chaI, Jr., Take Marriage Vows.
Many Handsome Presents.
The old saying that "all the world
loves a lover" was borne out again
Thursday evening when, in spite of
drenched streets, muddy crossings,
lowering clouds and drizzling rain,
the Baptist church was crowded to
it's full capacity, the occasion being
the nuptia's of Miss Mamie Dean and
Mr.. E. C. Paschal, Jr. Never in the
history of Dawson has there been
more beautifully decorated chancel.
The entire front of the church was
banked in stately palms and graceful
ferns, while the color scheme of pink
and blue was carried out in detail. In
the center stand in front of a mass
of green was a pure white arch, with
the initials SD and Pr suspended.
Oleanders furnished the decorations.
AS the guests entered the letters
famed out in brilliancy. Festoons
of bamboo and smilax were sus-
pended from ceiling to altar, with
graceful baskets filled with pink and
blue hydrangeas at intervals. Enter
ing first to the strains of Lohengrin's
wedding march, with Miss Jessie
Martin at the organ, came Mr.. Crouch
Baldwin and Mr.. Charlie Brown, fol-
lowed by Mr.. Steve Kenyon and Mr..
Carl Melton. Then Mr.. c. D. Cooke
and Mr.. John Henry Crouch, the sex
tette acting as ushers during the eve
ming. Miss Florella Crouch entered
with Mr.. John Ike Bernard. Then
came Miss Frances Campbell and Mr..
J. C. Dukes, followed by Miss Louise
McNulty and Mr.. Raymond Dozier,
the young ladies in beautiful pink
frocks made en- train and carrying
shower bouquets of white roses. Miss
Nellie Fargason, maid of honor,
queenly in a creation OF pink and
blue and carrying pink roses, entered
with Mrs j. E. Morris, who acted as
matron of honor, wearing white satin
and carrying pink roses, followed by
the dainty little flower girl, Miss
Mary Brannon of Georgetown, In a
lovely lingerie frock.
The groom entered from the right,
with his best man, Mr.. c. H. Peddy,
meeting at the altar arch, the stately
bride, who was attired in white crepe
de chine, with real lace trimmings,
wearing a becoming veil caught with
orange blossoms and carrying a
shower bouquet of bride roses, with
valley lilies. Rev. T. M. Galloway
pronounced the impressive ring cere-
mony, while soft strains of music
blended with the solemn service. At
the beginning of the ceremony the
initial ''P" faded out, leaving the sd"
alone Illuminated, but as the service
progressed, the 3D. became fainter
and fainter, until as the final words
were spoken, the ''P" again flashed
out in brilliancy.
The bridal party withdrew to the
strains of Memberships wedding
march.
1t had been said that only the hand
of an artist could have designed and
executed the decorative scheme, as
indeed was true, the work being SUI
perintended by Mrs. T. G. Geise, with
Mrs. T. B. Raines, Mrs. G. w. DOzier,
Mrs. w. C. Wallace and the Lynn
Durham Bible class as helpers, saw
its successful completion.
