In cupid's Realm.

:
Though rain fell continually yesterday
afternoon, by four o'clock, the appointed
hour, large crowd had gathered at the
Methodist Church to witness the mar
rage OF Miss Ethel Gray Adger, daugh-
ter of Mrs. Matte Adger, to Mr.. Ernest
H. Belcher, second son of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. H. Belcher, all residents of this place.
A prettily decorated room, with a
wedding bell in white blossoms and
green, suspended in its triumph from
large arch, greeted them. AS the hour
came Miss Flora Bergman, a talented
musician, appropriately sang 'sThe
Hour That Gave Me You," breaking
into the march which heralded the
coming of the bride and groom. The
scene that followed was indeed treat
to the eye. First came up the separate
aisles the two ushers, Mr.. N. M. Belcher,
brother of the groom, and Mr.. A. M.
Wyche; then the maid of honor, Miss
Halle Belle Thomas Of Texarkana, fol-
lowed by the prettily- gowned little
flower girl, the brides niece, and daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. E. Adger. Then
up the left aisle marched the bride, on
the arm of her brother, Mr.. S. C. Adger,
who was to later give her in marriage,
and opposite the groom, attended by
Mr.. Morris Adger, also brother Of the
bride. As the party met before the
altar they fronted Rev. G. G.. Wood.
bridge, who said the ritual that made
them husband and wife. AS the cere-
mony proceeded Miss Bergman rendered
'Traumerei" in low, sweet strains on
the violin.
The pretty decorations, in their sub
dued light, the handsome gowns and
happy faces, the music and solemnity OF
the ceremony loaned to the occasion a
charm that claimed the attention of all.
AS the bride and groom left the church
to repair to Mrs. Adger's home they
were followed by many of their friends
who joined them in reception.
| At the home were displayed profu-
sion of gifts-some surprising in rich
beauty and others of lasting usefulness.
Many out-of-town guests were pres
| ent to witness the ceremony, and it was
indeed a social function demanding
more space than is given here, and this
is only written at the last moment II
lieu of report that was to have beer
furnished.
In conclusion, we wish to again extend
to the happy young couple our bes
wishes, and those of their many friend
is attested by the many presents given.
