They Had Narrow Escape.

We are keeping right up with the
times. The thrilling experience of
Mr.. Arthur Smerdon and party in
an automobile accident Sunday, az
chronicled elsewhere, brings the thing
close home to US. The only differ
ence between this and some of the
terrible accidents we read about as
occurring elsewhere was that no
fatalities resulted from the mishap
to Mr.. Swerdon's machine. But it
was a narrow escape and perhaps
may serve as warning lesson to
others to be more careful how they
drive-especially when going down
hill on crooked road.

Longsworth- Satterwhite

nesday When MISS Iuessle

the Bride of Mr.. William
Hays Longsworth,
A beautiful midday wedding oc-
Cured at the Methodist Protestant
church Wednesday when Miss Cues
sic Verl Satterwbite became the
bride Of Mr.. William Hays Longs
worth. The church was filled with ii
| fashionable and interested crowd
some time before the appointed hour
and late corners had to find seats in
the annex or Sunday-school room.
Rev. r. j. Ogburn, d. d., of Green's
boro, performed the ceremony.
The ushers were Messrs. George B.

ter aisle in the order named and took
positions on either side OF the altar.
Miss Olive Harris, maid of honor,

eompanied by her father, Mr.. K. X. Sat
terwhite. At the altar they were joined
by the groom and his best man, Mr..

Standing beneath an arch OF ever
green in front of the sacred altar the
words that made the twain husband
and wife were beautifully and i'm
pressively pronounced, a ring being
used in the ceremony. The bride was
given away by her father.
1t was a very pretty marriage the
church being appropriately decorated
for the occasion. A profusion of
potted plants and blooming flowers
were displayed about the altar and
electric globes diffused a mellow light
amid the scene presenting a picture
OF rare beauty and loneliness.

and is young lady of lovely charac-
ter and accomplishments who is
greatly admired by a wide circle OF
acquaintance. She is an accom-
