The ceremony was performed by
DR.. j. l.. Stokes, pastor Of the bride,
in his usual impressive manner, while

The wedding party left the church
in reverse order, to the strains of
Mendelssohn's Wedding March.
The bride and groom left immedi-
ately in a waiting automobile, their
destination being unknown.
Mrs. Gasque has grown up in our
midst from childhood to charming
Young womanhood, and has, by her
many lovely traits of character, en-
deared herself to all who know her
Mr.. GaSque is the popular and eff
cient superintendent Of the Walhalla
Graded School, and is a man Of ster-
ling worth. He is a native Of Marion.
The popularity of the young couple
was beautifully attested by the large
number Of handsome gifts received
by the bride.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gasqno will be absent
from Walhalla until the opening of
the new year. They have hosts of
friends here and elsewhere, with
whom The Courier most heartily joins
in extending the best Of all good
wishes.
