Tuesday at the First Baptist

Church
A church wedding which was quite
beautiful in the enacting and of mucl
interest to large circle of persona
and family friends was that of Mis-
Irma Harris, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs

gore, on Tuesday at / 80 p. m. at the

was distinctive from several view
points. The impressive dignity of the
service served to enchance the sacred
ness of the occasion, which marked
the termination of an exceptionally
happy <girlhood and the beginning OF

the bride is so deserving. She is a
girl of great popularity in her home
community, being universally admired
on account of her amiable disposition
and refinement of manners. This
church. whose services since a child

fitting place for this sacred scene.

reflected artistic discrimination in
their arrangement. The altar was
formed by the banking of tall palms
and ferns, graduating to smaller ones

to great advantage, the arrangement
being most tasteful. While the audi
ence was assembling Mrs. H. o. Boat
wright rendered an eXqulsitely beauti'
