BARNETT-IRVINE

Over 250 Guests Attend the Beautiful Lawn Wedding

Vawter's Orchestra, Which Furnished the Music, One of the Delightful Features

Irvinedale, the pretty suburban home of Mr. and Mrs. Robt. R. Irvine, was the scene Wednesday evening, July 11, of one of the most beautiful weddings ever witnessed in the county. The nuptial ceremony which united the next youngest daughter of the household, Miss Corinna Harte Irvine, and Mr. James Goodwin Barnett, took place on the large lawn, which was thickly dotted with Japanese lanterns. An altar was improvised, extending from the veranda in front. This was heavily banked with asparagus fern, in which the color scheme was effectively carried out with white carnations imbedded in the green. After the inspiriting strains of Lohengrin, played by Vawter's orchestra, seated on the vine-embowered veranda, the bridal chorus was sung by Miss Bessie Tucker, Mrs. Will Armentrout, Messrs, C. W. Lacy and Griffin Olson. During the singing the contracting parties and attendants took their places at the altar. The officiating minister, Rev. J. E. Abbott, came first, then the flower bearers, Gore Rogers and Clara Irvine, nephew and niece of the bride, strewing blossoms in the pathway of those who followed. The four bridesmaids came in couples, Miss Floy Tucker and Miss Lil Irvine first, then Miss Ruth Dysart and Miss Kate Irvine. The Misses Irvine are sisters of the bride. Mr. Barnett followed on the arm of his best man, Mr. Robert Lamkin. Then little Nancy Goddard, niece of the bride, came bearing the ring in the petals of a rose. the bride and the matron of honor, Mrs. A. T. Vawter, came last and completed the grouping of a perfect picture ideal in appointment and detail. The ceremony was said in Mr. Abbott's usual happy, earnest way, and was beautiful.

The bride wore an exquisite french lingerie robe, elaborately trimmed with valencienes. She carried a large bouquet of lilies of the valley, and her veil was caught with the same. Her only ornaments were, a necklace of pearls, the gift of the groom, and an old turquoise pin set with pearls, which was an heirloom and the gift of an aunt. The bridesmaids wore paris muslin over white taffeta, and the matron of honor the same over green taffeta, prettily finished with valencienes lace, with sashes of green tulle. Their short veils were caught with white sweet peas, and they carried large bouquets of this ever popular wedding flower, all in pure white. The little girls assisting, wore sheer toilettes, in which the wedding colors were prettily blended.

Immediately after the ceremony, the matron of honor lifted the bride's veil and congratulations followed, then the bridal party led the way to the table at one side of the lawn. It was like fairyland with its dainty appointments, cut glass candlesticks tied with greed tulle and filled with green candles, made exquisite decorations. A large brides cake, embellished with brides roses, with the initials, B. and I. in green, made a handsome centerpiece. After the service of ice cream, cake and coffee, the cake was cut. Joshua Barbee, Saline's prospective prosecuting attorney, got the ring, so we shall expect soon to have the pleasure of announcing the happy event. Miss Mabel Dysart got the dime, and the darning needle, as usual, failed to materialize.

Of the many home weddings in our city and county, some have surpassed in point of beauty and careful preparation that of Wednesday evening, and the reception which followed was one of great pleasure to the large number present. Misses Mary Dysart, Bess Tucker and Mr. Luther Tucker assisted Mr. and Mrs. Irvine in extending the hospitalities of their home, by receiving the guests at the entrance to the lawn under an attractive archway of Japanese lanterns. At about 9:30 Mr. and Mrs. Barnett left their friends on the lawn to prepare for their departure on their wedding trip. The bride threw her bouquet to her bridesmaids from an upper veranda, and Miss Ruth Dysart caught it. Her going away gown was of handsome old rose voil, with hat and gloves to match. She was lovely in her wedding gown, but it was thought by many of her friends that she was more beautiful in the going away toilette. Mrs. Barnett is not only one of Saline's fairest daughters but one of her best, with an interesting personality that has rendered her very popular in the social circles of Marshall and Saline. The groom, who is the Deputy County Clerk of Saline, is among our best young men, and has the confidence of all who know him.

The newly wedded couple came to Marshall Wednesday night accompanied by some of their friends, to take an ? train, and go a short distance east. They then took an early C. and A. train Thursday morning for Colorado where they will spend their honeymoon.

There were subjected to the usual annoyances, rice showers, old shoes, placards, etc.

Those who attended the wedding from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. James Goodwin and J. G. Goodwin of Alma, Miss Helen Webb of Chicago, Mrs. Hudson Talbott and daughter, Mary Frances, and Chas. Gaunt, St. Louis, Mo., and Mrs. Ben McClure of Hustonia, Mr. and Mrs. Claud Rogers, Kansas City, Miss Nadine Steele, Lexington. There were more than a hundred from Marshall present.

The bride and groom received some beautiful presents, many of which will be put into immediate use when they go to housekeeping, which they expect to do soon after their return from their trip.

James Goodwin Barnett

The death of this young gentleman, aged twenty-two years—is the cause of profound sorrow to all who knew him well and had an appreciation of his fine qualities of head and heart. He was a popular and promising young man, and blessed with the love of a young and beautiful wife to whom he had been married about one year, and adored by a loving and good mother, and beckoned onward in life by all the possibilities of a laudable aspiration, and usefulness to society, make his untimely death unusually inflictive upon the living.

The most admirable object in all God's creation is a young man abounding in qualities of head and heart which commend themselves to the approval and admiration of the good and wise of mankind—to grow up such a pattern for imitation—to be ambitious, to be industrious, to be courageous in the right. These seem to have been the domination features of his character, as they were interpreted and seen by those with whom he was most closely associated in business and social life. So disappointing—so sad—that his friends are left only to mere conjecture at to the honorable and useful career he might have attained had he reached the prime of life, or attained the limit fixed by the Psalmist. But without going into speculation as to the value of what would have been his life, it was long enough in the good influence of its impress upon the community in which it was spent, and with all elsewhere with whom it met i contact, to leave with the living the tender recollection of his kind and generous nature—of that good fellowship of his, which made association with him so pleasant, and his example as a man so worthy of imitation.

His death occured last Wednesday evening at 6:15 o'clock at his home on South Jefferson Avenue, after several week's illness from typhoid fever. The funeral service will be held in the North Street Presbyterian Church, Friday, August 16th, at 2 o'clock p. m., conducted by Rev. John Edwin Abbott. Burial in Ridge Park Cemetery.

JAMES GOODWIN BARNETT

Died, at his home on South Jefferson street, in this city, after a month's illness with typhoid fever, James Goodwin Barnett, son of Mrs. Minnie Barnett, aged twenty-two years.

Seldom is it our duty to record so sad a death. A gloom was spread over the whole community when it was learned that he was gone.

He was a young man of excellent habits, fine moral character and sturdy constitution and hardly knew what a day's illness meant until he was stricken with the dread disease.

In September, 1904, he was appointed deputy county clerk by R. E. L. Smith. On January 7th he was re-appointed to the same position under W. G. Durrett.

On July 11th, 1906, he was married to his surviving wife, Miss Hart Irvine, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Irvine. One year from that date he was taken ill with the disease that caused his death.

The funeral services were held at the residence Friday afternoon, August 26th, conducted by his pastor, Rev. J. E. Abbott.

Burial at Ridge Park cemetery.
