ing School Days.
A beautiful home wedding was
that on Wednesday morning at 1870
of Miss Anna Alexander and Mr..
Percy DeLeGal Loyless. All arrange
ments for the affair had been com
pleted at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jonathan Williams, uncle and aunt
of the bride, but on account of the
sudden apparently serious illness OF
their young daughter, Lynne, the
ceremony was performed at the home
of Mr., and Mrs. A. j. Hill.
The reception hall was entirely
banked in ferns and yellow chrysan-
themums, this color scheme being
shown over the entire floor. The
piano was placed in the rear behind
screen of bamboo, smilax and chry-
santhemums arranged for the singer
and accompanist. The bridal party
were to have entered from the library
and hall, going to the parlor, where
an improvised altar had been erected
with five pedestals draped in snilaX
and bearing silver vases of chrysan-
themums. White satin ribbons fes-
tooned from the pedestals formed an
aisle and galway through which the
bridal party should have passed. The
dining room was respondent in chry-
santhemums of the mammoth variety,
and the white wedding cake was
placed in the center with drapings of
tulle from the chandelier.
As these arrangements could not
be carried out as planned the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. j. Hill was mod
estly decorated for the ceremony
Just prior to the ceremony Mr.. Jul
ian Price: of Leesburg, sang sweetly
81 Love Thee Truly" with Miss
Gladys Crowell accompanist. A hush
was felt as the soft strains of Men
delssohn s wedding march began and
Rev 7. M. Galloway came into the
parlor, taking his place at the bay
window. Then came the groom with
his best man, Mr.. Dudley Mize, fol-
lowed by the bride, who entered with
Miss Eleanor Crouch. The impressive
ring ceremony was used. The bride
wore her travelling suit of African
brown with fur trimmings and Access
series to match, and carried brides
roses and valley lilies tied with tulle.
The bridesmaid wore becoming suit
of navy and carried white chrysan-
themums. After congratulations a
salad course was served, after which
the young couple left for their home
in Jacksonville, Fla.
A large display of gifts attested
the popularity Of the contracting par
ties. Cut glass and silver, handsome
linens, ETC., were in evidence. The
cutting of the wedding cake furnish
ed much amusement, and each guest
registered in book kept by Miss Toy
Laing. Miss Mary Marshall cut the
ring, Miss Maude Anthony the Thin
BILE. Miss Johnnie Steadham the
toothpick and Miss Florence Bald
win the dime.
The bride is the daughter of Mr..
George r. Alexander of Jacksonville,
but was reared in Dawson by her
grandmother, Mrs. j. NJ. Alexander,
and is loved by a large circle of
friends. The groom was until recent
years a resident of Dawson, and is
we'll and favorably known here. The
marriage is the elimination of rO-
nance begun in childhood days, and
friends predict a happy life for the
couple.
