THE EYFNT OF LAST WEEK.

THE EVENT OF LAST WEEK.
Two weeks ago we announced that
Miss Jennie Chapman and DIR, BeesOn,
of Wauchula, Florida, would be married
on the l4th. The contracting parties
survived the intervening time, there
was no "slip between the cup and the
lip, and the wedding at the Presby-
terrain church at the day and hour pre-
viously announced, was the event of
the week.
There were no formal invitations, all
the brides many friends were gener-
ally invited, aud the house was filled;
for during her residence here of one
and one-half years, her activities in
society, in church and Sunday school,
have won the hearts of our good people
and;it would be hard to find person in
this vicinity having more friends than
Jennie Chapman.
The groom's attendants were w. B.
King. f. z. Dozier, Jas. Diamond and
w. K. Fowler. The maids, all arrayed
in picture hats, were Miss Fila Beeson,
sister of the bridegroom, and Mrs. NJ.
c. Rush, sister Of the bride, Miss Eliza.
beth Waddill, Miss Lillian Smith, Miss
Bessie Kendrick. Miss Julia Watkins,
Miss Jimmy Rice and Grace KOontz
The bridesmaids were all earned"
with white and pink hollyhocks, and
white crepe rice bags, the latter being
indispensable weapon on such an oc.
casion.
At the appointed time Mrs. Halle
Ward, who was completely hidden be-
hind bank of flowers and evergreens
on the organ platform, sang a beauti-
full solo, poem from Ben Hur, Wake
Not, But Hear Me Love-" At the
conclusion Of the song, Mrs. Ward
played Longhren's Wedding March and
the wedding party filed in.
Rev. T. Hopping, in an impressive
and pleasing manner performed the
ceremony, after which there was a
a brief reception in the vestibule where
rice was in evidence, and then the
party started for the Golden State
Limited train which was to carry them
toward their Florida home. A host OF
jolly friends were at the train, and
there was another shower or rather
downpour of rice. Their trunks and
dress suit cases had been cared for by
friends, the cases decke1 with initials
of both bride and groom, with hearts
united, all Of rice, and their trunks
COY cred with bows of pink and white,
while from every strap dangled an old
shoe.
The bride carried boquet Of white
carnations which she threw from the
the car window as the train rolled away
from the station, which was caught By
the lucky G. G. who will "soon be q
BRIDE" and we trust as happy as she
who threw the flowers from the
window
