Correspondence of Tlio Democrat. A double wedding took place at Valle Crucis on Monday morning July fifth, when Miss Anna Mae Shipley and Miss Mary Elizabeth Taylor were joined in matrimony to Mr. Thomas A. Belle of Mount Holly and Mr. Henry Charles I Menzies, Jr. of Hickory respec tively. ' The brides were both of Valle Crucis, Miss Shipley being the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W, E. Shipley and Miss Taylor the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. H .Taylor. The ceremony was per formed in the Methodist church at half past nine o'clock by the Rev. J. P. Morris, the pastor. The church was beautifully, dec orated with pink roses, honey suckle, and rhododendron by the friends of the two brides. It is well adapted to a double wedding having twp aisles rather than one central one. The church was till ed with relatives and friends of both couples when at the opening chords of the Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin, played-by Mrs. Paul Spainhour, up the right aisle ad vanced the Rev. Morris, preced ing one of the bridal couples, Miss Shipley and Mr. Belk. At the same time the other' bridal couple advanced up the left aisle, both meeting the minister under a bower of Dorothy Perkins roses at the rail. There the marriage ceremony was performed accord ing to the shortened form of the Methodist ritual, and each cou ple in turn became "husband and wife." The music played softly during the"service, and at the close, , to its crescendo strains, the two couples passed each oth er and each continued on its way down the opposite aisle from that by which it had come up to the rail. Each bride was dressed in her travelling suit and ready for a hasty departure in her hus band's automobile. We under stand that they are making their bridal trip through the country as far as Ashnville, and we wish them all success, good weather and good roads. Besides relatives and friends residing in the county there were present at the wedding Dr. and Mrs. H. C. Menzies, Miss Virginia Menzies, Mr. Alexander Menzies, and Mrs. Shuford, all of Hickory, the parents, ' sister, brother and grand-mother of one bridegroom, and Mrs. Rollins, and Miss Annie Belk, the sisters of the other bridegroom. Mi, and Mrs. Thomas Hoik will moke their home In Mount Holly, and Mr. and Mrs. - Charles Menzies at Hickory. A Pleasant Occasion On June 23rd all of t he ten chil dren of "Uncle" Will Greer, with a great nunibpr of grandchildren and friends met at his home near Silverstone to celebrate his sev entieth birthday. The guests were welcomed with the genuine hospitality for which the home is noted. The dinner was a real feast, the long tables being lit erally loaded with the best eat ables. The fine music and all that goes to make a happy occa sion were fully enjoyed by all. An impressive thing was the large unbroken family circle the father, a model of industry, honesty, and integrity, his faith ful wife who has bravely fought life's battles- by his side, the large circle of children, all up right, highly-respected men and women of whom the parents may be justly proud. May the fam ily circle long remain unbroken, v ONE PRESENT. ' ' ; At Elomlfig Rock.
