Franklin-Price Wedding.

". Franklin ana MISS Viola V. Prlce
occurred at high noon Thursday at the
residence of the brides parents, Rev.
and Mrs. S. Price. Shortly before u
o'clock noon, all the guests had ar
rived, and promptly at u o'clock the
wedding march was begun By Miss
Hale of Winfield. At the front of
the room and Just back of the parlor
bay window hung an immense bell
wreathed Of flowers. The rooms
throughout the house we're hung with
beautiful floral designs the chief en-
blem being the rose. At the begin
ming of the wedding march, the
grOOmsman, Prof. R. B. Dunlevy of
Winfield, and bridesmaid, Miss Maude
Price, sister of the bride, advanced
from an adjoining room and took their
places on each side of the beautiful
floral bell design. They were imme-
diately preceded by the little flower
girl and following them came the
bride and groom, who took their
places beneath the bell, facing
the three ministers, Rev. S. Price,
Rev. ]. K. Miller and Rev. Place, of
Winfield. The tones of the wedding
march died away and the first of the
ceremony was pronounced by Rev.
Place. The ceremony proper was
then pronounced by Rev. Price, after
which Rev. Miller offered an earnest
prayer in behalf Of the happy parties.
The ceremony being over, cOngratu.
latiOns many and sincere were show
cred upon the bride and groom by
their friends who had gathered to
witness the one happy event Of ALL
Later the tables were adorned with
everything wholesome and delicate,
and those who were favored to sit at
those tables enjoyed one Of the most
delicious repasts of their lives. They
fingered long at the tables and every
one enjoyed the social spirit of the
event.
As the parties fingered, reluctant
to depart, the time was made most
entertaining by the excellent violin
and piano music by Miss Hale of Win
field and Master Ed Jones of this city.
Mrs. Mcpherson Of Louisville, KY,
charmed her hearers by her singing.
All the time the bride and groom
were the recipients of many compli-
ments which were certainly merited.
The bride, dressed in white satin
Duchess of beautiful pattern, was a
center Of merited admiration. She
presented an appearance altogether
beautiful and demeanor entirely be-
coming. The groom was dressed in a
black suit of neat and stylish pattern
and aside from his wedding attire, he
showed his genius and earnestness as
a man, and a true gentleman of cul-
ture he is. The bridesmaid wore a
beautiful Swiss dress, and the grooms-
man becoming black suit.
1t would be a useless attempt to try
to describe the numerous presents
given by relatives and friends. The
gifts were profuse in their number
and elegance. Presents Of beauty,
use and value were received and will
be cherished more for the motives
which prompted their presentation.
1t has never been our pleasure to
attend a marriage ceremony of such
praisewOrthy attributes. The event
was one Of uninterrupted pleasure as
becomes such a happy occasion.
Both parties, more especially the
bride, have many friends here who
extend their best wishes. The bride
is known throughout the American
literary world, and among her most
valued presents are those which she
received from authors. The groom
also is prominent in the educational
circles.
