MARRIED At HALIFAX.
Miss Virginia Butts Becomes the Bride
Of fsr. {. F. MuSSe!Man.

Halifax, N. c.. Dec. 19-At the
residence Of the brides parents, MIR.
and Mrs. Joseph c. BATHS on Thurs
day December 14jil The Rev. j. +.
Holden, al Ridgen'ay, former pastor
Of the bride, joined iii happy we'd
lock MIR. Charles Frank Eiusselman
and Miss Mary Virginia Butts. The
marriage came as surprise to
friends here, scarcely any one ex-
pecting it so soon. though it was
generally thought that the event
would come off in the near future.
The groom, who for the last three
years has been located here as sec
ond trick man for the A. c. Line,
was suddenly called to Reams, Va,
to accept an agency, and prevailed
on Miss Butts to consent to 4 hur-
ried marriage in order 10 fill his
position as early as possible. MIR.
Musselman is most estinable
young man, and since being located
here has won quite large number
of friends, who rejoice with him in
the winning of such prize, and
while deploring the fact that we are
less one Of our girls. we feel that
she is fortunate in securing life
partner who is steady, reliable and
trustworthy, who will in the natural
course Of events, win his way along
life's thoroughfare, and find the
goal that men are seeking every day.
The bride is the oldest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. C. Butts, and
granddaughter Of the late Capt. J.
M. Grizzard, and wherever she is
known there are friends in num-
Der. Possessed of physical beauty,
her charms were not less in other
respects. Her sweet christian life
at home and abroad was helpful and
inspiring, having been a consistent
church member since early child
hood, and filled willingly any place
pointed out to her vacated by an
other, and assumed obligations
that some would shirk. She has
taught public school several sessions
and won the love of pupils easily.
She for sonle time had been teaching
the primary class in the Methodist
Sunday school and all the class were
much attached to her.
Immediately after the ceremony
MIR. and Mrs. Musselman were driven
/ to Weldon to take the train for
Washington and Baltimore, and will
be at home after Dec. 10th, Reams,
. Va.

Lightning nils Few.

In 1906 lightning killed only 1863
people in this whole country. Ones
chances Of death by lightning are
less than two in a million. The chance
Of death from liver, kidney Or ston1-
ach trouble is vastly greater, but
not if Electric B;tters be used, as
Robert Madsen, Of West Burlington,
Ia. proved. Four doctors gave him
up after eight months Of suffering
from virulent liver trouble and vel
low jaundice. He was then complete
ly cured by Electric Ritters. They're
the best stomach, liver. nerve and
kidney remedy and blood purifier on
on earth. Only soc at E. T. White

A GREAT STEAL.

The House Of Representative has
recently passed the Sherwood PEN
sion bill, which carries with it an
additional pension appropriation of
S75, 00O,0 600. 1t is shame and dis
grace that this pension steal should
be put upon the people By the demo-
cratic party. What they were think
ing about cannot be understood.
The republican party is rot in favor
of such raid on the treasury for
the republican Houst, voted down a
similar measure less than two years
ago which carried only $45, 600.
We are ashamed Of the democratic
House for passing such bill The
New York Times, strong demo-
cratic paper says that the bill is "a
blunder and crime"
There is hope that a republican
Senate will Kill this bill but if it
does, that is not helping the demo-
cratic party, but If it should pass
the Senate the hope is carried furth-
CT that President Taft vii! veto it..
This would make it still worse on
the House of Representatives..
Every Congressman that voted for
this pension steal, be he democrat
or republican, ought to be retired
at the end Of MS present term. The
public treasury is surely not safe in
their hands. Down with such repre-
sentatives.
Be it said to the credit of our
North Carolina Representative that
only one, Mr.. Gudger, voted for the
bill, while Doughton, kitchin, Sted.
man, Small, Pou and Goodwin voted
against it. Webb and Faison were
paired.
Speaker Clamp Clark was so snx.
ious to vote for the bill that he re.
quested that his name be called and
answered yea. He did this. nc
doubt IN order 70 make Himself
more popular "it'l the Union Sol.
diers and hvi!, his candidacy fo1
President. Away with such rot.
