Some Incidents that are different from
the Usual Course of Things.
Prof. James N. Herman, mining
expert for the Clyde syndicate, with
headquarters here, was married to
Miss Francis G. Fisher, the authoress,
and known as Christian Reid, of this
place, on December 30. The cere-
mony was performed in New Orleans.
In artistic, literary, and mining cir
cles this is piece of romantic news
that is pleasant to relate.-Salis6mg

Prof. J. 7. Corlew, Superintendent
of the Charlotte Graded School has
been suspected of being a married
man. He resigned his place at once
and made an explanation. The resig-
nation was not accepted but the ex-
planation was. His life has been sad
ly romantic. He married a lady in
Chicago, not because he loved her, but
because she loved him, and immed
lately left her. A short while ago he
learned of her death and is once more
single man. The Professors ex-
planation was deemed entirely salts
factory by the school committee who
hold him in high regard.
During the late war North Caro-
lima soldier was wounded, and was
nursed by Virginia lady. The sol
dier was married man, but he men
tally resolved if ever the occasion oc-
cured for him to get second wife, he

offer her his hand and fortune. Three
year. ago his wife died. He institut-
ed, subsequently, inquiry about the
lad J, and finding that she was "heart
whole and fancy free," he opened cor
respondence with her, which resulted
in their marriage ON Wednesday last.
On that evening they were guests OF
Wright's Hotel, OH their way to their
North Carolina home. The gentle
man is J. Evans, Esq, of Fayetteville,
n. c., and the lady was Miss Matte
McCurdy, of Covington, Va. doubt

The most romantic marriage which
has happened in Wadesboro in many
day, was that of Major H. A. Wal
lace, of Taylor, Texas, to Mrs. Mary
j. Moore, Of Wadesboro. The con
tracing parties had never seen each
other until they met at the threshold OF
the brides door on Friday, December
| 30th. For some six months, however
they had been in correspondence, the
result of the Majors having seen pic.
ture OF Mrs. Moore at the house Of her
brother, DR.. John Treadgill, who
lives in Taylor. With the picture he
became charmed, und as he was and
had been for fifteen years an intimate
friend of DIR. Treadgill's family, the
correspondence had an easy beginning
and, as later events show, happy
termination. The ceremony was per-
formed at the residence of the bride
last Monday night, in the presence OF
numerous friends, Rev. Mr.. Bucknel
officiating.-H Hadesboro Ltelligeneer-
Sixteen years ago Mr.. Frank
Greene, citizen of Cleveland county
fearing prosecution upon account Of
the Ku-Klux troubles, struck out fol
Texas leaving his wife and three little
boys behind him. His wife heard
from him occasionally, up to ten years
ago, when his letters ceased, and nc
news whatever could be obtained from
| him.
last Monday the missing husband
arrived here, and went on to his old
home in Cleveland, where he found
his wife and three SONS still living
The boys had grown up, and the faith
er would never have been able to rec
ognize them. In fact, when they first
met, the old man did not even know
his wife, and it was long time before
the wife made up her mind that the
grizzled old man was really the Franz,
Greene who left her sixteen years ago
When all was explained, there was a
happy reunion.
Yesterday Mr.. Greene passed
through the city on the return to his
home in Texas, accompanied by his
wife and sons. The old man was
pretty full, but the boys took good
care of Charlotte Chronicle.
