Beautiful Church Wedding Solenniz-
ed at Quitman, Ga.

A beautiful and brilliant event of
last Thursday was the wedding of
Miss Annie Mcleod and DR.. Charles
Frederick Black, which was solemn
lied at the First Presbyterian church
at $3.50 o'clock, in the presence OF
many friends and relatives.
The church decorations were very
beautiful, the white and green color
scheme being used throughout, and
with most artistic effect. Festoons of
smilax outlined the chancel rails,
windows and doors; the altar was
massed with ferns and in front of it
we're eight white pillars of graduated
heighth, the two tallest being in the
centre. each holding silver candelabra
with white tapers. The pillars were
wreathed with maiden hair fern and
connected with a white cord also
wreathed with fern. On each side of
the altar in front were two tall floor
vases filled with white carnations,
the handles tied with white tulle. In
the background at the ends of the
chancel rail were other white bas-
kets filled with carnations, complet-
ing a most lovely picture.
The two aisles leading to the altar
were also outlined with white pillars,
which were connected with a white
cord wreathed with fern and hanging
on white horse shoes for good luck;
each pillar was topped with white
basket filled with carnations and
ferns, the handles tied with white
tulle. The lights were covered with
white and green shades and these
with the tapers shed soft and pleas
ing light over the beautiful wedding
tableau. Much favorable comment
has been made by those present of
the artistic effect in the church dec
orations.
Preceding and during the cere-
mony a beautiful programme of mu-
sic was rendered with Miss Lucille
Autrey, of Moultrie, at the organ.
Two vocal numbers were given by
Mr.. James Hubert, "Junetime" and
Because" Miss Autrey played
"Springtime Sketch and then the
bridal chorus from Lohengrin as the
bridal party approached the altar.
During the ceremony she played Shu-
bert's Serenade and for the reces-
sional Mendelssohn's wedding march.
The ushers first approached, cross
ing in front of the altar and taking
their place between the line of pill
lars. The ushers were Messrs. j. H.
