The groom with his best man, Mr..
Louis Wiley of New York, met her as
she entered, and the Hebrew marriage
ceremony was then performed by Rev.
DR. 1. P. Mendes.
The brides gown was of white panne

handWork. A princess effect was given
by an exquisite front panel of seed

Mrs. Abrahams was gowned in black
Chantilly lace over white silk.
Mrs. Brickner, the groom's mother,
wore a robe of black lace.
At o'clock there was a small re-
ception to which only the most init
mate friends of the family had been
invited. Refreshments were served
from the dining room, and on the side
veranda which had been enclosed for
the occasion, and was brightly illum-
mated by electric globes fastened in
the vines of smilax that yelled the can
vas. At the conclusion of the evening,
the members of the bridal party were
entertained at supper in the dining
room. The scheme of color in this
room was white and green, novel and
pretty idea being seen in the decora-

ordinary damask. had dainty covering
of white organdie, laid upon an under
cloth of Nile green Around the edge,
were draped white ribbons intertwined

PLENTY OF ROOM.

Everybody had heard of the old
joke about the conductor of the omni-
bus who innocently inquired Can you
squeeze another lady in there?" and
got the answer Pass her in and we'll
try.f But 1t was a new one when
the Thunderbolt car stopped off the
Yacht Club and the man with the cap
said Hey, can you squeeze small
boy inside?" pass the boy in" was
the reply, and then the passengers
were sorry they spoke.
The small boy had been dressed up
and told to be good and If there are
any two things calculated to send
small boy to trouble 1t is just those.
The car was full as a sausage when
it stopped, but in minute it was
noted that a way was being made,
and with splash and a squtter Mr..
Smallboy arrived. leaving a trial of
water and mud along the aisle. He
was sight, and those who dared
began to laugh Without the least
hesitation the youngster made for
space where it appeared fairy might
wedge in, and instantly there was room
enough for two fat women. Down he
Topped and the water flew right and
left.
Wow" said a weT-dressed man
nearby as he ducked and then reached
for a strap. Guess 1 don't want to
sit down anyway"
The boy wiggled, and shower of
nice, reddish black river water flew
in half circle about him, and the
number of seats vacant near him in
creased. He noted the apparent shy
ness of the crowd and seemed
amused. Mamma and papa were as
far off as they could get, looking as
though they didn't want to be recog-
nized as owning the curly headed rep
rebate, who sat in muddy state and
the wreck of beautiful white and
blue sailor suit.
~ felIdlin the duck pond" he final
ly announced to the crowd, and the
merriment that had been only half
checked broke forth. Mammals face
got redder than the flowers on her
hat and papa changed hands on the
straps and looked out the window, but
the people forgave the baby for the
inconvenience he was causing, and
there were some in the car who would
have Rugged him, mud and all, If
they had dared.

Press of sister States.


Press of sister States.
The press of both North and South
Carolina have recently contained many
complimentary accounts of Mrs. Percy
Wickenburg's appearance in public in
cities in those states.
Mrs. wickenburgs rich soprano voice
never fails to excite favorable COM
ment wherever it is heard, and the
congregation of the Independent Pres
byterian Church rightly consider them
selves fortunate in having obtained
her services in their choir. Among
the notices is one from the Wilson
On. CO Daily Times, as follows:
"Our people have been looking for
ward for sometimes with great pleas
ure to the entertainment under the
auspices of the ladies connected with
the library, and last night they were
not disappointed, for among the splen-
did entertainments that have been
given in Wilson this was decidedly
among the best.
''The feature Of the evening, of
course, was the singing of Mrs Percy
Wickenburg, of Savannah, Ga, sing
er who has an enviable reputation in
marry Southern cities. Her voice is
rich soprano, round, full and free, her
notes clear and enunciation distinct,
and the applause she received showed
that her singing was thoroughly APP

Nelson and Gardner Are the New
Aldermen for ThunderbOIt.
Only one registered voter of the town
of Warsaw failed to cast his ballot at
the election of two aldermen yester-
day. but the single vote would not
have changed the result, the adminis-
tratior ticket winning out by three
votes.
Ex-Mayor l.. w. Nelson and August
Gardner each received % votes, and
Candidates William Grey and w. M
Kidwell got twenty votes each The
total registration of the town is for
4 ty-four votes. The election was not
/ attended by any exciting scenes, and
Magistrate C. v. Hohenstein, who was
the DISTINGUISHED person in charge, had
rather easy time of it on the whole.
A large number of the votes cast
were challenged, but every person was
permitted to vote. ana there will be no
contest. The victory for the admins
tration forces means that Thunderbolt
will remain as IL has always been-an
open town.
