Beautiful Country Wedding
The lovely home of Mr. and Mrs. E.L. Atkinson, five miles southwest of Holcomb, was all aglow with the wedding spirit on Thursday afternoon of this week when the second daughter of the household, Thelma, gave her heart and hand in marriage to Mr. F.B.Scott, of Memphis. The ceremony was said at 2:30 o�clock.
The home had been most appropriately decorated and nature did its part in adding beauty and joy to the occasion. The weather was ideal. The spring time spirit was everywhere felt. The songs of the birds and budding of the flowers seemed, as it were, to add benedictions to the event so important in the lives of all young people.
The older daughter Miss Loree, at the piano playing the wedding march was the signal for the bride and groom to enter the parlor where two men of God, Revs. R. A. Tucker and M. W. Langley, stood ready to say the beautiful and yet solemn words that bound the destinies of these young people together.
The bride never looked prettier in a traveling suit of blue moire twill with gray accessories. She carried a gorgeous bouquet of bride�s roses and lilies of the valley. Immediately after the ceremony, they proceeded by auto to Grenada where they took the fast train for a short bridal tour after which they will be at home to their friends in Memphis.
Mr. Scott is a member of one of the most prominent families of Memphis and is a young man who has already thoroughly established himself in business.
When a state of war was declared with Germany, he at once offered his services to his country. He went overseas and spent two years there. He helped break the Hindenburg line and was wounded and spent six months in a hospital in England all of which goes to emphasize his fidelity to duty and is fitness to properly love and cherish the woman of his choice.
The bride is not only cultured but she comes from a home where she has had that training from a good mother and thoughtful father and where she has been drilled in those domestic arts that serve to bring out the excellencies of her character and to equip her for the sacred duties of a good wife.
The Sentinel wishes for Mr. and Mrs. Scott life�s sweetest triumphs and best rewards.
