THE BOYD..CALLAS WEDDING.
A Brilliant Social Function-Bride and Groom
Recipients Of Many Presents.

Newry, May 19.-Editors Courier: 1t
was on Wednesday evening, May ii,
1902, in the Newry Hall, richly decorated
and brilliantly illuminated, we had the
pleasure of witnessing one of the most
beautiful marriages that ever occurred
at Newry. All nature seemed to smile
on this happy occasion, for it was a
lovely evening indeed.
A little before o'clock the ushers,
Messrs. Fred. Unger, j. ID. Whitmire,
Lee Chandler and S. Luther Richardson,
of Seneca, had most of the immense
throng comfortably seated. Or the arr,
of Mr.. Fred. Unger The Baptist minister
from Seneca, Rev. John II. Moore, was
escorted to the altar. Soon thereafter
the bride and groom, with all their at
tendants and two little flower girls, ar
rived in the hall. Being near the hour
for the consummation of this happy
occasion, Mrs. Fred. Ungcr, seated at
the organ, began to play the wedding
march. The two little flower girls,
Odessa Boggs and Edith Lindsey, passed
down the aisles to a station near the
altar, where, under two beautiful arches,
they opened the gates for the reception
of the bride and groom and attendants.
The attendants marched down the asles
and took their places at the altar in the
following order: Mr.. Wood u. Whit
mire and Miss Anna Porter; Mr.. Charley
Knox and Miss Efiie Kilburn Mr.. Styles
Barron and Miss Monta Knox. This
part of the occasion being so nicely car
ried out, the bride and groom entered,
the bride leaning on the arm of her sis
ter, Miss Ida Callas, and the groom lean
ing on tho arm of his best man, Mr.. j.
Earle Harper, and stood before the altar
beneath a beautiful arch, from which
swung beautiful monogram in the
shape of heart, with the appropriate
lnf - ,,,tn \ ~
best order and due attention on the part
of the large assemblage present, the min
lister came forward, and in a solemn and
impressive manner pronounced them
man and wife, with tho sacred invoca-
tion that the union just formed would
be happy one, and that their guiding
star through life would be the religion
of our blessed Saviour
The contracting parties were Mr.
Robert Harrison Boyd, son of Major
j. L.. Boyd, who is now in the employ of
the Newry Store, under the management
of Mr.. Ashmead Courtenay. The bride
is daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. n. S. Cal
las, and splendid lady, too. The bride
and groom are both of Newry.
Now as to the attire of the contracting
parties and the attendants: We must
confess that as we are not prince dry
goods and notion merchant we are at a
loss to give names and kinds of goods of
which the different attires and dresses
were made, but suffice it to say that all
were nicely dressed and would have
done our cities credit.
The popularity of the bride and groom
was attested by the many useful and
beautiful presents given them, the i'm
mense crowd that witnessed their mar
riage, and the hearty congratulations
they received, all combined to make it
one of the incest weddings your scribe
has ever seen at Newry. So, with best
wishes for them, and that their path
through life may be thickly strewn with
the olive branch of peace, we leave them
with loves honeymoon. II.
