Thames-Nored
   One of the most interesting social events of the season occurred 
last Wednesday evening, the 20th instant, at 4 o'clock, at the 
residence of Mr. D. H. Lee, near Burnt Corn, when the marriage of Mr. 
F. T. Thames and Miss Daisy Nored was solemnized. The nuptials of 
this popular couple has occasioned much pleasant interest for quite a 
while, but only members of both families and a few intimate friends 
were present.  Rev. I. S. Ridgeway officiated.
   The parlors were beautifully decorated in garlands of smilax and 
daisies, and as the bright rays of the evening sun stole in through 
the festooned curtains and fell on the couple, we thought, "blessed 
is the bride the sun shines on."
   The bride was attired in white muslin, with trimmings of 
Valenciennes lace and satin ribbon. She carried an exquisite bouquet 
of feathery ferns and daisies.
   Miss Daisy since her childhood has been loved by all. She was a 
bright and happy school girl, and a young lady lovely and loveable.
   Mr. Thames is one of the foremost young men of the country and 
possesses those qualities of character that insure him the respect 
and affectionate regards of those with whom he is associated.
   They received many nice and useful presents. When the couple made 
their departure the guests gave them a parting salute, which came in 
the way of throwing old shoes and rice after them.  If such customs 
bring luck, this couple will ever have it, for shoes and rice fell 
bountifully over their heads, and they left among the cheers and good 
wishes of all for the home of the groom's mother, where an elegant 
reception was held.
