WEDDING AT ADAMS RUN.
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
â– hoe of white japonicas tied with rn
immense bow of white satin ribbon.
The two arches were festooned with
â– 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
â– 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 credit of the beautiful artistic
work in the church, tip labor of lov
ing hands and devised by devoted
friends in honor of the popular bnde
making her wedding the memorable
one hi the annals of Adams Ron his
tory, crowning it with success, mak
ing it a thing of beauty which is
V which it dot to Mis
Rumph and Misses Leila LaRoche,
MaroelineWilsou andAmjFitzSimoos;
but who woufil have expected other
wise, with such an active corps of
workers and such a general!
_ It is all over silence has fallen upon
our village, the last rumble of the
buggy wheels has died away, nothing
remains butthe flowers wasting their
beauty on desert air darkness settles
down and the wedding is numbered
with events that have passed.
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.

shines on,” may it prove true in your

Letter From lion. W. C. Brant.*
Editor Press and Standard: I de
sire to give to the readers of your
paper a detailed account of my trip
to the Southern Cotton Convention
which was held on the 11th and
13th of January, 1900, in New'
Orleans, but time will not permit my
doing so just now. I will do so when
I get back from the legislature.
The meeting was one of the most
interesting that I have ever attended
of any kind. Everything was har
monious, and many resolutions
passed of great importance to the
South. The price of cotton was fixed
at fifteen cents for the remaining
portion of the crop of 1905, that is on
hand unsold. * The convention re
commended that holders of spot cot
ton stand pat for fifteen cents.
The convention further recom
mends that no man hold for any
higher price than fifteen cents per
pound.
Hold your cotton. We are sure to
get fifteen cents if we stand by the
association.
Let every man in Colleton county
stand up for bis rights. Help to
make the fight. Victory is for the
South. Diversify your crops. Don’t
plant over ten acres of cotton to the
horse. Prepare your lands now
Make all the compost you can. Don’t
depend on so much commercial fer
tilizer. Ufe good seed. Pus'll the
plough and success will be yours.
Don’t forg:t to stand by the asso
ciation. You are needed. Its not
my work but our work.
