A Chrysanthemum Wedding.

A prominent and fashionable assemblage
centered at high noon yesterday in Christ
Episcopal Church, this town, to witness the
nuptials Of Miss Julia Prout, one OF the most
popular ladies of the county, eldest daughter
of Judge John T. Vinson, and Mr.. George
Minor Anderson, third surviving son OF the
late Judge James Anderson, of this county,
one Of the younger members of the Rock
vile Bar, now an assistant in the Attorney
Generals Office, Washington.
The chancel and railing OF the church
were deliberately and exquisitely dressed
with choice white and yellow chrysanthe,
NUNS, and 30 artistically arranged as to
have their colors blend In poetic harmony.
A cord Of ribbon was drawn from wall 10
wall, intended to designate the space which
the members and many close friends at
home and abroad of two of Montgomery's
time-honored families were to occupy.
AS the noon time waxed, the golden rays
of an Autumn's sun streaming through the
stained glass windows Of many colors, bath
ing the beautiful edihce in voluptuous
light, whilst the tones of the organ, mingling
with the low rich melody OF the choir,
sweeter and softer than the whispers Of
Summers zephyr, the happy bridal couple
swept gracefully down the aisle to the front
of the chancel
The bride, Of brunette style of beauty,
with tresses of hair that seem to have caught
the glow OF FURNISHED chestnuts, and eyes
the calm brown depths of forest pools In
Autumn, was costumed In travelling suit
of dark blue broadcloth Of superb build
trimmed with white silk, and velvet hat
and gloves to correspond. In conventional
dress, an almost faultless physique, the
groom appeared splendid specimen of
rounded manhood.
The ceremony was performed by the rec
tor, Rev. Thomas J. Packard, In most i'm.
pressive manner, and with the announce
ment,"I pronounce you man and wife"
not one in the large gathering but felt that
marriage was that golden period In life
where woman stoops to gather hopes to
blossom, and doubtless all expressed the sin
cere wish that none would ever wither on
the breast of the fair bride.
The ushers for the occasion were Messrs.
Bowie Vinson and j. Abby Henderson, Of
Rockville; Alfred Griffith, of Baltimore,
and Mr., Tanner, of Washington City.
The presents were numerous and costly.
After the ceremony the wedding couple,
with a number of relatives, halted at the
parental residence Of the bride and partook
of breakfast Thence the little bark, Like
a painted ship upon painted ocean" went
out on the great voyage of life. May it
have bright skies, It's sails famed by gentle
breezes and waited DER laughing waters,
lie our most earnest hope.

1t has become my painful duty to submit
brief tribute to the memory OF good citi-
zen-Jetson L. Granger, who died November
!, 1901, in bright hope of eternal life. He
was the third son of the late William Granger
and Mrs. A. NJ. 0futt, who resided about
three miles south Of Rockville.
In his sick ness all earthly aid was brought
into reQuisition to stay the grasp Of death,
but proved of no avail. Eminent physicians,
kind and loving mother, sisters and brother
and numerous friends minstered to his
wants during his brief but severe illness
In all OF his suffering he was kind aud
good, consderate Of others and unmindful Of
self. As son he was faithful, devoted and
atfectionate. Only few days before he died
he said
" Mother, would like to stay with you a
while longer to protect you la the many
trials of this lie, but | cannot stay; it Is
Gods will, and must be resigned"
He spoke without sign OF impotence.
Knowing his duty, he performed it well. In
the midst of trials he was beyond the aver
age Christian, and was always bright and
cheerful. Under every cloud he was sure TO
find a silver lining.
In this sad bereavement we are again fore
IDLY reminded of the frail'y of human life,
the vanity OF earthly things, and find a SOL
emn warning that we, too, are mortals and
must die.
The community in which he resided has
lost one Of its most prominent and respected
citizens, society one Of its brightest Orna-
ments, and the church one of its most zeal
Gus and efficient members. He was also
A valued and useful member OF the choir, oil
both st. Marys Catholic Church, Rockville,
and st. Gabriel's, Potomac, for ten years
While his voice is stilled and his place Is va
cant here, we hope he is a sanity member oil
the choirs in heaven.
His death has cast gloon over a large
circle OF friends and relatives; 1t has left an
aching void this world can never Gil. The
echoes OF the past 10 the halls OF memory
alone bring back TO as the touch Of love and
the word OF affection, and then, in our lone
illness, we are forced to cry out:
80 for the touch of a vanished hand,
The sound ola voice that is stilled i''
1t IL often said, and truly so in this case
death loves a shining mark. Whilst we weeE
and grieve and mourn that he is gone TO th'
tomb, yet we sorrow not as those having nc
hope Blessed are those who believe, tina
have not seen, for those who believe in JesuI
shall be saved. Knowing full well that III,
icy hand of death was upon him, he called
his weeping loved ones around his bed and
gave them every assurance that he was en-
tering upon q blissful eternity that all wa'
bright beyond, and be would soon join the
loved ones that had gone before.
His remains we're inferred 10 the cemetery
adjoining the Catholic Church, Rockville
with High Requiem Mass. He leaves mother
FIVE sisters and brother 10 mourn their loss
Let the heart be soft, forgiving
When the day is done,
Let no malice still be cherished
When the light is gone.
Ere night draws her somber curtain
Der the earth above,
Let each erring heart be certain
Offorgiving love.

With grief too great to tell,
We come and with our breaking hearts
Bid thee loving last farewell
