HARTZOG-MURPH.
Pretty Home Wedding Solemnized on
Wednesday Afternoon.

Wednesday afternoon at half past
five o'clock at the home of the bride,
Miss Annie Lang HartZog, second
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Vastine j.
Hartzog, was married to Mr.. Duncan
Clifton Murph, of Orangeburg. The
home had been transformed into a
veritable fairyland. The hallway was
in pink and green, huge pink chry-
santhemums and smilax being used
in profusion.
The guests were received by Mes
danes Harry Graham and H. L. Bag
gott, and ushered into the living
room to view the presents, which
were numerous and beautiful. This
room was in green and yellow, and
the soft glow of candelabra made the
room lovely. Great yellow chrysan-
theums in tall vases were on the
mantle. The parlor was done in
green and white, and this room was
especially beautiful.
Just before the ceremony several
musical selections were rendered by
DR.. o. D. Faust on the violin, Mr.. c.
E. Black on the cello, and Mrs. Le-
Verne Thomas at the piano. Mrs.
Charles Black sang very sweetly
Sunshine of Your Smile;" then the
strains of Lohengrin pealed forth
softly, and the bridal party entered,
preceded by two beautiful little
girls, Ruby Murph, of St. Matthews,
niece of the bridegroom, and Erline
Baggott, of Charleston, cousin of the
bride. They carried baskets of yell
low chrysanthemums and were
dressed in white tulle over satin. The
maid of honor, Miss Mamie Hartzog,
sister of the bride, came behind the
flower girls. She was dressed in white
net and carried an armful of beautl-
full white chrysAnthemums tied with
yellow tulle. The bride slowly de-
scended the stairway on the arm of
her father, meeting the bridegroom
with his best man, Mr.. John Murph,
at the foot of the stairs. They stood
in the parlor door, where DR.. Bays,
of Sumter, performed the impressive
ring ceremony.
The bride was beautiful in white
georgette crepe dress, white satin
slippers, and veil wreathed in
orange blossoms. She carried love-
ly bouquet of white bride roses and
fern.
After the ceremony the guests re-
paired to the dining room where de-
lightful pink block ice cream and
angel cake trimmed in orange bios
SONS were served. The brides table
was beautiful, with cluny center
piece and bowl of pink American
beauty roses and white streamers OF
tulle tied at each corner of the table.
In a corner in the back hallway, Miss
es Eva Howell and Ella May Martin
presided over the punch bowl. Lit
tie Misses Rowley Williams and Lena
Rhoad pinned on the favors as the
guests left the dining room to register
in the brides book, presided over by
Miss Pearl Counts.
The bride then changed to her
travelling suit of Burgundy broad
cloth with accessories to match, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Murph left by motor sfor
Denmark where they caught a train
for Atlanta and other points where
they visited before returning to their
future home in Orangeburg, where
Mr.. Murph has successful mercantile
business.
The presents were exquisite, con-
sisting of cut glass, silver and china.
Among the many handsome gifts was
a chest of silver, the gift of the brides
brother; also beautiful Brussels art
square, the gift of close friend.
Mrs. Murph is most charming
young lady. She is gifted with many
pleasing accomplishments, and she

and numbers his friends by the score.
