the most popular and successful mer-
chants Of the town. Long before the
hour set for the ceremony, because Of
the great popularity Of these young
people, the church was filled with their
friends.
Promptly at the hour, while Miss
Maggie Reid presided a the organ with
her usual grace and skill, the little
flower and ribbon girls, Misses Cora
Hunt, Kate Blacknall, Marguerite

his iaithiulness to duty he won the con-
fidence and esteem Of the railroad Otii

to him hosts OF warm and fast friends.
He was married to Miss Cornelia \.

Misses Josie and Pattie Gill, at the
residence of Mr.. d. II. Gill, Clerk of

those old plantation airs and break
downs peculiar to ante-bellum times,
such as "Arkansaw traveller, Heather
breeches,'' soap suds against the
fence" "forty acres and mule and
a host of other plantation melodies.
But the most enjoyable feature of the
occasion was the refreshments which
were served about | / O'Clock and con-
sisted of home made candy which was
pronounced by all TO be the best it had
ever been the pleasure Of the partcl-
pants to enjoy. That feature Of the

coy young maidens Miss Rute was pre-
vailed upon as a climax to the occasion
to give us some choice selections from
Beethoven and Faust Y.

Criminal Court.

In our article last week Oh this subs
iect, we endeavOred to show that thl
court was heavy expense to the tax
payers of Vance county and entirely
unnecessary. In showing this we re-
viewed the present docket Of our Su-
perior court and were made by the
printer to say that the amount involved
in the whole docket was only $1,000
or $500 when it should have been
1920 or $500. and could in the opin-
ion Of every competent judge be settled
for 500 or $500 and not for 500 or
$500 as the error showed. The out
side involved in the five cases on the
summons docket should have been
stated as $1,000 and not $1,000, as
printed.
1t is very good news to give that
the judiciary committee Iii the Leglsla-
ture have seen proper to report favor
ably the bill to take our county out OF
the criminal district. Let the good
work 90 on.
