The weather .copditions Were per-

4 ruff, who scattered posies in their
\ path'', PASSED down the aisle and
4 out to carriage in waiting and
4 were driven to the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Watts, where a light lunch was
partaken Of and the necessa aGy
changes of toilet n2ade to enshlle
them to take the I:l9 southbeERd
train to Meridian, from whence they
expect to take an extended wedding
trip to points of interest in the nos'ti
which viii. probably include Niagara
and the Thousand Islands.
AS to the costume of the bride, the
editor Of this paper asked a number
of ladies the name OF the material
ard failed to get it; all united in
saying, however, that it was most
becomipgly made and gracefully
worn, and that the yearer thereof
was as fair and sweet June bride
as one could wish to lsok upon. The
other ladies Of the party Were also
most tastsf4lly gowned. The gEaam
and the gentlemen in attendaRce
wore the conventional black.
MIR. and Mrs. Nicholson are two of
the best known and most pop4la
Young people of this section The
handsome and accomplished bride
is the Youngest daughter of the late
james H. Duke, and in Scooba So
cial and church CIRCLES has filed q
prominent and enviable part; she
is fair of person, of exceptional men-
tai abilities, and possesses q moral
] ideal that does honor to the training
of as sainted woman as we have
ever been fortunate enough to call
"friend"-altogether a Young Wo-
man whom any man should be proud
to have won for a life-companion.
Howard Nicholson is, we believe, a
gentieman-mentally, morally, and
physically; we do not think wd1tls
could add to this estimate of a
Young mans character,
The number who were at the NJ. &
@. station to see them off and wish
them God-speed, Yesterday, and the
amount of rice which was scattered
promiscuously thereabout, gave full
evidence of their popularity; to the
good wishes there expressed we add
our own-that their future may be
prosperous. and that thev may ems
joy u long and happy life Of connu-
bial fellowship together.
In addition to those mentioned,
there was present, from out of.town,
at the wedding, Mrs. j. A. Watts
and Miss Marguerite Ormond, of
Meridian. Misses Mary Wiggins<and
Erin Shamburger and Messrs. Henry
and Thomas Wiggins, of Cuba, Ala.
