One Dollar a Year
MARRIED IN DENMARK.
The Beautiful Wedding Of Miss Ethel GwendoIyn
Rice and Mr.. Will Arthur Salters in the
Methodist Church.
DENMARK, June PA beautiful we'd
ding was celebrated at the Methodist
church here Wednesday evening at $50
o'clock. The contracting parties were
Mr.. Will Arthur Salters, q conductor of
the Seaboard Air Line system, and now
residing at Raleigh, N. c., and Miss Ethel
Gwendolyn Rice, daughter of b. G. Rice,
a prominent merchant of this place. Miss
Rice is popular young lady. She has
always enjoyed the very best advantages
of social influence and is loved by her
host of friends.
The church was tastefully decorated.
Down the middle aisle were erected at
regular intervals gorgeous arches of flow
ers and just in front Of the chancel stood
larger arch, from the centre of which
hung large bell made of flowers and
evergreens artistically interviewer, q very
clever piece of work, and as 8 whole q
scene of beauty. Within the church, and
extending toward the right and the left
was in view veritable bower of ever
greens, flowers and hot house plants, care
fully arranged. The novel scene, so diff
ferent from all other decorations on past
similar occasions, presented beautiful
panorama to the enchanted audience as
the lights were turned on. The beautiful
tints of the fresh hydrangeas, the pre-
dominating flowers, harmonized 80 splen-
didly with the variegated colors that shad-
owed here and there in festoons of artful
blendiqgs with white and green back
grounds.
Mrs. William L. Riley rendered the
music. With the beginning Of the sweet,
tender notes falling with such penetrating
pathos upon an audience so deeply in sym
pathy with the happy occasion and its
participants, the ushers, Messrs Wade 81.
Faust with A. NJ. High, Messrs Will E.
Osteen with Will A. Cole, filed down left
and right aisles respectively, and their
positions as appointed, followed by two
ribbon girls, Misses Edith Rice and
Gedelle Brabham, down the archway Of
the centre, thus connecting each interval
of the archwork, presenting the whole at
once as composite path that widened as
they unwound their ribbon. The brides
maids, all dressed in white silk, made
their appearance at this juncture, keeping
perfect time with the leading music, fled
to their places. Misses Estelle Guess,
Roberta Reed, Margarite Steadman and
Nettie Mae Rice served their bridal friend
in this capacity. Then the groom came
in, accompanied by his friend and best
man, Mr. Tom Milan, of Raleigh N. c.,
and stopped just in front Of the arch bear
ing the burden of the beautiful bell, whose
chimes were now silent to await the COM
ing of the beautiful bride, dressed in cream
silkaline over white taffeta silk, on thearm
of her youngest sister, Miss Ramielle
This accomplished, the groom accom-
panied the bride to the altar, where they
were made man and wife in very inn
pressive ceremony, by the Rev. E. b.
Beckham, while still the low, vibrating
notes Of music could be scarcely heard
The party retired in the reverse order
of entrance, and repaired to the home of
the brides father, where large number
of invited guests extended their warm
congratulations. Several happy hours
were spent. 1t was companionship, un-
broken friendship, around the festal board
for the last time. The old home, with it's
true father, three more daughters and
childhood's happy goodbye greetings Of
friends, mingled there together to pay
homage to the handsome groom and his
beautiful bride. Mr.. Salters is the third
son-in.law and significantly like Others
taking this title before him, his name is
will"
The refreshments were served out in
the long piazza on the south side of the
home under the inspiring lights from
swinging Japanese lanterns.
The wedding gifts were many, useful
and nrettv. A true index of the pOpu.
larity of the couple.
MI. Salters and his wife left early
Thursday morning for their future home
in Raleigh, N. G..
