When from the organ sounded the notes of the bridal chorus from Lohen- grin last night at Temple Emanuel the handsome church was filled with the friends of Miss Hannah Levy and MT. Henry Rock of Meridian, who were drawn thither to witness the ceremony which made them man and wife. Throughout the congregation there was an expectant interest that was soon grat- flied by one of the prettiest wedding scenes witnessed this winter. The only decorations in the temple were very large, luxuriant palms placed in and about the chancel In the seats near the chancel were many handsome ladies in evening gowns from many southern cities, as well as Birmingham.
 Professor Guckenberger presided at the organ and as the bridal chorus sounded the ushers, Messrs. Leo Rich. Ed Funkenstein, Morris Beck, l.. w. Fried man, Sam Rosenbaum Louis Forst, Sid ney Hart and l.. Fies, came up the right and left aisles to the chancel in couples and took their position on either side of it. Then came the bridesmaids and grooms- men-irst a bridesmaid and then groomsmen-up the two aisles until they reached the chancel, when they ascended it and formed a lovely tableau just in the rear of Rabbi Morris Newfeld, who stood awaiting the bridal party. The brides maids took their positions in front of the groomsmen, forming a semi-circle. The bridesmaids-Miss Amelia Strauss of Columbus, Ga., Miss Tracy Cohen of Fort Gaines. Ga., Miss Cecil Policeman of Meridian, Miss, Miss Jennie Morris of Demopolis and Miss Amelia Marckstein and Miss Estelle Slaughter of Birming ham-were beautifully gowned, two In pink, two in yellow and two in blue toi- letteS, each carrying large punches of bride roses and when they formed a semi-circle in the chancel the erect was exceedingly lovely and artistic.
 After the bridesmaids and groomsmen came the two maids of honor, one in each aisle, Miss Ethel Levy, sister of the bride, and Miss Violet MarckStein, both wear ing handsome gowns of white satin, cov cred with white chiffon, and carrying punches of white roses. They stood at either end of the semi-circle formed by the other attendants. Then came up the left aisle the fair bride upon the arm of her brother, MT. Levy, of Mississippi, and up the right aisle came the groom. MT. Henry Rock, of Meridian. and his best man, MT. Leo Rock, of Mississippi. The brides toilette was one of simple elegance--heavy white satin, en traine, trimmed with point lace on the waist, and ~veil of tulle. The groomsmen-Messrs Isidor Levy, M. D. Friedman, J. Cary Thompson Max Mey- er Sydney Rosenbaum, c. E. Kline and Leo Steiner-all wore boutonnieres of bride roses, as did the ushers also.
 Rabbi Newfeld impressively performed the marriage ceremony. during which appropriate selections were played by Professor Guckenbergef, and at its con- clusion the immortal wedding march by Mendelssohn pealed forth from the or gan.
 The marriage at the temple was fol- lowed by a large and beautiful reception at the Florence hotel to the bride and groom.
