COMING EvENT.-An event in
which two young persons will be
made happy, will be the marriage
of Mr.. Ellsworth Greer, son of Mr..
John L. Greer, to Miss Resie Ed
wards, daughter of Mr.. Vincent
Edwards. The happy event will
take place to day at the residence
of the brides parents, at Flat Rock.

years in the penitentiary would be
the proper place for such fellows.

Great Kanawha operators, by being
