It was an ideal ceremo ny that bound the life of John Hemphill Wilkins to that of the beautiful and accomplished Leo na Lynch. The church was a dream of rare loveliness and good taste; beau tiful decorations of holly, ivy and cedar adorned the altar. In the background was a screen of evergreens, behind which the or gan was hidden from view. Im mediately in front of this and above the platform upon which the minister stood, was an arch of cedar and holly. From the cen ter of the arch two hearts, made of white silk and tied with satin ribbon, hung united together, a fit symbol of the matrimonial ; state. On either side of the arch and directly at the point of cur vature, two lighted candles burn ed brightly, and from these, on either side, long lines of ever greens stretched out to the oppo site walls. Promptly at the hour of 2 o'clock the bridal party arrived, just as the strains from the wed ding march of Lohengrin filled the air, and breathed into it a spirit of sweet solemnity and beauty befitting the seriousness of the hour. The party marched down to the altar in the following order, the loading the way: Thomas j "W i 1 hn. entered the right aisle, j an.l Iv::ak L. Hicks the left;', Dr. u G, Reid, right, O. C. Er- win left. Following these the at tendants came next : Miss Clara Wilkins entered the left, aisle, Wm. F. Rucker right ; Miss Anne Davis right, Dr. Samuel Wilkins left. Miss Amie Lynch, maid of honor, came down the left hand aisle, preceeding the couple. The groom, Mr. Wilkins, then enter ed with his best man, Charles M. Cooke of Bessemer City, while df.wn the left aisle and almost opposite to them the bride walk ed, leaning upon the arm of her brother, Mr. Norman Lynch. As they stood before the altar, the music changed, and above the tender and beautiful melody of could be heard the voice of Rev. 0. B. Justice, the minister : "When, six thousand years ago the Lord said 'It is not good for man to be alone' He uttered a truth universal in its existence and application; and it is said in holy writ that, 'who so findeth a wife findeth a good thing and findeth favor in the Lord.' Man was not made because he wras nec essary to the developing and re fining of the character of woman; but woman was created because man needs her influence, her sym pathv and her untiring love and devotion.
