Mr. William Fletcher Smith and Miss Freelove Henry Jefferies Uni ted in the Holy Bonds of Wedlock. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. YOU ARE INVITED The Presbyterian Church in this city is one of the most beautiful lit tle edifices in the country but it never presented a prettier or more lovely appearance than it did last evening. The occasion was the uniting in the holy bonds of wedlock of Mr. William Fletcher Smith and Miss Freelove Henry Jefferies, two of Gaffney’s most popular young people. At 8:30 o'clock, the hour set fur the cer many, the church was filled with friends and admirers of the young couple and it was hut a moment later that the soft sweet tones from the organ, as Prof. Waller Chambers deftly handled the keys and the de lightful strainsof Mendelssohn's wed ding march of de Koven’s ’’Oh prom ise me,” floated out upon the u ; r and announced the arrival of tiie wedding party. What had previously been a chatter-box now became silent, noth ing save the strains of the music was to be heard as the wedding party pro ceeded down the isle. First in order came the u.-hers—Messrs. C. W. Moorman, William Johnson, Lucian Hopper and Misses Ethel V. Nance, Hessie Dent and Fannie Fort. '1 hose were followed by the attendants on the bridal couple—Mr. Tlios. Drown and Miss Rosa Gaffney, Mr. John Smith and Miss Addie McArthur, Mr. Hope Whyte and Miss Ida E. Wood, Mr. Joe McArthur and .Miss Sarah Jefferies. Next came the little flower girls—Helen Gooding. Daisy Wilkins and Sarah Carpenter—who looked as preGy as could be and acted their parts like veterans. Then came the bride and groom. And ne’er d d bride look more lovely. Attired in a neatfitting and becoming wedding dress of Duchess satin she bore in her hands a boquet of bridal roses and ma ; o!en hair ferns, presenting a pic ture fit for an artist. The crown was artistically caught with orange blos soms and her wealth of golden tresses showed to beautiful effect. The groom was attired Jin the convention al black cutaway and presented a handsome appearance. As the couples came in and ar ranged themselves around the alter which had been decorated with a bank of Spanish moss, palms, ferns, cut liowers and chrysanthemums, every eye became strained to catch a glimpse of the bridal party and every ear was nerved to catch the voice of the Man of God us he pronounced them man and wife. When the Rev. T. M. Dent had concluded the cere mony the Rev. G. E. Robertson in voked devine blessing upon the oc casion, the organ peeled forth Lohengrin’s Bridal March “Fuithfu’ and true,” and the party retired to the home of the grooms parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Smith, corner Race and Johnson streets, where a recep tion and supper was tendered the gay and festive party. The supper was in every respect an ideal one and the evening was most pleasantly spent. It was in the small hours of the approaching dawn when the guests retired to their respective homes. 7 HE COSTUMES. The young ladies composing the bridal party were exceedingly pretty and most becomingly attired. The following is an inadequate description of the costumes: Miss Rosa Gaffney—Point lace over pink silk. Miss Addie McArthur—White or gandie over white taffeta silk. Miss Sarah Jefferies—White organ die over white taffeta silk. Miss Fannie Fort —Point lace over white silk. Miss Hessie Dent—Blue organdie over blue si.’k. Miss Ethel Nance—Pink s’ik, trim med in chiffon lace and ribbon. Miss Ida Wood—Point des speit, trimmed Jin white lace aqd ribbon, over pink taffetas. THE PRESENTS. The presents were numeious and consisted of valuable and costly gold and silver ware and other useful presents suitable for such an occa sion. This was the first church wedding in the city in several years and the occasion will go down as one of the social events in society circles. The young couple have the heart felt wishes of a host of admiring friends who wish them long life and much happiness. Hamrick’s Chill Ton ic. Guaranteed to stop Chills in 1 to 3 days.
