solid back-ground of green ferns.
The front reception hall was elabor

ers, tall vases of cream roses lending
their beauty and fragrance. Dark red
chrysanthemums and red roses were
used in the sitting room, the combina

tiful decoration for the mantel.
The dining room, where the bride's
table was placed, was a vision of
beauty, with the soft glow of pink
tapers, delicate ferns, masses of pink
roses and chrysanthemums.
The bride’s table had for Its center
a bank of pink roses, above
which pink candles in silver candela
bra cast their yellow glow. Large
bows of pink tulle, handsome cluny
mats, delicate tracery of green ferns,
cut glass dishes, bon-bons In pink and
green, formed a beautiful effect to the
table, about which was seated a con

perhaps $3,500, with no Insurance.
This property was owned by S. R.

Church Wedding a Beauti
ful One.
About no recent wedding has more
interest centered than that of Miss
Julia Clotilde Littlejohn and Dr. J. K.
Hair, which was solemnized yesterday
at high noon. The sweetness and
beauty of the gentle bride, who is the
beloved daughter of Judge and Mrs.
Zera A. Littlejohn, and the wide fam
ily and social connection In this and
other places has made the event one
of much prominence and note.
The chancel of the beautiful Meth
odist church was banked with stately
palms and ferns, and along tho rail of
the organ loft above Southern smllax
was gracefully entwined.
Prof. Ellis McNeil rendered a de
lightful musical program prior to the
arrival of the wedding party, and the
tender love song, “I Love You Truly,
Dear," was sweetly sung by Miss
Buchanan and Mr. Poole.

There was no Insurance upon tho
Sims property, valued at $2,500. The
dwellings burned were probably In

two hours ere Its was controlled.

a shower bouquet of bride roses tied
with white gauze, came slowly down
to the altar, accompanied by her
maid of honor, Miss Carter of Rich

Miss Carter was gowned In a gold

and wore a big black picture hat. She
carried an armful of golden chrysan

To the jubilant bridal chorus from
Lohengrin, the party passed from tho
church and were driven directly to
the Seaboard station, where they took
the train to Florida.
