The house was beautifully decorated
with palms, ferns and many choice
flowers. Everywhere were beautiful
flowers but in the drawing room the
main interest centered, where was q
profusion of beautiful daisies and
vines, and in one corner of the room
was graceful arch of green, starred
with the beautiful ox.eyed daisies, and
suspended from it was wedding bell
of white sweet peas, under which the
bridal couple stood.
Promptly, at 8 o'clock, there was a
hush, as the strains of Mendelssohn's
wedding march began, skillfully rem.
dered by Mrs. Long, of North Caro-
lima, former. classmate of the bride,
and the two ushers-Dr. Fred Williams
and Mr.. James Glenn-entered. Then
came Miss Hulda McNeel, maid of
honor, with Rev. Jos. Dendy, brother
of the groom, as best man. Two
sweet demure little girls-Margaret
Williford and Mabel Ashe-came next,
with their baskets, scattering roses,
followed by the graceful and stately
bride, on the arm of the happy groom.
The marriage ceremony was perform.
ed by Rev. w. G. Neville, pastor of
the First Presbyterian church of York
vile, and in his usual impressive and
happy manner he uttered the words
that made them husband and wife.
The scene was beautiful one, under
the soft pink glow of lamps and candles,
and the bridal party made q picture
not soon to be forgotten by those who
witnessed it. The bride was gowned
in beautiful modish costume of white
satin en- trainne with bridal veil, and
carrying a bouquet of BRIDES roses and
ferns, and looked typical bride. The
petite maid of honor was attired in q
filmy white organdy, trimmed in lace,
and carried bouquet of pink carna-
tions and ferns. The little flower girls
were sweet sprites in gauzy dresses of
white.
After many congratulations and
good wishes were showered upon the
happy couple, all repaired to the din
ing room, where elegant and dainty re.
freshments were served. The pupils
in Mr.. Dendy's class room at school,
made pretty mattresses.

and the BRIDES table especially elici-

among US.
The bride is one of Yorkville's fair
est and most popular daughters, and
has host of friends here, where she
has lived all her life, and their best

china being in evidence, together with
