teeGed young friend and townsman
Mr.. G. B. Miller, also that of Mr..

MILLER-BURWELL.
Yesterday was a typical wedding
day. The sky was bright and clear,
the atmosphere crisp ard bracing,
and the First Presbyterian church
was filed with a large and fashion,
able audience to witness the nups
tials of Mr.. Chas. B. Miller and Miss
Anna r. Burwell. Promptly at 1890
O'Clock to the notes of the organ,
presided over by Miss Bette Din
widdie, the church organist, the
bridal party entered the church.
First, the Rev. DR.. BuIwell. the
venerable grandfather Of the bride,
cow in his 92ud year, accompanied
by Rev. DR.. Daniel, pastor of the
church, and who Was to assist In the
marriage ceremony. Next came the
ushers singly up each aisle, Messrs.
John Miller and Edward Borden,
DR.. W. II. Cobb and Maj. Samuel
Telfair, Mr.. Chas. B. Miller and his
best man Mr.. Hugh Miller, then
proceeded Up the south aisle, and
the maid of honor, Miss Rena Bur>
well, up the north. The bride en-
tered leaning on the arm Of her
father, Capt, John B. Burwell, and
was met at the foot Of the steps
leading to the pulpit platform by
the groom. The simple but i'm
pressiYe marriage ceremony Of the
Presbyterian church was then in
troduced by DR.. Daniel in a few
beautiful remarks. DR.. Burwell
then took charge, concluding in a
most touching and appropriate man~
ner the benediction.
Nj. and Mrs. Miller then repaired
to the Union Depot, accompanied
by "a large number of friends, where
they took the train for Richmond,
Chicago and the Worlds Fair.
The church was most beautifully
and tastefully decorated. The pulpit
had been removed and broad, easy
steps placed in front of the rostrum,
around which were banked most
rare and beautiful eyergreens, and
overhead was suspended a most
elaborate marriage bell made of
smilax c%arnation and pink.
Mrs, 0. H. Foster, we understand,
had charge of the decorations, and
their plan and execution certainly
reflected great credit Oh Eer taste
and skill.
Mr.. Miller is a popular and acS
complished young business man Of
Goldsboro, and is a son of DR.. J. +.
Miller, superintendent of the East
era Hospital. Mrs. Miller is the
third daughter of Capt, John B,
Burwell, and is one of the most pop
ular and accomplished young ladies
of our city. She has been for some
time a leading member of the choir
of the Presbyterian church and
organist of the Sunday school. That
church will seriously miss her.

their future home at Goldsboro.
