Hill – Owen.

A beautiful wedding was celebrated Wednesday afternoon, June 17th, at 3 o'clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Slover, their aunt, Miss Dorinda Owen, becoming the bride of Mr. Jno. T. Hill, the Rev. R. W. Oakes reading the nuptial vows.

Fragrant white carnations and sweet peas were used throughout the house to add to this charming occasion. The double parlors of the elegant Slover home were thrown together, and it was under a beautiful arch of ferns in the double doors, where white carnations in all their purity nodded their heads, that the impressive ceremony was read that united these happy hearts. The front parlor was banked with ferns, while stately vases of white carnations were found on pedestals among them. Caught here and there with white ribbon were carnations that found their resting place in the center of the room and ended in artistic festoons at the lights.

The music room was a bower of sweet peas. and in their rich rainbow colors they made a home fit for Cupid to claim as a "happy lovers' lane" for his many victims. In this room a beautiful aisle of broad white bands of tulle was made which lead to the altar under the arch of carnations and ferns.

Before the ceremony Miss Clay Draughon accompanied by Mrs. J. F. Ellis, sang "I Love You Truly," her sweet voice clearly ringing with untold melody for the auspicious occasion. The wedding march was played by Mrs. J. F. Ellis, accompanied on the violin by Mrs. James Draughon for the entrance of the wedding party.

Miss Edith and Master Gordon Slover first entered carrying large bows of white ribbon which untied and formed the aisle for the wedding party. Following next came Mr. and Mrs. Tom Slover, the only attendants of the bride. Mrs. Slover was gowned in a becoming white voile embroidered in green, caught at the waist with a beautiful green sash. Rev. Oakes entered in front of the charming bride and groom. The bride was beautiful in her bridal costume of pearl white crepe-de-chine. Her veil, worn Juliet fashion, was caught with white carnations and ferns and she carried a shower bouquet of white carnations, sweet peas and foliage.

The popularity of both the bride and groom made this wedding one long to be remembered in the hearts of their many friends in Davis and neither one need more said of them than "None knew them but to love them – none named them but to praise," and in wishing them their future happiness it is sincerely indulged in by all the community.

The gifts showed the great love and admiration of these two happy people, as in the dining room was filled to overflowing with linens, silver, handpainted china and cut glass of the most handsome type.

Mr. and Mrs. Hill left on the northbound Santa Fe for Oklahoma City and other points in Oklahoma for a brief wedding journey and will soon be at home to their many friends in a new little bungalow.

The bride's traveling gown was a tailored costume of Wisteria with blouse of white crepe with which she wore shoes, gloves and hat to match.

The following were out-of-town guests: Mr. and Mrs. Morris Sass of Ardmore; Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Searcy, Mrs. Marvin Cochran, Mrs. Frank Cochran, Miss Lona Slover, Wynnewood; Miss Nell Peck of Tennessee; Misses Grace and Pauline Slover, Miss Creek; Mrs. Bettie Mullens of Frederick, Okla.; Misses Ruth and Ruby Slover of Sulphur.
