A beautiful evergreen wedding
was that of Rev. William Arthur
Fite and Miss Mary Lindsey Jones
which was solemnized at Somerset
Christian church, in this county,
Wednesday, Dec. %, 1901, at high
noon. At an early hour the bri-
dial party, relatives and intimate
friends of the bride entered her
hospita BILE home, where they were
handsomely entertained at break
fast served in elegant style, after
which they drove to the church,
which was crowded to its utmost
capacity long before the hour for
the ceremony. The interior of the
building was artistically and hand
somely decorated with eyergreens.
In the alcove back of the altar
bank Of eyergreens rose to the
ceiling, while an arch from either
side of the altar met at the top
and supported a large florally dec
Grated bell. 10 the right and left
of the altar were evergreens and
all the decorations were artistical-
ly intermingled with pink and
white Chrysanthemums and nu-
merous candles in silver Candida
bra shed their soft lights on the
scene. The whole formed a bower
of loveliness. At ~ 30 o'clock
Miss Emily White was at her post
of duty ready to turn the music
for Miss Ida Goodpaster, who
most beautifully rendered the we'd
ding march; and as the sweet
strains pealed forth, the bridal
party entered the church by the
centre aisle and took their posi-

was tried before Judge Albert Ha-
zelrigg Friday for stealing fruit
from Cooper d Barnes and given 30
days in jail. His father told the
Judge that if he would let the boy
off he would give him good whip
ping. Judge Hazelrigg consented
TO this, with the proviso that Dep
uty Jailer Chas. Sledd should say
when the boy had enough. The boy
was taken to the back of the Jail, a
buggy whip purchased, and when
Charlie said stop-well, it was
enough.

The ceremony was performed by
b. w. Trimble. The occasion was
conspicuous for the contrast be-
tween this and some marriages of
which we read. There was no ret
inue of friends in gayest attire no
enchanting strains of Mendelssohn
fell upon the ear; no flowers added
charm to blushing bride no brides
maids bewitchingly gowned in
rainbow tints; no groomsmen in
conventional black drilled for the
event, impaired gloss or tinsel.
There was no craning Of necks to
see who came first; no disrespect-
full chatter and giggle; no mad
rush for the door Closed win
dows and waXen tapirs in silver
candelabra gave place to the cur
tain of night and one electric light.
Confding, respectful, loving and
modest, they promised to live to-
gether as God would have them
live. Thus they went forth alone
into the darkness of night, and
who can say that their united lives
and love may not be coveted by
those upon whom Fortune has Law
ished her bounty and enticed to
luxurious and hurtful ease. May
God guide and bless them.
