Perry-Mc. Kinney.

A brilliant social event of the
past week was the marriage of
Mr.. Matthew Perry, formerly of
Rayne, to Miss Nellie L. Nc. Kin
ney, of Rocky Mount, which oc-
Cured Sunday afternoon, at the
residence of the BRIDES father.
just before the appointed hour,
the doors of the beautifully dec
grated parlor were thrown open to
admit the numerous guests.
Promptly at 4 o'clock, the slow
measured tread of footsteps was
heard descending the winding
stairway and a few minutes later
the bridal cortege entered. First
came the maid of honor and only
attendant, Miss Minnie Robson
on the arm of Mr.. Hugh Me- Kin
ney, the groom's best man, next
came the bride and groom.
The bride, a tall and handsome
brunette, never looked more beau
tiful than in her robe of castor
broadcloath enhanced with brown
panne velvet. cream medallions
and ecru over white silk. In her
hair nestled two lovely white ros-
es. The maid of honor, sweet
little brunette, wore a gown of
soft white te1tcre and presented
the appearance of a fairy queen.
The ceremony, which was inn
pressively performed by Mr..
Zeigler, was one of the neatest
that has been witnessed in Rocky
Mount for some time. Bro. Zeig-
ler's congratulation was followed
by mrny others after which the
guests quietly departed leaving
many handsome presents.
The happy young douple went
Immediately to housekeeping in
their coy cottage near Rocky
Mount. The writer wishes them q
long, happy and prosperous life.

TO
LEAVE MAY %

Captain Rodman, Commandant of the
Naval Station, received a lengthy ca
blegram from Commander Pond yester-
day, stating that he would leave San
which will arrive here May 20. The
commander said he would be accom-
panied by Ensign Smith and Midship-
man Arwine, who have also been or
dered to the Iroquois for duty. Pond
stated that Captain Rodman would re-
tain command of the Iroquois, intimat-
ing that he himself would be only a
passenger on the expedition to Midway
The tug will remain there until the
Guam Midway cable section Is laid, af
ter which the vessel will return to Hon.
olulu, arriving here probably in time
for the opening of the entire system
from San Francisco to Manila.
The plan of Commander Pond is to
spend only two days in Honolulu be-
fore proceeding to sea. as he is anxious
to reach Midway by June l. The Iro-
quois will probably be locked before his
arrival and put in the best possible
trim, her bunkers filed and about thir-
ty tons of coal placed on deck. Com
mander Pond says this additional coal
supply will probably not be needed,
but the Iroquois steams better ,in that
trim.
Among Commander Ponds instruc-
tions are to secure data for lighthouse,
buoys and wharves at Midway. 1t is
the plan of the department to make the
best possible use of Midway as a calling

Emulsion of cod-liver oil than
to anything that you can take
and if persistently used a few
days, will break up the cold.
When you awake in the
night choked up and cough.

Emulsion, and you will get
immediate relief, where no
cough medicine will give you
relief. 1t has a soothing and
healing effect upon the throat
