A Central Figure in Wholesalers
History.

The Winchester Star is publishing, in
daily instruments, short history of that
citv, in which Mr.. Charles Broadway
Rouss stands as a central figure. From
Thursdays issue we take the following:
"These temples of industry and learning
tell in no uncertain language the love the
old Confederate soldier has for his home
and loved ones. The temples of religion
fell their own story, that the builders OF
modern Winchester were not unmindful
of the debt they owed a great and merci-
full God, who gave them the courage and
the strength 10 build from the ruins of
the past the beauty of to-day-the tenn
pies to the living God, and homes of COM
fort for themselves. The legal bar of
Winchester to-day will rank with any in
the State Conrad, Barton, Byrd. Alex
ander, Williams, Harrison, Boyd, Akin
son and Ward are names that honor its
roll. The mercantile branch of Winches-
ter is as financially strong as any to be
found. The banks are conservative and
safe, the manufacturing companies can
supply anything needed, and the nechani-
cal skill of our artisans will rank with the
best. There is an electric light and gas
company, a perfect water system the
property of the corporation, by the gen
crosby of that prince of givers, Mr.. Chas.
B. Rouss, the New York merchant prince,
who began his mercantile life as store
boy in this town. With honesty, energy,
push and pluck he carved out for himself
the great fortune he SO generously shares
with his old Confederate friends and
Winchester If dame fortune ever showed
her appreciation of pluck, nerve and en-
ergy in one mortal, she certainly selected
Charley Rouss. Like most all Confed-
crate soldiers, Mr. RouSs came out of the
war worse than dead broke, but this did
not destroy his energy nor hope of flu
ture. He went to work blowing corn on
his fathers farm, but this was too slow
for his restless, ambitious nature. Drop
ping the plow handle he went to New
York city, and began business with no
capital but his pluck, and before the old
bruises on his back made by singing his
old carbine during the war had healed
over, he ranked with most of New York
citys merchants in financial standing, a
living monument of what an old Reb
with will power can do. There are three
well-drilled fire companies, also a fine
hook and ladder company, which have
all been the recipients of Mr.. Rouss' gen
erosity''

Maecorkle---WillEon.

One of the handsomest, charming and
most attractive young ladies of the county
Miss Susie Hilleary Wilson, daughter of the
| late Charles p. Wilson, of Summit Point,
was led 10 the altar as the bride of Mr..
TaZewell Morton MacCorkle on last We'd
nesday morning. The ceremony was SOL
emnized in the Church of the Holy Spirit
at the above village, at ten o'clock, by the
rector, Rev. y. J. Willis The interior of
the building was handsomely and tastily
decorated with evergreen. All of the win
dows, which are arched, were wreathed
from base to apex, and the large chancel
arch was similarly adorned, with the addi-
ton of festoon hanging in graceful loop.
The railing of the chanceI was trimmed
with evergreen and bitter-sweet. Within
the railing TO the right of the rector was n
huge bouquet of chrysanthemums and pam
pass grass. The altar to the rear was filed
with ported plants and cut flowers, and
adorned with wax tapers, shaded with cute
little pink shades. Miss Katie Shewbridge
presided at the organ and to the strains of
Lohengrins wedding march the bridal party
entered the church and proceeded TO the
altar. The ushers: Mr.. Henry Rohr, DIR. 4.
C. Firebough, Mr. George n. Conrad and
MT - l. hauck, all OF hafrlSOnDurg, va,
led the way, followed by Miss Sallie Wilson,
sister of the bride, who was maid of honor
The bride, ON the arm of her uncle, Mr.. w.
n. Q. Wilson, who gave her away, met the
groom and his best man, Mr.. Owen Mac
Corllle, of Lynchburg Va, at the chancel
During the impressive ceremony the organist
rendered: "rhe Sweetest Story Ever Told"
and the sun, brushing the veil of clouds
from his face, enveloped the happy couple
in food of light Thus two young hopeful
and happy hearts were so auspiciously uni
ed and entered their new path OF life to the
strains of Mendelsshon's march, which the
organ so giadsomclv pealed as they turned
to leave the church
The bride was handsomely gowned in
green broadcloth, with trimmings of fur, and
braid and hat to match, carrying a large
bouquet of Marchiel Mel roses. The maid
of honor was becomingly dressed in hello
trOpe cloth, with velvet and chiffon trim
mings, and hat to match, and carried La
France roses. The ushers all wore Marchiel
Mel rose buds on their lappels.
On Tuesday evening the members of the
bridal party were entertained at tea at the
home of the bride. Mr.. and Mrs MacCorkIe
took the 1925 train east on the b. &. o. for
a trip to New York and Northern cities. Our
wish, that the sun, which so smilingly shone
upon the plighted vows at the altar, will
never be yelled by clouds OF disappointment,
finds an echo in the heart of every one who |
knows the charming and popular bride.

Nh. George I. Light is in hard luck. Last

Mr.. George 7, Light sin hard luck. Last
week he sent his beautiful span of blacks to
Washington via road, and the first of the
week went down in person to show and sell
them. Upon arriving he was very much
disconnected to find that one OF the pair had
badly bruised the frog ofthe foot in the drive
from this place to the city, and was in con
dition which precluded exhibition. The
span is beautiful pair, well bred and we'll
matched and would be the pride of any
owner Advocate.
