BEAUTIFUL CHURCH WEDDING

On the evening of June 20, at tn,
Methodist church in Grenada, Mr.. S
G. Pecot made Miss Kate Lou Coun
tiss his bride. 1t was in truth ;
pretty affair. Notwithstanding tn
intensity of the heat, the church wa
filled sometime before the hour fol
the wedding with the friends ant
admirers of the popular couple. Th'
decorations were simple yet exceed
ingly we'll arranged and blended har
moniously one with the other ane
suited we'll the occasion so importan
in the lives of the contracting parties
Mrs. J. J. Williams, Jr., of Memphl!
(nee Hattie Moody was matron OF
honor. Four lovely young ladies'
Misses Elizabeth Pressgrove, Mar!
Roane, Katherine Tucker and Carrie
Doty, beautifully gowned in snow
white, were the ushers. The maids
were: Misses Lea Alta Ford and Mary
Ray Tindall, cousins of the bride, the
latter being maid of honor. While
awaiting the arrival Of the bridal
party, Miss Annie Carpenter, who Is
one of the most perfect and popular
singers ever among the student BODY
of Grenada College, sang two songs
accompanied by Miss Elizabeth Dun
can on the organ. The wedding
march was played by Miss Duncan
and whatever she does is always well
executed. The bride came down the
church aisle with her mother who
gave her away. her father officiated
in saying the beautiful and impress
sive ceremony that made his daught-
er a wife. With the decorations IN
white with appropriate vines and
flowers. and the ladies in white, there
could hardly have been a mole per-
feet wedding picture, picture that
made the friends of the fair and
lovely bride wish in their hearts was
but an advance setting of the path
she was to tread in coming days.
Surely something more than an ordi-
nary humanity must have had hand
in arranging the scene-sublimlty un-
smiled at the betrothal.
The auspices were indeed favorable.
The butterflies in the bouquets of the
bride and her maids, matrons and ush-
ers must have been attended by the
same beautiful, objects from fairy
land where hope and cheer fingers
and radiate for for those whose Wis
ion is cast in that direction. Mr.. A.
c. Beane was best man. DR.. Coun-
tiss has no doubt officiated hundreds
of times before at such functions. yet
he never could have appeared to a
better advantage nor could he have
felt so seriously the great importance
of the act he was performing.
Mr. Pecot is native of Columbus.
Ca. and comes from one of the hest
families in a state, prolific with so
much that is so rich and grand in the
history of the United States and es-
oecially of the South. He is we'll
educated and possesses that business
skill and assiduity that mean per-
nanency and success. At present he
S engaged in managing a fibre plant
;or the federal government at Tupe-
o. This plant manufactures cotton
nto material suited for the cannon
md combustibles on the battle lines.
Mrs. Pecot is the only daughter of
)r. and Mrs. j. R. Countiss of Gre
lada College. She is very talented
-oung woman, but the brilliancy of
Ter intellect has but served to height
n rather than diminish those graces
nd beauties Of character that are
greatest asset. She
PRACTICES none of the arts of the So
iety woman. She seems rather to
ride herself on being really natural
nd just as simple in her demeanor |
S could be desired. She has been
aught that life without a vision is
1eaningless and she is endeavoring |
0 practice day by day those things |
hat make for real growth and fu-
ure happiness. She was at the head !
f the department of English in Gre
ada College last session and measur-
d fully up to the high standards of
nose who have so creditably filled
lie same place before her.
From the church the bridal party
epaired to the Countiss home front
lg Main street where a reception was
ad and refreshments served. The
ONE was beittingly arranged for the
ccasion. The decorations in the din
lg room and on the dining table
ere indeed pretty. Particularly
riking were the ices made in but
,rfy shape. Tn cakes were tied
ith pink candy bows and sweet pea
ecorations. More than an hour was
'ent in happy mingling and bridal {
The presents were {
andsome and numerous indeed. The
lends of both the bride and the {
'oom seemed to vie with each other {
what they could remember them ,
lth as an evidence of their love and !
TEEN. r
The happy pair left on the first
ain going south for a short trip, t
sitting New Orleans and Mobile, 7
ter which they will be at home to i
cir friends at Tupelo, Miss. The c
'ntlnel tenders congratulations and b
e very best wishes. @
