A wedding that will be of much
interest in Bristol and vicinity was
solemnized at the bride's home last
Tuesday at 2 p. m. in Holston Valley,
when Miss Sue-Cowan, the daughter
of the late Rutledge Cowan, was
united in holy bonds of wedlock to
William G. Cowan, of Fayetteville,
Tenn.
The guests were received by Miss
Maude Worrell and Mr. James

parlor where the decorating was
beautiful in the form of an arch of
evergreens with a pryamid of white
bunting covered with ferns.
Miss Ollie Delaney, with her skil
ful touch, presided at the piano,
playing Melody of Love. And the
bride, with Miss Lucy House, of
Scotland Neck, N. C, followed by
the groom, with Tom Pemberton,
entered the drawing room where
the bridal party was formed.
While Mendelsshon's wedding march
was played the little ribbon bearers,
Jewel Cowan and W. C. Delaney
formed an aisle through which the
bride and groom entered. Dr. J
Albert Wallace performed the service.
The bride's going away gown was

shoes and hat to match. She carried
a shower bouquet of brides' roses.
Those serving in the dining room
were Misses Lucy House, Maude
Worvell and Mrs. Nan Delaney,
assisted by Mesdames Bob Cowan
and Harvey King.
In the reception hall were many
handsome presents displayed.
The decorations of the hall and
dining room were very pretty con
sisting of a lovely locket of ferns
suspending by white ribbons covered
with ferns to each corner of the
table where the wedding cake was
cut. The bridal party left on the
Holston Valley train consisting of
Misses Nan and Sallie Cowan, Misses
Ollie Delaney and Lucy House, Mr.
James Lowry and Charlie King,
Misses Maude Pemberton and Sue
