 Linden, Dec. 6.-(SpeciaD-Linden Wa the scene Thursday night of one or the most brilliant weddings that has occur red in a long, long time. One or the prettiest, brightest and most accom- plished young ladies, Miss Ida Rhee Kim brough, was married to one Of Linden most successful young business men, Earl Elmo Cobb
 The attendants the active participa- tion of friends of the Kimbrough family and the universal interest of the whole community gave an attraction to It that touched very many hearts and families outside this community. The many valua- able presents were the expression or only a small part of the love and blessings that centered on the young pair.
 The immediate ceremony was striking in the whole design and beauty and general air of distinction of those who took part.
 As the ushers, Messrs. Schwarz and Triggs, started up the aisles. the organ under the skill of Mrs. David Prowell of Dayton, pealed forth in thrilling notes of welcome, continuing until the bridal pair stood in front of the minister. Fol- lowing came at appropriate instances Misses Bertha Cooper and Florence Crenshaw up one aisle and Misses Ida Bell George and Rosa Glass. up the other, followed by Messrs. Kirvin and Marshall up one aisle and Messrs. Hendricks and Kimbrough up the other. These attend- ing maids of honor meeting and passing each other in front of the altar, passed around and took positions behind the min ister, facing the audience. The young men, meeting and passing each other | in front of the altar, stopped between | the altar and side pews, facing the young | ladies.
 As these were taking their positions up | one aisle approached the little flower | girl. stopping between the altar and the front pews on the right of the minister. while up the other aisle came another little maid carrying the ring on large silver waiter and took her position on the | left of the minister between the altar and the front pews.
 | As these little maids were taking their l positions up one aisle came the beauti- | ful bride on the arm of her cousin, the l maid ot honor, Miss Varina George. beautiful enough to be another bride while up the other aisle came the hand some. manly groom, on the arm of his best man, Dr. Nichols, rising young physician of Jackson. l As the bridal pair stood in front of tht man of God, now to take upon them. selves the solemn, tender vows that made them one for life, there was momentary pause in the music and momentary rest in the breathing of the whole congrega- tion as if all in sympathy with the happy young couple, would start afresh witf them. The ceremony was beautifully per formed by the Rev. J, c. Duncan of the Presbyterian Church, with the Presby terian service and ring. The bridesmaid were dressed in rainbow colors.
 In simple justice to the cultivated voice of our young teacher, MT. Schaffer, ant to the skill of the accomplished organist Mrs. David Prowell, It ought to be add ed that the tedium of waiting was mos happily endured by the audience in lis tening to a music that would have don' credit to an exacting assembly.
 The lovely residences of Judge s. P Prowell. C. B. Bailey and James M. Mil Ter in New Linden and w. l.. Brasfield' two cottages and Joseph Bailey's cottag in the old town will all be completed in short time and will be ornaments to tn, place.
 The oil mill Is in full working ordel and now Linden can get meal and hull! without going eighteen miles to Demop oils for them.
