C, Feb. 4. 1901 All the glittering magnificence that wealth can procure attended the mar riage of Miss Bettie Jones to Hugh Wil kins, of South Carolina. But with a happy brightness, which outrivaled the sumptons preparations, shone the faces of the bride and groom as they stood to take the vows of man and man. The ceremony waa a gem of beauty, and each stage followed upon the other with that easy regularity which gave evidence of studied and careful foresight as to every detail thereof. Promptly at the hour of 10 o'clock on the morning of January 31st, Rev. A. Hunt took his stand in the front of the altar, just as the bridal party moved gracefully and slowly up the aisle of First Broad church. Immediately after the ceremony, the party and invited guests repaired to the home of the bride's mother where an elegant break fast awaited them. Many and costly were the presents given to the couple on this, the anniver sary, which has marked a point in then- lives which they will ever remember. Bettie Jones and Hugh Wilkins had been lovers for many years, and that type of true love had gradually develop ed between them, and has at last found its culmination in the holiest of all rela tionships which man has ever known. We trust that in all their lives their troubles may not be large, but little ones. The attendants were as follows ; Maid of honor, Miss Ida Jones; best man, Zeno Gamble; bridesmaid, Miss Ida Ruff, and the ushers were Messrs. Edley Hunt and E. M. Jones. The happy couple will spend their honeymoon among the larger cities of the South. BOSTIC BRIEFS. The School Will Celebrate Washing ton's Birthday. Correspondent of The Tribune. Bostic, N.
