ed at Eufaula.
 Eufaula, June 6.-(Special. )-This morning at the First Methodist Church here Miss Marie Blair of this city and Dr. Herbert J. Bernham of Charleston, s. C., were the parties to one of the most interesting and beautiful wed- dings ever solemnized in the city. The decorations were exquisite and the scene about the altar was all that skillful hands could make 1t. Palms and ferns intermingled with potted plants formed a background of rare verdure for the color scheme of pink and white which was most tastefully carried out in a great profusion of rarest roses and hydrangeas that filled the air with breaths of sweetest fra grance.
 The ceremony was pronounced by Rev. Henry Johnson. pastor of the church, in touching and impressive way. while soft sweet music breathed pleasing inspiration. The bride was arrayed in an extremely handsome travelling gown of heavy green taffeta with trimmings of terracotta and lace embellished with a Polo Turban of green made after a smart fashion and most beautiful and becoming. Miss Edith Burnnham. sister of the groom, the maid of honor. was gowned in an exquisite costume of white silk and carried carnations. The bridesmaids were Misses Helen Dent. Susie McKen- zie, Natalie Chimney of Waynesboro, Ga. and Loise Burnham of Charleston, s. C.. all of whom wore gowns of Japa- nese silk with pink girldes and carried pink carnations. There were four lit- tie ribbon girls. Misses Ossie and Edna Blair. Mary Ramser and Annie Laurie Crawford who were extremely pretty in costumes of accordeon pleated lace trimmed silk. and white Charlotte Corday hats. Master Charlie Blair was the ring bearer and was daintily clad in a white suit with white hose and shoes to match and preceded the bride as she marched down the long aisle.
 A choir made up of the citys best voices sang the bridal chorus from '"The Rose Maiden" after which the couples came down the aisles. During the oc- casion Miss Mary Foy also rendered a pleasing solo entitled Because" with most perfect modulation and great ef- feet. A. T. Simmons of Charleston was best man and the following were the groomsmen: A. J. Clayton. P. A. Sapp, E. H. Dantzler and J. F. McTyer. The bride was given away by her uncle. Luther c.
