A lovelier form or fairer face
The handsome groom, Mr.. Pittman.
whom everyone knows, is to be heartily
congratulated upon winning such a
charming life companion.
The Methodist church never present
ed scene of more dazzling beauty,
with its myriad lights and exquisite
floral decorations. The wedding scene
was a picture of loneliness as the lady
attendants, Misses Minnie John Will
liams, Mamie Goode and Deanie
Noyes, exquisitely attired in white or
CANDY with satin trimmings, entered
the sanctuary, and beautiful indeed
were they as they stood within the
chancel
The bride, elegantly gowned in white
French silk mousselline, attended by
her maid of honor, Miss Rosalind
Smith, attired in lovely pink organ
dy, approached the altar from the west
door and was joined by the groom and
his best man, Mr.. John Wooten,
The groomsmen, Messrs. j. M.
Smith, w. A. Wooten and G. w, Pitt
man, who were in waiting within the
chancel, were joined by the ushers,
Messrs. Charles Willis, Lee Hansford,
John w. SILVER, z. S. Childers and L.
G.. Mckinney, which completed the
handsome wedding party.
The Amerlcus Light Infantry, of
which Mr.. Pittman was gallant mem
ber came as a special escort to their
comrade on his wedding eve, and in
their full dress uniform lent an inpir-
ing addition to the already perfect
wedding circle.
The bride and groom stood beneath
magnificent floral arch, and midst the
strains of Mendelssohn's wedding
march, rendered by Mrs. Julia Everett,
the ceremony was impressively per-
formed by Rev, w. j. Noyes, father of
the bride, assisted by Rev. G. W.
Mathews, after which the bridal party
passed slowly along the aisles of the
crowded church and to the home of the
brides parents, where congratulations
were rendered.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pittman left by the
9:36 train for Washington. One of the
interesting features of this pretty we'd
ding was the beautiful solo Because
[ Love You, Dear" rendered by Miss
Mary Cranberry prior to the ceremony.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pittman were the re-
cipients of many beautiful and costly
presents, the Knights of Pythias pres
enting an exquisite gift, as did the
Americas Light Infantry. No young
couple ever started life under more
cheering auspices, and all Americas
wishes Mr.. Pittman and his bonny
bride delightful wedding trip and a
safe return home.
