A Onief Wedding.

Roanoke VA Daily Herald, July %:
"Mr w. ii. Horton was married at 4:30
Wednesday afternoon, to Miss Susie
Roberts, at the residence of her aunt,
Mrs. J. Il. Herndon, her uncle, Rev. y.
T. Campbell, of West Virginia, assisted
by Rev. DIR. PlippO, officiating.
The attendance was confined exclu-
slyely to the relatives and intimate
friends of the young couple, owing to
the bereavement which SO recently be-
fell Mr.. Horton in the loss of his moth
er, whose frequently expressed wish,
during her last illness, was that there
should be no pOstponement of the union
upon which her heart was fixed of her
son and the young lady whom she loved
as tenderly as a daughter.
The bride looked very sweet as she
bIushingly acknowledged tire cOngratu-
lations which were shOwered upon her,
and the groom was radiant. The bridal
presents were many, costly and elegant.
AT $50 p. M, the young couple took
the train for the Montgomery White
Sulphur Springs, where they will spend
some time, and in common with the
many friends of both, the Herald hopes
that they may be lowered with the
choicest blessings which attend true
wedlOck, the union of hearts as well as
hands, through life and through eter-
nifty"
Miss Roberts is sister of Mrs. w.
S. Denton, of this city, and of Mrs. l.
r. Shannon, of KIowa. She is one of
the prettiest and most lovely ladies we
have ever known. She was well known
and deservedly popular in this city. The
INDEX extends congratulations and
good wishes.

1t will be observed that the treasurer
has overdraWn his account by $l6626.
There was, at the time of the meeting,
more than enough money in the hands
of the county treasurer, belonging to
the fund OF this district, to make the
shortage good, but the law does not al
low it to be drawn till after the annual
meeting. 1t was, doubtless, drawn
the next day, and put to the credit of
the district.
Nominations for treasurer being in
order, w. S. Finney and e. b. Currie
were nominated. The vote was by bal
lot, and Mr.. Finney was declared
elected.
The term of school was then fixed at
n zoe months.
A motion to levy one-half mill for
librar,1 purposes, was voted down.
Mr.. N{cNeal suggested that Mr..
Chase be lOWed 1871 for superintend-
ing the erectI on of the school building.
This sum of 1913 had been paid to the
board by the Citizens National bank,
as interest on a deposit. Mr.. Chase
had worked several months without
promise of pay, and he thought it only
justice that he be allowed some com
pensation. 1t was moved and unanl-
mously carried that he be allowed that
amount.
The school levy for next year was
fixed at 60 mills for teachers salaries;
4 mills for incidental purposes and .
mills tor interest on bonds, total of
ISL mills.
There being no further business, the
meeting adjourned.

Meeting of the Farmers Allisnce-r he
Wheat Crop.

LUNENBURG COURTHOUSE, VA, Dec. q.
Special. The Codnty Farmers Alliance
is in session here to-day, large number
Of its members being present, as every Sub
Alliance is represented. Business OF I'M
pOrtance tothe Alliance is being discussed,
but as the meeting is being held with closed
doors, and no one admitted but members OF
the order, il is impossible TO ascertain the
subject of discussion.
The order is daily increasing in this coun-
ty and now numbers about TIN ee hundred
and fifty, and embraces in its ranks many
of the best citizens and prosperous farmers
in the county.
Mr. Dabney Hardy, young and pros
porous farmer, is the president OF the
County Alliance. Mr.. Hardy has been very
successful in raising bright tobacco, ana
always get big prices for his crop. lie mas
taken several PRICES on bright tobacco at
Danyille and other markets.
The yice-prOsdent OF the County Alliance
is another prosperous and intelligent busi-
ness man, Sir. George T.. Smith. Mr.. smith,
formerly represented this county In the
Legislature of the State, and made most
excellent representative.
The secretary of the order is also young,
energetic and prosperous larmer, Mr.
Thomas c. Matthews. Mr.. Matthews rep
resented this county some years since in
the Legislature, and is a iirst-class business
man. The treasurer of the order is Sir. Or
lando Snead, another prosperous young
farmer: while the county lecturer for the
order is Colonel Robert ii. Allen, who Is
not only ''weli-to-do" farmer, but tine
speaker, and also leading member OF the
County Board OF supervisors. There are
fifteen subordinate Alliances in the county.
We had nice rain on the Sd which was
much needed for the wheat crop. The
weather to-day is quite cold, and the people
are generally getting up supply Of wood
for winter. Both coal and mica have been
discovered in this county, and iron exists
also; there is no doubt, all we need.

DANyiLLE, VA, Dec. Especial. i
The Board of Directors Of the Danyille and
East Tennessee railroad held an important
meeting here tonight. The following gen.
tlemen were present: General Thomas
Ewing, New York; II. A. Hitchcock,
Barton Myers, and T. w. NJ. Dra-
per, of Norfolk, ard James y. Har-
rison, of Danville. The following were
elected to fill vacancies in the Board Of d.
rectors: X. NJ. Stuart Wortley, yice-pIesi-
dent of the Atlantic and Danylle road; j.
L. ID. Ryder, of the banking firm of Newgass
Il Co., Of London, and Charles t. Trega, q
banker, Of Chicago. Mr.. Ryder is also d.
rector Of the Atlantic and Danville.
X. NJ. Stuart Wortley being present, took
his seat in the Board.
The meeting was not pubic one. and the
participants were reticent, but it was learn
ed that il was definitely determined 10 build
the Danyille and East Tennessee from
this city TO BristrOl just AS early
as the work can be done. Ii is also learned
that the financial arrangements I'VE been
made. After the adjournment Of the meet
ing the gentlemen went te Leakyille, y. c.,
by a special train over the Danyille and
Western road, and had a conference with
prominent citizens of that place, and after
wards dined with Major j. Turner More
head.
The leaf tobacco breaks this week have
been smaller than for several years e.. :.
and the offerings consisted mainly OF re-
handled and shipped stock. All grades
sold lower than at any time since the new
crop commenced coming in, due, perhaps,
TO the inferior quality and unfayorable con-
dition of the offerings.
