On Wednesday, March 10th, at the
home Of the brides mother, Mrs. NJ.
Is. Harper, near White Sui. Springs,
Mr.. Sidney EstOn Pace and Miss Susie
Harper were united in marriage, by
Rev. J. ID. Martin. The ceremony was
beautiful and impressive. The bride
wore cream cOlored brocaded silk,
trimmed with cream satin, and white
roses in her hair. She also carried
large bunch of the same beautiful How
crs, which made the parlor fragrant
with their freshness and perfume.
The groom, rs he sealed his VOW with
the wide, gold band, prepared for the
occasion, looked, as he should, the hap.
piest OF the happy. On the presenta-
ton of the ring the glove was drawn
| by Miss Stella mclaughlin, the brides
pretty and accomplished neice, who
came from Hollins Institute to attend
her aunt'S marriage. The wedding
march was beautifully rendered by
Mrs. Lee Harper, Sisterin-law of the
bride. After congratulations all re-
paired to the pretty and tastefully deco
rated dining room, where all seemed to
do justice to the many good things
awaiting them there. After luncheon
some time was passed in real social en-
Joyment, interspcrsed with music, by
Misses1Stela McGlaughlin, Florence
Harper and Mrs. Lee Harper.
The brides cake was bl ought in and
placed in the centre of the parlor, and
the bride was requested to cut the first
slice, all the young people gathering
around and literally cut the cake to
pieces in search of the coveted ring -
Miss Fannie Harper, sister of the bride,
cut small slice and held up the ring
amid the congratulations Of those
around.
When the time for separation came
all seemed sorry to go, for all felt that
the evening had been one of the most
enjoyable they had ever spent. The
bride is one Greenbrier's most beauti-
full and accomplished daughters, and
the groom is one of COvington's most
highly respected citizens. The happy
couple left Thursday eve for Coying-
ton, Va, their future home. AS they
entered the carriage at home and the
train at the depot they were covered
with showers of rice and the good
wishes of the many friends who came
to see them off. May their married
life, to it's close, he as pleasant and
happy as the hours we spent with them
The presents were numerous and ele.
