 The beautiful little church edifice, in which so many similar events have made souls innumerable so happy, ,and which for that reason, and many others, is so dear to the hearts of hundreds of other citizens and fami- lies, always spick and span, had been made ten-fold more inviting, cheerful and magnificent in flowers by the willing hands of loving friends under the direction of Mrs. W. H. Alley and Mrs. Marshall. The color scheme of white and yellow was artisticaily planned and was prominent through out the decorations. There was pro- fusion of beautiful potted plants, and an arch over the altar and under which the happy principals stood dur Ing the ceremony, was covered with asparagus ferns studded with large and magnificent yellow chrysanthe- nuns. Scores of lighted candles shed a soft glow over all, and added to a happy soleDnity and pleasing awe which pervaded the very atmosphere. Every detail of the decorations was perfectly done and as a whole was most beautiful to behold.
 Long before the appointed time, there began to pour into the church a steady stream of we'll wishing friends and acquaintances of the sweet girl bride; many who have known her since she first came to gladden. the hearts of her fond parents, and it Was con. stantly augmented until every avail able space large enough was filled anG many were unable to gain admission
