HOUGH-BURNEY

HOUGH-BURNEY
At high noon Thursday, August
the twenty fifth, 1921 the home
Of Mrs. Florence Collier Burney
was the scene Of q marriage re-
markable for its beauty and ele-
giant simplicity, when Miss Ora
ham Collier Burney was married
to Mr.. Frank Hough Of Indianola,
Mississippi. The bride has spent
her childhood and girlhood in
Brandon. Bright and vivacious,
with charming personality, she
has been a great favorite. BY her
sweetness and cordiality she has
endeared herself to many friends
who were present on her marriage
morn to wish her prosperity,
health, and much happiness. The
groom, adopted by this state from
Virginia, is one of our foremost
school men he having served
the past year as head master Of
the Captain Riley School for Boys
at Greenville,
The spacious hall Of the Bur-
ney home was admirably suited to
the occasion. The artistic handi-
work of friends had builded bri-
dial bower of ferns, and crepe
myrtle and had placed over head
a basket beautiful in design with
pink roses, their foliage, and
white clematis.
Miss Annie Henry received the
guests at the door and Mrs. Harris
Collier, Mrs. Arnold Harbour, and
Miss Enola Stamps invited them
into the parlor where Mrs. Jack
Maxey was pouring punch for
Miss Marjorie Maxey and Miss
Anna buchanan to serve; then
to the dining where the bridal
presents, which were numerous
and unique, were displayed in
tasty arrangement.
The solemn marriage vows of
the Baptist Church were impress
sively administered by the brides
pastor. At Twelve o'clock Miss
Grace White rendered a piano pro-
gram and Miss Mabel Gayden
sang when Love Is Sweet" and
ITO YOU. AS Miss White played
Mendelshon's Wedding March, DIR.
M. O. Patterson, the officiating
minister, entered and took his
place at the improvised altar,
Miss Zou Miller Burney, sister Of
the bride and maid Of honor,
walked gracefully up the length
of the hall and stood at the right.
She wore an exquisite dress Of
cream and blue georgette with
large, leghorn hat and carried a
bouquet of Russell roses. Dainty
Ann Graham Collier was ring
bearer. Her fluffy little mid-sum-
mer costume was of pink organdy
and tulle. She carried an old
fashioned bouquet of pink rose
buds in which was concealed the
wedding ring. Then came the
groom, attended by the best man,
Mr.. Eugene Hough. AS the
strains of music changed from
Mendelsohn's to Lohengrin's We'd
ding March, the bride entered,
wearing a handsome gown of navy
blue crepe and a brown picture
hat. Her corsage was of Russell
roses and valley lilies. AS she
entered the hall, i'm the flush Of
her glorious young womanhood,
surrounder by loved ones and
friends, upon the threshold Of a
happy future, it was not strange
that all could read in the won
drous sweetness of her smile a
happy trust in the new life.
The ceremony was followed by
half an hour of congratulations
after which Mr.. and Mrs. Hough
left for their bridal trip.
