Miss Elizabeth Folk Hollings worth and Mr. William Simpson Anderson Mar ried at Bride's Home. Thi ancestral home of Mr. and Mrs;'D. B. Hollingsworth was the scentf'of a brilliant wedding Wed nesday evening. At eight-thirty o'clock their youngest daughter, Elizabeth Folk Hollingsworth, was given in marriage to William Simp son Anderson of Leesburg, Fla. With'its long and spacious piazzas that should be measured or spoken of in terms of yards rather than feet, tais ideal country retreat is a typical home of the old south. De parting from the usual custom, that of holding the marriage ceremony in the parlor, their troths were plighted on one of the piazzas of the borne which was as roomy as a pavilion. Here as well as in the parlor, halls and dining-room of the 1'ome the hands of artists wrought a complete transformation. Smilai;'was draped in such great profusion from the ceiling and wall rand entwined about the numerous columns as to make the guests-feel that they had been trans ported';to fairyland. As the guests were awaiting the appointed hour, sweet strains from the rJarlor fell upon their ears, Miss Fannie Sheppard presiding at the pianby-with violin accompaniment byMiss?losela Parker. Aftei playing "A Perfect Day," Lohengrin's wed ding march was sounded and the bridal party came upon the scene giving:-, ad deo beauty to this fairy land. Dr. E. Pendleton Jones, the officiating minister, emerged from the parlor and took a position just in front of graceful palms and ferns that were embanked against the wall. a;;d two little ribbon girls, Cinnie 'irunson and Lois Dobson, entered,the main piazza from a side piazr^^ the north and two other iVbb-j^t?s^?iTtt?ra- King-and'Jone Nicholson, entered from the side piazza to the south, these being fol lowed by the attendants, the couples entering alternately from the side piazzas; Diomede Hollingsworth and Miss Fannie Sewell, Lock Wil liams, of Leesburg, Fla., and Miss Mae Tompkins. Next came the matron of honor, Mrs. W. D. Al len, a sister of the bride, and the dame of honor, Miss Adelaide Bell of Prattville, Ala., a college friend of the bride. Master George Ed ward Sheppard, the ring bearer, was followed by little Elizabeth Nich olson, who scattered rose petals in the pathway of the bride. The bride was accompanied by her brother, John Hollingsworth, and the groom was accompanied by his brother, T. W. Anderson, as best man. During the ceremony, thc ring ceremony being used, Miss Sheppard and Miss Parker played "Somewhere a Voice is Calling" in soft notes. The bride and groom made their vows beneath a large silver crescent and three stars, this being a replica of the bride's Sorority or college soci ety pin. From this beautiful em blem green tulle was draped to the columns and ceiling,the effect being altogether pleasing. The bride carried a pr-ewer bou quet of bride's roses and the brides maids' bouquets of yellow and white. The bride was lovely in her rich gown of chiffon embroidered in silver and the waist wasembroidered in pearls and lace handed down from her paternal grandmother. Her veil was arranged with drapery of orange blossoms and a baudeau of lace from the bridal dress of her paternal grandmother. Her going away dress was of old blue em broidered in white and green How ers and leaves. Her hat was sailor shape with hand-embroidered band to match the suit. After the conventional shower of congratulations and goud wishes the guests leisurely passed into tho south parlor where the bridal gifts were arranged on large tables. One seldom sees anywhere a greater or richer variety of silver, cut glass, hand-painted china, cutlery, and paintings than those presented by admiring friends and loved ones to these widely beloved jouiiir.people. Among the <rifu was a letter, from thc president of tho bank ol' which the groom, Mr. Anderson, is cashier in Leesburg, to which was attached a check for SIOU.UU as a gift from stockholders and directors of the bank.

In addition to the chandeliers in the halls and parlors numberless candles shed their light here and over the long piazzas. At the conclusion of the repast, the bride tossed ber beautiful bou quet among tue eager bridesmaids and, despite the desperate efforts and struggle of the others to get possession of the coveted prize, it feil into the outstretched arms of Miss Faunie Sewell, a cousin of the bride.

Peas are ripe, and some have been gathered. Cotton is opening fast. Some fodder has been pulled and hay cut. We have had a very short rest this summer. By the time we finished plowing we commenced to gather. Two pretty homes are rapidly go ing up for H. A. Adams and John G. McKie, ET. Christian of Parks ville directing the work. J. 0. Marshall is moving his store, which will give his wife a pretty front and side yard. She is thinking of giving the young peo ple a tennis court on part of it. She is always ready to give the boys and girls pleasure. We were delighted with the agri cultural meeting at Modoc last week, under the management of Clemson college. They sent us some good speakers. I am sure it is going to do good. They told us to quit killing this Bermuda grass trying to grow cotton. Said for us to put good fences around it and cover the hills with beef and dairy cattle. Told about the many creameries that were going up all over the State, and the good price cream was bringing all the time. Advised us not to buy cotton-seed hulls-they were not worth over *2.00 per ton-but to grow pea hay and velvet beans. Told of one man in the upper part of the State that built a large barn and cut four win dows. He planted a velvet bean at each window, and when they began to grow he opened the windows and let the vines run in and in a short while the barn was full of nice hay for his cattle. We had a good crowd out at Sun day school. We had good singing ami a splendid collection; ' We werfe"1 glad to have so many visitors pres ent, about ten in number.
