The marriage of Miss Georgia
Mae Wates and Mr.. Joseph Harry
Ramsey of Walterboro, S. c., which
took place at the home of Mrs. Bus
sey at nine o'clock A. NJ. on May 4.
was a very quiet but beautiful
wedding.
The most striking feature of the
occasion was the symmetrical and
exquisite taste displayed throughout;
also, much in touch with the mod
est nature of the bride.
A pyramid of pretty ferns was
arranged at the mantle, the parlor
darkened, the use of pink shades
over the lights, gave such pleas
ing effect to the entire party.
After the guests assembled Miss
Allie Evans of Abbeville, devoted
friend of the bride, sang so sweetly
Perfect Day." Mrs. G. w. Bussey

At the sound of Mendelsohn's
wedding march, Miss Evans presid-
ing at the piano, our honored
pastor, Rev. &. w. Bussey. pre-
ceded the party, looking as gallant
as a young soldier.

and Mamie Zimmerman, Misses
Kathleen Kenrick and Pearl Bailey,
Misses Mamie Bussey and Ellie
Dorm, the maid of honor being the
sister OF the bride, Miss Etfie Wates,

The bride ON the arm Of the groom
attired in a very stylish gown of
white organdie, using the bridal
wreath with long trailing veil, which
gave to her stylish form most
graceful appearance. Her bouquet
was white roses and trailing spen-
geria. The attendants wore dresses
of pure white, carrying large bou-
quats of roses and ferns on their

Mrs. Joseph Harry Ramsey is
possessed of such a sweet, gentle,
unassuming manner, and being
gifted in elocution and graduate
of the S. G. G. l., made her quite an
accession to our community. We
were loath to give her up, but feel
that our loss is Walterboro's gain.

Our congregation was small In
number at Red Oak Grove Sunday
but big in heart. Bro. Bussey's
heart was made TO overflow with
gratitude to note how responsive
they were when he took contribu-
ton for Mrs. Robert Spronsee,
whose condition Is such that surgl
cal treatment must be rendered.
Her friends hope she can soon be
restored to health, being the mother
of six little children.
