ing at seven o'clock, when Miss

was one of the prettiest weddings
ever seen in this section.
The bride wore a lovely gown of

with a brocade embroidered with a

over half century ago.
The matron of honor, Mrs. L. A..

sister, and Mrs. George A. Sanders,
of Fairfax, who is the groom's sister,

While the guests were gathering
and being seated, the w. F. Balk or
chestra, of Augusta, rendered pro-
gramme consisting of several mu-
sical numbers, enjoyable throughout.
AS the orchestra gave way, and
Mrs. E. Roy Cooner, of Bamberg, was
seated at the piano, there was VS.
ible tightening Of the tension, for
everyone knew that the bridal music
was beginning and that soon, very
soon, the BRIDE!
The bridal music was very appro-
priately melodious and sweet in
every number and in every particular,
and was enjoyed richly by everyone.
1t consisted Of: A piano solo, 'Gondo-
lieri" (Nevin); vocal solo, Bridal
Dawn" (Easthrope-Martin) by Mrs.
Barney F. Owens, of Dunbarton; a
duet, ''Beauteous Night" (Hoffman)
by Mrs. B. D. Garter and Paul Whit
taker, of Bamberg; and the most ap-
propriate and inevitable because,
also by Mrs. Owens.
And as the march began, immedi-
ately preceding the bridal party, the
ribbon girls, jamie Beth Carter and
Elizabeth Starr, gracefully performed
their tasks, followed by the lit
tie candle lighters, Misses Eliza
beth Jones, Dorothy Mobley, Julia
Caroline Rizer, and Gladys Virginia
Kearse, appeared, fairy like, and il
Illuminated the altar with a golden
mellowness.
Little DuPree Sanders followed
these bearing gracefully large white
chrysanthemum containing the ring.
The dainty flower girls, Elizabeth
Chitty and Sarah Carter, as they
came giving the finishing touches to
the brides path, created quite a
smile from the audience of loveliness
we'll done, and then came the bride,
on the arm of Iher father.
Much work as we'll as artistic taste
was shown in the decorations Of the
church, the effect of pyramids being
carried out in garlands of southern
smilax, intermingled with white chry-
santhemums and asparagus ferns.
At the conclusion Of the church
ceremonies, a largely attended re-
ception was held at the nome OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Rizer. Their home was
tastefully decorated in harmony with
the decorations of the church. Misses
