the most brilliant affairs that ever
occurred in our little city. The church
itself was picture of rare beauty
with its decorations of trailing smilax.
palms and ferns. Just in front of the
altar a canopy of green had been erect
ed and-suspended from this were large
white wedding bells. Bowers of green
were hung over the aisle and the same
decorations were used in the cho r
stand.
Just preceding the entrance Of the
bridal party Miss Lucy Baldwin swee.-
ly sang "All For You" Miss Susie
Beckham charmingly played Mendels-

The groom entered with his best
man, Mr.. T. A Barrow, Of Pelham.

Under the canopy of green the bri-

pronounced the magic words that
made them man and wife, the ring
ceremony being impressively used.
The sweet little flower girls, Misses
Addie RE and Mildred McCrory, then
led the way out of the church, scat
tering sweet peas for the bride and
groom to tread upon.
Automobiles were in waiting, and
soon the guests gathered at the Nc
Crory home, where a delightful re-

bride and groom stood to receive con-
gratulations.
In the receiving line were also Col
and Mrs C. R. McCrory, Mrs. c. H.
Smith, Mrs. Richard Edwards, Mrs. H.
S. Munroe and Mrs. Clara Head.
An immense array of bridal pres
ents attested the popularity Of the
young couple who have started life
under such bright prospects.
At suitable hour ices and cake
were served, the color scheme of white
and green was beautifully carried oat
in the refreshments and n the home
decorations. Misses Marie Stevens and
Ida Munroe dispensed fruit punch
on the front porch
The lawn was softly lighted with
Japanese lanterns and the whole sur
roundings presented a scene that will
be long remembered by those pres
ent.
