WEDDING AT DENMARK.
MIR. A. NJ. Brabham and Miss Edith
Rice Happily Married.

gust 1st, in the Baptist church at
Denmark, Miss Edith Clarice Rice to
Mr.. Angus Mckay Brabham, Rev.
B. F. Allen officiating.
And in the simple story told there
by, many friend and relative will
remember one of the most happy of
such occasions. In the evening hour,
when the west is broken into bars,
of orange, gold and gray, gone is the
sun and yet the stars not come, nor
night infolds the day, the friends and
relatives throng the church to wit
ness the beautiful event.
The sweet voiced tones of the vio-
lin as they speak out boldly, &C
companied by the more gentle notes
of the organ, announced the arrival OF
the briday party; first came the ush-
ers, Messrs. Cecil Rice and M. w.
Brabham entering together and DR..
V. W. Brabham and Mr.. Walter Rice
entering on the other side. Just
preceding these, the little ribbon
girls, Cecile and Cornelia Higgins
and Vista and Evelyn Brabham lead
the way. Miss Jenkins with Mr.. j..
F. Carter; Miss Emma Owens with
Mr.. E. H. Henderson; Miss Ina Califf
with Mr.. Norman Kirsch; Miss Lynn
Goolsby with Mr.. F. M. Moye; these
make up the party; following them,
the groom with his brother, Mr.. c..
r. Brabham, Jr., enters, while down
the other aisle, the bride approaches
with her brother, Mr.. Charles w.
Rice. AS the bride nears the sacred
altar, the notes of the violin become
softer and sweeter and gently recede
into ouietude as the minister begins
to speak. And there the bride and
groom pledge their troth, entering
the life that leads melodious days,
making their lives prayer. Every
thing is beautiful in the simplicity
of the occasion; there in the front
we see the mound of Sprengeri and
asparagus ferns, and other decora-
tions in keeping. And adorning the
scene is the bridal party, the at
tendants with their simple costumes,
the Young ladies with white lingerie
dresses and the gentlemen in regula-
tion evening dresses; the bride with
a beautiful wedding gown of white
satin with trimmings of baby irish
and pearls en- train.
"And as the bright sun glorlhes the
sky
So is her face illumined with her
eye."
Perhaps the poet had in mind such
a bride when he penned these words:
eyes that could see her on this we'd
ding day
Might find it hard to turn another
way;
She had a pensive beauty; yet not
Rather like minor cadences that glad
The hearts of little birds amid spring
~ boughs.''
The maids carried bouqeuts OF as
tiers with ferns, while the bride car
ried a shower bouquet of roses and
ferns.
Quietly the violin and organ re-
sumed the chord, and the party pass
ed from the sanctuary. Peacefully
the quiet stars came out, one after
one, the holy twilight fell upon the
scene, and the summer day was done.
The wedding party with relatives
were driven to the home OF the
brides parents where they were given
an informal reception. The gifts re-
ceived were there viewed and it was
a collection of beautiful presents
which they were privileged to see.
The gifts of silver were especially
many and handsome; other beautiful
gifts consisted of cut glass and china.
After the bridal couple had board
ed the west bound train for Augusta,
the bridal party returned to the Rice
home and spent an evening of pleas
ant pastime, Mr.. Arthur Pregnal and
others furnishing music. The music
there was a continuation of the same
that Mr.. Pregnal and Miss Edna
steadman had so beautifully render
ed at the church for the ceremony.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brabham have gone
to the mountains of Virginia, where
they will spend their honeymoon.
They will return to Bamberg the lat
ter part of August and will make
their home with Mrs. jamie c. Lewis
on Midway avenue, near the Carlisle
Fitting School.
The bride as Miss Rice was an un-
usually popular young lady in her
home town and at Limestone college
