Miss Rosa Belle Dunlop, of Balti-
more, who was widely known in
Henderson where she has frequently
visited, and Rev. Dunbar Gould, a
talented and promising young minis
ter of the Episcopel church, were
married on the Bird inst. The GER
emory was performed by Bishop
Paret, the distinguished prelate of
Maryland, and the event was an in
teresting one.
In his newspaper correspondence
last week Col. +. A. Odds wrote as
follows concerning our distinguished
townsman Col. Burgwyn, whom we
all know to be a gallant and daring
soldier: 1T is said that as many as
thirty persons are applicants for the
commission as colonel of the First
Regiment of volunteers. There are
good reasons for belief that Col. w.

Nice Fitted Up Lodge Room.

The Improved Order Heptasophs
have got their lodge room in the
Young & Tucker building nicely and
comfortable fitted up. Mating has
just been put down on the floor and
stands or rOstrums made for the
principal officers, and with some
slight additions and improvements
still to be made they will have a
lodge room of which this or any
Order might well be proud. 1t is
spacious, conveniently arranged and
we'll located.
TO the Industrious and enthu siastic
efforts of MIR. H. c. Linthicum the
Heptasophs are indebted for the good
shape they found their lodge room in
at Tuesday nights conclave, he having
superintendent and done much of the
work himself ''for the good of the
Order" and vote of thanks was
unanimously given him accordingly.

The Vance Guards Failed to Get in the
Second Regiment for Lack of Men
and Time to Get the Required
Number.

The Vance Guards cannot enlist in
the United States army until another
call is made for troops Of it ever is).
SO says Adjutant General Cowles in
telegram to Capt. Jones Tuesday
afternoon.
Capt. Jones was endeavOring TO
recruit his company to the required
number-s4 men-and was hopeful
that he would get into the Second
Regiment before the quota was made
up. experimenting that he could not
raise the maximum number he and
Lieutenants Smith and Poythress and
Col. Henry Perry went to Raleigh
Monday afternoon to see about the
matter in person. 1t seems that
from what they gathered they would
be allowed to 90 with what men they
had-between 80 and 6O-and recruit
the company in camp.
Capt. Jones telegraphed orders
here to get the men together in uni
form and it was expected that they
would 60 to Raleigh at once-perhaps
Wednesday. He came home tuesday
with the understanding that he would
be given until 6 o'clock that after
noon to get his company in position
to proceed to Raleigh. But about 3
O'Clock dispatch was received from
Gen. Cowles telling him that other
| companies had been ordered to re-
port at Camp Grimes. Immediately
| and that the Vance Guards would
have to await the next call.
| hn ,As
and men who had volunteered are
quite sore over the matter. Their
| disappointment is as keen as their
enthusiasm was lively; but they have
done all they could under the cir
cumstances and no criticism or blame
| attaches to them in the least.

FAIRBROTHER'S POEM.
No. Fell Down Before the Censor
and He Makes Second Effort.

We are sorry to learn that our
prize poem on the unwilling of the
Mecklenburg monument at Charlotte,
on May Goth, for which we expected
to receive $50 failed to pass the poem
censor, and accordingly we write
another, as we have made arrange
ments for $50 about May 21st. The
poem contains little less pathos
than the other one, but it is chainless
and ball-bearing and '98 model,
which, we take it, will have great
weight with the committee.
The poem has not been given a
title yet, but it flows thusly:
Eternal Fame needs neither brass
nor bronze nor granite pile nor
epitaph nor top of column next
reading matter pure and loaded e.
o. d. to proclaim to any curious
passer-by that some one saved his
Jack!
And vet its meet that we to-day
yank from this cold and pulseless
marble slab this 29 cent polka-dot
Atwood and yard wide veil and
show to sinners yet to be that man
one tit and died for that Sweet
Boom called Liberty.
They wrenched the shackles from
the human slaves and sold 'em
for old iron and set up
country at the Old Stand
and by the people.
And up to the hour of going to press
still undecided is the problem
| WHO ARE THE PEOPLE
| OF whom they spoke?
But men will come and men will go,
| A-talkin' through their hat;
| And through their whiskers wind viii
blow
| SO we let it 60 at that!
n. b. At the regular rate thi
poem is really worth $65, but s
certified check for $50 will settle thu
| bill.-The Fardgo.

Ready to Respond to The Call of Duty

young man. member OF the
Vance Guards who resides in the
country. came in Tuesday morning
for a load of supplies and was i'm
mediately called on to appear at the
armory. He had previously enlisted
for the army and as soon as he was
notified when the company was order
ed to move he went home to make
preparations for his departure with
the company whenever it is called to
report for duty. That young man is
made of the right stuff-the material
from which heroes are evolved when
great crises came. This young man
was Walter Bowden. But for some
cause the company was not called
on to go to Raleigh as expected,
Capt. Jones being wired that the
Vance Guards would have to wait
for the second call for troops Gf it is
