riage in which Yorkville, Due West
and Gastonia feel a common interest
. was that of James F. Thomson and
Miss Statia Wideman, which was cell
ebrated so auspiciously in Due West,
s. c., last Wednesday afternoon.
The bride, a daughter of DR.. and
Mrs ]. W. Wideman, was lately the
lady principal of Linwood college
, and is a lady of culture and unusual
accomplishments, who, by her tact,
graciousness, and administrative tai

official duties, pleasing alike in a
rare degree the students and the
management of that institution. Mr..
Thomson, the groom, until a year
ago the manager of the Thomson
company in Gastonia, is now at the
head of the new and thrifty dry
goods company bearing the same
, name in Yorkville. Quiet, unassum-

one of the best and most successful
business men to be found anywhere,
So unwilling is GastOnia to relin-
quish her claim upon him, that we
feel obliged to regard his stay In
: Yorkville as a loan which that good
Z town must some day return. At the
wedding, which was celebrated al
the home of the brides parents in
Due West at l o'clock, Mr.. ]. Flem
, Johnson of GastOnia, was best man,
and the brides sister, Miss Frances,
was maid of honor. The house was
lavishly decorated with flowers and
plants. A song by Miss Gertrude
Brownlee was followed by the we'd

piano The halls and parlor were
thronged with resident and visiting
; friends The maid of honor entered
the parlor first, and was followed by
the groom and his best man. The
bride entered with her brother, DR.
