land cut flowers. Before the cere-
mony Leetha Camp, the young sister
of the bride sang very sweetly 81
Love You Truly"
The wedding party entered to the
strains of Lohengrin's wedding march
played by Miss Alma Gilbert. First
to enter were Mr.. Scale Patterson
and Mr.. Julius McClung, then came
Miss Clara Dunn, maid of honor,
wearing a gown of pink satin and
carrying bouquet of pink roses. The
little ring bearer, Lynn Branon, came
bearing the ring in an Easter Lily.
Proceeding the bride were the little
flower girls, Leetha Camp and Eliza
beth Thompson who wore dainty
frocks of pink organdie.
The bride entered with her father,
Mr.. James N. Camp, and was never
more beautiful. She wore a gown of
white georgette, her veil being caught
with orange blossoms. Her flowers
were brides roses showered with
lilies of the valley. She was met at
the altar by the groom and his best
man Mr.. Wilton Carson, his brother.
The bride is one of the most beau
tiful and attractive girls in Smyrna.
She is the eldest daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. N. Camp and rightly enjoys
a wide popularity here.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carson will make
their future home in Spring Hill.

COLE-McNACNY

The most brilliant social event of
the season, and one of the most beau
tiful weddings ever solemnized in Ma
rietta took place ON last wednesday
evening at st. James Church when
Miss Lucy Cole was united in mar
riage with Mr.. Phil Mcclellan Nc
Nagny.
The stately and impressive marri-
age ceremony of the Episcopal
Church was read by the Rector, Rev.
Randolph R. Claiborne.
Preceding the arrival of the bril-
dial party pleasing musical program
was rendered and it is a noteworthy
fact that the brides grandmother,
Mrs. n. G. Cole, was the organist on
this happy occasion, and rendered the
wedding march on the self-same or
gan which she has played in historic
st. James for seventy years. The
Church was profusely decorated in
palms, ferns and lilies, with Just a
touch of pink to add a suggestion of
color like the first blush of dawning
womanhood upon the check of a
beautiful young girl. Upon the altar
in all their cathedral splendor stood
brass candlesticks whose lighted ia
pers shed radiant glow on the tall
vases of Ascension lilies which were
placed at either end of the altar.
A quantity beautiful idea was that
which prompted the bridesmaids to
go forth to meet the bride, these
young girls in their bridal array,
suggesting so many vestal virgins,
came out from the vestry and with
stately tread wended their way in
single file down the center aisle to
the front entrance of the church.
The groomsmen marched up the side
aisles and took their PAGES in front
Of the chancel. Then the bridesmaids
retraced their steps returning by way
of the center aisle but this time they
