Fritter, who were formerly residents
of Lewiston and one of the brides

ton Of the event, which will be read
with interest by many friends of the
family living in Lewiston:
One of the most beautiful weddings
that has ever taken place in the state
was solemnized at the home of the
brides parents in Jackson, Ala,
Thursday, August 15,when Miss
Gladys Wise Fritter. the only daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. William Clarke
Fritter, plighted her troth to Mr.. Jo-
siah Carney Hicks, Of st. Stephens,
Ala, the beautiful ceremony taking
place at the family home, which is
noted all through Alabama for it's
gracious hospitality.
The home was profusely decorated
with bamboos, smilax and ferns,
which gave it a most cool and invit-
ing appearance, and the wedding
ceremony was performed in the big,
wide hall, which runs it's entire length.
An altar was erected at one end of the
hall and covered with bamboo and
the aisle leading to it was marked
/ off by white ribbons. Directly In front
of the altar there was a slender green
arch of the trailing bamboo under
which the young couple stood to ex-
change their marriage vows, the we'd
ding ceremony being performed by
Rev. c. B. Mcleod, of Jackson, as
sisted by Rev. Northcutt of Coffee
willie, Ala, a fraternity brother of the
groom.
The walls of the hall were nearly
entirely covered with bamboo, and tall
vases of rich flowers filled the air
with their fragrance, while softened
lights enhanced the beauty of the
scene and of the bridal party.

entertainments in Mobile. sang sweet
! ly both before and during the cere-
mony.
The color tone of the decorations
was white and green, but in the
| dresses of the bridal party the tints Of
the rainbow were blended.
Miss F'ritter was the daintiest,
sweetest bride, and in her youth and
beauty, which is of the Irish type
somewhat, with warm brown hair,
eyes to match and very clear tinted
complexion, in her bridal robes of
white chiffon over taffeta, with the
beautiful straight lines of the princess
effect, all trimmed in lace and hand
embroidered medallions, and the
bridal veil surmounted by the wreath
of orange blossoms, she looked like
some dainty creature-not of the
earth, earthly.
She was married on her great
grandmother's one hundredth birth
day, and was given away by her
father, Mr.. William Clarke F'ritter.
The bridal party, which was large
one, consisted of Mss Annie Walker
of Pensacola, who wore a beautiful
princess gown of yellow taffeta silk,
and who came with Mr.. Joe Granada
! of st. stephens.

quets of white asters, tied with
streamers of white tulle and the bride
carried an exquisite bouquet of brides
roses.
After the ceremony the bride and
her maids cut the wedding cake,
which contained the thimble, the dime
and the ring. Delicious refreshments
were served and the cooling punch
bowl on the broad veranda was pre-
sided over by Mrs. A. F. Storm and
Mrs. Skipwith Coale, and the dining
room, where the brides table was
