Fashionable Wedding at CraigsviIIe.

Craigsville, Sept. 9.-The Craigsville
Presbyterian church was on Wednes-

daughter of Mr.. FL. Fl. Bennett and is
one of the most talented and accom-
plished young ladies of Craigsville.
The ceremony was performed by Rev
Mr.. Hall, their pastor, and was done
in beautiful and impressive manner.
The hour at which the marriage took
place was s O'Clock in the evening.
The church was artistically decorated
and wax tapers were burning from the
decorations, casting a gentle light on
the scene. FeStOOns of evergreens
were hanging from the walls and across
the church. From one of thu wreaths
over the central aisle hung a large
card on which was formed of golden

and her sister, Miss Verona as maid of
honor. Mrs. G. 8. Craig played the
wedding march and as the party walk
ed up the aisle in step to its happy
strains, they presented quite an i'm
posing scene. The bride was hand
somely attired ina white evening
dress and looked her best. The church
was filled with friends of the bride and
groom. After the marriage the couple
held a reception at the home of the

cities, where they will spend several
days. We wish them JOY in the full
