BLACKsBURG, May 9.-The marriage of
Miss Katherine, the youngest daughter OF
Major Jno. F. Jones, of this place, to Mr..
Thomas W. Fry, of Claremont, New
Hampshire, was celebrated here yesterday
at noon in the Episcopal Church of the
Atonement. The Rev. DR.. Mccullough,
rector of the church, was the officiating
minister. The decorations consisted of
eyergreens and white flowers arranged
with exquisite taste and in perfect keep
ing with so joyful an occasion. A unique
feature, aud one which added much to
the attractiveness of decorative art, was
beautiful bouquet Of white lilies and
ferns tied with white ribbon to the end
of each pew, the entire length of the
aisle. The church was filled with highly
intelligent and stylishly dressed audi
ence, both of our own citizens and quite
number Of friends of the bride and groom
who came from distance.
Precisely at II, to the sweet soft strains
of the wedding march, played by Mr.. c.
c, Burger, came the bridal party, pre-
ceded by their ushers, Messrs. Robt.
Withers and Ed Duff. The first were two
handsome boys-- Masters Jack Church and
Robert Gautier-followed by two sweet
little maidens, exquisitely dressed in
white China silk, each bearing on her arm
a basket of white carnations. They were
Helen Gautier and GenevleVe wilcox;
and Immediately behind them came the
yery pretty little maid Of honor, Miss
Lulu Gautier, also attired in white China
silk, Then came the bride leaning on
the arm of her father. She was beautiful
" dressed in white silk and wore very
handsome and becoming Gainsborough
hat. They were met at the chancel by
the groom and DR.. Mccullough, and in
the presence of loving hearts and kind
friends, with the beautiful, chaste and
solemn service Of the church, these two
highly favored young persons plighted
their troth, and were joined together in
the holy estate Of matrimony. An ele-
CANT reception. was given in the spacious
Darlors of Cherokee Inn, the home of the
bride, to which the invited guests imme-
diately repaired. Here the happy couple
received the hest wishes and congratula-
tions of their friends, after which refresh
ments were served, and they, needless to
say, were both bountiful and elegant,
and rarely is there seen so magnificent
display of beautiful flowers as greeted
the guests in every available space Of the
large room. Indeed, everything was
done by the loving parents and devoted
friends of the bonnie bride, to make her
happy, and the entry of these two very
popular and honored young people upon
their new life, was under the most auspi-
cious and favored circumstances. The
presents were numerous, costly and
useful, and were another exhibition of
the high esteem in which the parties were
held.
A most pleasing incident of the marriage
is, that it is the first ever solemnized in
the church, and the bride was baptized,
confirmed, and finally married at its altar
rail. The groom is a SON of Mr.. Thomas
E. Fry, prominent business man OF Chi
cago. He is graduate of the School of
Technolgy, Boston, Mass, by profession
mechanical engineer, and at present su-
perintendent and manager of the Sullivan
Manufacturing company, Of Claremont,
\. H., and for his youth, occupies high
position in business and manu- featuring
circles.
