the groom with his sister, Miss
Dora Lee Anderton, who was
maid Of honor, entered stimuli
taneOusly at the right door.
They proceeded up the aisle to

CzITRlIS ENTERTAINMENT.
A Large Array Of Talent to Appear
at the Court House on Nav g.

The entertainment that is to
take place in the Court House on
the night of Tuesday. May s,
promises to surpass in excellence
any of its predecessors. The
management have secured all Of
the best musicians and clocu-
tionists of our own county, be-
sides a number Of Others from
the outside. 1t is almost a surety
that Capt. Frank Cunningham,
Of Richmond, whose reputation
as a vocalist is second to none.
will be there to lend a helping
hand, as will also that gifted
little elocutionist Miss Lillian
Respess of Norfolk. Miss Bernice
lie Cato, who has appeared here
with her magic violin on several
occasions, will also take a prom
inent part. But Miss lie Cato
has been here so long that we
can hardly class her as an out
slider; in fact, we would much
prefer TO call her one of our own
folks. The proceeds of the en-
tertainment will be devoted to
paying off the debt of the church
and the making of many neces-
sary repairs.
