A Brilliant Wedding - To be Celebrated at the Second Presbyterian Church 
Tonight

The Second Presbyterian Church of this city is very handsomely decorated with 
ivy, cedar, magnolia, calla lillies and roses today for a brilliant social 
event which is to take place there tonight in the marriage of Mr. Algernon B. 
Reese to Miss Mamie Wadsworth, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jno. W. Wadsworth.

The attendants will be: Mr. Robert Reese and Miss Belle Atkins of Va.; Mr. 
Will A. Miller of Knoxville and Miss Mamie McAden of Charlotte; Mr. Charlie 
Wadsworth and Miss Annie Cannon of Concord; Mr. Ed. Overbaugh and Miss Laura 
Wadsworth of Charlotte; Mr. Ernest Young and Miss Birdie Burwell of Charlotte; 
Mr. Jas. Hobbs and Miss Annie Tate of Charlotte; Mr. Will Bland of Knoxville 
and Miss Lalla Oates of Charlotte. Messrs. Robt. Gibbon, Jno. Carson, Robert 
Oates and Baxter Ross will act as ushers.

The choir will consist of Mrs. Archer, Mrs. Orr, Mrs. Bason, Mrs. Jones, 
Misses Hall, Gallman, Duls, Grimes and Osborne and Messrs Da Vies, Martin, 
Oates, Powell, Haughton, Hutchinson and Semple. Miss Addie Williams whose 
skill as an organist is so well known, will preside at the organ. As the 
bridal party enters the church, the choir will render the bridal chorus from 
Lohengrin, "Faithful and True," and "The Wedding Bells Are in the Air" will be 
sung as the bridal party leaves the church. The ceremony will be performed by 
Rev. J.Y. Fair. The newly wedded will leave at 5 o'clock in the morning to 
visit the groom's family in Staunton, Va.

The church decorations are superb and are the most beautiful ever seen in the 
Second Church. A large number of invitations are out and it will be one of the 
most brilliant weddings ever known in Charlotte.
