will put up a first-class job. Tho house

We' would suggest to the Sunda
school superintendents or the good off
cers who have charge of the music i
our Sunday schools, that they road ove
the words of the little songs they teac

GRAY-CHRIIKY.
A beautiful home wedding oceuir
Thursday at high noon, whon Mr. ai
Mrs. S. D. Cherry gave in marriago tin
daughter, Mary Bates, to John Lot
Gray, of Andorson. On account of t
prominence of tho two families tho i
forest of a largo circle of frion
throughout this and other States cc
tercd in tho happy ovont, which eule
nat od io the lifo-long friendship of t
popular young oouplo.
Tho entire lower floor was given ot
to tho accommodation of the largo nu
ber of guests, the ceremony taking pla
in the parlor. Tho bride entered wi
her father, having been precoded by 1
maid of honor, Miss Willio Cherry, t
fair young sister of the bride, and t
groom with his best man, Clarence
Brook, of Andorson. Tho troth w
made before au improvised altar, t
outlines of which were designated
handsome pot plants of ferns and pair
dainty orchids hoing also used in lavi
aud boautiful effect. The couplo Bte
under a hugo love knot of tulle w
delicate groou tracings of ivy. Meudc
soho's wedding tnarob, in tbo skilful
hands of Miss Anna Benediot, was used
for the processional, while Hubenstein'*
melody in F was softly heard during the
ceremony.
The bride was attired in ber going
away, gown, v*hioh waa of a soft gray
material, made princess effect, a fashion
so beoomlug the superb queenly style of
the wearer, with hat to match, tba ele
gant lingerie waist with frenoby touches
of green, completing the exquisite toilet.
The maid of honor was a picturo in a
white uot dross over silk, embroidered
love *:uots being used effectively in thu
trimming. Tho bride oarried a hugo
shower bouquet nf white carnations and
sweet poas, tho maid of honor carrying
an armful of red carnations. A bit of in
teresting history confers in the fact that
the brido wore during the ceremony a
bracelet of rare workmanship, which has
been used on similar occasions for four
generations. This, with the elegant
broaob, a gift from tho groom, being tho
only ornaments worn.
After the ceremony an olaborato h?lfet
luucheon was served in the dining room,
tho decorations of which wore elegant in
their simplicity, red carnations shedding
their delicate perfume from many vases,
used effectively on the bride's table, tho
mantle, etc., while tho soft glow from
shat :d candelabra was effective. Both
in the reception and rear hall lilacs wera
used in great quantities, the same taste
ful arrangement prevailing which char
acterized the decorations throughout the
house. The costly and numerous wed
ding gifts attested silently the popularity
of the couple.
At 1.30 o'clock, amid showers of rice
and other testimonials of good will, tho
bridal oouple boarded tho Southern's
vestibuled train for the extensive wed
ding journey, the details of which are
not known to their friends. After May
1st they will bo at homo to their friondB
in Anderson.
