ORDEAL OF BRIDAL COUPLE.
Unembarrassed Young Man Aston
ishes Some Passengers.

From the New \ otk sun.
The bridal couple boarded the train
at Suspension bridge. He was a
smooth faced, wcll-set-up young man
and she was a sweet pretty girl of
bride. There was a large, very hilar-
ious company of wedding guests to see
them off and as the pair struggled
from their carriage to the sleeping car
they were almost lost to view i'm show
ers of rice and flying old shoes. Even
this demonstration was not considered
adequate, and dozen or SO young men
followed them TO their seats and
poured streams Of rice over them and
down their backs until the train pulled
out, while the crowd on the platform
howlcd joyfuly.
The young couple stood the ordeal
with great courage, and after the train
had started did 50 well that before
long the rest of the passengers in the
car left off watching them and began
turning in,
The next morning the interest in
them grew again, when section after
section of the car was made up until
the bridal couples section stood alone
with it's curtains still drawn. This was
the state of things at s O'Clock, and at

fine FARM WEATHER
An Impetus Given to Farm
Work of All Kinds,
The Cotton is Coming up Slowly, Corn is All
Planted and Tobacco is About Ten
DAYS Late,
Days Late.

The Weekly Crop Bulletin for North
Carolina, issued yesterday by the
Weather Bureau here, saws a very de-
cided improvement in crop conditions
occurred during the past week. Cleal
skies and warm, dry weather gave an
impetus to farm work of all kinds, ard
rapidly advanced the growth of vegeta-
ticn which now appears green and Wig
orous. The change to summerli like
conditions was very sudden; midday
temperatures during the entire week
have been quite high, reaching maxi
mum of 81 degrees on May 3rd and all
though the nights have continued com
paratiyely cool, especially in the more
elevated western region, the mean tenn
perature was degrees above the daily
normal. Every day was bright and
sunny. There was no rainfall anywhere
during the week except a very small
amount (0.03 inches) at Weldon ard
traces at few other points.
The only disadvantageous feature
was that the soil dried out quickly
and formed a hard crust which prevent
ed seeds sown before the last rains
from coming up we'll; in the central
east portions. especially the ground has
become hard and difficult to pillow,
! Warm showers are much needed to
soften the soil and would greatly bene-
fit vegetation
Farm work was pushed rapidly dur
ing every day of the week. Planting
corn is approaching completion except
in the extreme west; early planted
came up so poorly that large amount
of replanting was necessary; in gener-
al the stand of corn is poor, but the
young plants have improved in color.
Planting cotton is now progressing
actively, and is nearly finished in most
eastern and many southern counties
Almost all the land first seeded to COZ
ton had to be replowed and planted
| over Cotton is coming UP slowly, and
needs warm showers to promote ger
mination and growth. Some peanuts
have been planted
Ground for tobacco is being prepar-
ed, and transplanting will begin in the
east as soon as showers occur; tobac-
| co plants have grown actively, but are
| about 10 days late.
Wheat, oats and rye are beginning
to head; the prospect for these crops
| is very promising; spring oats are moi
| doing so we'll and need more rain.
Gardens have nearly all been plant
| ed, and much improvement is noted
vegetables have become more abundant
| Truck crops are now growing nicely
and shipments of most of the earl
vegetables are increasing. Late plant
| ed Irish potatoes are doing WELL the
stand of early potatoes is poor Larg1
/ shipments of strawberries are being
made, but the crop is late and short.
