cemetery for the purpose of employ
ing regular keeper of the property.
| The move is a com mendable one and
we are glad to learn from Mr.. Scar

work of identifying the graves of
departed ones.

not meet Winston half way. If
High Point had this outlet it would

formed us yesterday that w. j.
Olive has received the appointment
| of Postmaster at Madison to succeed
E. F. Fagg who was removed upon
the charge of being over six hundred
dollars short in his accounts. Our
informant thinks Fagg was only
guilty of negligence in making his
report to the Postoffice Department,
hence it is belisved he will prove
himself clear at hearing before
court.
Mr.. Whit Wood, son of our popular
and enterprising townsman, w. w.
Wood, was married on Thursday in
the city of New York to Miss Ma
mie Leopold, pretty and accom-
plished Jewess, formerly of this
place. From what we know of the
circumstances attending this affair
we should judge it to be case of
true love, sprinkled with a dash of
romance. We trust the future for
them may be as radiant with hope
as to-day and that they may reach
the end of life happy in each others
love.
