P. Thames at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Roberson, on the morning of December 7th, at 9 o'clock, was unusually impressive. Seldom has a wedding occurred in this vicinity which has caused more interest or has been more eagerly looked foward to for several months than has this one, owing to the popularity of the fair bride and handsome groom. The morning dawned fair and crisp and the early hour brought the groom to the side of his fair intended, and he gently led her into the midst of the assembled circle of relatives and friends where Rev. I. S. Ridgeway, in a few well chosen words united their hearts as well as hands. The sentiments of all were "how lovely the bride looks in her "going away" costume of seal brown zebeline. Mr. Thames numbers his friends and his acquaintances, and no young man ever rose more rapid in financial affairs than he is doing and a bright future is before him. The bonnie bride, as Miss Callie Roberson, has since childhood been beloved by those who have known her best by her beauty of character, and in her blonde loveliness there is much that indicates her bright kind and artistic nature, which she has justly borne a fair reputation in many respects. Pleasant and full of good wishes were the congratulations heaped upon them as they made their departure for a brief honeymoon to the "Land of Flowres." May their love be as sparkling as the diamond's rays, their happiness as bright as the sunbeams, their days as numerous as the stars of Heaven. EUPHROSYNNE BURNT CORN, ALABAMA.
