of the brides parents last night. Their wedding was without a doubt
the prettiest home wedding ever celebrated in this city. Owing to
the ill health of the bride's mother, only the most intimate friends
of the couple were invited to be present.
As the clock struck 9,
Mr. Harold Doubleday, of Tryon, N.C., rendered a delightful flute
solo, whose sweet strains drifted into Mendlessohn's wedding march,
Mrs. Warren DuPre accompanying him on the piano. In the meantime,
ten bridesmaids, gowned in pink satin and each bearing a pink
holder, formed in line in the dining room, at the first chord of the
inspiring march, passed through the sitting room into the parlor.
They entered in the following order and as each couple reached the
center of the room they separated, one going to the right, the other
to the left of the bay window; Misses Bessie Jones, of Edgefield and
Carrie Speights, of Greenville; Misses Margaret Cofield and Louise
Henneman; Misses Rhetta Leftwich and Eva Petty; Misses Kinie Duncan,
of Union, and Margaret Law; Misses Fay Twitty and Myra Whitney, of
Tryon. Miss May Lillie Blake, the maid of honor and sister of the
bride, entered next, along. She was gowned very daintily in white
silk and carried a bouquet of white lillies. The bride, upon whom
all eyes were turned, came next leaning on the arm of her father.
She is a very handsome woman and looked regal in her wedding robes.
The groom met her in the center of the room and together they walked
to thebay window, where Bishop Duncan stood. The scene was almost
bewitching. Soft pink lights from countless waxen tapers lent a
brightness to the scene that seemed a good omen.
Bishop Duncan
pronounced the ceremony assisted by Rev. W. W. Rogers. After
congratulations were extended a sumptous supper was served.
Miss
Blake has a multitude of friends here, for she possesses those
womanly qualities that endear her to young and old. She has been
very active in charity and church work and will be much
missed.
Dr. Gilliam is a native of Newberry. He graduated at
Wofford college and at the University of Virginia and then went to
New York, where he graduated in medicine. After spending several
years there he went abroad where he remained for five years.

practice of his profession during the winter. He spends his summers
