My friend,!t is now the most modern

time in which much is expected of ev

is time for us all to make the the best

a time in which we shall never live
over again, and every moment idled
away is that much time lost forever.for
every minute bath its duties to be per
formed. It is time for us each to re
solve to do our duty and make the good
old world better by our having lived
in it, and then reeeive our reward
when time shall be no more

he chanct .ook their places in the
extreme left and right ol the pulpit.
In like manner the bride's maids and
groom's men entered opposite aisles,
crossed in front of the chancel, and
formed a semi-circle facing the con
gregation, the bride's maids'a step in
advance and opposite their attending
?wains. The attendants were Miss

Misses Sallie Lou Watson and Lula

The bride entered with her sister,
Miss Alice, the maid of honor, and the

The ceremony was performed by
Bishop Duncan, a great-uncle of the
bride. The bride's gown was of white
organdie and her bouquet was white

The church was tastefully decorated

After the ceremony there was a re
ception held for the bridal party at the
brides home, at which a delightful
sapper was served. The presents were
many, beautiful and useful.
