BllaviHe, Ga.. May 25.—The wed
ding of Miss Anna Bello McCrory and
Rev. I. E. McKellar, which was sol
emnized at the Methodist church here
last Wednesday evening, was one of
the most briliant affairs that ever
occurred In our little city. The church
in itself was a picture of rare beauty
with its decorations of trailing smilax,
palms and ferns. Just in rront of tbe
altar a canopy of green had been erect
ed and suspended from this were large
white wedding bells. Bowers of gra
were hung over the aisle and the same
decorations were used in the cho'r
stand.
Just preceding the entrance of the
bridal party .Miss Lucy Baldwin sweet
ly sang "All For Yon." Miss Susie
Beckham charmingly played Mendels
sohn's wedding march whlde the brl
day party entered. First the ustysrs,
Messrs. Chester and Edwards Mc
Crory, brothers of the bride, and then
the attendants, who were misses Imo-
gene Sears, Mae Cannon, Bobble Royal
and Claire McKellar, Messrs. C. C.
Baggs, W. P. McCrory, D. E. Land and
H. T. Freeman.
Miss Janie Dell McCrory was maid
of honor.
The groom entered with his best
man, Mr. T. -A. Barrow, of Pelham.
The bride entered, looking radiant
ly happy, with her father. Col. C. A.
McCrory.
Under the canopy of green the bri
dal party stood while Rev. Chas. Jen
kins, assisted by Rev. R. E. Bailey,
pronounced the magic words that
