Henry-Gibbs. Never, perhaps, in the social history of Monroe has there heen a wedditijj uhieh commanded ei|iia! 'altcnliun with that ol" yes and ay afternoon when Rev. James M. Henry, presiding elder ol' the Crowley district, and Miss Lillian (Jib'bs were united at the First Methodist church by Rev. Fitzgoralds Parker of Nashville, Tenn. The prominence of Rev. Mr. Ilenry in the slate and the sweetness, grace and popularity of the bride combined to make the occasion one of engross'n? interest to the entire community. No cards had heen issued but the handsome church could scarce accommodate the fashionable and rep| resenlative assembly that overflow( , od into the Sunday School room, iill od the center aisle and crowded every inch ol space in I lie great ampiIheat re, exceeding all seating capacity, with standing room almost at a premium. The (hu'orati.iso, artistic, elaborate, transformed the church into a poem in green and white; in this transformation one could recognize refined taste and unusual deftness and art; (he white walls overshadowing the I chancel'gleamed through a tracery of I delicate vines and branches, and thel altar was a bank of giant, palms and ] ferns; vines entwined altar and chan- ! eel railings with charming effect. Three arches were erected in the church, wreathed with bam'bo and bride roses. Over the central arch a wedding bell of white roses was suspended caught with a love knot of white satin ribbon. Above the arches j on either side the letters 'Ml" and "O" were outlined in green and white. A tracery of vines formed a * dado around tin* entire church, the whole effect being strikingly beaut it. fnl and artistic. f Al the hour of four while the great audience wailed, the organ's notes I suddenly filled the air with deep ton- i od harmony and the rich baritone j of Mr. llarry Prop hit caressed the! car" in the exquisite love song: "liecause God Made Thee Mine." When the lasl tender note died on the air the organist's skillful fingers passed into Mendelssohn and down either aisle the ushers led the way to the j altar, Messrs. Philip Chauvin, Edward Flowers, Clyde Sanders and i Joe Austin; separating at the altar t'hey crossed and took position under the arches on cither side. Down the right aisle followed the matron of honor, Mrs. 0, A. llolcombc of Baton Rouge, in a dainty white, organdie and lace, carrying pink roses, and down the left, the maid of I honor, Mi?s Jayne (libbs, in an airy creation of wash chiffon and lace against the snowy whiteness of which the great roses she held shone pink- j iy. ^ From baskets of blue forget-menots two beautiful litle flower girls L preceded tho bride scattering I he azure tinted blossoms, liittle Gcne> viere Washburn and Bernice John' ston. They were pictures of cherubic beauty in white mull over blue j silk and created a sensation with their beauty. The bride, upon whom every eye centered with admiration entered on the arm of her brother, Mr. Fred Gifobs. Never a fairer bride was seen than this, the sofl dark eyes, tho rounded cheek delicately chiseled and (flushed with pink shone radiantly under the enveloping veil of illusion, against the dark hair with drooping lillies of the valley. ITcr gown was an elegant and artistic creation of ma" line over chiffon and taffeta, richly embroidered; she carried an arm bouquet of bride roses and ferns. She was joined at the middle arch by the <?room who entered from the right with his best man, Rev. John Foster, and tho t?wo stood just beneath the L wedding bell, ushers and attendants ' grouped about them, making a picture that will not be easily forgotten. ^ Miss Estello. Conner at the organ changed from tho wedding march to j ( Schubert's Serenade which pulsed I softly on the air while the beautiful j ring ceremony was performed with impressive grace by Rev. Fitzgerald Parker, The reverent, solemnity of tho service impressed tho entire audience. The bridal parly drove at once to the bride's bottle where a buffet J luncheon was served. i'. The bride changed her wedding I dress for a modish traveling suit of I brown cloth trimmed with tan with j hn| and bSoves to match and escorted by the bridal party, showered with t) congratulations, best wishes and rice \> the happy couple took the east bound V. S. & P train for Chattanooga at six o'clock. They will visit Mr. Henry's old home in South Carolina bej foro returning to Now Iberia where I they will reside. i' Tho wedding presents were numer- ( oils and costly, making a display of | * L. , .. . ' : , beauily ami elegance. Ministers from all over tlie statu were assembled i.i honor of the occasion, Among these were Reverends John Foster of Arcadia, 11. \V. May of Watenproof, William Sliuhle of Jackson, Ruibert Winn oi' Minden, Briscoe Carter of Mihden, presiding elder, D. C. Barr of Oak Ridge, Dr. Boggs of Shreveport, T. F. Randall of Eros.

Mr. Jul ward Flowers of Vieksburg, Hov. M. Alliens on the stall' of ilie Now Oralis Picayune, who was a classmate at \'auderbilt of the givom, came up for the wedding which he reported by wire for today's paper. Of the fair bride whom Mr. Henry has won nothing loo fine and loo.elegant could he penned; possessing grace, beauty, Mvcclness and a rare p< rsonal charm ihnt draws every, heart to her, a leader in every good cause that called for volunteers. She was a blessing to this community in which her loss will be keenly felt. If the wishes oL' every one who knew and loved her here could wrest it from fate for her, there would be only perfect happiness and prosperity for her in the new world into which she has stepped.
