ANOTHER BRILLIANT WEDDING.

Billy Teagarden, of Minneola, Texas, and Miss Fannie Walton, formerly of this place, were united in the holy bonds of wedlock in the M. E. Church, at Minneola, on Wednesday evening, the 15th instant. The wedding is reported to be one of the most brilliant affairs that ever occurred in that place. A private letter from the bride’s sister, Mrs. Neal Donnelly, to her father and sister at this place, speaking of the pleasant affair says: “The bride was arrayed in a handsome suit of white alpacca, trimmed with new style buttons and point lace. Her head was decorated with a beautiful white felt hat, trimmed with white spangled plush and white spangled flowers. The tray for the brides cake was trimmed with a wreath of white rosebuds, and evergreens. The ring cake had a lovely wreath on it. The guests all assembled at the house at 8 o’cloak, and at half past 8 went to the church. The young folks all went in first, arranging themselves on either side of the alter. Then came the happy couple who took their place in the center of the group. Neal and myself went in just after them, followed by all the older guests. It was really brilliant. As soon as the ceremony was ovsr the bride and groom started out followed by the guests. Congratulations were offered as soon as they arrived houie, after which refreshment* were served. Everything passed off pleasaatly and in order.” The presents were numerous, many of them being rich and costly. Among the number may be mentioned a cook stove, by the groom’s employer; two silver napkin rings, silver butter dish, silver pickle dish, lamp, pair pillows with lace shams, also pin cushions to match, ,four sets silver spoons, set of collars and caffs, set of handsome vaaes beautiful toilet set, center table, etc., etc. The fair bride has a host of warm friends in this place who will unite with us in wishing her and the man whom she has chosen to honor and obey a pleasant voyage upon the matrimonial sea.
