A GREAT SOCIAL EVENT.
Crystal Wedding Celebration of
Rev. and Mrs. W. N. Mcintosh.
At Grenada College on Monday Evening

Monday evening, November 1S,
1901, was the fifteenth anniversary of
the marriage Of Rev. and Mrs. w. NJ.
Mcintosh and the happy event was
celebrated by a crystal wedding. All
the details of regular marriage were
carried out, save the ceremony, which
was the one sacred event in the lives
of these two Christian people that
was by far too holy and too precious
to them with which to be tampered.
The darkness and gloom of the ev-
ening only enhanced the beauty of the
decorations which the loving hands of
the faculty and student body of Gre
NADIA College had made as elaborate as
possible, to testify their esteem of the
president and his wife. Never did
the old College appear in such bril-
liant attire; hall, parlors, staircase
and dining room made a picture that
would almost rival a Titanian court
in fairy-like beauty.
The guests began to arrive at the
appointed time; many were belated,
but what mattered it when all went
merry as a marriage bell?" At S:45
O'Clock the crimson damask curtains
behind the chapel platform were slow
ly parted by the two flower girls,
Misses Mcintosh and Richardson,
while the strains of the wedding
march floated softly through the chap
ell, like the clear sound of distant
bells. This was played by Miss jamie
Mcintosh, eldest daughter of the con-
tracing parties. A whisper Of ad-
miration ran through the aSsemblage
when the bride appeared leaning on
the arm of her husband. We doubt
if the bride of fifteen years agone
looked any lovlier. She was gowned
in white organdie with white satin
trimmings, an emblem of 1.-THE purity
of the soul which stood before the
gathered hosts of friends.
Rev. T. Y. Ramsey was at his best
and his well chosen remarks were elo-
quent, timely and to the point. At
ter the service the youngest daugh-
ters pulled apart the large chrysan-
themum globe, under which the hap
py pair stood, and a shower of rose
petals was the result. Friends crowd
ed about them to offer hearty con-
gratulations upon this auspicious Oc-
casion.
The guests then repaired to the Of
flee, which had been converted into a
bower of beauty with crimson hang
ings and cut flowers, to examine the
many exquisite presents of cut-glass,
Bohemian, bsque and other articles
corresponding to the occasion. The
display was dazzling in its sparkling
beauty, and atteSted the love and adj
miration to Mr.. and Mrs. Mcintosh
from their many friends in Grenada
and elsewhere. While there were sc
many presents it would require toe
much space to make mention of all,
we cannot refrain from mentioning an
exquisite cut-glass ice bowl from
Messrs. hampton, of Kentwood, La,
and celery set of cut-glass in a
handsome case, presented by the fac
ulty of Grenada College. After an
hour of social pleasure, the entire
party passed to the dining room which
was dream of beauty in green ano
yellow festoons, suspended from the
immense pillars, and each light was
subdued with the prevailing colors
and in every niche was seen an I'M
mense NJ. The repast was all thai
the ancient Romans could have de
sired when they were given to luxuri
|, Gus feasting. In the center OF th'
table, which was arranged in th'
form of maltese cross, was th'
brides cake; the dainty embossing re
minded one of the delicate tracery O
the Frost Kings pictures. After tn
, first course was served the editor o
the SENTINEL, who had been appoint
ed master of ceremonies, called OF
Hon. B. G. Adams to give toast 7
