Liberty Hill, Sept. i9.?A marriage of State-wide interest on account of the prominence and popularity of the contracting parties was that of Miss Sadie Edwards Richards, of Liberty Hill, and Thomas Patterson McCrae, of Denmark, solemnized at the home of tne bride's father, John G. Richards, on Thursday evenin e- at. 8:20 o'clock. Never was the old Southern home with its long piazzas and its large, spacious parlors more beautiful. The entire lower floor was thrown together, and Southern smilax was draped in great profusion from the walls and ceilings. Here and there graceful ferns and tall stately palms served to transform the halls, parlors and dining room into a veritable fairyland. At the sound of the first notes of Mendelssohn's wedding march, ren-i dered by Miss Frank Richards, of Lib- j erty Hill, Dr. C. M. Richards, uncle, of the bride, and pastor at Davidson I college, entered the front parlor and stood ready to perform the ceremony. The bridesmaids, Misses Bethy, Rekah and Margaret Richards, sisters of tho bride: Miss Julia McCrae. sis-! ter of the bridesgroom, and Missj Marguerita Tolbert, of Laurens, de-j scended the stairs and took their places about the improvised altar. Their dresses were of white organdie and net with satin girdles and they carried large bouquets of Killarneyi roses, tied with pink tulle. The maid; of honor, Miss Keturah Richards, sis- \ ter of the bride, entered alone. She. wore a lovely gown of net and satin, over pink. The little ring bearer,! Jean Richards, carried the ring in! the heart of a beautiful white rose. Just preceding the bride came the two flower girls, Jane Leighton Richards, of Davidson college, and Elizabeth Jennings, of Winnsboro. They scattered flowers from baskets in the path of the bride, who entered on the arm of her father and was given in J marriage to the bridegroom at the) altar, where he met her with his best! man, Dr. Walter B. Gillam, of Den-j mark. The bride was a vision of; loveliness in her bridal gown of white chiffon, taffeta and silk net, the skirt j made short and full with tunic. A: dainty wreath of orange blossoms held her filmy veil in place. The bridal bouquet, a shower of bride roses and orange blossoms, completi ed her toilet. Standing under an arch of green; and white, from which a large wed- : ding bell was Suspended, the bride and bridegroom made their vows. Immediately following the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Richards gave a: brilliant reception to about 100 guests. Mrs. Virginia Clarke, of Camden, and Mrs. R. C. Workman, of Greenville, received the guests in the dining room, where Misses Virginia and Mildred Richards and Miss Haile served a salad course.
