WOOD-CLOYES

Probably the most pleasant and
home-like wedding McCrory has
ever known was that Of Wednes-
day morning uniting Miss Lena
lone Cloyes, of this city and Mr..
Herman E. Wood, of Weldon.
The groom is an excellent young
man of more than ordinary bust
ness ability who has spent his past
life near Tip and in McCrory. For
more than year he was book
keeper for E. T. Wherry, a pros
porous merchant of this place, and
has many friends here. Some four
weeks ago he resigned his position
at the store of E. 7. Wherry and
went to Weldon to accept posit-
ion with the extensive firm of Nc
Donald & Bond. The bride is the
beautiful and accomplished daugh-
ter of Rev. A. G. Cloyes, and has
many friends here who wish her
much happiness during her voy-
age through life.
At 10 80 o'clock sharp the guests
assembled in the parlor of the par
sOnage where the ceremony was
performed by the brides father,
Rev. A. G. Cloyes.
After the ceremony the bride
and groom received the congratu-
lations of their friends. The pres
ents received by Mr.. and Mrs.
Wood were not only handsome and
beautiful but embraced every con-
ceit of silverware, linens, and brio
a-brac.
On the evening following, Mr..
and Mrs. Wood left for Tennessee
where they will visit for several days
after which time they will return to
Weldon, Ark, where they will
make their future home. Just be-
fore bidding their friends goodbye,
they were generously showered
with rice, without which no cere-
mony is complete.
They are a prominent and well
known people and have the best
wishes of large circle of friends,
among whom The News desires to
to be included.

this issue and also to the new ones.
The merchants of our city appre-
ciate your trade and take this means
of telling you of any bargains they
may have to offer and also to an
nounce the arrival of new goods
which are placed at your disposal
and inspection. By closely watch
ing the columns of this paper you
will learn the names of our bust
ness men who invite you to deal
with them and you can rest assur-
ed that they viii treat you right.
A merchant who does not care
enough for your trade to ask you
to visit his store and who does not
inform you of the many bargains
he may have to offer is hardly worth
your patronage. The progressive
merchant will always let his GUS
toners know of the arrival of new
goods at once, and the way for our
merchants to do this is through
the columns of this paper which
goes into almost every home in the
county.

Trick NORTH, the dealer. reasons that
East, having doubled without command of
his long suit (diamonds). must have two re-
entries. and as he and dummy have all the
clubs and the king of both the other suits
East's re-entries must be the ace Of hearts
and ace of spades. If North takes this trick
he must lead clubs. and dummy, having
only the ace and king, would hold the lead
and be obliged to lead hearts or spades up
to the doubling hand.
Northfs play then is to get two discards
for dummy's hand, to rid It of the ace and
king OF clubs, SO he refuses to win the king
Of diamonds.

The emblem originally bore the por.

imperial crown. Coppee tells us, in
the beginning the order comprised 16
cohorts" each having chief, seven
grand officers, 20 majors-now called
commsnders-13 officers and ESQ
legionaries. To each grade salaries
were attached, from the great eagle,
who received 10000 francs, to the
simple chevalier, who obtained mod

established for the daughters Of the
legionaries, on whom the emperor re.
served the right of bestowing dowries.
At their initiation all the members
were required to pledge their support
to the defense Of the state and of the
liberties achieved by the revolution.
In 1892 the order numbered 1881
members of all classes. BY law Of
