A Bunch of QUESTIONS.

These constitute a splendid bunch OF
questions. Each and every one plays an
important part in the future OF the
stock market. and If the reader can

interroga tories to his own satisfaction,

taking the matrimonial vows. The
wedding took place ct the home of
Rev j. J Castleberry. Mr. Pace was
in town Wednesday, and making prep
arations for the marriage of his
friend, Mr. Robinson, hence there
was no thought of his own marriage
at the present time, although 1t was
understood by the closest friends that
1t would take place In September
There were no witnesses except Rev.
Castleberry's family and Mrs Lydwell
Garner.
Mrs. Pace is the daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. O. p Hardy, and is recog-
nized as one OF the most beautiful Of
all our young ladies. That is onlyone
of her attractions, however. She isl
accomplished in mind and charming
in manner, and popular altogether.
Mr.. Pace.is native of Illinois and
a descendant OF one Of the best fami-
lies in that State. Heis a young gen.
tleman of fine business qualifications

JUNE WEDDINGS.
RoBfNsoN-cALHoUN.

ROBTNsON-CALHoUN.
Mr. Geo Robinson and Miss Florence
Calhoun were married at the Metho.
dist Church 10 this city on Wednes-
day night, June II, by Rev j.
Castleberry.
The wedding took place just as
prayer meeting was closing, large
number Of friends being present.
The doxology was sung and without
further announcement Miss Mary
Swiggart began to play wedding
march Then came the bride and
groom and just as they reached the
altar Mr.. Tate and Miss Swiggart be-
gan playing an organ and eornet rem
dition of the popular song from "Rob-
in Hood, " 20 Promise Me-" The GER
emony by Rev. Castleberry was full of
interest and import. 1t was appro-
pirate and the scene was impressive
indeed.
After t he nuptials the wedding
party were entertained at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. III. #. Robinson on
Exchange street
The groom is the sonof Mr.. and Mrs.
II. f. Robinson. 1t requires no effort
to speak in complimentary terms of
the young man, and this is hardly
necessary for the reason that he is
almost as well known as his esteemed
father, and who is it that doesn't
know Harry Robinson. The same
character that comes from the lest
vein of Irish and Scotch ancestry de-
scends to the son. He is worthy of
the praise and the gentle lady who
has become his life companion. Mr..
Robinson has charge of the tailoring
department of the house of Robinson
& Son, in which he has achieved an
enyiable distinction.
The bride is native of the county
and one of our fairest daughters. For
some years she has been a resident of
this city, esteemed alike for personal
beauty and lovable character. She is
a companion In the truest sense of the
term.
The congratulations were whole
some and hearty.
A large number Of valuable presents
were also received.

Complimentary to her friend, Miss
Louise Jenkins,-of Brownsville, Miss
Katy Robinson entertained a number
of friends last Thursday night. One
of the features of the occasion was a
literary contest. A quotation was
given and the name of the author.
The answer was the name Of the book
in which it was found. After this an
auction was held and boxes were sold,
with contents unknown. This fea-
ture furnished a considerable amount
Of amusement. The parlor was nicely

While standing watching his father who is employed on the work on paw ing State street, Tony Farscano, ht- tie S-years-old Italian lad of BOT East street, was run into and slightly in- jured by an automobile owned and operated by R. G. Dillon of Hartford on State street, near James, about 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The lad, it seems, got in the way of the ma cAire, not noticing that 1t was com ing and was struck by the car before Dillon, who was running 1t, could avoid the collision. The police amhu- lance was summoned and Dr. Verdi called to the scene, He ordered the child to be taken to his home, finding that his injuries were not serious, They consisted of bruises only and nc broken bones
 Dillon, it is said, was on his way home from the New Haven hospital where he had been confined on &C., count of illness. He had just been allowed out and was making his way home in his car.
