Weds Mr. Edwards
On December 25, at si)fc-thirty
o’clock in the evening, the home of
Mr. and Mrs. B. L. Rowland of the
Bobbitt Community was the scene of a
simple, but beautiful and impressive
ceremony when their only daughter,
Annie Laurie, became the bride of
Talmadge Hight Edwards, of Raleigh.
The home was beautifully decorated
with green pine and tall white can
delebra, the only lights used through
out the ceremony being the soft glow
from white candles. The bride and
groom entered the living room unat
tended and the wedding vows were
spoken before an altar, in
;hfe presence of onljr the immediate
families and a few close friends of the
young couple. Rev. B. O. Merritt,
pastor of the bride, officiated, us'ng
the ring ceremony of the Methodist
church.
The bride, a very attractive blonde,
attired in a medium blue suit
with navy accessories and wore a
shoulder corsage of Talisman roses
and lilies of the valley.
Immediately following the ceremony
the young couple left for a wedding
trip to points unknown. After Jan-

A
Formal Garden of
Mrs. Kate Watkins
Is Complimented
Christmas decorations were much
more in evidence and on a more ela
borate scale this year than ever be
fore in Henderson, ’rut not any were
more impressive than the formal gar
den of Mrs. Kate Watkins on Winder
street with its originality in lighting
and the natural beauty of the garden.
Varied colored spot lights shed a
beautiful glow over the greens and on
two very attractively decorated
Christmas trees, while a large flood
light shed a soft light over much of
the garden. In the far recesses of the
garden gleamed three electric stars.
They were so ingeniously arranged
that they appeared to be anchored in
the firmament. In addition to the
lovely lighting effects erected by Mrs.
Watkins, nature added its bit to the
beautiful scene Saturday night by
turning the full glow of a beautiful
moon.
Many people viewed the garden and
all were impressed with its sheer, na
tural beauty of it, as well as the de
corative art of Mrs. Watkins.
Mrs. Watkins has been an actve
member of the Henderson Garden
Club for some years, and her garden
was not in competition for the prizes
offered by that club for the best de
corations in the various classifica
tions at Christmastide.
