evening. Rev. A. ID. Melvin, pastor, per-
formed the ceremony. Messrs. Samuel
Crockett, William S. schoolfeld, Joseph
L. Scott and Hartley N. Stevens acted as
ushers. Two little girls--Lulu Coul.
bourne aud Maud Townsend, acted as the
maids Of honor. They carried turtle
doves and beautiful floral decorations.
and preceded the bridal couple to the altar.
The bride beautiful and stylish brunette
was simply vision Of lovliness to behold
being attired in handsome dress Of
cream Morie silk, trimmed with tinsel
braid. cut en- fraine. low neck, and sleeves,
with white Kid gloves reaching Ear above
the elbow long veil and orange blossoms,
and wore diamond ornaments. She car

The large saw and planning mill and
barrel factory of Messrs. Gordon b. Jones
& Bro, located near Hallwood, on the
New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk
Railroad, together with several thousand
feet Of lumber. barrel s'pvcs and tenant
house were entirely destroyed by fire last
Sunday morning. Its origin was acct
dental and started about the boilcr-in
what manner Is matter Of conjecture, as
no one was present at the time Of the
burning Of the property. The accident
could doubtless have been avertcd had
not the night Waterman who was employ
ed to look after the property deserted his
post Of duty. He says lie left the mill
after q. M, and everything was all right
at the time.-There was no insurance on
the property. The loss to the owners Is
estimated from $4,000 to 10000, and
the probabilities are that the latter figures
are more correct, certainly fthe failure OF
Mcssrs. Jones & Bro, to I'LL their con-
tracts for barrels and building material,
due To the accident Is taken into consid.
Grafton. Another saw mill will be pur.
chased by the Messrs. Jones & Bro, at
once, and operations be resumed in every
branch of their business as soon as prac.
ticable.-Isainsuka Enterprise.
Again II is our sad duty to record the
death Of our oldest and most respected
citizens Mr.. Levin ". Moore. which
occurred on last Sunday night. He
had been great sufferer for many months,
and bore his atlliction with patience
Everything that could possibly he done
for Kim was done by loving AMI faithful
friends and his physicians, 10 restore him
to health again. At times his friends
would have hopes, he would seem so much
better, but alas these hopes were shatter-
cd. No earthly friends could stay the hand
OF death, and they were compelled to
yield 10 the inevitable and give up their
loved one. This one thought should con-
sole them, ''wllat is their loss Is his gain"
and to-day he is much happier in his
Heavenly home than II lie were here in
this world of sorrow and pain. His re.
mains were inferred in the Presbyterian
cemetery, his funeral being preached by
Rev. Mr.. Melvin. The Masons, Of which
Mr.. Moore was member, turned out in
body, and he was buried with Masonic
honors. He leaves wife and two daugh-
tiers to mourn their loss, and we extend
TO the grictstricken ones, our deepest and
most heartfelt sympathy. in their sad
affliction,
The young boys and girls, OF our city,

II, for she Is not only beautiful brunette
but very stylish, facinating, intelligent and
q splendid dancer, so Is il any wonder
that she turns the boys heads quicker than
lightning towards herselt.) When she
gets few years older some of our pres

Capt. John Clarke, was stricken with
paralysis ON Tuesday afternoon, and died
on Tuesday night about 0 o'clock. He
never spoke, nor was not conscious from
the time he was stricken till he died. That
lie Is uncertain Is fully shown In this
case. Capt. Clarke was a large, healthy
man and none looked more likely TO live
than he, but the summons came, and he
was taken without a moments warning.
He was highly respected in this commu-
nifty. where his kind and amiablc DISPOSE
ton had won for him host Of warm
friends, who are all sadly grieved at his
death. We truly sympathizc with the
heart. broken family in their great trouble,
