WESTMINSTER, S. c., January 3, 1885,.
MEssRs. EDITORS: During the Christ
mas holidays. Just past, the young peo-
pie of our quiet little burg took notion
to celebrate the season by honoring
custom as old as Adam. namely, that OF
joining hearts and hands to walk together
the rest of their lives. Three or four
couples were united on the same day, but
the event of the season was the marriage
of Mr.. Newton A. King. of Texas, to Miss
Lucy Terrell. second daughter OF one OF
our most excellent citizens, Mr.. Allen
Terrell.
The marriage ceremony was performed
by the popular pastor, Rev. W. W. Leath-
ers, in the Baptist church at $ o'clock 7.
NJ, December 27, 1892.
AS it is well known our lady friends
always, after hearing OF marriage, greet
us with the question, "How was she
dressed9" Perhaps brief description
of the outfits of bride, groom and
attendants may not be amiss. First
came the lovely and petite Miss Effie
Stlibling, looking as fresh and bright as
a May rosebud, dressed in white Swiss,
trimmed in lace and Vatican bow Of
pink ribbon, semi-low neck and short
sleeves. She was attended by Mr.. Jabez
Jones, looking as handsome as usual in a
stylish evening suit. Next came the tall
and graceful form of Miss Sue King, look
ing like the embodiment of apoet's dream,
dressed in cream cashmere, trimmed with
chiffon and moire ribbon, with ''mitts' to
correspond Her attendant was the
noble, gentlemanly-looking Maurice Bar
ton, dressed as Mr.. Jones, in a finely
fitting prince Albert" coat, tan gloves.
white neck-tie, etc. But how can l find
words to describe the winning loveliness
of the blushing bride, as she came IN with
the superb. handsome groom? Sweet
Lucy" in rich crear-colored silk.
adorned with rich lace, over which fell
the soft folds of the long bridal veil, her
head crowned with the typical orange
wreath" made picture not soon to be
forgotten by those who saw her. While
the wedding march was being played by
that most charming of girls, Miss Pauline
Mason, the bridal party marched up to
the altar and took their stand under
beautiful arch, twined with ivy green,
where the Rev. Mr.. Leathers, in a beau
tiful and impressive ceremony, made
them 'sone'' It'll death do them part.
After the ceremony the bridal party
returned to Mr.. Te1rell's to partake OF
the wedding supper" and to those who
are acquainted with the culinary skill of
Mrs. Terrell it is needless to say it was
all that could be desired by the relatives
and friends of The bride there assembled.
Next day our worthy and hospitable
neighbors, Mr.. and Mrs. J. T. King, gave
reception dinner to the happy couple
and their friends, and quite appropriate
it appeared, too, as the young groom was
many hundred miles from the home OF
his parents, and he had been domesti-
Gated in the home of his kind uncle for
many months, while he was here at
school; and at this same school, too, it
would seem that he won the love of his
beautiful bride.
'eNewt' and sLucy' will certainly
carry with them to their far Western
home the kindest wishes and loving
remembrance of many warm friends here
in Westminster. NJ. F. P.
