Ono of tho crowning events in the
social whirl of tho season took place i'm
Pickens last Sunday at the residence of
Rev. j. M. Stuart, the officiating minis
ter, in which Mr.. II. j. Mcdonald, of
Pickens, led to the hymenoal altar Miss
Eva Nalloy, of Easley. The ceremony
was witnessed by only the near relatives
and immediate friends of tho bride and
groom, and as tho minister uttered the
solemn words which made them one, tho
scene was, indeed, beautiful and inspir-
ing.
The bride is the beautiful and accom-.
plshed daughter of Mr.. w. w. II. Nalley,
of Easlcy, who, by her knowledge Of
duty and Christian fellowship towards
her follow beings, has won warm place
in tho hearts of all with whom she came
in contact.
Mr.. Mcdonald is a former resident of
Seneca, and holds tho position as fore
man of the Peoples Journal. He is an
upright, Christian gentleman and is
possessed of sterling qualities and worth.
We bespeak for the happy pair long
and prosperous journey over the sea of
life, uninterrupted by sorrows and dis
appointments.
