At the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. W.
- Tkevar J one of the prettiest home wed
dings ever seen in this part of the State
took place last Tuesday evening at 9
o'clock. The Brevard home is a beau
ful .country place three miles northwest
of Uijion City, a point known as Bre
vard's Crossing, with wooded lawns and
rolling acres. The house was beauti
fully lighted and decorated. An altar
was stationed in. the parlor, made of
foliage, blending with appropriate deco
ration and provided with tapers. The
halls and rooms are spacious and com
fortable, and the entire scene was alto
gether inviting.
A large party of friends arrived at 8
o'clock on regular train No. 54 and
found a very cordial reception awaiting
them. The lawn was provided with
Beats and numbers were scattered
everywhere in groups. At .9 o'clock
the wedding party arrived, and in the
tpaee of a few minutes the little ribbon
bearers, Margaret Elizabeth Caldwell i
and Virginia Steel, appeared in the hall,
unwinding the. ribbons and stretching
them on either side of the floor leading
to the altar. Then followed the brido
and groom marching to the altar. The
minister in charge was Rev. Ratliffe, of
Kentucky, a friend of the family. The
ceremony was of short duration, but
the words and occasion were full of im
port. Thus were J. C. McReeand Miss Ad
rian Brevard united in the bonds of
holy wedlock. The bride was dressed
in white, which was very becoming to a
character so beautiful. For a number
of years she has been engaged in the
teaching profession, and is known pop
ularly as one of the best qualified, most
intelligent, and altogether one of the
county's best teachers. Withal she is
a young woman who is gifted with the
charms of grace as well as intellect, but
greater than all she wears these gifts
with becoming modesty, esteemed by
a host friends and knows how to appre
ciate and value them.
Mr. McRee is the only son of Dr. and
Mrs. F. M. McRee, a young man who
also enjoys the esteem of many friends.
He is engaged in merchandising in this
city as a member of the Nailling-Keiser
Hard w are Company, with a
business career which has much to
encourage him and a life which is des
tined to be useful among his fellow
men.
Mr. and Mrs. MeReewill leave in July
for a wedding trip to Los Angeles, Cat.,
Mr. McRee going as representative from
the local lodge of Elks. At present
they are keeping house on the corner of
Church and Home streets in the city.
A most interesting and enjoyable
pre-nuptial affair was the delightfully
planned linen shower given by Mrs.
Arthur Titsworth last Friday afternoon
from 4 to ( in honor of Miss Adrian
Brevard, one of the season's fairest,
loveliest brides. With the exception of
a few near friends and relatives, the in
vitation list was restricted to the old
Chafing Dish Club, of which Miss Bre
vard was a member. Mrs. Titsworth
was assisted in receiving by her charm
ing sisters, Mesdaines Butler, Caldwell
and Marshall. Misses Marshall and
Caldwell served frappe in the dining
room. About 5 o'clock the library
doors were thrown open, and as the
honoree entered a veritable shower of
beautiful linen rained down upon her
from a large Japanese umbrella sus
pended from the ceiling. Most promi
inent among the many gifts was a large
chest filled with lovely hand-embroid
ered bed and table linens from the
mother of Miss Brevard's fiance, Mrs
F. M. McRee.
