poorer in purse than other men

well-known in Smyrna, and Herbert

quietly married at IL. 20 O'Clock Sun

stances at the home of DR.. Paul R.
Smith at the northeast corner of
Twenty second and Washington
streets, Wilmington. The parents of
the young people did not know of the
marriage until after the ceremony.
when they were notified by tele-
phone. The news was not entirely
unexpected, however, as they have
been engaged for some months.
Neither the bride nor the groom
expected to be married late Saturday
afternoon when Miss Johnson went
to Philadelphia on the train from
Dover, Mr.. Smedley boarding the
train at Chester. They had planned
a little pleasure trip to Philadelphia,
but no mention of a wedding was
suggested. While in the Quaker City,
however, the young folks decided to
wait no longer to have the knot tied
and about 10 O'Clock Saturday night
they called up DR.. Smith on the tel
ephone and asked him if he could
secure license for them. This the
doctor agreed to do and the young
couple FASTENED to Wilminton. DR..
Smith, who has known the groom for
some time, cured the license from
Magistrate Gluckman. Rev. W. C.
Poole, pastor of the McCabe Memoir
ial Church, was summoned to the
doctors home and agreed to perform
the ceremony. The marriage was
solemnized at 1920 O'Clock Sunday
morning. The groom was accom-
panied by DR.. Smith as best man,
and Mrs. Smith attended the bride.
Samuel Smith, the Doctors brother,
was the only other witness. The
ring ceremony was used, DR.. Smith
having secured the ring for the
groom. Mr.. Smedley is a repre-
sentative of the Sun Oil Co., at
Mrcus Hook, Pa. His bride is a
well-known young woman of Dover,
where she is very popular with the
/ younger social set. They had been
lovers for over a year.

Our next number in the course Of

given in the Smyrna Opera House
this Friday evening, January goth.
1911. Miss Margaret StahI will
present to US 'Strongheart, "a story
OF both early and late conditions Of
Indian life as related to the Pale
faced Man. The book. Strong
heart, by Frederick R. Burton and
the story to be given are founded
on William c. deMilles play, which
you all know has won for itself quite
a prominent place on the American
stage. Robert Edeson is one Of the
stars in this play. Miss Stahl is
one of the most brilliant and sue
cessful rea1ers on the American
platform. Attractive and absolutely
free from mannerism and affectation
Miss Stahl's success is due no less
to her ability than to her personality,
which is indetinably charming. By
nature, training and experience she
is ably fitted to portray humanity
in all its varied phases. Possessed
of mind that can keenly discern the
authors purpose, heart capable of
deepest feeling and the ability to
make live, apparently without effort,
one character after another, it is not
surprising that the audiences are
swayed by the magic Of her art.
DI Grant, acknowledged to be one of
best lecturers who have visited Smyr-
ma, avs Miss Stahl is one of the
best literature interpreters on the
platform. There are several people
of Smyrna who have heard Miss
Stahl that will vouch for the above
statements concerning her. Not one
intelligent man, woman or child can
afford to miss the opportunity of
hearing her. Come one and all.
The chart for reserved seats will be
open Thursday morning, January

the only seats not reserved. Come
