! As nature spread her veil OF night
land star-pinned her curtains back on
1.-The evening of Wednesday, February
1.-The 2nd, at 1880 o'clock. at the Meth
Iodist church the monotony and US
IuaI routine of Parrot was disturbed
! by the assemblage of a large crowd
lof friends and relatives to witness
the marriage of Miss Leila Brown to
Mr.. Arthur Clyde Grissom of Savan-
nah, which was one of the most in
Iteresting and brilliant events Parrot
has known in a number of years.
THE affair was carried out in its en-
tirety without the shadow of mis-
ltake.
The church was handsomely dec
GRATED with native palms, ferns and
begonias, the color scheme being
white and pink. After the ushers
had orderly and quietly seated the
crowd and the last notes of simple
confusion died away we heard the
sound OF the carriage wheels, while
Imagination brings a breathless whis-
per ready" AS the low, solemn
strains of MendelsshOn' wedding
march pealed forth, which was rem
dered in an artistic manner by Miss
Matte King of Montgomery, Ala,
the bridal party moved slowly and
gracefully down the aisle. First
came the brides maids, Miss Ida Lee
Pritchard with Miss Velma HeltOn
and Miss Lula Marshal with Miss
Ollie Brown, sister of the bride,
each crossing in front of the altar
and entering the chancel, forming a
half-moon on either side of the pull
pit back of the minister The brides
maids were elegantly dressed in elab-
Orately braided suits of pink silk
made princess, and carried in their
arms shower of pink roses tied
with pink ribbon. Then came the
groomsmen, Mr.. G. Thornton Lee
with Mr.. w. J. Jackson and Mr.
Claud e. Rutherford with Mr. Mar
vim D. Pierce, all handsomely attired
in evening dress. Next came the
matrOn of honor, Mrs. Estelle Henry,
nee Miss Estelle Brown, a sister of
the bride, charmingly dressed in a
lavishly braided suit of white silk
made princess, carrying a large bo-
quet of white roses tied with white
tulle. Following the matrOn of hon
or came the lovely bride leaning up
on the arm of her brother, Mr.. John
FOy Brown of Columbus, while down
the opposite aisle came the groom,
accompanied by Mr.. George Mellow
ell as best man. The bride was
dainty and exquisite in a white satin
gown trimmed with all-over braided
net, a necklace of pearls, white
gloves and slippers, while the bridal
veil was caught with a spray OF or
ange blossoms, and carried shower
of brides roses tied with white
tulle. Her fair, modest face was a
picture Of loveliness as they grace
| fully joined directly under a large,
magnificent arch with the large let
tiers "Grissom-Brown" inlaid, where
swung an immense wedding bell.
| The audience was thrilled as the low,
soft notes Of the melody of love fell
| from the organ as Miss King played
/ while Rev. Clarence E. Roberts beau
tifully performed the ceremony as
the matron. of honor stepped for
ward and relieved the bride of her
roses and gloves so impressive 1t was.
! When Rev. Clarence E. Roberts drew
the ring from his pocket and handed
| it to the groom very touching were
the words of the groom as he grace
! fully placed the jewel upon the fin
ger of the lovely bride. Not once
did either display the slightest ner-
vousness in the presence Of the large
assemblage.
After the concluding words Of
the minister's blessings were spoken
4 h. la
the church to the strains of Lohen-
green's wedding march.
The bride is the second daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Ross Brown She

woman of the blonde type, with a
quiet, gentle disposition, and is loved
