HICKORY GROVE, April Our little
town was the scene Of still another
wedding last Wednesday. The newly
finished Presbyterian church was used
for the solemnization of the marriage
of Mr.. Jesse Miller Moore, of Guthries-
vile, and Miss Matte Bell, of Hickory
Grove. Friends Of the bride had trans
formed the interior of the church into
"a thing of beauty" and to them Is due
the credit for the artistic decorations
that met the eye on entering the
church. Just in front Of the pulpit was
arranged a canopy, supported by four
columns. around which wound alter
nate stripes of pink and white, which
composed the color scheme for all the
decorations. Pink and white ribbons
were attached to the top Of the COL
umns and were carried to the centre.
where they were caught just beneath
a swinging lamp, with pink and white
shade, from which they hung in grace
full festoons. Just in front of the lamp
was arranged a Good Luck" horse
shoe, covered with white flowers on
one side, and pink cloth on the other,
and studded with tiny pink candles.
In the rear, on the pulpit rostrum and
on the organ, hot house plants were
disposed, and candles so placed that,
when lighted they gave charming eff
feet to the entire scene.
When the hour for the performance
of the ceremony arrived, MeSSrs. Ar
chic Linley and Lucius Marion lit the
candles, and the bridal party entered
stepping to the music Of Mendehlson's
ever inspiring Wedding March, skill
fully rendered by Prof. Warth at the
organ and Mr.. Frank with the violin.
First down the aisles, carpeted with
pink and white. came Messrs. j. W..
Linley and E. F. Bell, Jr, taking po-
sitions under the canopy, on opposite
sides. These were followed by Messrs.
Leon Moore and Fred Bell, who also
took positions under the canopy, leav-
ing space for the bridesmaids, who
came next-Misses Minnie Neil and Eu
nice Simpson. These young ladies
were attired in pink gowns and carried
lighted candles, similar to those used
in the decorations. They stood be-
tween the ushers, who had preceded
them. Next came Misses Lois Simpson
and Mary Marion. who took places by
Messrs. Moore and Fred Bell. They
also wore pink and carried candles
Two charming little flower girls in
white. Misses Emily and Eva Wylie,
now came scattering violets along the
way from their dainty baskets. Fol-
lowing them were the bride and her
maid of honor, Miss Jessie Neil. on one
side. and the groom with his best man,
Mr.. Theodore Moore, on the other.
The maid Of honor wore white organ
die. and carried pink hyacinths. The
bride was gowned in white six null
and bridal veil, and carried white car
nations. All the ladies wore white
gloves. as did the groomsmen, who
wore the regulation black suits and
patent leather shoes.
The bride and groom met before Rev.
J. P. Marion, who made them one,
using an impressive, though simple
ceremony. Then the wedding partyleft
the church. as the tones of the we'd
ding march pealed forth, and repaired
to the home of the brides parents,
where a pleasant reception was held.
