 Nothing that has occurred this fall has occasioned as much general interest as the marriage of Miss Olive Barker. daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Prelate D. Barker, to MT. Edward Murphy Robinson which event took place this evening in the St. Francis Street Methodist Church. The prominence of the brilliant groom, Mobiles silver-tongued, magnetic young orator and politician, and the personal attractions of the bride, united to the popularity and wide circle of friends pos sessed by both, caused their marriage to be surrounded by more than the ordi- nary glamour that accompanies the cul- imitation of every true love affair.
 Half past eight was the hour set for the wedding, but long before, the church was filled with a throng of friends, the pretty evening toilets of the women add ing the finishing touch to the scene.
 The decorations were white and green, mammoth white chrysanthemums, palms and ferns, arranged effectively by Miss Maria Mlnge. At a little after the ap- pointed hour, the choir, composed of Mrs M. D. wickersham, Mrs. Tam, MT. Thom- as Holliwell and MT. Robert Taylor, be- gan Lohengrins we'll known and we'll loved bridal chorus, and all eyes turned to greet the wedding party. First came the ushers, Messrs. James H. Webb, George A. Robinson, R. A. Sadler. F. J. Inge, Jules E. Afford, John W. McAlpine, R. V. duMont and J. T. He1in of Mont gomery. Then the groomsmen and brides maids, two and two. Messrs. G. B. Thom- as, G. D. Aunspaugh. Albert Bush, Or vile Cawthon and Misses Jessie Whiting. May Ce Robinson. Grace Bestor and Sa- rah Bush. These young ladies were gowned in white, every dress different in design and material, and each carried a gorgeous cluster of American Beauty roses.
 Mrs. Harry L. Pettus, sister of the bride, and matron of honor, came next in a soft clinging gown of white. with American Beauty roses. and after her, the bride, with her father. advanced to the altar, where MT. Robinson, with his best man. MT. A. c. Harte. awaited her. The brides gown was exquisite. a French creation of white lace over moire, heavy enough to stand alone. The corsage was cut low with short sleeves, and with 1t she wore a tulle veil and carried bou- quet of white carnations.
 A reception at the Battle House fol- lowed the ceremony. The parlor being too small to accommodate the large number of guests the big dining room was con- verted into a reception room and here the bride and groom received enough EOO0 wishes ana COiB NO start them well on the journey of their new life. In a smaller room, more substantial tokens of good wishes were exhibited in the form of exquisite presents of every size, shape and design.
 MT. and Mrs. Robinson left at midnight for the West. and will spend their hon. eymoon in California and other places.
