A Beautiful wedding at Grace Episcopal
Church Wednesday Evening,

Church Wednesday Evening,
One of the most select audiences
ever seen in this city was that which
assembled at Grace Episcopal church,
on Sixth street, Wednesday evening,
to witness the marriage of Mr.. John
D. Elliott, prominent young tobac.
conist of Owensboro, and Miss Emily
Auchinleck Wheeler, daughter of DR..
VIM. G. Wheeler, one of Hopkins
ville's most prominent citizens. The
church was beautifully and tastefully
decorated, and the soft light from the
chandeliers was thrown over an assem-.
blage composed Of the creme de la
creme of Hopkinsville's society. The
bridesmaids entered the'church from
the vestry, and preceded by Masters
Eloise Bradshaw and James Wheeler,
the pages, met the bride at the church
door. The best man was Wheeler
Campbell, of Paducah, and the Maid
of Honor was Miss Elizabeth Morris
of Natchez. The attendants were
Messrs. William Sites, Whit Clark,
Startling Thompson and Charles Dali
Ian, of Henderson; Brantford Clark,
of Owensboro, and Frank Buckner,
of this city, and Misses Rosa Drane,
of GAINESVILLE; Reita Faxon, of Chat
tanooga; May Goodwin, of Ovens
boro; and Letticia Fairleigh, Ger
trude Bramham and Alice Scobey, of
this city. The ushers were Messrs
Walker Wood and Gordon Nelson, of
this city. ..
The wedding hymn was sung as a
choral service by Misses Green Hen,
~, Madge Fairleigh, Jennie Winfree,
Eloi.e Nelson and Elizabeth Blake
more, of this city, who were stationed
in the chancel as the wedding party
approached the altar.
Mr.. Malcolm Smith, of GAINESVILLE
sang the solo, ooh, Promise Me-" at
the close of the marriage ceremony
which was performed by Rev. j. W.
Venable, the former rector of Grace
church. @
Immediately following the ceremo-
ny at the church the wedding party,
accompanied by a large number Of iu-
vited guests, repaired to Hotel
Latham, where an elegant reception
was held, closing with a banquet,
both of which were among the most
notable and brilliant events of the
kind that ever took place in this city.
At the close of the banquet the bri-
dial couple left on a special train for
Greensboro, their future home.
The wedding presents were both
numerous and elegant, having been
received from relatives and friends re-
siding in dozen states, and consti-
tuted one of the most beautiful and
elegant assortments of the kind ever
seen, not only in Hopkinsville but in
kentucky.
The bride is possessed of many &C
complishments, and is most attrac-
tive young lady and great favorite
in Hopkinsville society.
The groom is prosperous young
tobacco dealer, and is quite popular
with all.
The couple will probably go to
Europe in August, to spend some
time,

The wife of Mr.. J. O. Nuckolls,
living three miles east of this place,
died Thursday night, January Gath.
She leaves husband and seven chill
dren, one is baby only about two
weeks old.
Mrs. Nuckolls was the only sister
OF our townsman, Mr.. E. F. Kirtley,

Thus it is, one by one, we leave
this world, to enter upon an existence
in another cline. How little we think
about that great change that must
take place, when we enter upon the
shores of eternity.
Mrs. Nuckolls was kind-hearted
good woman, and strict member OF
the Baptist church.
May this sad bereavement cause

strive harder to reach that everlast.
