GOrdOn.Brockinton.

Seldom has there ever been a
wedding in B>s.stree that attracted
more Vi sr. IAN at
tS1ed the ceremony d here
y 'sterday, when Miss .iordon
" \united in marriage to MIR Sam
ue. ,.eels Brockinton. The bride is
the lest daughter of Mr. and Mrs
Alexander M Gordon, at whose ele-
CANT and hospitable home the wed
ding took place.
At 2 o'clock p m, in the presence
of q large assemblage gathered to
witness the interesting event, the
bridal couple entered the parlor to
the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding
march, played by Miss Lorena Ross,
and took their places before the
marriage altar. During the cere-
mony the Melody of Love" was
softly played with sweetness and
expression. There were no attend
ants. The solemn words, impress
lively spoken by the officiating minis
ter, Rev w A Fairy, pastor of,Kings-
tree Methodist church, were heard
with profound attention by the large
crowd of spectators, and at the con-
clusion of the ceremony all gathered
around the handsome young couple
and cordially wished them bon royage
as they glide down the stream of
welded life, on which they embarked
midst such favoring auspices.
In her beautiful gown of wistaria
silk, with gold net and passamenterie,
and carrying an exquisite bouquet
of brides roses and ferns, the fair
young bride was the cynosure of all
eyes, and on every hand were heard
encomiums upon hereoveliness.
Shortly after the ceremony the
guests were invited to the dining
rooms-it required two rooms to ac-
commodate the crowd, numbering
nearly one hundred people and
there was spread a wedding feast
that harked back to the lavish hos
pitality of ante-bellum days. The
brides cakes were especially beauti-
full with elaborate ornamentation.
Besides the town people there
were a number of out-of-town
guests who attended the wedding.
The guests were received by Miss
Martha Gordon, a sister of the
bride. The parlor and dining
were tastefully decorated with palms
and ferns.
The presents received were nu-
merous, valuable and beautiful. 1t
would be hard to imagine any appro-
pirate wedding gift that was not in
cluded in these tokens of love and
esteem from thoughtful friends.
The bride is the eldest daughter of
MIR and Mrs A M Gordon and is a
graduate of Winthrop College, class
of 'O8. Amiable, accomplished and
altogether worthy of esteem, Miss
Esther" endeared herself to all who
knew her and inKingstree society was
a prime favorite. The best wishes
of host of friends attend her all
through life. The groom is scion
of family that has always been
identified with the highest ideals of
our county's citizenship and the best
that we can wish him is that he may
prove worthy of his lovely bride.
He is now in the service of the A G
L railroad as baggage-master, with
headquarters at Florence.
