On Wednesday evening last about
eight of the clock at the residence of

and sister of the bride. Rev. G.. w.
Whitaker, of Enfield, her pastor, in
a very quiet and impressive cere-
mony pronounced them husband
and wife. They retired according
to the order Of their entrance.
The bride was queenly in her APP
pearance and surprisingly beautiful

silk chiffon made over taffeta with
pearl trimmings, shoes and gloves
to match, while the groom was be-
comingly dressed i'll a suit of con-
ventional black, never looking bet
ter in his life.
After the marriage and amid
many congratulations, the happy
couple hurried away for the home Of
the groom near Hobgood
Miss Margaret is the lovely and
charming daughter of Mrs. S. f.
Strickland, Of near Scotland Neck,
greatly loved by all who know her,

Press Doing Coed Work.

The press of North Carolina is do
ing more for the state than it ever
did. The newspapers are doing
more for our cities and towns than
at any other period in the history of
the state. The press all over North
Carolina is alive and from seashore
to the mountains is emphasizing the
resources and advantages Of North
Carolina. These resources and ad-
vantages are recognized as they
never have been and the editors be-
lieve in them and are proclaiming
them. The best thing North Caro-
lima can do to make progress is to
support the papers which have
walked up.-Wilmington Star.

LONG HEAD AND ROUND HEAD
Thought Inspired by Observations
on Two Glasses of Boys in
City School.

There are men today who in fancy,
at least, are navigating the air, and
the most ingenious machines have
been built. That dream will be real
iZed and the air will be filed with
human birds. What lacks today is
not counsel, but only sufficient power.
Go into the schools OF the city and
you will see there two classes of boys.
There is the long-headed boy, who
gives promise of thought and inven-
ton He sits long over his books and
in moments of reflection his eye has a
far-away look. He is the seer. And
by his side there sits the road-headed
boy. Pick him out for action. He is
into all kinds of mischief and cares
less for books than for play. But he
will grow up to be the executive or
his country. He will be the soldier.
He may not be the statesman, but he
can be the politician and will bring
things to pass. The same difference
may be found among the girls, for
every home has it's Mary, who sits and
learns, and it's Martha, who is cum
bered with much serving"
This condition is essentially human
Some are giants in thought and others
are giants in action. But why cannot
we do all that we plan?
Well, we are feeble in action be
cause of the uncertainty OF human
life. This little moment Of three-score
and ten is not long enough to do very
much, a writer in the Christian World
says.
We begin as children. Have you
watched the child with his blocks ano
toys? AS he rocks his hobby horse
he thinks he is securing the plain an6
he encourages his toy with his infant
chirrup. He plays at soldier with his
little gun and as he builds his blocks
into house he fancies himself mas
ter architect. But if you see thai
child in 80 years and he still plays
with the same tops your heart is sad
We expect the child to grow. W.
grow ourselves and the plans of tht
youth have no place in the thought O
the man The boy smiles at the wisf
of the child, the young man smiles a

man and old age smiles at us all. Wall

after and see how different are hi

sw1NDLERs WORK NEW GAME
By Using Names Of Prominent Firms
They Easily Obtain Merchandise.

The Pioneer has the following
from one in position to speak
authoritatively:
"A gang now under surveillance
operates in an original way. They
land in q town and send an order
to merchant in St. Paul or else
where for q bill of goods running
from $50 to 500, and giving q name
strikingly similar to regular mer-
chant in the town who has a high
rating in the commercial agency
books. In this way the merchants
believing that the name was mis-
spelled, forward the goods, which
are taken from the express Office by
the bogus merchants, who immediate
ly leave the town. Still under the be-
lief that a mistake in name was
made by the legitimate town mer-
chant, the shipper renders him the
bill. This is, of course, immediate
ly refused, which brings to light the
fraud. BY this time the perpetrators
have had from week to a months
start in the getaway"

EDITOR JOHN WILM DIES HERE
Former Bemidji Man Comes From
Northome, Fails to Survive Knife.

John B. Wilm, 2S years old, editor

four years, and who was for six years
foreman of the Daily Pioneer job
department., died in this city yester-
day morning following an operation
for structure. of the. bowels, caused
from sickness of only one week.
Mr.. Wilm was married seven years
ago, making a Bemidji girl, Cynthia
Bishop, daughter of B. F. Bishop
of Spokane, Wash, his wife. He is
survived by his wife and a son of
S years, his father and mother, who
reside in Mizpah and two brothers
and two sisters who reside in St.

learned the trade in Melrose. He
was manager of the Northome base

lfghtful. Narrow ribbons are used as
we'll as wide ones and innumerable
graceful forms seem to lie asleep in
the brain Of this ingenious man. Let
a whisper reach them that they are
needed and they rush to his finger
tips. Many professional women. mil
liners and others, are taking up this
work of ribbon for decoration and
it may prove a new profitable accom-
plishment for them. Ribbons will not
supplant natural flowers entirely, but
they will bring about new order OF
things. Fewer blossoms will be used
and greater effectiveness given to
those that so appear.
We shall be spared the little hurt
that turks in the dropping fading flow

placed in vases while ribbons and TO
liage will make a marvellous back
ground for them.
