At Hymen's Altar.

On the evening of the 18th ult. it was
the privilege of your correspondent to at
tend one of the most enjoyable affairs Of
his whole life, viz: A Christmas wedding
at a most hospitable country home, that
of Mr.. W.S. Elrod, the contracting par
ties his only daughter, Miss Lilly Cor
rine, and Albert Sydney Farmer, OF
4 SBroyles, Anderson County.
The beautiful and impressive ceremony
Dickson. of Columbia, while the chosen
musician, Miss Doane Eaynie, of Green
VILE, softly play "Oh, Promise Me-
The bride was tastefully robed in white
satin, with trimmings of pearl and rib
s bon. carrying in her hand a handsome
boquet Of English daisies and maiden
hair fern, the position being beneath a
sscupid' 3 bow.
The petite flower girl was Miss jose

attendants: Miss Birdie Duckworth,

IS. e.; Miss Annie Arnold, of Anderson,
with w. C. Broyles, Of Broyles, s. c.;
Misss Jeanette Haynie, Of Greenvalle,
with d. s. Vandiver, of Anderson.
The menu consisted Of everything chat
was palatable and delicate from the pig
and turkey to the most delicious fruits
and confections. On the 30th an elegant
reception was rendered the bride and
groom at the residence of the groom g
father, Mr.. N. O. Farmer. ]. NJ. r.
Married, at the residence Of the BRIDES
father, Mr.. I. G. Cam, at 3 p. M. ON
Wednesday evening, Dec. %, by Rev.
y. B. Heron, Mr.. 1. 0. Kay and Miss
bessie Cam, all of Anderson County.
Atthe hour above mentioned the groom,
with his bride, who blushed apologeti-
cally for being so beautiful in features
and attire, leaning on his arm, followed
the following couples as waiters-Mr.
II. b. Hall with Miss Cora Cam, Mr..
81. G. Carroll with Miss Lula King, MIR.
Curtis Cam with Miss Daisy Elackuan
were ushered into the presence of the
minister and assem- blage. All seemed to
be aware of the solemnity OF the occa-
sion, and none more than the contracting
parties themselves, and in their responses
TO the urbane minister's questions there
Was no ambiguity, and the sincerity Of
their vows was apparent to all. After
the twain were made one, supper was
announced, and such a supper We
would fail if we attempted its descrip-
ton, and will only say that ornamentally
and decoratively there was nothing lack
ing, and the sight of it would have made
the soul of any gastronomIc swell with
pride. The feast over, we were treated to
soul l-mellowipg music for an hour or so,
discoursed by Miss Cora Cam and Mrs.
Bessie Kay from the organ, which seem
ed to share the happiness Of the occasion.
1t was an event enjoyed by all, and du-
ring the whole evening there was nothing
that had the least tendency to mar orr
royal mirth.'' In our reminiscent moods
of future years should they be allotted
us) this scene will be among the most
pleasant. Surely peerless Isham has won
a "gem Of purest ray serene and we
.rnst that their inexperienced feet may
learn to tread safely the labyrinthian
mazes of lifes pathway and their hearts
be prepared its every snare to meet and
that kind fate may enfold in its mantle of
protection and the fragrance of roses be-
dew andssweeten their walk, which leads
not only them but all that follow therein
from the peace of earth to the bliss Of
heaven. A FRIEND.
