Large Number of Guests,
Sumptuous Feast. Nu
merous Gifts.

Mr. William M. QUITS, who re-,
sides midway between Mountain
Greek church and Kirksey has one
of the most modernly appointed
homes to be found in this section.
This elegant ten-room country man
sion has water, gas lights, and is
equipped with the lu1uries and
comforts of q city home. At no
time has this well-nigh ideal home
appeared TO better advantage than
it did on Thursday evening last
when the holiday festivities culmi-
mated in a brilliant wedding, the
occasion being the marriage of Mr..
QUITS eldest daughter, Miss Susan
Eleanor QUITS, and Mr.. Goode
Mobley Williams, Rev. J..L. QUITS,
of Inman, an uncle of the bride,
officiating, being assisted by Rev.
J. e. johnson.
6 The entire lower floor of this
large residence was decorated with
smilax, holly, mistletoe, ferns and
palms. Not only was one on cross
ing the threshold impressed with
the surprising beauty and artistic
arrangement Of the decorations but
also with their great profuslon,
wondering where so many OF ma
lures choicest creations were pro-
cured. Particularly lovely were the
decorations in the right front par
lor, where the ceremony was per-
formed. In one corner, ferns, palms
and other potted plants were ar
ranged in pyramid effect with a
canopy of evergreens leading out to
a graceful arch of green and white,
from the centre of which was sus-
pended a huge white bell. Beneath
this snow-white bell the hearts and
lives of these happy young people
were united. just as the bridal par
ty was ready to enter the parlor the
! gaSf IT'S were turned Tow and Jiny
candies arranged about the arch
gave added charm to the lovely
scene with their soft rays.
: The suspense that is always ex-
perienced at every wedding for
short time just before the crucial
moment arrives waa relieved on this
occasion by two solos, All that l
ask is love" and ''Tis all ] know"
that were faultlessly sung by Miss
Susie Matthews, the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. S. Pierce Matthews,
/ who was accompanied on the piano
by her sister, Miss Lura Matthews.
The bridal party formed in the up
per hall and descended the stairway
as Lohengrin's wedding march was
sounded upon the piano by Mrs.
Wilbur Harling, entering the parlor
in the following order; Miss Kate
Williams with Mr.. Jesse QUITS,
Miss Table QUITS with Mr.. Hugh
Williams, and next came the groom
on the arm of his best man, Mr..
{ Goode Dorm, of Sumter. The last to
fenter was the charming bride on
the arm of her maid of honor, Miss
Eileen QUITS, of Edgefeld. During
the ceremony Miss Susie Matthews
sang Because" in soft,sweet notes,
being accompanied on the piano by
Miss Lura Matthews.
Thelbrid wore rich gown OF
embroidered chiffon over white mes
saline and carried an armful of
brides roses and lilies of the val
iley. Her beauty was heightened by
the long veil that hung gracefully
about her slender form. The maid
\ iof honor was clad in very hand
some dress of pink marquisette over
pink satin. She carried bouquet of
pink roses and carnations. The
bridesmaids were prettily attired in
white net over pink silk. No prettl-
er scene was ever witnessed than
that which was presented in this
happy home as the members of the
bridal party arranged themselves IN
semi-circle facing the two minis
ters. AS our eyes beheld it, we said,
mentally, surely the angels as they
peer from the battlements of heaven
are smiling upon so hallowed and
/ SO beautiful a scene as this.
sAfter receiving congratulations,
4 the bride and groom led the way to
2fhe east dining room, being follow
led by the. other members of the
bridal party. This room, from the
standpoint of the decorations, was
the piece de resistance of the occa-
I sion, the color scheme being pink
