From the prominence of the bri ’e and her family the wedding Thurs day evening of Miss Lottie Ander son to Mr. Frank Pruden, of Dal ton, would have been an event ft aught with untold interest to Cartersville. But the personality of this young woman attracted to her nuptial eve the more tender sentiment of friendship and friend ship’s offeung to bless her life’s union and to fill with the incense of sweet memory the home which she has left. Oh this same evening, June 15th, twenty-four years ago, the bride’s parents were married. , At 8 o’clock the guests began to assemble at the First Presbyterian church, where for half an hour Mrs. G. H. Aubrey, who presided at the organ, rendered a beautiful musical program. Promptly at 8:30 o’clock the first not,es of the ever-old, ever new Mendelssohn were sounded. Just previously the ushers had escorted to their seats the families of the bride and groom, including Mrs, Anderson, Mrs. W. H. Pruden, Dalton; Mrs Stephens, Mrs. Chas Pruden, Rome; Mis. Bryant, Dal tor; Mrs. Smith, Cleveland, Tent:.; Mr. aud Mrs. Cooper, Murphy, N. C.; Mrs. E. T. Harrison, Mr. Wade Harfison, Bradley, S. C.: Mrs. Durst, Greenwood, S. C.; Mrs. Hoyt, Rome; Mr. and Mrs. Henry Milner, Harold Dwell , Mrs. Chas. Stratton, Atlanta. The processional was Messrs. Frank Reynolds, J. S. Calhoun, Rufus Powell aud Will Dupre as ushers, who led the bridal party to the altar; Misses Lucy Maddox, Dalton: Mattie Lu bmith, Cleve land, Tenn.; Mrs. B. Logan Vaugh an. maids: Mrs. J. Leak Spencer, Charlotte, N. C., as matron of honor and Miss lola Baker, of Ma con, as maid of honor; the bride, escorted by her father, Mr. J. P. Anderson. Up the left aisle came the groomsmen, Messrs. Louis Crawford, Mac Hardwick, Frank McCutchen. of Dalton, and B. Lo gan Vaughan, followed by the groom and his best man. Mr. Sam Carter, of Carter’s Quarter. Rev. R. B. Headen, of Rome, who also officiated as celebrant at the wedding of the bride’s parents, was in waiting at the altar with the pastor, Rev. W. A. Cleveland, to give the benediction. Grouped about the altar, which was beautiful iti its dress of green, with dozens of candelabra holding lighted tapers, artistically placed, this wedding party presented a brilliant picture. As the two for whom the mo ment meant so much came to a pause, the subdued strains of “Oh, promise me,” mingled with the sacred words. This, with the ear nestness of the vows exchanged, made one feel that marriage was indeed a solemn rite. After the benediction, however, the joyful notes of Lohengrin’s wedding march rang out, and the bride at and groom, all smiles, led the bridal party from the church, the attend ants passing down the left aisle in copples. The bride was lovely in her bii dal robe of chiffon cloth, molded by the artist’s skill, with trimming of seed pearls aud duchesse lace. Her only jewel was the gift of the groom, an exquisite heart of pearls, in the center of which flashed a fletir-deNlys of diamonds. The softness of illusion envel oped her figure with the orange spray as the veil clasp. Such was the toilet of a rarely sweet bride, whose face was radiant yet modest, the glo’w of cheek reflecting the pride and happiness in the eyes of the groom. The maids wore elaborate gowns of silk and net. with pink girdles, and carried bouquets of pink sweet peas. Mrs. Spencer, the matron of honor, who is a bride of two months, wore her wedding gown of white olga crepe and carried pink roses. Miss Baker, the maid of honor, wore a pretty fashioned frock of white silk, and her flowers were La France roses. The bride’s souvenirs to her at tendants were dainty wreaths of pink roses, which they wore in their low-coiled hair. The groom’s gifts to the gentlemen were stick pins with opal setting. The bridal party preceded the guests to the home, wnere Mr. and Mrs. Anders-n were to entertain two hundred or more of their CONCLUDED ON STH PAGE HUT WEATHER NECESITIES.
