Swell Wedding at PearIington.

One of the most brilliant events
that have taken place here in many
years transpired Wednesday even
ing at the Methodist church, when
Miss Lollie Russ, one of the pref
tiest and most graceful-or we
say, without exaggeration, the
prettiest young lady in this town,
was married to that sterling young
gentleman, Mr.. William Albert
Brown, Rev. G.. II. Galloway, Off
ciating in his usual, happy but
impressive style.
At 8 O'Clock the wedding party
formed in the vestry of the church
and marched to the altar in the
following style, the two ushers,
Messrs. Robert Cook and Joe
Brown; little Nettie Russ, niece
of the bride, as flower girl; Mr.. d.
L. Russia nephew of the bride, as
the groom's best man, with Miss
Geogie Brown, sister of the groom,
as maid of honor, then the bridal
couple. A magnificent arch OF
flowers and evergreens spread over
the altar rail and in the center of
which was suspended a marriage
bell also of flowers and evergreens,
besides other decorations which,
with the brilliant illuminations,
made a very lovely effect.
The wedding march was fault
lessly rendered by Mrs. Ouida Orr,
sister of the groom.
After the ceremony at the
church, the happy couple, attend
ed by numerous friends and rela-
tives, adjourned to the residence
of Mrs. Louisa Summers, the
brides sister, where they received
the congratulations of the party
assembled. They were the recep-
tents of many beautiful and costly
gifts.
The bride was faultlessly gowneG
in a lovely white organdie, trim.
med with real lace and narrow
satin ribbon, and sprinkled with
orange blossoms and lilies of the
valley. She wore a beautiful vel
of white illusion, held in place by
a sprig of orange blossom.
| At the reception a variety OF
delectable refreshments were serv-
ed, after which the guests listen
ed to some fine selections of music
by local talent and were hospita'
blv entertained in various way.
! The bride belongs to one OF
the oldest and most aristocrat-
| ic families in the county. She is
the youngest daughter of the late
IL. +. Russ, who was all that is
best and most captivating in that
delightful type of the true South
ern gentleman, of which he was sc
lfelicitious an embodiment, and ar
exemplar of that high sense OF
which deems the slightest stain
more deadly than a sword-thrust;
that urbanity and gracious polite
ness which recalls all that is
brightest in the womanly courtli-
ness and ion-like strength of the
ante-bellum generation of which
he was veteran. Her mother was
a Miss Netto, and a very beautiful
woman, the daughter of an honor
able and noble family which has
many descendants in this country.
She died several years ago of ty-
phoid fever, the bridp at that
time being a very young child.
Besides being the descendant of
such an illustrious family the
young lady possesses a rare origi-
nality and a charming individuali-
of her own. She is pretty-very
pretty, accomplished, winsome
manners and has a lovely DISPOSE
ton. The groom is to be congrat-
ulated upon securing such price
less treasure.
Mr.. Brown, the lucky individ-
ual in the affair, is young gen
tleman of great merit, talented
well educated and of a broad and
liberal mind, he is personally pop
uIar. He is at present superin-
tendent of our Sunday School,
which is mark of high honor
and especially to one so young as
he. Stores of practical knowledge
and profitable experience; the
scholars patience; personal mag,
netism; indomitable courage;
strength of character, and spot.
less past, enriched by countless
deeds in the general interest OF
the community, all these we cheer
fully concede are exemplified in
their fullest measure in the per.
son of Albert Brown. Of the first
order of social standing he ha;
every gift that a good man prize:
and every attribute that is embod
led in the makeup Of g valuable
citizen.
To the happy pair the writer ex'
tends his fluctuations and sincere
| ly hopes that their voyage over the
marital sea may be as long as time
and as peaceful as a midsummer
dream, bringing sunshine and hap
piness to the very brim of the
golden bowl of domestic tranquil.
