FIFTEEN YEARS AGO TO-DAY.
y Beautiful Celebration of the Union
of Hearts.

Thomasville, N. c., June Is
Especial. LAST Saturday evening Mr..
and Mrs. Everett w. Gates opened
their beautiful new home for the first
time, and that to jolly party of in
and out of town friends, who gathered
there to help them celebrate the fiji
teenth anniversary of their wedding
day. The long approach. through the
oak trees to this elegant semi-subur-
ban home was most brilliantly lighted.
This beautiful scene, together with the
soft strains of the orchestra music
which seemed to float down from the
top of the trees, in some slight way
prepared the incoming one for the
splendid scene that met his eyes on en-
tering the house. Central in this pic
ture were, of course, Mr.. and Mrs.
Gates, looking not a whit older but in
tensely more happy than they did on
some such evening fifteen years ago,
who were receiving the guests in their
characteristic, happy, affable manner.
Mrs. Gates was dressed in pure white
crepe de chine. The halls and rooms
were tastefully decorated in white ana
green. And these same colors were
worn by bevy of pretty young girls,
all being special friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. Gates only daughter, Miss Mar
garet, who is just stepping from beau
tiful girlhood into WinSome maiden
hood. By looking at the gorgeous dis
play of cut glass one could easily >es-
innate that this bride and groom of
fifteen years standing. are held in the
highest esteem by friends in this town
and in distant cities.
Most elegant refreshments were fur
nished by Dughi of Raleigh, and the
cutting of the brides cake caused no
end of merriment, and possibly a few
hearts to beat quicker in anxious eX-
pectation.
Among the out of town guests were:
DR.. and Mrs. w. A. Lambeth, of the
University of Virginia; Mr.. and Mrs.
Ben Best of High Point; Mrs. De
Shazo, of Charlotte; Mr. Will Jones, of
High Point; Mr.. and Miss Fairbanks,
of Wallingford, Conn; Mr.. William
Adder, of New York City.
The number of Mr.. and Mrs. Gates
friends in Thomasville is coincident
with the population. So if the names
of the invited friends in Townsville
We're given here the last census would
have to be consulted.

Before the Altar at Leaksville

cial.) morning at 10 a.
M. a beautiful marriage took place in
the Methodist church here when Mr.
n. r. Reid and Miss Fannie Haller
Williams, both of this city, were
united in WedlQck.
Before the entrance of the bridal
party Mrs. A. It. Hopper sang with
finest effect 1.-The Sweetest Story Ever
Told and as the enhancing notes of
the song died away, the organ, under
the sllillful touch of Mrs. r. W. Field,
pealed forth the wedding march, and
the beautiful and accomplished maid
of honor, Miss Hattie King, entered
followed by the dainty little Miss An
mis- Moir, who carried the ring. Next
came the beautiful bride on the arm
of her brother Mr. S. M. Harris, and
proceeding to the altar. she was met
by the groom, who had entered with
his best man, Mr.. Fletcher Reid, of
Oanville. The uSherS were: MeeerS.
w. B. Wilson, A. D. Ivie, Percy Will
liams, Miller Chambers, H. p. Lane,
and DIR. ]. b. Ray followed, and as a
solemn stiffness fell Rev. d. e. Field,
assisted by Rev. A. l.. Stanford, per-
formed the ceremony that united the
lives and destinies of the young
couple.
AT the conclusion of the ceremony
the party left the church to the strains
of the bridal chorus, superbly rem
dered by a choir of trained voices.
The newly married couple left at once
for Asheville, where they will spend
some time.
The bride is one of the most popu-
lar young ladies of this section of the
State, endowed with rare charms of
mind and person and with a sweet
and gentle disposition that wins all
with whom she comes in contact. She
has always been a great favorite with
old and young, endearing herself to
all by her beautiful character and
the nobleness of her life.
The fortunate groom is the youngest
son of that noted divine, DIR. n. F..
Reid, and inherits much of the brill
liancy of mind and nobility of char
acter of his distinguished father. At
ter leaving college he was for time
on the editorial staff of the Danville
Register, where he made a splendid
reputation. He is now connected
with one Of the great corporations at

WOMAN and

THE race is not to the swift.
Nor the battle to the strong"
The God of gods our souls uplift
When Love is in the song!
That Love-heaven's peace in strife
That even in ruin lives;
The crucifixion of life
That suffers and forgives!
Love that for all mankind
Makes affairs of each clod-
The undying Star that leads the blind
To the victor-hills of God!
