 One of the prettiest weddings that has taken place in Southport for many year was that at Trinity Episcopal church, Wednesday evening, when Miss Katie A. Bulkley was married to Arthur o. Jennings. Miss Annie Bulkley was maid of honor and Misses Willetts and Geddes bridesmaids. Oliver Jennings of New York was the best man and JonG- than Bulkley, H. N. Wakeman, MT Fair child of New York and Moses Bulkley acted as ushers. When the wedding march sounded, shortly after 6 o'clock, the bridal party entered, the ushers first, followed by the bridesmaids, maid of hon. or and then the bride with her father. She wore a beautiful bridal gown of white satin and point lace and veil of tulle. The bridesmaids wore pink chiffon and the maid of honor white silk chiffon. The groom and his best man awaited the bride at the altar. The marriage service was conducted by Rev Dr Guilbert, rec tor of Trinity. The betrothal was read at the chancel steps and the marriage at the rail. As the wedding party went down the aisle, at the conclusion of the ceremony, the orchestra played we'd ding march. A reception followed at the home of the brides parents, Mir and Mrs Oliver Bulkley, the happy couple re- ceiving the congratulations of their friends beneath canopy of roses.

 To correct the erroneous impression gained by many, it is we'll to state that the railroad was not kept from carrying out it's plans in regard to the Carpenter avenue crossing because of the exorbi- tant prices asked for land. Long ago, Real Estate Buyer Fiske came to North rop Brothers and said that the railroad had three plans for Carpenter avenue Ga trespass crossing owned by the road). One was to locate it opposite their land and buy strip 50 feet in width from the tracks to Joseph Wells's, buying more land to come out near the Congregation al church. The price for this land was inquired but not given and Messrs North rop presently received word that the plan had been abandoned and the land would not be wanted. The crossing was put in that location, however and dan gerous right angle made at the very en- trance to the tunnel, which is only 30 | feet wide. As the road notified North rop Brothers that their land was not re- 1uired, it seems hardly just to charge hem with obstructing public improve nent and refusing to sell. Doubtless, if he land was wanted for that purpose o-day, it could be bought at fair valu- { Ition. ,
