kITTRELI., y. e., Jan EN- one OF the
most beautiful and impressive services
ever held in st. James church, kittrell,
the Rector, the Rev. James Il. Avrett, at
noon to day united the lives Of Miss
Lalla kittrell Raney, of this place, and
Mr. Clifton Boswell Cheatham, of Louis
burg
Mr.. and Mrs c. W. Raney, parents of
the bride, received their friends at the
residence from nine to eleven last even
ing. Besides the elite OF Kittrel and vi
cinity, | noted among those present Mr..
and Mr.. B. b. Raney, Of Raleigh; Mrs. J.
H. F. Strauss, OF Henderson; Mr. and
Mrs J. Theo Cheatham, the Misses
Cheatham and Mr.. Will Lands, of Ok
ford Miss Crudup, OF Louisburg, Mr.. and
Mrs. Cannady, of Granville county, and
and Miss Hastings, of Boston, Mass.
The cOnSummate taste which charac-
terizes all that Mr.. and Mrs. Raney I'M
dertake was never more manifest than
on this occasion. Their elegant residence
was artistically decorated with flowers
and evergreens. \ recherche collation.
was most daintiy served.
The bride-elect, becOminglv arrayed in
white silk, received her friends informally
but most charmingly. Rarely have two
hours been as pleasantly spent as by
those fortunate enough to be present..
The bridal gifts were numerous and ell
egant and in harmony with the prevail
ing good taste.
At the marriage the church was decor
ated in native evergreens for which Kit
trell is famous Messrs kittrell, Mr.
I, II. Crudup and Mr.. II. 2. Strause act
ed as ushers. The bride wore travel
ling costume OF artistic brown, and was
attended at the altar by her sister, Miss
Lucy kittrell; the groom by his best
man, Mr.. Will Lands, OF Oxford. The
bride was given away by her uncle, Mr..
r. b. Ranc, of Raleigh.
The bridal couple left on the 12:44
train for sojourn in Washington, d.
e., after which they will make their home
in LOuisbIrg, y. E.
TO few young people taking this deci-
sive step does the future promise as much
as it does to this couple to whom all
kittrelI wishes God-speed to-day. The
bride, who is SO we'll known and popular
in the State, adds sterling qualities to
her grace and attractivenesS. She pos
sesse5 literary and artistic ability Of a
high order, which only her modest esti-
mate OF her powers has kept back from
the wider publicity they so richly deserve.
Mr.. Cheatham is one OF the most prom
inent members OF the leaf tobacco trade
of Louisburg. He possesses in a high de-
gree the confidence of the business men
Of that progressive town; he has shown
special aptitude for his chosen calling;
i'll short, he is not only a highly resrec
ted, but Il successful and prosperous
young business man.
There is no case Of billiousneSS, conSti-
patton, indigestion, 'heart-burn,' or any
of the rest Of the nightmare breeding
brood that DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
will not cure.
