The parlor and hall were artistically decorated for the occasion with holly, smilax and ferns, the color scheme of red and green being carried out, symbolic of the holiday season. Lighted candles gave an added touch of charm and cast a warm glow over the already lovely decorations. Miss Elizabeth Cook sang several numbers, and to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march by Miss Annie Ray Crockett, with violin accompaniment by Mr. Ambrose Lester, the bridal couple entered the parlor with their attendants, Miss Elizabeth Cook, sister of the bride, and Mr. J.T. Lester, brother of the groom, proceeding to the altar, where they were met by Rev. Mr. Robertson who performed the ceremony. The bride is one of Heard county's loveliest young women and her personal magnetism has won for her many friends. Mr. Lester is a worthy representative of an old and prosperous Heard county family. The bridal party left immediately for a short stay witht he bride's sister, Mrs. J.O. Wilson in Roanoke, after which they will return to their home in Liberty.
