Bass and Day
Well may it be said, Cupid is ever on the war path He Victims this time was one of Virginia?s manly and fine looking sons, and one of North Carolina?s pretty and accomplished daughters. Mr. Robert A. Bass, of Elmore and Miss Mollie Annie Day, of Dansville. A circle of friends gathered on Dec. 10th, at the beautiful home of the bride?s father, Mr. J.B. Day, to witness the consummation of Cupids work on the hearts of the contracting parties, and to hear them pronounced husband and wife.
At half past sever the parlor was a place of expectancy to all present, but that state of feeling was soon changed by the entrance of the attendants which was as follows:
Mr. W.H. Bass and Miss Mattie C. Bass; Mr. F.G. Bass and Miss Bettie H. Henderson; Mr. L.H. Boyd and Miss Maud L. Bass; Mr. S.R. Bass and Miss Laud L. Day; Mr. W.P. Shepherd and Miss Vick J. Day. Next cometh bride and groom who took their stand in front of Rev. G.T. Watkins, who performed the ceremony.
After the many congratulations and well wishes of friends for the couple the wedding party repaired to the dining room where the table fairly groaned beneath its burden of rich viands so artistically arranged, and so inviting to the inner man.
Supper being over all returned to the parlor where they pleasantly whiled away the hours, and where to a looker on it would seem that our friends Cupid had not finished his conquests.
Mr. and Mrs. Bass left the following morning for their home in the Old Dominion. Mr. Bass is one of Virginia?s perservering and energetic young men, and is to be congratulated on claiming for his bride such a refined and polished lady, but North Carolina?s loss in Virginia?s gain. Mr. and Mrs. Bass carry with them the best wishes of a host of friends in the Old Noth State. May their barque sail over placid waters on life?s tempestuous sea and may the Holy Spirit guide them at last into the heaven of eternal rest. G.T.W.
