ElLlS-STEWART.
Pre- tfy Marriage Soiemnized at Union
Chapel Thursday Evening, May 10,

Communicated.
As the sun was sinking behind the
Western hills on last Thursday evening.
May 10Th, people from miles around be-
gan to assemble at Union Chapel church
to witness what proved to be one of the
prettiest marriages that has taken place
in long time-that of Mr.. Thomas p.
Stewart and Miss Nora B. Ellis.
As the soft twilight shadows were
slowly yet silently enveloping the earth,
beautiful strains of the wedding march
played by Mrs. James Davis foated out
upon the air to the sound OF which the
ushers, Messrs. Fred Finch and Jimmie
Baker, r. T. Ellis and ST. Clair Flem-
ming filed down the aisle and took posi-
ton in front of the altar. Then came
the maid OF honor, Miss Mamie Moore,
dressed in white silk, followed by the
bride leaning on the arm of her brother,
Mr.. Joseph B. Ellis, by whom she was
given away. Next came the groom &C
companied by his best man, Mr.. J. A.
Stewart.
In front OF the beautifully decorated
chancel the bride and groom met and
Rev. G. w. Holmes spoke the impressive
but ever beautiful words that linked for
life these two happy souls in the holy
bonds OF matrimony
The bride wore a lovely dress OF white
silk and carried bouquet of bride 8
roses. She is daughter of Capt. W. W.
Ellis and is young lady OF lovely
character and pleasing personality, loved
and admired by all who know her. Mr..
Stewart is most excellent young man,
an energetic and industrious farmer and
is worthy of the prize he has won.
After the marriage the bridal party
repaired to the home of Mrs. NJ A.
Stewart, mother Of the groom, where an
elobarate supper was given them. The
bride received numbers OF handsome pre-
sents both useful and ornamental.

The Vance Guards, Co. C, were out
for target practice Friday afternoon.
The rife range was On the Western
edge of town the distance shot being
300 yards. Private w. L. Duke
made the highest score, ID out of q
possible..25, and First Sergeant L. C.
Pirie was the next highest with II
points to his credit Only two bulls
eyes were made these being by Pri-
vate R. G. Burroughs and Sergeant
c. V. Poythress. Each man shot 5
times. While no expert marksman-
ship was developed the men showed
that they knew how to handle the
new guns and with practice they will
become oreprOficient.
On their return to the armory the
soldier boys had a genuine surprise.
Unknown to them Capt. Sturgess
and Lieutenants Perry and Payne
had provided nice supper. A long
table was set with chairs and every
thing in readiness when they arrived
Needless to say the surprise was a
pleasant one and the spread was
fully enjoyed by all present.

A long felt want has been met in
the Perfection combind oil stove
heater and lamp. 1t is something
needed in every household. For
heating water, sad-irons, making
coffee, chocolate and other purposes
of the kind without the necessity
and expense of making fire in the
cooking-stove or range and suffering
from the greater heat, it is the best
thing on the market. Boils water in
five minutes and can be used to do
light cooking, etc. Used as a lamp it
will light the whole room. 1t is a
household necessity and every per-
son who sees the Perfection COM
bined oil stove heater and lamp
wants one. And the price is rea-
sonable enough for everybody to get
one-$2. so. Daniel & Go. sell them.
Mr.. Daniel will take pleasure in show
ing it and demonstrating what it is
capable of doing to any person who
Is interested.

Another Vacancy at Nights.

Some time ago the number OF
young ladies who had graduated
from Hight & Co.'S jewelry store into
matrimony, was remarked upon in
these columns. Mr.. Hight says he
is not conducting a matrimonial
bureau but it has been his experience
that a young lady does not stay
with him very long before she leaves
to get married. Whether the alb
sence of the young lady who last held
the place has any special significance

Operations of the DispenSary.

From the report of the Dispensary
Board made to the Town Commits
sioners the following items are taken:
Total amount of sales for four
months ending April Both, $16, $780,
53. Of this $13,6O5.15 was for corn
whiskey, while the sales from rye whis-
key were only 81, S7S.4O; wine, beer,
etc, $76S.19. From these figures it
would appear that straight corn
liquor is the favorite article OF drink
with patrons of the dispensary.
Barrel sales, discounts, ETC.,
brought the total amount of bust
ness done for the four months up to
SIG, 53O.53, as above stated.
Total expenses including perehases
of all liquors, 81, 302.19. Assets,
inventoried, $5,575.9O. Outstand-

VANCE SUPERIOR COURT
Watson Case Continued Owing to Ir.
regularly In Drawing the Jury.


regularity In Drawing the Jury.
Vance county Superior Court con-
vened Monday morning. Judge VIM.
B. Council presiding. The drawing
of the grand jury was the first thing
proceeded with. This done the usual
charge was delivered by his Honor.
1t was a strong and well considered
charge, covering the whole range OF
offenses of which the grand jury was
to take cognizance. One hour and
twenty minutes was taken up in its
delivery. TWAS a grand jury charge,
lay sermon and temperance lecture
combined. This is Judge Councils
first courtin Vance and he has made
q fine impression upon the bar, court
officials, jurors and others.
Solicitor Charles c. Daniels was in
his place az States prosecutor.
A number of true bills were found
by the grand jury, among them one
against J. B. Watson for murder.
When this case came up the point
was made that the grand jury had
been irregularly drawn in that the
bOdIu vi COuuUy COlUIllSSiOHcfS III
making up the list had taken only
free holders or men whom they be-
lieved to be free holders as the names
were drawn from the jury box. This,
it was alleged, was a discrimination
against the non-land owning citizen
who might be just as competent for
