THURSDAY, APRIL 30.
Marriage of Miss Pearce and
Mr. Marion Symms
It has been long since there has been
solemnized at First Baptist church a
more beautiful marriage than that last
night of Miss Claudia Rochelle Pearce
and Mr. Marion Stovall Symms, wh eh
occurred at nine o’clock in the presence
of a large and interested throng of
friends that taxed the seating capacity
of the spacious church. The magnificent
church was flooded with the brilliant
light from the hundreds of lights which
radiate from ceiling to dome and the en
tire pulpit was one mass of glowing light
and exquisite bloom. The church was
carpeted in white and adorned with
many slender graceful palms which were
placed from the front doors up the cen
tral aisle to the pulpit, arching their
vernal loveliness and forming an aisle
of green through which the wedding
guests passed. The pulpit was banked
with slender palms caught with garlands
of filmy tulle, while gold baskets hold
ing fragrant Easter lilies were placed on
white pedestals ahout the pulpit. The
baptistry was adorned with delicate cur
tains of tulle against which were placed
garlands of smilax and haske.ts of lilies,
the choir loft was wreathed in garlands
of smilax and high above all was su
spended a chime of pure white wedding
bells.
Tall single candlesticks held unshaded
candles and many branched brass can
delabra formed apexes of light about
the pulpit the top of which was framed
in a row of glittering candles.
Midway up the central aisle under the
center arch of palms were placed gates
of smilax and white blossoms, the one
note of color in the decorations being an
airy bow of-yellow tulle which caught
the garlands together at the top.
Mr. Thompson presided at the organ
and Miss Mertel Black with the violin,
entertained the large audience of guests
with delightful musical selections pend
ing the arrival of the bridal party, which
entered to the strains of Logengrinn's
wedding march. First came the two
small pages. Master Charlie Sibley and
Master Allen Symms, who wore white
linen suits and who entered together
opehing the gates and holding them ajar
for the bridal party. The ushers, Mr. H.
M. Coleman, of Atlanta, with Mr. George
Schmidt and Mr. Fabian Agrell with
Mr. Howard Walker first entering, ad
vanced to the pulpit and awaited the en
trance of the maids who entered alone.
Miss Virginia Coleman, of Culverton, en
tering first, was followed by Miss Minnie
Duncan. Miss Myrtle McGinty next ad
vancing was followed by Miss Callie
Pickett of Union Springs, Ala., little
Carrie Duncan Winter, the dainty little
ring-bearer, who entered alone carrying
a gold basket filled with yellow roses
and an Easter lily, in the heart of which
was the two rings used in the cere
mony.
Miss Maud Hack, as maid of honor di
rectly preceded the bride who entered
with her father, Mr. Edward Pearce and
was met at the altar by the groom who
entered with his brother, Mr. Ernest
Symms and met the bride at the altar

where the ceremony was impressively
performed by Dr. Ashby Jones in a
manner peculiarly his own.
Never has the lovely young bride been
prettier than in her wedding gown of
soft white crepe charmeuse fashioned
with a tunic from which fell a flounce
of lace and the bodice being formed en
tivdy of pearl embroidered chiffon and
delicate lace. The long court train was
held in place just above the waist-line
with a butterfly of pearls from which
depended dainty cascades of delicate
lace. Crowning the hair was a wreath
of natural orange blossoms from which
the veil, worn off the face, fell. Her
flowers were bride roses showered with
valley lilies.
The maids all wove beautiful gowns of
white charmeuse with lace tunics and
bodices finished with brilliants and
bandeaux of brilliants and all carried
showers of white sweetpeats caught with
yellow tulle.
The maid of honor was very lovely in
a yellow crepe meteor and yellow chif
fon with trimmings of gold lace. Her
slippers were gold and her flowers a
shower of white sweetpeas caught with
yellow tulle.
Aftev the ceremony the bridal party
left the church in reverse order, the
pages going first however, and again
holding the gates.
After the church ceremony about an
hundred and twenty-five friends were
entertained at the Peavce home on
Woodlawn avenue, which was beauti
fully adorned for this auspicious occa
sion. The entire lower suite was given
over to the guests and adorned with a
profusion of fragrant flowers. In the
drawing room where the young couple
received congratulations there was a
profusion of staely EasteV lilies and
bride roses effectively used with delicate
ferns and house palms. In the library
and living room across the spacious
flower-decked hall, there were hundreds
of fragrant flowers used in all their
varying loveliness, but it was in the din
ing-room that the heighth of avtistic
perfection was attained in the decora
tions which carried out the bridal tones
of white and yellow. Mantel and buf
fet. stands and cabinets, were banked
with white roses and whitA sweetpeas
massed In low flat bowls, and filling cut
glass vases. The large round table at
which the bridal party was seated was
simply exquisite. A handsome cloth of
cluny lace was used for a cover In the
ccntVe of which was a mirror-laked
edged with delicate fronds of fern and
yellow flowers over which fluttered yel
low gauze jeweled butterflies. In the
centre was a handsome silver vase fill
ed with bride roses and sweetpeas. Crys
tal candlesticks held gleaming candles
shaded with yellow rose shades and at
each guests’s place was a tiny gold bas
ket to the handle of which was caught
by a bow of yellow ribbon, a cluster of
sweetpeas. the baskets being filled with
daffodil bon-bons and containing the sou
venirs for the attendants, for the maids,
gold wishbone brooches, and foV the

The place cards were cupids swinging in
yellow rose garlands. The cakes and
confections were all in the yellow daf
fodils and the ices were served as Eas
ter lilies. The lights of the chandelier
above were shaded by yellow tulips and
the entire chandelier envelo-pd in a mist
of yellow tulle through which the light
filtered down in a Vadiantly lovely sun
shiny effect. The entire upper hall was
given over to the display of the ele
gant gifts sent this poular young couple
and amid the many elegant things that
spoke so eloquently of their popularity,
was an elbgant gold meat platter for
the First Baptist Sunday school and a
beautiful table cloth of Japanese linen
sent by the bride's class, the Little Sun
beams.
Punch was served all during the even
ing by Bessie Duncan and Miss Perrett,
who wearing lovely gowns of yellow chif
fon, presided over the punch bowl which
was placed at one end of the l**oad piaz
za and which was served from a well the
depths of which were lighted by the
softened glow from a Japanese lantern.
Mrs. Thomas Rabb had charge of tho
bride’s book in which the guests regis
tered, and Bearden’s orchestra furnished
delightful music all during the evening.
During the evening the bride changed
her gown for a becoming tailored suit
of blue poplin with hat to match and
accompanied by the most cordial of good
wishes Mr. and Mrs. Symms left for a
trip through Florida. On their return
they will make their home at the Pearce
home where they will have a beautiful
apartment already prepared and furn
ished for housekeeping.
As the bride descended the stairs on
the way to the carriage she tossed her
bouquet Into the group of girls in the
lower hall, Miss Callie Pickett catching
it with attendant omen.
Mrs. Symms is the only daughter of
Mr. and rsM. Edward Pearce and is a
young woman who possesses a rare
charm that has made her most popular
with 'both women and men. She is of
the lovely fair brunette type with soft
brown eyes and a wealth of dark hair, a
graceful figure and a very gracious
manner and a loyalty of nature which
makes a once-made-friend, a friend for
ever.
Mr. Symms. who is the second son of
the Mrs. George Symms, is one of Au
gusta’s best known young men, one o'
Augusta’s most ardent boosters and
most enthusiastic church workers and
it was due to his untiring efforts that
the Sunday School Bally for the past two
years, was such a success. In the busi
ness world be has also met with mafke’d
success and his friends come from all
the walks of life, friends who have been
gained by his unfailing kindness, his
sympathetic interest In their joys and
happinesses and his general superior
qualities.
PLAY TO BF. GIVEN BY THE
NORTH AUGUSTA HIGH SCHOOL.
The senior class of the Schultz
High School has dramatized Galth
and Lynette from Tennyson's Idylls
of the King, and will present it with
the assistance of other pupils on Fri
day evening, May Ist, for the benefit
of the library. The play endeavors
to give us a picture of the old Arhtu
rian times of the valor and chivalry
of the height, the beauty and courage
of the women.
For those who may have forgotten
the poem we shall indicate the plot.
Gaieth, the hero, has so great a
wish to join Arthur’s knighthood, in
accordance with a condition his
mother made, he goes to the court
disguised as a tiller of the soil, and
takes service as a kitchen-knave. The
mother never dreamed that he would
go under such conditions, but finding
that he did so, she sends a messenger
releasing him from his promise. The
king then, at his entreaty, promises
to keep his name bidden, and to
grant him the first quest. Presently
Lynette, a lady of high lineage,
ushers into the court and asks for a
knight to cope her quest and release’
her sister who has been imprisoned
in a castle by four lawless knights.
Lynette at first is extremely indig
nant that the king send on her quest,
as she thinks, a kitdhen-knave.
Gaieth, however, pursues the quest,
with results that shall be revealed in
the play. ,vc think that all who
come will enjoy it.

WOMAN REFUSES
OPERATION
Tells How She Was Saved
by Taking Lydia £. Pink*
ham’s Vegetable
Compound.
Logansport, Ind. “My baby was
over a year old and I bloated till I was
this I refused. I
told my husband to get me a bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound and I would try it before I would
submit to any operation. He did so and
1 improved right along. I am now doing
all my work and feeling fine.
“I hope other suffering women will try
your Compound. I will recommend it
to all I know.” — Mrs. Daniel D. 11.
Davis, 110 Franklin St.,Logansport,lnd.
Since we guarantee that all testimo
nials which we publish are genuine, is it
not fair to suppose that if Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has the
virtue to help these women it will help
any other woman who is suffering in a
like manner?
If you are ill do not drag along until
an operation is necessary, but at once
take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound.
Write to Lydia E. Plnkham
Medicine Co., (confidential) Lynn,
Mass. Your letter wil be opened,
read and answered by a woman
and held in strict confidence.
If the bottle doesn’t
look like this, don’t
take it—it isn’t
