Don't Give up the Slip,

ROWLAND-WATKINS.
" Two Souls With But a Single
Thought, Two Hearts That Beat as
One.''

One"
Merrily rang the marriage bells at
the Presbyterian church Tuesday
night. The occasion was the solem-
nizing OF the nuptial rites between
two OF Hender>on's most estimable
young people. Mr.. Simon Kittrell
Rowland and Miss Sudie Watkins.
The church was crowded beyond
its fullest seating capacity. 1t had
been beautifully decorated for the oc-
casion and under the glaring light of
the chandeliers it was most brilliant
and enhancing scene that was pre-
sented to view
A few minutes after 9 o'clock the
first soft strains of the wedding march
awaked the audience to keenest in
terest and moment later the bridal
party entered in the order named:
The ushers. Messrs. John Thomas,
c. A. Lewis and Jas H. Lassiter, Jr.. =.
moved down the front aisle while
Messrs. j. II. Bridgers, b. H. Bur-
roughs and L. W. Barnes advanced
from the opposite side taking posi-
tions around the altar. Next came
the attending couples, Misses Alice
Rowland and Ethel Dorsey from the
right, and Messrs. Thomas Watkins
and Charlie Elmore from the left.
Misses Lucy Bullock and Lemme
Jordan from the left, Messrs. John
Horton and VIII L. Watkins right.
Misses Cornelia Currin and Matte
Malone right, Messrs. w. F. Morris
and r. B. Crowder left.
Then the flower girls, Misses Claud
Hunter and Ida Rowland from the
right, and Misses Julia Rowland and
Rebecca Watkins from the left, each
carrying an exquisite bouquet.
Following these came the groom
with his best man, Mr.. Henry Macy,
from the right, and the bride-elect
accompanied by her sister, Miss Fan
ME Watkins, as maid of honor. Meet
ing at the altar the couple joined
hands and in most beautiful and
impressive manner the words that
united their young lives in the sacred
ties OF matrimony were pronounced
by the officiating clergyman, Rev. A..
X. Shaw.
A lovelier scene has not been look
ed upon in Henderson. The bride
wore a lovely gown of white silk, en-
train, with flowing veil fastened with
orange blossoms, and carried mag
niticent bouquet of brides roses.
The maid of honor and bridesmaids
were attired in white while the gen
tlemen appeared in full evening dress.
Miss Fanny Burton was organist,
and never did she preside with greater
skill and grace.
From church the bridal party re-
paired to the residence of the brides
father, Mr.. John B. Watkins, on
Turner avenue, where an elegant re-
ception was given them. This was
one OF the most charming and en-
ioyable features of the kind and an
event long to be remembered by those
present.
The bride and groom are among
Henderson's best known and most
worthy and popular young yeople.
Mrs. Rowland is the eldest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. John b. Watkins, as
lovely in character as she is charm
ing in person. Mr.. Rowland is the
second son of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
w. Rowland, and is one of the val
ued and trusted employees of the Sea-
board Air Line. In entering upon
the marriage relation both have a
host of friends and we'll wishers who
trust that long life and happiness may
be vouched safe to them
The gifts to the bride were numer-
Gus and handsome.

DR.. Hufham Resigns.

On Sunday morning last Rev. J. d..
Hufham, ID. D., rendered to his con-
gregation his resignation as pastor
of the Baptist church. This action
was not altogether a surprise much
as it was regretted by DR.. Hufham' S
friends and admirers. His health has
become somewhat enfeebled and his
strength is hardly equal to the de-
mands made upon him. He said he
could preach for them but he was
not able to do pastoral duty, that is
visit and do personal work among
his congregation as he should, rs they
had a right to expect, therefore he
felt it was but just to them and to
himself that he resign.
DR.. Hufham's resignation has not
been acted upon as yet but it is un-
derstood that in Difference to his
wishes it will be accepted, to take ef-
feet in August or September.
What DR.. Hufham's plans are TO,
| the future we are not advised, but ii
is likely he will devote his time mainly
to literary work for while at least
and to doing special work and preach
ing occasionally in different parts o.

Death OF an Aged and Estimable

MIS-. AIN N. NlSSlnS, one OF the

tered into rest April 18th, at 6
O'Clock p. H., at the home of her SON
in-law, Mr.. f. L. Currin, at Mr.. Geo
A. Harris, in the seth year Of her
age. The funeral was held at l
O'Clock Monday from the residence of
Mr.. Thomas Currin, Rev. J. S. Will
liams, pastor, conducting the service.
The body was taken to Dabney and
buried by the side of her husband
who preceded her to the grave twenty
years ago.
Mrs. Virgins was married at the
age of 81 years to Mr.. G. G. Wiggins.
She was converted in early life, at
the age of 16 years, and was a member
of the Methodist Protestant church
since 1928, the year in which that
church was first established in North
Carolina.
Her first membership was at Har-
ris' meeting house, then at Reho beth,
and when the church was organized
in Henderson she transferred her
membership here where it remained
until her death. She had been an
invalid the past two years but waited
patiently for the summons of the
Master and when it came died as
naturally and peacefully as one going
to sleep.
One who was long and intimately
acquainted with Mrs. Wiggins said
she was one of the best women he ever
knew, an ernest, sencere Christian.
Deceased leaves two daughters, Mrs.
E. L. Currin and Miss Bette Wiggins
Two aged brothers survive her,
