The Conway log cabin., 1901-04-23
Ligon-Gist.

A more magnificent home we'd ding was never seen in Conway than the one OH Wednesday even- ing, April r, celebrating the mar riage of Miss Lulu Gist, daughter of Mrs. s. E. Gist, and Mir. James Madison Ligon, of Abilene, Texas.
 The beautiful and artistic home of Mrs. Gist was decorated with elaborate care, the parlor being es- pecially beautiful. Tall vases filled with white carnations were on the piano. The bay window where the bridal couple stood was banked on each side with palms and cut flow CTS, long trailing vines festooned the airy lace curtains and wrought wondrous beauty with their grace ful tendrils. At nine o'clock the sweet strains of Mendelssohn 5
 
 grand wedding march played by Miss Georgia Hardin, announced the coming of the bridal party. Messrs. Addison Paine, of this city, and Charles Brooks, ot Benton, who were the ushers, entered first, then the bride and groom. They were met by Rev. A. (. Millar, president of Hendrix College, who said the solemn marriage service which linked in happy union these two devoted hearts. The bride was a rare vision of grace and beauty as she stood i'll her snowy white bridal robe, which was a creation of exquisite design, made of organdy over silk ell traine rich lv garnished with handsome lace, the whole enveloped ill the soft and shimmering folds of the bridal veil which covered 1t like mist. She wore no ornaments, but car ried all arm boquet of bride roses. Those who know and love Miss Lulu we'll, never saw her more ra- diantly beautiful than upon this occasion. The groom wore full evening dress suit of black and seemed proudly conscious of the treasure he had won.
 After the ceremony and the re- ceiving of congratulations, the guests were invited into the dining room where elegant refreshments ill three courses were served. The dining room was very picturesque with it's lovely decorations. The mantle was a mass of green with here and there bright blossoms peeping out from the leafy back ground. The table was covered with snowy damask, the center piece magnificent palm, cut flow CTS i'll graceful profusion were scat tered lightly over the table. From the chandelier overhead streamers of pink and white ribbon were sus- pended and caught at each of the four corners of the table i'll bow knots. The refreshments were served from buffet. Alter each guest was served, the brides cake was placed on the table, and the young folks cut for the dime that was hidden ill 1t. Miss Georgia Hardin was the lucky one in find ing the dime and also in catching the rose which the bride threw among her young lady friends.
 Miss Lulu is bright and popu- lar young lady and will be greatly missed from the social circles oi this city. She is daughter of the late J. c. Gist,. who was for years one of the leading business men oi Conway. MT. Ligon is a promi- nent young business man of Abi- lene, Texas. After spending a few days with the brides mother, Mrs. s. E.. Gist, the happy couple will leave for Pittsburg and Dallas, Texas, where they will visit rela- tives, and will be at home i'll Abi- lene after May 5. They go to their home followed by the best wishes of a host of friends.
