THE MAGOFFIN- -BUFORD WEDDING.
A Brief and UnOstentiOus Ceremony
Off for Mexico this Evening.

Deputy Collector James Magoffin and
Miss Annie BufOrd, daughter of the
American consul at Juarez, were
married this noon in the church of the
Immaculate Conception on Myrtle

large and fashionable dressed audience.
The auditorium was filled sometime
before the bridal party entered, and
was treated to q Chopin selection from
Mrs. E. @. Roberts at the organ.

sui Buford with his daughter the
bride leaning on his arms. The bride
was attired in white duchess satin aud
point lace, with handsome veil sus-
pended from a jewel in her hair and
holding large boquet of marsheneil
roses. The bridesmaids and maid of
honor were attired in pink silk and
lace. The groom received his bride
at the altar where her father gave her
away, and during the ceremony which
was simple, Mrs. Roberts played the
wedding music from Lohengrin and
the "Divine Evening Star" from Tam

The Presbyterian Entertainment.

1t was well the Presbyterian enter
tainment management changed from
Chopin Hall to the opera house for
Saturday night, for the audience filed
the entire floor OF the opera house and
most of the gallery. The affair was a
success in every way, and the net re-
ceipts were over SlOO The church peo-
pie were courteously helped out by
their friends in the way of dramatis
Dersonae, so that the talent of the town
was very fairly represented.
The first scene was the parade OF
twenty little girls dressed in red gowns
with white caps and fscbus-that is
to say, the writer supposes they were
h-chus, but not b-4inR a woman, he wont
| swear to the same. The children had
dolls and went through their drill and
mapoeuvers with the dolls in a very
cute way, and their singing was just as
interesting. The audience refused to

took three to satisfy popular clamor. -
The second scene was dream scene
in we'll furnished apartment, the
dreamer being Judge Hunter who was
lying in an easy chair fast asleeped.

while colored fires streamed back and
forth back of the scene.
The next event vas piano duet,
selections from Brahms Hungarian
dances by Mrs. Joseph Goodmand
and Mrs E. G. Roberts which
was encored. The performance was
thoroughly an artistic one, but the
So1p o1a
that audience. However, it was en-
joyed and recall was responded to and
the audience was treated to another
duet from these two artists.
The fourth number on the program
was painters studio with living pic
lures and an original performance by
the artist that was very amusing, the
scene concluding with an andante
