O' MUs Bessie Wilson and Air Allred Qannon of Adams Ran Married At the Episcopal church last Wednesday. Editor Press and Standard: ? Adams Ran, Jan. 18.—Of al) the pretty weddings that have taken place in our little Episcopal church, the one which took place last Wednesday is pronounced by all to be the pret- tiest, thereby proving “that last is best” It was perfect in all details, the bride, Miss Bessie Wilson, and the groom, Alfred Gannon, were a very popular couple as was testified by the many guests assembled to witness the plighting of the vows. The decorations were elaborate, and the graceful ropt s of green sus pended from large chandeliers, exten ded across the church and looped over both side doors and elso front door, greatly argumented the beauty of the church, and made it appropri ately lovely There were two arches, and bus pended from one was a lovely horse ■hoe of white japonicas tied with rn immense bow of white satin ribbon. The two arches were festooned with ■milax-and beautiful pink roses, 1 the chancel was filled with lovely palms and ferns, and quantities of crimson japonicas, and right where the bridal couple stood, was fastened to th6 rail ing a lovely spray of pure white ja ponicas tied with dainty white satin ribbon, an index of their young lives. Over all this wildness of beauty, to enhance it, and make it more bewild ering, were numerous candles, and eytra lights—the soft lights, lovely flowers all make a fitting surrounding for the fair young bride—sh—sh— toft music, enter the bride and groom, cynosure of all eyes! The bride was exquisitely dressed in white silk entrained, dainty veil and orange blossoms, and was as a dainty vision of feminine loveliness as was ever won by man, she carried a ■bower bouquet of white carnations. The groom was very handsome, wore regulation suit, of course he was not as attractive as the bride. Tht ceremony was performed by the Rev. L. F. Guerry, the rector aLd every one knows how beautiful our ceremony is and the bridal couple seemed duly impressed with the so lemnity of their vows, and knelt reverently upon a lovely white silk cushion to receive the blessing. Gadsden Morrall of Charleston, of ficiated as best man, and Miss Mar- celine Wilson,-sister of the bride, was maid of honor, she was damtly dressed in blue silk mull, blue hat with long white plumes, and carried a large bouquet of white carnations. This couple were the recipients of many handsome presents too numer ous to mention. Mrs Ada Barnwell opened her house, the reception was held there, but only relatives and a few intimate friends attended it At the wedding were a number of guest from a distance, besides the bridal party we noted; Mr and Mrs Wilson, Dr LaRoche Wilson, Mr and Mrs Ripon Wilson, of Charleston; Dr Kershaw, Mr and Mrs Willie Geraty, Xoungs Island; Mr and Mrs Drowh, Manigault Barnwell, Welton.

The young couple enter upon life’s journey followed by the well wishes of all and that they will find fewer thorns among their orange blossoms than generally falls to the lot of hu manity—that is all one can hope for them—may the day be a type of their future lives. “Happy is the bride that the sun shines on,” may it prove true in your caseBessie. ‘ XXX The Best Eczema Cure. x “I feel like I owe to my fellowrhan this much: For <*even years I bad eczema on my ankle.
