ANTIOCH HOMECOMING.
Embraces Saturday and Sunday,
July 3 and A Pretty Home
Wedding-Personals.

C ,rrespondence of The Robesonan.
One of the most interesting
social events of the season at
Antioch was the marriage on
Wednesday evening, Jure End,
of Miss Flora Ella, the accom-
plished daughter of Mr.. M. F.
Mcneil, to Mr.. II. S. Kirk
patrick, a rising young lawyer |
of Waynesville. The ceremony
was performed in the Presby-
terrain church here by Rev. {.
f. Hodgin, of Greensboro, the
brides uncle. On Tuesday eve
ming from 8 till II O'Clock an
elegant reception was rendered
the bridal party and few In
vited guests. This reception was
given at the home of the brides,
grandmother, Mrs S. M. Hodgln,
with whom she had lived since
her mothers death. The halls
and parlors were beautifully dec
GRATED, the color scheme being
green and white. The guests
were received by Miss Sadie Nc
Neill, assisted by Mrs. Chas. E.
Hodgin, of Greensboro, and Miss
Katie Mcneil, of Red Springs.
After the guests had all as
sembled they were ushered into
the dining room, where an ele-
CANT repast was served. The
many beautiful presents receiv-
ed attest the popularity of the
young couple. Mr.. and Mrs.
Kirkpatrick, after an extended
bridal tour, will be at home to
their friends at Waynesville af-
ter June 18th.
