Love at First Sight.

There was a quiet marriage
here last Monday that was a re-
suit of what is generally termed
love at first sight. The con-
tracing parties were Miss Mamie
Howerton, formerly of Roanoke,
Va, and Mr.. Frank Bennett, of
New York. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. E. M. Hoyle,
pastor of Mangum Street Metho-
dist church.
The bride came here some time
ago from Roanoke, Va, has been
stenographer for General ]. S.
Carr. The groom came to Dur
ham from New York, and had
known his bride just one week
before marriage. The couple
went up to Greensboro, where
they spent several days before
coming back to Durham. They
will remain in Durham for two
weeks or more before leaving for
their future home in the North.

PhOtOQFaphS Of Snakes.

The Sparks shows that We're
here last Monday carried two or
more large snakes that We're ex-
hibited in the side show.
During the morning the man.
ager went up to the Photographic
studio of Miss Katie Johnson and
wanted to know if she could
make some negatives for him.
After being assured that he
could get them, he called for a
strong string with which to tie a
tow sack that he carried in his
hand. After he was gone Misses
johnson, Morris and Wheeler
were wondering what was in the
sack, and one of them went over
and tried to ascertain, but in a
very careful manner.
Their feelings can better be
imagined when they learned upon
the return of the show man that
the sack contained two large
snakes, and that he wanted some
photos made with the lady that
handles the snakes holding them
up. The photos were made, and
before the snakes were carried
away the young ladies were
over the shock and did not mind
touching them, or lifting the
sack after they were placed
therein.
Miss Johnson says she does
not mind making the photograph
Of a snake If he would lust be
still long enough"

Bound Over 10 Court.

Seaton Carlton, a negro, was
before the mayor last Tuesday on
the charge of carrying concealed
weapons. When arrested at the
show grounds last Monday it was
found that he had a pistol, a
razor and one or two pocket
knives in his pocket, the knives
being ready for business. He
was bound over to the superior
court in a bond of SIS, which he
could not give and was locked up
in Jail.
Besides the charge of carrying
concealed weapon, it was report
ed to the police Monday that he
had cut a hole in the tent of one
of the dressing rooms at the cir
Gus, so that he could see the ac-
tresses as they went to the dress
ing room. No charge was made
against him on this score as the
circus people would not be near
here when the superior court
was in session

The Call for City Election.

At an adjourned meeting Of
the city aldermen last Monday
night the call for the regular
election was issued. and the cleo
ton will be held on May Z, 1907.
Registrars and judges for the
election were named, and the
question of issuing bonds accord
ing to the bill passed in the last
legislature, namely-$275, 900 for
street improvements and $25, 900
for sewerage-was discussed, af-
ter which it was decided to ask
for a vote on only $3.50, 900 of the
bonds to be issued at this time,
and they for street improvement.
This was thought to be the wisest
step at this time.
