The Forrest City times., 1900-03-23
Sanders Mosley.

lhe ceieDrati0il or that sacred inSti- tuition -marriage-always carries with 1t certain amount of curiosity and speculation, and awakens the livelest interest in community which in ordi- nary times is dull and commonplace. But in our little city where scarcely a week passes that some charming social event does not occur to engage the thoughts and enlist the sympathies of its elite, it would seem almost impossi- ble to imagine any function which would claim unusual or universal at tention. Such were the conditions, however, as a result of the announce ment of the Sanders Mosley marriage, which was solemnized Tuesday after noon at the Methodist church.
 The principals in these happy nup- iials are universally popular and the fact being known that the tender rela. tions which had existed between them for so long were about to culTinate in a manner satisfactory to everyone, it was most natural that every mind should be consumed, and every heart should be fired with a desire to witness the tying of the matrimonial knot. The Methodist church was filled to it's ut most capacity, and friends and curious strangers stood up in the doorway and were packed behind 9neanother for some distance out into the street, all straining their faculties, and eager to catch one glimpse of the bsautiful bride or intercept one of her heavenly smiles. As the hour drew nigh for the ceremony the expectant and anx. ious attitude of the great audience was indeed amusing to behold. It seemed to be a blending of solemn solicitude, laughter, sighs, pathos and joy, and those who endeavored to appear uncon. cerned failed utterly aud ignomini. ously. Some were trying to guess how Miss Hattie would look, others won- dered which would be the most fright. sned-Mr. Trey or his bride-snd 1t was a litter here, with sigh of impa- tience from your companion to keep it company. and thus the assemblage was held and swayed by changable moods of mingled mirth and impatience.
 At 3:l0 the superb qualifying tube organ at which Mrs. E. D. Hatcher presided. pealed forth the inspired strains of MendelsOhn's wedding march which announced the coming of the bridal party. Immediately all eyes were turned toward the entrance, and frowns and sighs of impatience were instantly and as if by magic trans. formed into beautiful smiles of approv- al and satisfaction. It seemed as if the features of every person in the audience, young and old, were clothed with radiant and happy smiles which Sped like sunbeams from their faces, and all Seemed in perfect touch and harmony with the thrilling sentiment suggested by the sea of bright counte. l fiances.
 Down the left aisle came Miss Mat. tie always so good and beautiful, on this important occasion, she appeared perfect paragon of purity and lovli- ness-the observed of all observers, the admired of sll eyes--lenning upon the arm Of Her fair cousin, Miss Mary Lancaster. and proceeded by Mir. Eu. gene Williams, one of the ushers, she approached the altar.
 Down the right aisle came the groom, Mr. Walter Troy Sanders. with his brother and best ft,an. Dr. Jno. T Sanders, both of whom were faultlessly clad in the conventional black, pre- ceeded by Mir. Richard II. Winfield; as usher.
 The parties met in the centre of the aisle in front of the chancel and i'm mediately Bros. Davidson and Couch stepped out upon the rostrum, wher Bro. Davidson pronounced the solemn ceremony which fiade Walter Fro, Sanders and Hattie Laura Mosley on. flesh. BrO. Coucli offered prayer. afteI which Bro. Davidson administered the sacred VOWS, and the happy, but trying ordeal had passed. During the cert, mony the beautiful strains of "Oh Promise Me-" canie like x gentle and soothing murmur from the organ and as the bridal party reformed and passed out by the right aisle, Mrs Hatcher rendered the marcl, by Ish engrin. The charming picture hat passed and the influences which hat held the congregation in mute and en raptured admiration were dispelled Everyone began talking at exactly tn, same moment, and every heart wal overilowing with love and best wishes Truly, ''out of tlfe abundance of tn, heart the mouth speaketh. ?
 The bride was tastefully but simpl, ! :..
