Death Of Mr.. N. D. JoVDer.

The subject of this notice was born
Jan. 26 1886 and died Feb. 9 1910,
making his stay on earth just IA years
and few days.
He was married Dec. 81 1865 to
Hester A. Gray who preceded him
to the grave just six weeks. He had
been in feeble health for several
months and he never rallied from
the shock but gradually declined till
the end came. Mr.. Joyner was a
gallant confederate soldier entering
the war in 1861 and serving in the
army until Lees surrender in 1865.
His Company was disbanded in Vir-
GINA and he came home married
and settled down on a farm and with
the help of true devoted wife they
made comfortable home and rear
ed large family of children. nine
of which survive him also six grand
children, three sisters and one broth
err. He was man of strictest in
tegrity and beautiful christian char
acter and had been a member Of Ke-
hukee Primitive Baptist church for
over thirty years and had served
faithfully as deacon for fifteen
years. In business he was perfectly
honest, kind neighbor and a devot-
ed husband and father. We think
our Savior meant such as he when he
said BLESSED are the pure in heart
for they shall! see God" And we feel
that he lives again with him. Fun
eral was held Thursday the 10th and
he was laid to rest at Kehukee church.

A Beautiful Home Wedding.
Thy fatal shafts unerring move,

! bow before thine altar, Love-
| Nothing is more interesting and
pleasing than the marriage Of the
popular young. Somehow all the
world pays heed to the secret that
tells Of al approaching marriage, and
there is universal welcome for the
hour when the beautiful young wom-
an exchanges altar VOWS with the
chivalrous young man. No one knows
who learns it first, but the plighted
troth of loving hearts is never said so
soft and low but the whispering gal
leries, where Cupid roams, tell out
the story full, and soon the lover 8
own their tryst and are glad their
friends may know it too.
So it was in the country for weeks
and weeks, while many friends wait
ed for the solemnizing of the mar
rage rites between two we'll known

Strickland and Mr.. Henry Patrick
Lane, Of Leggetts. The wedding

and the nuptial hour was 1000 a. N.
By the marriage hour the house
was packed to its full capacity. The
decorations were handsome and beau
tiful for home wedding, consisting
of an arch made of rich holly and
evergreens and from it hung the let
tiers S. and L. fixed daintily with
twinings of holly. Mrs. w. L. Strick-
land, of Tarboro, sister-in-law Of the
bride. presided at the organ, and
promptly at the hour of ten, Lohen-
grin's Wedding March pealed forth
under her most skillful touch. The
bridal party entered as follows, Mr..
M. S. Strickland, uncle of the bride,
and Miss Winifred Lane, sister of
the groom, Mr.. Allen Weeks, of Leg
gets, and Miss Margaret Strickland,
aunt Of the bride, Prof. w. w. Eag-
les, of Macclesfeld. and Miss Nina
Corbett, of Whitakers, Mr.. James
Harper, of Leggetts, and Miss Lena
Ruffin, of Leggetts. Then came the
bride leaning on the arm Of the
groom, handsomely gowned in love-
ly travelling suit of navy blue broad
cloth hat and gloves to match, while
the groom becomingly dressed in
conventional black. They were met
at the arch by Rev. C. l.. Whitaker,
Of Enfield, pastor of the bride, who
took their marriage vows and in a
solemn and impressive ceremony pro-
nounced them husband and wife.
The bridal party retired by Mendeis-
sohn's Wedding March, the bride
maids and groomsmen retiring in
couples according to the order of
their entrance. After the marriage
and amid many congratulations and
showers Of rice, the happy couple
with many of their friends hurried
