Seldom has it been the privilege of a Laurens audience to witness a scene of such rare beauty and simple ele gance. The church had been beautifully, but simply decorated for the eventful occasion, with a wealth of palms, ferns and bagonlas around the pulpit and altar. Projecting out several feet from the altar was arranged with ( harming effect four white ivy trained columns, suspending from one to the other were arches of white net and ivy. From the center arch was sus pended tht! large, emblematic wedding bell, under which the bride and groom stood and "plighted their troth." .Mak ing altogether a scene of such loveli ness, that "The words of the spirit that breathed o'er Eden", seemed pe culiarly appropriate for this happy culmination of a long, sweet dream. Long before the hour for the cere mony, the spacious church was tilled to overflowing. When at last the thrill ing strains of Memtellsohn's Wedding March under the skillful touch of .Mrs. Luther Roper foretold the approach of the wedding party. When the doors opened the ufjhers Misses Dorothy Hudgens, Carolyn Roper, Sarah Heidi and Brucie OwlngS, four pretty young misses, Sunday School pupils of the bride, beautifully dressed In snowy white with blue and pink sashes, al ternately, each carrying pretty bou quets of carnations, entered from the opposite isles, marching down and taking their resflpcttve places around tln'tiHaf.

Following the maid of honor was two pretty little Mower girls, little Sarah ^Catherine Barksdale and little Sarah Eliza Swygert, both dressed in dainty white with -pssessories of blue and pink sashes, carrying on their arm beautifully decorated little bas kets of flower's to strevfein the pathway of the bride, each performing their part with consummate ease and adding much to the pretty tableau around the altar. Lastly entei^gtl the bri.'/.on (lie arm of her brother, Mr. J*~?j2. Bramlett. who gave her away, s'lie was hand somely attired In a charming dress of silk. Eaolcon, Mediterranean blue, u^Chnrlolt Cordee' model, the bodice was mutifully trimmed with :i (issuel of band embroidered.? silk1* cord, the skirt in hand embroidered TuniC*egecl She wore a handsome hat of same col or with exquiidte blue willow plume, j The bride carried on her arm a lovely louquet of brides roses and Hilles of the valley, tied with white tulle. From the opposite door entered the groom on the arm of bis best man. Mr. Augustus Mnhaffey, meeting the bilde at the altar, where after an impres sive ceremony, the two were made one. The party inarched out by the sweet strains of Lohengrin's March, after which the happy couple, accompanied by a few relatives and friends repaired to the home of the grooe. ./?ther In the upper section of the county to spend n pleasant evening.
