The Lexington Dispatch.
Wednesday. April 5. 1905.
Mocgan-cginl Wedding.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

It is with a deep sense OF my in
ability to chronicle the scene wit
messed by the writer on the 26sh
of March, 1905, at the home Of Mr.
J. West Grim The day was an
ideal one for March. As old Sol
peeped over the eastern hills with a
somewhat crimson face-s foretoken
of wind-shed his golden rays on
world beautiful and grand to behold.
The diamond like dew drops sparkled
in the early morning sun, soft,
gentle breeze blew from the south
which famed the rosy cheeks OF
those who wended their way to
church, Sunday school and to the
wedding. The feathered tribe o.
the forest sang their chirping songs
of praise to the great God who gave
them being. Uoder such scenes and
circumstances, MIR. and Mrs. Par
diggle were never more happy in
their puptial bower" than Billy was
as be iourneyed along to the mar
riage feast in company with the de-
voted Mrs. Felix. We made the &C.
quaintence OF new friends and warm
~ shook tbe hands of old ones.
Our mission was happy one, be-
ing to oficiate at the marriage cere-
mony of Miss Lilly May, the charm
ing daughter of Mr.. and Mrs: J
West Grim to Mr.. E Thomas Ever
cite Morgan, of Columbia. On ar
irving at our destination We found
the beautiful parlor tastefully and
artistically dressed by fair hands
of loved ones. A number Of relatives
and special friends had been invited
and we're sitting and standing
around chatting socially when the
hour arrived which was to mark the
turning point in the lives OF two
young, tender and loving hearts.
The procession to the marriage altar
waa led by Mr.. Joseph c. Grim, elder
brother to the bride, with Miss Be-
atrice R1cker, followed by the hand
some groom and lovely bride, Mr..
E. Thomas E7ere,te Morgan and
Miss Lille May Grim, end faced Rev.
". B Fsllaw, who performed the mar
riase ceremony, thus making them
man and wife. Then came that part
in which all could take part in and
they did it and did it we'll. You
may talk about your hotel menus and
your campaign cues. You may talk
about your May picnics, and all
.'sich::, but the feast of good things
placed before Us there in the beautl-
ful home of Mr.. and Mrs. J. West
Grim was enough to tempt the ap-
petite of the most dyspeptic and
satisfy the inward cravings of the
most voracious. All psrtook heartily
and Billy was loath to leave when he
espied sn abundance of cakes and
nice things in another room. Mr..
Editor, you just ought to have been
there. Metninks your general ap-
pearsnce after dinner would have
been somewhat shaped like your old
leather purse was when you returned
last fall after the chase OF the dues
for the good old Dispatch.
Mr.. Morgan is an industrious
young man formerly from Oconee,
but now on the police force in
Columbia. Miss Lille is the elder
daughter of our esteemed friend and
fellow countryman, J. West Grim.
They will make their home in the
Capital City. Lezington's lost Is
Columbia's gain.
It is pleasure to be in the home
of Mr.. Grim. He is carpenter by
trade, but knows something ahous
farming. Ee has built lovely two
story cottage, which is attractive,
neat and comfortable. he has in
telligent and up-to-date methods of
farming, and the cotton ne has on
hand for better prices shows that be
is up-to-date in the latest improve
ments in farming and lives at home
independent of the present prices of
cotton. he is not ignorant of horti-
culture either. Mr.. Editor if you
could see his fine cabbage you would
agree with me.
The happy couple, in company
with friends and loved ones, left for
Swansea, where they took the train
tor their future home, carrying with
them the best wishes of friends for
roses all along life's pathway.
