the West ~:rginia
building.
Special Correspondence.

West Virginia Building, Exposi-
ton Grounds. Norfolk, Va, Aug. 81
The handsome edifce of the State
was the scene Tuesday night at $50
O'Clock Of the second wedding to take
place within its portals within the
last month. 1t would seem that
West Virginia is to maintain the
reputation established for being the
first commonwealth to have It's
building dedicated with a marriage.
Virginia followed the example set by
the daughter state and two loyal
young residents of the Old Dominion
were united in wedlock in that struc-
ure week ago. However. West
Virginia bears the distinction of
having taken the initiative in this as
well as many other matters adding
to the interest of the ter-centennial
celebration.
The principals of this romantic
event were Miss Anna Mcdonald
Duncan, of Waitville, Monroe coun-
ty, and Mr.. Charles Hedrick, of
Bramwell, Mercer county The Rev.
P. S. Sailer, of Norfolk, Va, pastor
of the Christian church, oficiated at
the nuptial rites. Although the
marriage was solemnized an hour or
so after the arrival of the wedding
party at the West Virginia building
everything was arranged in an ar
tistic manner for the auspicious oc-
casion. Mrs. w. A. White, of Nor
folk, acted as maid of honor. The
wedding group entered the drawing
room to the strains of the wedding
march from Lohengrin rendered by
Miss Sylvia Ziebach, OF Pottsyille,
Pa. A modish tailored suit CT
light gray relieved by touches of
lavender was worn by the bride She
wore jaunty white hat and all her
accessories of dress were white.
A bouquet of bride roses and
delicate greenery as carried. After
best wishes were extended Mr.. and
4nrs. Hedrick refreshments were
served. The bride is the daughter
of Mr.. G. G. Duncan, a prominent
resident of Waitville. She is beau
tiful and cultured and for several
years was "a teacher in Monroe
county. Mr.. Hedrick is widely
known throughout the State, being
newspaper man of ability. He
conducts the Coalfield Enterprise,
which was edited until recently by
his father, William Hedrick. Mr..
and Mrs. Hedrick will spend their
honeymoon at the exposition, after
which they will go to Bramwell,
where they will reside.

there with a hundred dollars. so he
says, to see the town Robert H.

saloons he fen into the clutches of
Flo Campbell Policeman Larsh
came to his rescue when he and
Flo were holding forth in vacant
building on Hull alley. Larsh lock-
ed the man up for safe keeping.
When searched at the police station
1t was found that he had only $2.7O
left of the 500 he started with. He
had no idea who touched him for
the money and as he was in all sorts
and kinds of questionable resorts
before his arrest 1t was useless to
look for the lost $97.3O.
