TEMPEL-JoHNs WEDDING.

@-@@@u.
The marriage of Miss Helen Luckett
Johns and Mr.. Graham Havis Tempel
took place in the Presbyterian church
at Gloster, Miss, Wednesday evening,
April %, at half past six o'clock, the
Rev. S. e. McFadden officiating. The
sacred building had been adorned in
preparation for the event in the most
chaste and exquisite decorations of
green and white: the verdure of beau
tiful vines and the snow of numberless
Easter lilies. A bower of the latter
formed about the spot where the young
couple exchanged their VOWS
Before the arrival Of the bridal party
Mr.. Chevis Mclean sang several beau
tiful solos with Mrs. w. Mills presiding
at the organ.
To the strains of the wedding march
rendered by Mrs. Mills the bridesmaids
and their attendants marched in and
took their respective places around the
altar in the following order: Miss Rosa
Kahn and Mr.. RaifOrd Barney, Miss
Edith Williams and Mr.. Barney Johns,
Miss Marguerite Guice and Mr.. Elmer
son Robinson, Miss Irby Butler and
Mr.. Jean Mclean, Miss Willie Lee
Johns maid of honor; then the two
little flower girls, Misses Mittie Barney
Mclean and Mary Evelyn Reid, who
Immediately preceded the bride, who
came in leaning on the arm of her
father. The groom with his best man,
Mr.. Moyse Kahn, entered the church
from the west door, joining his bride
at the altar.
The attendants walked single file
up the aisle, maid alternating with
groomsman in the procession, and so
arranging themselves on either side of
the bridal pair that they stood in
couples. The bride, who is fair with
dark hair and eyes, looked lovely in
her bridal gown of white crepe de
chine, elaborated in the quaint, pretty
style of the day with ruffles of lace,
occasionally caught into semblance of
butterflies. The gown was modishly
short, but the veil of real lace formed
train behind her, and was caught to-
gether at the tip with handsome white
ribbons. The bridesmaids all wore
pretty, girlish gowns with pale green
sash ribbons. All carried arm bou-
quets of Easter lilies. The little flower
girls were darlings in frocks of lace
and organdy. One carried spray OF
lilies, the other basket of snowy
blossoms. The gentlemen of the party
wore white suits, carrying out the idea
of "a white wedding"
After the ceremony, the bride re-
turned to her parents home, and
changed for the 1870 train, wearing a
handsome gown of grey silk with hat
to match.
The happy couple after making a
honeymoon visit to Memphis, Vicks-
burg and New Orleans will return to
Gloster, this week, boarding at the new
hotel there. Mrs. Tempel is the young.
est daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. W. D.
Johns, prominent in the social life of
Gloster. She is girl of charm of
manner and loneliness of character
and the friends and relatives of the
bridegroom in West Feliciana rejoice
in his happiness, feeling that it is de,
served. He is young man of ability
; and true worth, and is valued EN-.
ployee, as telegraph operator, at Clos
ter, for the Yazoo and Mississippi Val.
ley Railroad.
The members of his family present
at the wedding were his mother, Mrs
Kate Tempel of Baton Rouge, and
Mrs. J. G. Magearl of st. Francisville
