Mrs. Fannie White, the be-
loved young wife of A. H. White
of Nola, died on Thursday, March

four little ones, aged seven, five,
three years, and 6 days old, re-
spectively, to mourn their irrepara-
bic loss.
Mrs. White was, formerly,
Miss Fannie McTargett and was
reared in the family of her father
in-law, the husband and wife thus
having been associated throughout
the greater part of their lives. She
had been a consecrated member of
the Holly Springs Baptist church,
and exemplified her faith in her
life of devotion to duty and the
cause of Christ. At the early age
of a, Mrs. White was called upon
to leave her earthly house and to
enter mansions prepared for such
as.she in the glorified Kingdom.
The funeral services were con-

ing friends, with whom the
Leader unites in commiseration in

row. May the" grace sufficient
attend the bereaved.

Do You Want Strength?

II you want to increase your strength
you must add to aud not take from
the physical. In other words, the
food that you eat must be digested,
assimilated and appropriated by the
nerves, blood and tissues before being
expelled from the intestines. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure adds to the physical.
It gives strength to and builds up the
strength in the human system. 1t
is pleasant to the taste and palatable,
and the only combination of digestants
that will digest the food and enable
the system to appropriate all of its
health and health-giying qualities.

A Pretty Wedding.

A more beautiful ceremony
was never perfol med in our city,
than that of last Wednesday even
ing, when DR.. I. Lewinthal in
words, glowing and eloquent, pro-
nouneed the bonds that united for
life, Miss Esther Priebatsch, of
this city and Mr.. Henry G. Green
wood, of Washington, D. G.
The spotless walls of Temple
B'nai Sholom, illuminated by myr-
lads of electric lights, appeared
a fitting canvas, upon which the
deft brush of the painter had left
in living green exquisite palms,
ferns and bowers of graceful gar
lands. In the centre the same
hand had placed lovers knot of
BRIDES roses and pink carnations,
suspended by ribbons of satin
sheen and the eye rested and was
refreshed until the scene became
animated by the browning glory
of creation and emotion began to
culver into oeing.
First appeared the commanding
figure of the distinguished Rabbi,
who is an uncle of the bride; then
as Lohengrin's wedding march de-
scended in floods of melody, the
painters brush swept in grace
full curves and richer tones
of life and love, when Mrs.
A. III. Simon matron of hon
or, Miss Adele Priebatsch, maid
of honor, and Misses Richie
Wilson and Stella Benjamine,
bridemaids, each gowned in ex-
quisite, softly flowing lobes of
white and carrying great punches
of pink carnations tied with
|streamers Of pink ribbon, stood
within the bower of beauteous
green. The scene was perfected
when the groom advanced, and the
bride, supported by her brother
Leon, took her place beside her
acceptd lover. Mr.. Moses Green
wood oil. New York, was best man,
and Messrs Julius Priebatsch and
Max Lewinthal acted in the capac-
ity of ushers. The wedding march
was played by Mrs. Claude
Bowen and Miss Vivion.
Mrs. Greenwood, who is a tall
and graceful brunette, appeared a
typical bride in white chiffon
over white .taffeta, with veil and
all desirable and admirable acces-
series. The appearance of the
whole party was highly eulogized.
After the ceremony a dinner
was served at the home of the
brides mother, Mrs. M. Priebatsch,
after which The young couple left
for bridal tour to prominent
cities and places North and East.
Sumptuous wedding gifts attest
ed the esteem in which the fair
bride is held in this city, where
she was born and reared and
where there are none who know
aught to mar her beautiful charac-
ter and deserved reputation for all
that is womanly and iovable.
The Leader extends ITS pro-
found good wishes.

much behind with their work and they are
pushing their plowing and seeding as fast as
possible. Fall wheat has good stand and
thai which was water soaked has regained its
color. IL has made a splendid growth during
the week Early spring seeded wheat. oats,
barley and early garden truck have gerfnin-
ate6 nicely Hops are making rapid advRnce-
nent and the growers are having difficulty in
keeping up with the work OF twining and
training the vines
Pasturage and stock are much improved
cattle are picking up in flesh and the how OF
milk in the dairy districts has greatly in
creased. In most sections there is sufficient
green feed for stock and they do not have
20 be FED hay Goat shearing is nearly com
pleted. and sheep shearing is becoming gen
ersl The goat clip Is about the average The
los OF lambs and Young cattle is not great
as formerly estimated
There Is a profusion of fruit bloom in all
sections % the State. Early cherries. aprf-
cots ard peaches are shedding their bloom.
and 81 is expected that the young fruit will
set unusually thick There have been no dam
