the Fourth Baptist Church last Sab

audience, which greeted him and
showed their appreciation of him by

on the head. Re was picked up I'M
conscious and the ambulance corp in
charge of Doctor Lynn, was summon

tune with that of Mr.. Oliver Randolph
at the residence of Mrs. Emma J.
Murray. No. BOIL P. Street. A select
number OF invited guests were present
TO pay homage and congratulations TO
the young couple, who were among the
most popular on Church Hill.
The bride was handsomely costumed
and her appearance created a magical
effect upon the assemblage, and from
all parts of the room Obs and Abs

dressed in the conventional black, was
looking fine Rev. Payne tied the
silken knot. (Which by the way is not
so easily untied,) which pronounced
them man and wife. After the cere-
mony some OF Church Hil's best mus
ical talent helped TO render the occas-
ion joyous one. Refreshments were
the company dispersed. The reception
Sunday afternoon, was grand and all
enjoyed themselves.
HARRIs-LoCKRTT NUPTIALs.
At the present rate Church Hill will
be populated by married couples, but
then we forget the brides and grooms'
younger sisters and brothers, who. by
the way are fast making their debut
into the social circles and Church Hill
wont be 80 desolate after all. Cupid
continues his wild revels and the
young people to end it all seek matri-
mony.
We learned that the Harris Lockett
nuptials were among the grande est held
for a long while Miss Julia f. B.
Lockett was united in wedlock to Mr.

ried at the home of the brides rela-
tives, No. 1856 N. 3rd st. The rooms
were tastefully decorated. Rey. u.

his usual excellent style, and to attest
