R. Lit tIe, andl Mr. Roderick IT. McDonald, of Columbia, on the evening of the 23 lust, at. the First Pi'esbyterian church of this city. Under the skill .ful supei'visioin of Mrs. W. D. Feirgu eon, assisted by thue bridesmaids and -a few frIends, the church was madec particularly attractive for the occa sion. The decoirations. were simple, consisting of a white background with a profusion of ivy gracefully clinglig to the fimy folds of white cloth that covored the woodwork above and around the altar, back of which had geeni erected a beautiful pyramid of tialms, ferns and other greent pot plants. Arouiid the railing which en circled the choir loft was numbers of lighted wax candles and to the rear of the chancel on either side of the massive pipe organ, were rows of .lighted candles. Above all was sus iiended from the ceiling an arch of filmy' white not, reaching to each side of the choir railing from the center of 'whtch hung a large bouquet of white roses and asparagus ferns; all pro senting a scheme of unrivaled beauty. Long before the hour of the mar aa4 the church was filled with rela tived and friends of the contracting partes. 'Promptly at 6:30 o'clock, 'the e hiln strains of Lohengrin's wedding march under the skillful tuich of Mrs. Luther Roper, heralded the approach of the bridal party. First in order, wore Miss Doroas stOAln and Ut. .lob I4ttl., of Zau rens, marching down opposite aisles of the church, crossing in front of the altar and mounting the platform in front of the organ. Next were Miss Mab61 Wallace, of Greenville, and Mr. Randolph Little, Miss Jennie Mc Donald of Columbia, and Mr. W. W. Ilarris, of Clinton, Miss Linda Thoip son of Anderson and Mr. Harry White of Spartanburg. Miss Mattie Ban Browning of Goldville and Mr. >D. A. Pressly of Columbia. The bridesmaids all wore beautiful dresses alternating in white and pink, fashioned along modish lines, some with lace drapporlos and others drap ed in chiffon, carrying bouquets of carnations tied with white and pink tulle. Following the bridesmaids and groomsmen, came the dame of honor, Mrs. W. D. Ferguson, beautifully and elegantly attired in white lace, mod ish dress over white crepe meteor, embellished 'in pearl trimmings, car rying white carnations. The dame was followed by two maids of honor, Misses Ina 13. Little, sister of the bride, and Miss Nannie Kate Iud gens, both handsomely attired in mo dish dresses of white crepe do chene with trains and carrying bourquet3 of white carnations. Closely following the maids of honor, were first little Isloulse Clardy, the ring bearer, car rying the ring in the heart of a pure, white lily; then the little flower g;iIs, Floride Moore and' Katherine Mong, holding dainty little baskets filled with sweet scented flowers to scatter in the Wath of the bride. The little girls were all beautifully dressed in white lace dresses over pure white silk, and did their part with that childlike -simplicity which always lends interest to a wedding. Lastly entered the bride, handsomely attired in white crepe meteor, with a ion. veil of tulle gracefully adjusted to the head. She wore at her neck :a handsome "bow knot" of pearls, a gift of the groom. She was leaniag on the arm of her brother, Mr. buy .\. Little, who gave her away. They were met at the altar by the groom and his best man, MIr. S. 'T. Pressly. The beautiful and lr ies sive ring ceremony was used by the ofliciating minister, Rev. C. F' Ran kin, pastor of the bride. Mirs. Hour, at the organ , rendered soft, sweet music during the ceremony. the strains of which lent a quiet beauty to the occasion. After the prayer, the strai.11 of ilendelssohn's Wedding MVi'tr! was the signal for their departU.':e from the church. The l-.ridal narty, with o3'y a ftew Intimtate friends and r'at'.vs, e paired to the home of ('apt. and Mr's. Little, where a delightful reception was held. The home had been beau tifully, decorated and was attractive in all of its appointments, but owing to the extreme illness and subsequent death of a near relative only a small reception was held.
