" For this is the beautiful morning OF Love
| And you are his morning star.
oh heart are you strong enough 10 love
For the faith that walks through the glad
sunlight,
And over the storms and flowers?
Then the firm sweet answer, " | am, | VIII,
It'll / rest beneath the sod"
Was breathcd MS II covenant from earth to
heaven
And sealed in the heart Of God "
This was the solemn compact made by
| Miss Mantle Mc(iraw and DR.. Daniel
Naylor Garner, on the evening of Aug.
10th, at the home of the brides parents
| at Gholscn, Miss. The ceremony was
| performed by Rev. L. W, Spencer, of
Shuqualak, in the presence Of the rela.
tives of the contracting parties and a
few intimate friends.
That dignity and solemnity that one
associates with the marriage ceremony
characterized the union of these popu
lar young people, while quiet elegance
| was evident in every detail pertaining to
the occasion. In the hallway, parlor
and dining room were beautiful decora-
tons of palms, ferns and vases OF love
ly cut flowers in effective places, As
the guests approached the house they
were greeted by the soft radiance of the
Japanese lanterns which lighted the
lawn and vine clad porch, Promptly at
half past eight O'Clock Miss Laura Ruff
struck the first notes of Mendelssohn's
wedding march, and Immediately the
bride and groom, unattended, entered
the parlor and advanced to the center of
the room, where the impressive ceremc-
ny was said.
The bride was beautifully and taste
fully gowned in white silk, with trim
mings of real lace, Her only ornament
was a necklace of pearls. She carried
n bouquet of brides roses and maiden
hair ferns, and as she stood beside the
handsome groom one could not but be
impressed by the picture of happiness
and loveliness there portrayed. After
the ceremony and congratulations, ele-
gant refreshments were d~aintily served
in the beautifully decorated dining room
by Misses Mamie McGraw and Mabel
Ezell.
The bride. the second daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. d. w. McGraw. has since her
childhood been beloved by all those wi o
have known her, and she has impressed
them by her beauty of character. In
her bright face there is much that indi.
Gates her cultivated mind and her faith
in the heavenly Father, whom she has
delighted tc serve since her girl-hood.
"She beams on the sight,
Graceful ana fair like a being of light
S~cRtters around her wherever She strays
Roses of bliss on our thorn-covered ways,
Roses of Paradise fresh from above,
To he scattered and tWinpd in "A garden
of love.n
DR.. Garner, second son of Mr.. Mar
cel,us Garner. one of the most lnfluen~
tial men of Lauderdale county. stands
foremost among the young dentists Of
the country. He possesses those manly
qualities that insure him the respect Of
all who know him, and the affectionate
regard of those with whom he is associ
ated, either professionally or socially.
The popularity of these young people
was attested by the numerous presents,
consisting principally of cut glass and
silver.
DR.. and Mrs. Garner left the next day
on the moor train for a visit 10 his father
and other relatives. After a few days
they will leave for the Worlds Fair at
st. Louis. and will be at home to their
friends at West Point, Miss, after the

"Thus ii is our children leave us,
Those we love, and those who love us:
Comes a youth with Haunting feathers,
sWanders, piping, through the village,
. Beckons to the fairest maiden,
And she follows where he leads her
Leaving all things for the stranger"
