Hear Those Bells?

1t is music, sweetest music when the
Xmas chimes mingle with the tones of
wedding bells "What is so rare as
day in June?' sang Lowell. and we
answer, the Xmas days, when hearts
are glad with Xmas cheer and with
the love that cements souls for time
and eternity. Columbia's bell have
been ringing and two of her fairest
ones were led to the marriage altar by,
we believe, two noble young men Dec.
%, 1909.
The home of Mrs. Priscilla w. Do
honey was scene of many smiling
happy faces and all things were made
ready by eight thirty o'clock on the
evening of the twenty-ninth, for the
nuptial ceremony, which united in
marriage Miss Verna Dohoney to Mr..
William H. Edsall
The guests were stilled by the sweet
strains of Mendelslohns wedding march,
rendered by the brides sister, Mrs.
Grace Bradshaw. All eyes were turn
ed to the door of entrance and soon a
VISION of loneliness and dignity, when
the bride and COON entered the parlors.
Elder z. 7. Williams pronounced the
words, that consummated the fondest
wishes of these two, that they become
husband and wife.
The bride was indeed pretty gowned
in shimmering moussaline satin of
cream color with a tint of pink. The
gown was of empire style with lace
yoke and bertha trimmed with chenille
of exquisite pattern. The bride car
ried beautiful boquet of brides roses.
The groom was dressed in convention
al style and although stranger to the
most of the guests we believe his man.
ly face indicates a noble character
worthy of the the prize he carries from
our town.
There were many pretty and useful
presents showing with what esteem
Miss Verna is held by her many friends
here and else where.
The happy couple left the next morn
ing for Louisville where they i'm
mediately go to housekeeping. May
Heavens richest blessings abide with
them
Out from this home we went into the
cold crispy night air, the moon was
just rising and the man in the moon
was smiling; looked almost as happy as
Messrs. John Flowers and Alex Chewn-
ing looked when some one suggested to
them that weddings were the incidents
worth while just now. They heartily
acquiesed; Then-why, oh why? But
curiosity must not be permitted to ask
the question longer and down the street
we drove with even the wheels singing
over the frozen snow.
o. these brides! How happy are they,
After the years of their childh ood's
stay r
Under the roofs that have sheltered
them kind,
They these joys will now leave be-
hind,
And this eve, with sweet love in their
hearts so true,
Will make VOWS for this life and, the
next one too,
That will make four hearts glad and,
the wears to come.
Will find them enjoying their home
sweet home.
Soon we were in the warm bright
parlor of Judge Hancock's home look
ing over the table so loaded with pres
ents and knowing of many more that
were already in the home which
the groom had waiting for his
bride we thought, ''How her many
friends love her; and she is worthy
AS the clock was striking nine Elder
z. T. William entered the parlor fol-
lowed by Miss Mary Hancock, cousin of
the bride, and Miss Susie Kate Page,
who separated, standing, one at the
right the other at the left making
ready for the happy bride and groom
Miss Betsey Hancock and Mr.. George
Lowe Elder Williams pronounced the
ceremony in simple though impressive
as was desired by the bride and the two
who have loved and betrothed them
selves to each other were joined in the
holy bonds of matrimony.
The bride looked her prettiest and
sweetest in her travelling gown being
ready for an immediate going forth to
the cosy home which her chosen one
had ready for her. Mr.. Lowe looked
his best and happiest in black suit
and after they had solemnly made their
vows in the presence of the immediate
family and few friends, who came in
at the hour. They received congratu-
lations; after lingering awhile under
the old roof-tree the two went forth we
believe in the fear of the Lord to make
holy and sacred another hearth. stone.
And may Heavens choicest blessings
hover over them and the time of sor-
