The people of the South, with rare
exceptions, have not been afflicted
with labor disturbances, and conse-
Quently have i<ardly had any inter
ruption TO their commercial and man
ufacturing prosperity. The advan-
tage that Southern business enter
prises possess In this respect r fully
understood and appreciated by North
ern capitalists. 1t is estimated that
during the first three months of this
year, in new undertakings and in the
extension of old ones, fully $36,00o,-
900, most Of it contributed from the
North, and from England, has been
invested in the South.

TWO GOLDEN WEDDINGS.
Aged Couples who Have Pasaed
Their Fiffieth Milestone in Wed
lock Made Happy.

Their Fiffieth Milestone in We'd
lock Made Happy.
A remarkable coincidence in city of
the size OF Wilmington is the occurrence
of two golden weddings on one day, on
Wednesday week. On that day, John
Pierce and wife celebrated their fiftieth
wedding anniversary at the residence of
their son-in-law, Samuel Borem, at No.
1901 Rodney street. The aged couple
were made happy by the congratulations
of numerous relatives and friends, who
assembled TO do honor to the aged pair.
Mr.. Pierce was presented with handsome
gold watch and the aged bride with $27
in gold coin. The remainder of the even
ing was passed socially and discussing
tempting refreshments.
On the same day Franz Stuhlfeld and
his wife passed the fiftieth mile stone in
their marital journey, but circumstances
prevented them from celebrating il suit
ably until last evening, when large
number of representative Germans and
| friends assembled in the German Hall to
observe the unusual event. The Dela-
ware S@ngerbund, of which Mr.. Stuhlfeld
| is a member, ,serenaded the ancient couple
| with the appropriate and beautiful song
scThis is the Lords Own Day." The
president of the Smngerbund, Henry
Zimmerman, then led the elderly pair to
the middle of the hall, where they we're
overwhelmed with congratulations, after
which they led the grand march which
preceded the dancing and generally
sociable entertainment. The first dance
proved to be waltz and with an intuitive
feeling which had not been requested
all present held aloof while the 78.years.
old groom and 0.years-old bride waltzed
around laboredly and revived the memo
ries of their youthful pleasures. The
rounds of applause which greeted theii
attempt must have satisfied them of tn,
good wishes of their friends. Genera
dancing followed which was continued
until late hour.
