Wingate, March 90. = A pretty
wedding was solemnized at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Z. L. May on last
Tuesday evening at 5 o'clock, when
their daughter, Miss Annie, became
the wife Of Mr.. Oscar McEwen. Rev.
d. NJ. Austin, pastor Of the bride, in
very impressive manner spoke the
words that made them one. There
were no attendants, so after the great
number Of invited guests were as
sembled in the parlor the bride and
groom quietly entered and took the
marriage vows. The bride was love-
ly in snowy white Messaline satin
and she carried large bouquet Of
American Beauty roses. Immediate
ly after the ceremony congratulations
were spoken and the bride and groom
and the guests drove to the station,
where they took No. A train for
Jacksonville and other points in
Florida. The bride is a lady Of many
charms, and her sweet disposition
has won for her great number Of
friends. The groom is a gentleman
OF splendid character and is we'll
worthy Of the prize he has won. AZ
ter returning from their bridal tour
they will probably reside at Hamlet,
the groom being an employee Of the
Seaboard with headquarters at that
place. The great number Of valu-
able presents Of which they were the
recipients, attested to the popularity
of this couple. We wish for them
all pleasure and prosperity on life's
journey.

Since our last writing death has
again entered our village and claim
ed as its victim Mrs. Julia Lowery.
On the 18th Of February she was
called to the bedside Of her daugh-
ter-in-law, Mrs. James Lowery, at
Little Rock, Ark, and it was while
on this mission of ministering to the
sick that she was seized with the
complication of diseases to which
she succumbed after eight days suf-
fering. Deceased was 65 years old
and was the widow Of Mr.. Thomas
Lowery, who died about eight years
ago. To Mr. and Mrs. Lowery seven
children were born, six Of whom sur
vive. To these children Mrs. Low
cry was all that loving mother
could be. A truer christian than Mrs.
Lowery never took the vows Of our
holy religion. She was a homekeep-
er and ready and willing giver Of
aid to everyone in need of help, and
she will ever be remembered in
many homes here where she so faith
fully ministered to the sick. The
following named constitute the fam
lily bereaved by the loss Of this good
woman; The sons, Messrs. Jesse, ST.
las and James Lowery; the daugh-
tiers, Mesdames John Belk, Gull Grit
fin and Henry Cox, and a widowed
sister, Mrs. Martha Griffin, who made
her home with Mrs. Lowery. The
body, accompanied by Mr.. and Mrs.
Silas Lowery and Mr.. and Mrs. Jas.
Lowery, arrived here on Thursday
morning, the 18th, and on Friday
was inferred in the cemetery at Mt.
Olive church by the side Of her hus-
band, Rev. Z. Q. Snyder conducting
