Dr. J. M. Banister, Mr. Sterling S. Lanier, of Birmingham, Ala., to Miss Mary Lou Banister, daughter of the Rector. The bridegroom has a reputation for high moral worth. The bride is one of the brightest and loveliest of Huntsville’s fair daughters. The Church was brilliantly lighted, and the chanc_ beautifully decorated with evergreens, white roses and lilies. The bridegroom was tastefully dressed in black broadcloth, the bride in a dress of pearl white Surah satin en traine, trimmed with clair de lune passenienarie and lace, diamonds, and bead dress of orange blossom wreath and tulle veil, the gentlemen attendants in blackcloth and white had gloves, the bridemaids in white mull muslin. Rev. Stewart McQueen read the exhortation, and Rev. Dr. Banister completed the ceremony. A large number of friends (considering the snow and cold weather) were present. We extend our heartiest congratulations and prayers for the happiness and welfare of the wedded pair. The attendants were John L. Mudd, and Miss Gussie Banister, Frank H. Newman and Miss Daisy Madison, Newton White and Miss Katie Barnard, Robert J. Lowe and Miss Shelby White, Geo. R. Montague and Miss Nettie Campbell, Robt. H. Watkins and Miss Lizzie Chadwick.
