while the bride is perhaps the most uni
versally popular young lady in town, as
lovely in character as She is fair Of face

the admirable and polished and highly es-
teemed Pryce Jones, and the amiable and
lovely and greatly admired Bette C0rbitt,
husband and wife, was performed by Rev.
}. d. Arnold in beautiful and impress
i've manner. We never witnessed a pref
tier marriage service, and seldom has it
been performed in behalf of handsomer
couple.
Messrs. J. r. Estes, Geo. A. Rose, Jr.,
Ii. 5. Major and j. Ed. Young acted as
usherS. The marriage over the bridal
party repaired to the home OF the brides
mother Mrs. Theo Stallings. where re-
ceptlOn was given them. Only the attend
ants and few relatives and intimate
friends were present, but it was one of the
most brilliant and enjoyable gatherings it
has been the writer's good fortune to be
numbered among lately. Mr.. and MIS-.
Stallings entertained their guests with the
most cordial hospitality and a delightful
evening was spent by all. An elegant sup
per was spread, and nothing was left Il
done to make the occasion pleasant and
memorable one.
The bride was the recipient of many
handsome and valuable presents, useful as
we'll As ornamental. These came from
persons abroad as we'll as at home and
spoke louder than words alone can con-
vey the love and tender regard felt for her
by very large circle Ct friends and adj
mtrers. The groOm'S gift to the bride was
beautiful gold watch and chain
Friday night reception was given Mr..
and Mrs. Jones and those of their friends
who were with them at Mr.. Stallings' the
evening before, together with a few others,
by Mr.. and Mrs. \. IL. Chavasse At an
early hour the doors Of their hospitabIe
home were thrown open and very de-
lightful party soon gathered. Those who
have enjoyed the cordial and gracious hos
pitality of Mr. and Mrs. Chavasse, SO adj
mirably assisted hy Mrs. T. \. Davis and
Mrs. ThoS. Chayasse, need not be told how
their guests were entertained Friday even
ing.
No where is one entertained more hand
somely and hospitality than at Mr.. Cha
vases, and everything possible was done
to contribute to the pleasure and en- j0yment
of their guests on this occasion. At
seasonable hour bountiful and tempting
supper was partaken Of, and where such
things are so elegantly served this could
not have fallen short Of the fullest meas
ure of enjoyment.
An enjoyable feature Of the occasion was
a recitation by Miss jamie Ward, of f IL
eigh, whose elocutionary gifts and talents
are not unknown to our citizens, the young
lady having kindly contributed TO the sue
cess and enjoyment CT evening parties and
public entertainments in our town Oh sew
eral occasions.
1t was late hour before the guests took
their departure, each one bearing with
him Or her pleasant recollections of the
evening so enjoyably spent beneath the
hospitable roof Of Mr. and Mrs. n. II.
ChayaSse. The GOLD LEAF joins host Of

How MONEY Is AADE.-The United
States treasury at Washington, District
of Columbia is commonly supposed to be
the only place III the country where money
is made, and this supposition is nearly cor
rect when she word made means manu-
featured. but otherwise money is made
more or less in almost every town and city
in the union. but in no place is money
made easier than right here i'll Henderson.
In view of the prevailing hard times this
statement may seem absurd, and one can
hear GOLD LEAF readers very naturally
ask How is it done ?'' The best way to
answer it is to let those who are on the
lookout for holiday goods of every de-
scription, call at the Henderson Book Store
and ascertain for themselves. Ii they
make their purchases of toys. fancy arti-
cles, books, Stationery. etc, of Mr..
