                                   Hymeneal.
                                     _____

  At the Baptist church of our sister town, Shiloh, in the presence of a large 
concourse of friends and relatives of the contracting parties, the nuptials of 
Mr. Lee Goyne and Miss Etta Heard were celebrated last Sunday morning.

  Promptly at ten o'clock Miss Ethel Robinson rendered the sweet strains of the 
wedding march, and the bridal party entered the church. Misses Genie Sterling and 
Mattie Lou Moore bridesmaids, looking beautiful in immaculate white, and Dr. J. G. 
Taylor and Mr. Young Fuller groomsmen, preceded the b[r]idal couple down the left 
aisle of the church. Two beautiful little flower girls - Jennie Preaus and Ruth 
Fuller - walked immediately before the betrothed pair, strewing their path with 
roses. Lastly came the bride and groom, and took their places beneath a large 
and handsome wedding bell of roses and evergreens, before Hymen's altar, where 
Rev. J. V. B. Waldrop, of Spearsville, pronounced the solemn and sacred ceremony 
that united them in the holy bonds of wedlock. Sweet strains of music again pealed 
forth, and the bridal party marched out of the church. 

  After receiving the congratulations of their friends, they happy husband and wife, 
accompanied by a few especial friends, drove over to Farmerville, where Mr. and Mrs. 
W. J. Turnage served an elegant wedding dinner.

  The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Heard, one of Shiloh's most 
prominent families, and is admired by all for her culture, grace, and beauty, and 
is an ornament and jewel to any circle in which she may be thrown. Robed in an 
exquisite costume of pearl gray silk, trimmed in lace and orange blossoms, she 
looked the fairest of the fair as she stood the bride of the man of her choice.

  The groom, Mr. Lee Goyne, is well known throughout the parish as a gentleman of 
high standing and courteous manners, and is to be congratulated in winning the hand 
of such a queenly bride.

  THE GAZETTE joins their host of friends in wishing them a happy, useful and 
successsful voyage on the stream of life.
