May-May Wedding.

May-May Wedding.
A great community interest has
|centered around the marriage Of
Miss Margaret May who from her in
fancy has been known and loved in
our town, having that peculir position
enviable and much to be desired of
having lived in Edgefed all her life
and having been the descendant OF
two of Edgefeld's most honored fam
lilies, those who bore distinctive and
high characteristics. Her friends were
interested and pleased that she had
chosen one who bore her own name
and was distantly related, thus re-
newing the relationship which the
passing years might have gradually
obliterated between these members
of the family who had many years
ago become residents of the land of
flowers.
Miss May is te only child of Mr..
and Mrs. C. E. May, and from her
earliest years was a very promising
student and led her classes through
the graded and high school, and grad
uating with distinction at the Green
vile Woman's College. She is accom-
plished as a pianist and vocalist and
was organist in the Baptist church
from time to time. Since graduating
she was ambitious to be OF service to
the world and for two years taught
successfully, one year in Georgia
and the present year in Edgefeld.
1t is with regret that the news was
announced that Miss Margaret would,
after her marriage, become resi-
dent of Florida, but if zone of the
name is as good as the same" we are
sure she will fall into good hands and
will enjoy her new environment.
The Marriage.
Thursday evening at 9 o'clock, a
very large and interested assemblage
of people gathered at the Baptist
church to witness the marriage cere-
mony. AS they entered they were
greeted by the romantic and soulful
tones Of the pipe organ than which
lno musical instrument is more appro-
pirate for a wedding. At the organ
Professor G: H. Schaefer Of Green
issiiIs, i:sisis asector Of Music Of the Green
vile Woman's College, presided. He
had been selected for this service, and
the people of Edgefeld were indeed
fortunate and honored to have him.,
because for four years he had been
Miss Mays instructor in music in
Greenville, and he manifested his
appreciation of her by being present
on this occsaion. We hardly believe
he would nave easily come for any
other. The following musical program
was given by Professor Schaefer:
Allegro, from Sonata in c minor,
Guillnant.
Nocturne in E Flat, Chopin.
Gavotte from "Alignon," Thomas.
Intermezzo, Rogers.
Ofertoire, Weley.
Canzonetta, Goring Thomas.
March, Clarence Eddy.
Three vocal selections were given
by Mrs. Brown Mahon, who is beau
tiful blonde bride with a bewitching,
coquettish voice. She sang, "God
Bless You, Dear," "The Greatest
Wish in the World" and 20, Promise
Me-"
The Edgefeld Baptist church has
been the scene Of many beautiful
weddings, but this was one of the
most tasteful and lovely of them all.
The decorations were artistic in the
extreme, the colors being pink and
white. The spaces everywhere were
covered with white canvass, making
background for the lacey and deli
cate asparagus which gave the church
the appearance of fairyland. From all
appropriate positions hung garlands
of white tulle and pink roses in such
graceful effect that one might have
believed it was the work of nature.
But the artists VINO performed this
labor of love knew that it is the pur-
