EDWARDS-URBANSKY
a Brilliant Society Event: The South and
The West in WedIock.

in the approach of the happy
event which eliminated yester.
day. the marriage of Miss Chars
lotte, the beautiful, accomplished
and amiable daughter CT Mr.. and
Mrs. Asher Edwards. OF this
city, to Nh. VIM. Urbansky. OF
Lawrence, Kansas, oLe of the
leading merchants of that thriv-
ing western city and a young
man of wide popularity and brill
liant promise, who by his genial
disposition, frank countenance
and sterling traits of character
makes friends wherever. he goes
and wills. We would not have
thought it possible that a young
man could come from anywhere
and take away with him one of
the prettiest flowers in Goldss
boro's galaxy Of beautiful women
and at the same time win SO many
friends among our people: but
Mr.. Urbansky has done both; and
truly is he to be congratulated
upon the rare treasure he has

The impressive ceremony was
solemniz9d at 4:3O O'Clock in the
lovely Oheb Sholem synagogue,
which was deliberately and artis-

occasion, green garlands grace>
fully traversed the walls and
festoonsadorned the chandeliers,
while banks Of evergreen and
red carnations, japonicas and
lovely lilies Toasted the eye from
the chancel. and soft light from
blinking candles and electroliers
brought out all the rich loneliness
of the scene.
Long before the appointed
hour, the beautiful edifce was
thronged with the relatives and
friends OF the contracting par
ties, admission being had by
ticket, and when the first notes
of Msndelssohn's thrilling wed
ding march, from a full orches
trail Italian band, fell upon the
ears Of the waiting congregation,
there was hardly vacant seat
The parents Of the groom, Mr..
and Mrs. A. Urbansky, of St.
Mary's, Kansas. who have won a
host Of friends among u peo-
pie, the mother and grand
mother and Immediate family of
the bride, occupied The front
pews; while in the reserved sec

tives and more intimate friends
of the bridal pair.
The master Of ceremonies was
Mr.. a. Hilb, and the ushers were
Messrs. Abe Cohen, n. n. Aaron,
Lipman Lachman aud Leopold
Cohen. The flower girls were
little Misses Mamie, Essie and
Judith Edwards. Mr.. Charles
Pearl was "uest man." and Miss
Lily Edwards, sister of the bride,
was maid of honor. The ott er
attendants were Miss Lily Urban.
sky sister Of the groom, Mrs. N.
n. Aaron, and Miss Byrdie Ed
wards, and Massrs NIX Cohen,
Leonard Edwards, Brother Of the
bride, and Ben Edwards. These,
forming the bridal procession, in
due order arranged themselves
inside the chancel rail. where the
officiating minister, Rabbi J. L
Mayerberg, stood ia waiting. and
as the lovely bride, leaning on
the arm Of her father, and a
dream of grace and beauty in her
superb wedding gown and fow~
ing vail, approached the altar
tbs groom was led forth from the
vestry by his best man and the
two met before the minister and
the impressive service that was
to effect the eternal locking of
their livestogether was solemniz-

As the large congregation look
ed on the solemn yet happy scene,
and the rich, full voice of the Minis
lister, in invocation, ceremony and
prayer, fell upon their ears, we

swiftest wing, trayersed thousands
