John Christopher Hanway, of Green
Vile, Miss. Rev. Father Harrington
and Rev Father Carroll read the mar
rage services, the church being taxed
to its capacity to accommodate the
guests at the ceremony
Unusually pretty floral decorations
marked the occasion, masses of tow
ering palms against background of
spreading sfnilax were offset by great
clusters of la Frances roses in the
altar vases Wide sashes of white
satin ribbon inclosed the pews and
special seats set aside for relatives

was the solo, "a Song of Thanks
giving" by Mr. Donald Edmonds,
