Yesterday was a cloudy, raw daj and in the afternoon snow began to fall, which kept np to past the hour set for the mairiage to come off at Sheltcn Memorial church, but large crowd was present to witness the ceremony. The contracting parties were Mr. Edwin Milas Patterson, a popular conductor of the Southern Railway, and Miss Cadie Janette Wiley, -only daughter of Mrs. M J Wilej. The handsome church had been neatly decorated. . On the pulpit platform were plants and flowers and shaded lamps. The platform was also tastily covered with white cottons, and the step leading to the platform was covered with the same material. . The bridal party reached the ves tibule of the church on the minu'e. 8;30 o'clock, and ai the organ, pre' sided over by Mr. E L Keesler, of Concoid, N. C, sout-ded Mendels shon's wedding march, came in, in the following order : First, the usher?, Messrs. C W Sublett, George Harvey, Harry Pier son and Mortimer White, who marched do-vn to the alter by the right and left ais'ee. Then came the groom down the ight aisle and his best man, Mr. Clarence Iyans of Chorlotte, N. C, down teeltftailse. Down the center aisle came the ridearxin arm with Miss Delia Man 4 Chiem of Lynchburg, the maid of honor. . She wore in a most J3eceffiing manner a gown of white silk, en trame, tnmma wilu riboon and lace. The conventional veil fell gracefully from a coronet of orange blossoms fastened with a diamond ornament. She carried a lovely bouquet of bride's roses. The maid of honor wore white or gandie, trimmed with lace and rib bon, and carried a bouquet . of roses. On reaching the alter, the bride and groom met and walked upon the platform, fo!!ow3d by the best mm and maid o' honor and the ushers, who formtd a ha'f circle around the bride -and groom. Here thej were met by Rev. W T Doggctt, who in a most impressive manner made two loving hearts one. The bride and groom during prayer knelt upon hassocks which had been placed upon the platform. The ceremony over, the wedding party left the church in reverse ors der, while the, organ pealed forth Lohengrin's march. The leception which followed at the home of the bride's mother on Church street was a grand affiir. It wa3 a real old Virginia wedding sup per. The table was handsomely set in the dinning hall, and fairly groaned under the weigh that lay upon it. There were twelve large cak-s of different kinds, the bride's cake occupying the centre; frui s candies, nuis, chocelate, tea, coffee, hams, seven turkeys, wines, jellies, etc. Theie were a number of ia vited guests, ana all enjoyed them--elves. When time came to leave the bride and groom stood at the centre door and received congratu lations and best wishes of their company. . There was a large nuaber of presents, and all of them useful and serviceable. The brtde is a most estimible young woman, aud has a large num ber of young friends in Neapolis, and other places, both in Virginia and North Carolina. The groom is a conductor on the Southern railroad, id a native of Concord, N. and is greatly loved by the railroad employes and has a large circle of friends in Neapolis.
