/ One of the most happily designed
and deliberately consummated So
cial functions that has ever trans
PRED in Lexington, was the mar
rage at 5 p. m, Thursday, June 81,
OF Miss Edna, daughter of Mr.. w.
Il. Montgomery. to Mr.. Herman Lee
Conyers, of Alamo, Crockett county.
The whole occasion was one Of per-
feet harmony, typical of the blend
ing OF two young lives into one, in
lfulfilment of our Lords declaration
that when the sacred words of mar
riage are said by the minister and
the promises given which shall bind
until death shall part the contract
ing parties, they become No longer
twain but one flesh"
When the host of invited guests
entered the spacious Montgomery
home on Clifton street, they found
the entire lower floor decorated in
a harmonious blending OF ascension
lilies and white carnations entwin-
ed with green fern and trailing smi-
lax and the parlor on the right was
chosen for the Hymeneal altar, with
an arch on the front and here also
the color motif was a blending of
white and green.
Before the bridal party made
their entrance, there was rendered
a musical program in which Mr..
Will Elder Roberts, of Memphis, sang
The Hour That Gave Me You" and
%, Promise Me-" with Miss Irene
Ozier. of Pinson, at the piano and
with violin accompaniment by Mr..
Noah Perry, of Crockett Mills.
The approach of the bridal party
twas heralded by the appearance of
little Miss Frances Phillips as ring
bearer, who carried the marriage
ring in the heart of a lilly and was
followed by the six bridesmaids, in
pairs Misses Annie Laurie Con-
yers, of Alamo, and June Grove, of
Jackson; Misses Margaret Cooper, of
Pinson, and Bess Bryan, Of Mercer;
Misses Ruth Enochs and Eunice
Melton, of Lexington. The brides
maids were dressed in pink crepe
de chine and carried pink roses.
Then came the flower girls, Miss
es Rebecca Sue Fleming and Eliza
beth Nance; then the Maid Of Hon.
or, Miss Raulie Yates, sister of the
bride, who was dressed in white
Georgette and carried white roses.
This procession, which came down
the stairway, was concluded by the
bride, who was gowned in white
Georeette, long white veil, caught at
the top in orange blossoms, and
carried brides roses and valley Ill

| In front Of the altar and under
the bridal arch the bride was met
by the groom on the arm Of his
best man, Mr.. Randall Vann, of
Jackson, and while kneeling on the
step of the altar, these two heard
the solemn words and dave their
sacred promises to be faithful and
true to each other so long as life
shall last. The ceremony said by
the Rev. Fred H. Peoples was a
most impressive one-as all mar
riage ceremonies should be. The
bride looked her sweetest self, the
groom gave evidence Of realizat. Jon
Of honor and responsibilities being
heaped upon him--and so, Her
man and Edna" pushed their craft
from the shore Of single life out up
on the sea Of Matrimony, carrying
with them the wish from all that
the good God may give them grace
sufficient to enable them to avoid
the dangers of the might deep"
After the ceremony, the bride re-
tired to change to travelling cos

new life, and while waiting to be-
stow their goodbyes the guests we're
