ever before in its proud history.
In the First Presbyterian Church
yesterday afternoon at3:30 o'clock
Rev. +. b. Webb said the beautiful
and impressive ceremony which
blended into one, the lives of Mr..
William Rufus Hutton of Shelby
Vile, and Miss Mary Elizabeth Dale.
The bright sunshine had been
shut out from the church, and soft,
mellow, artificial lights were sub
stituted. The choir ratings and
the pulpit abounded in rich pro-
fusion with palms and other potted
plants, with the beautiful green Of
the ivy INTERVIEWING everywhere,
and this was all brightly lit up with
candles innumerable, while at
every pew was found bunch Of
ivy tied with white ribbon.
Before the doors were opened
nearly enough people to fill the
church were waiting for admission,
and when the appointed hour had
come every available space was
crowded. While the ushers were
obligingly performing their pleasant
duties, Miss Minnie fowler, on the
organ, and Mr.. j. Hough Guest on
ence with most delightful music.
When the bridal party came they
were preceded by the ushers, two up
each aisle; Mr.. Will P. Ridley and
Mr.. Lawson Wilhoite of Shelbyville,
on the right; Mr.. Cheairs Mayes
and Mr.. Sam Harlan on the left,
and Messrs. Ulner Foster and Ed
Perry in the centre. Following
these and abreast, came the groom
with his best man, Dr.. Guy Frierson
of Shelbyville, up the right aisle,
Miss Mamie Akin, the Maid of
Honor in the center, and the bride,
leaning upon the arm of her brother,
Mr.. Andrew Dale, on the left aisle.
The bride and groom met at the
altar, where their attendants and
their pastor were waiting to receive
them.
In this brief moment while she
stood gowned in rich Ottaman silk d,
trimmed in chiffon, her face shaded
by her bridal veil, which was
pinned with pearl pendant-a gift
from the groOm-carrying a large
bunch of pink roses, and wait
ing to plight her troth to the
man she loved, there was never
"A prettier picture than this modest,
trusting bride reflected; and a
stranger might have known by the
eloquence of his earnestness as well
as the beauty of his words, that the
words of authority were breathed
in love by the pastor who spoke
them, and that the tender blessing
was heart prayer, as devout as
beautiful.
After the impressive service had
been said and they had plighted
their troth the one to the other to
glove, cherish and sustain until
death did them part" they retired
from the church, the bride and
groom leading, followed by the
Maid of Honor, who was becoming
ly gowned in white organdie over
satin, carrying bunch of maiden
hair ferns, and wearing an
amyethist and pearl pima gift from
the bride-and then the ushers.
The bride is the only daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. w. j. Dale. Every
day of her young womanhood she
has been help to her church, an
ornament to society and blessing
to her home. She will be missed as
young ladies rarely are. Her voice is
as flute-like as thatof a birds and hel
face a true index to her heart, which
thinking no evil reflected none. She
has given her heart and her hand
and her future into the keeping of g
most deserving gentleman: moral
upright and honorable; a prosper
Gus clothing. merchant of the neigh.
boring town of ShelbyvilIe. He is a
brother to Mr.. Joe. l.. Hutton, of the
Ph@uiX Bank.
The hearty congratulations and
sincere good wishes of Columbia al
large, will go with them on LIES
journey.
Following the marriage the
brides parents gave an elegant re-
ception at their residence on West
Sixth street, to the bridal party,

most intimate friends. The house

lor in white and green, the sitting
room in yellow, the dining room in
pink. Several courses of delicious
refreshments were served, 2nC
