I The marriage on last Thur?day I evening of Dr. Perry Haskell Shealy and Miss Mary Catherine Derrick was one of the prettiest affairs that has been witnessed in this county for some time. The large family connections and the extreme popularity as well as the sterling worth of the parties, contributed to the widespread interest, which arose a few weeks ago when the invitations were issued and which reached its happy fulness Thursday evening when, at 7:30 o'clock the ceremony was solemnized in Luther Chapel Church, Leesville. The decorations in the church were elaborate in their simplicity, but rarely has a more artistic setting given ; beauty to such an occasion. The altar and pulpit were gracefully en twined with evergreens and holly, and a hnndred small candles arranged | amid the the decorations gaye their shimmering rays to the picturesque scene. A large bell hnng within the altar with streamers of white emanating from its support. Long before the appointed hour, the church was filled to its capacity, and promptly at 7:30 the beautiful strains of Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" announced the entrance of the party. The officiating minister, the Rey. S. C. Ballentine, entered upon the arm of Mr. F. H. Hendrix, who were followed by the ushers, Messrs. E. P. West and W. E. Crosson. The flower girls, the little Misses Hendrix and Etheredge, strewed white chrysanthemums and ferns in the path of the bride and ormnm tuhn arivanned tn the altar. where the impressive marriage ceremony of the Lutheran church was performed. Immediately at the conclusion of the ceremony, the party hastened to the depot where the bride and grcom left on the north-bound train. The bride wore a handsome tailored suit of brown with hat, gloves and shoes to match. Miss Es9ie Efird, of Lexington, rendered the music for the occasion and gave quite beautiful and varied selections just before the arrival of the party. The bride is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Derrick, of Leesj ville, and her many lovable traits have long endeared her to her numerous friends there. The groom is a popular young dentist of Lexington who, by his sterling German qualities, has made for himself, not only a large professional acquaintance, but by his affable and pleasant disposition has gained for himself an enviable social prominence.
