Mr.. Simmer is Jew, but he draws

WISHED MARRIAGE
NEWS WITHHELD
Mss PULLEY'S MARRIAGE RATS
HER HOSPITAL TRAINING
COURSE.

1t leaked out yesterday why An
drew b. Spencer, ,Jr.. OF Mount AIRY,
n. c.. asked Clerk Walter Christian,
Of the Hastings court to insert
please don't publish" over his name
in the marriage license book when he
called there Thursday morning to
get the official permission OF the COM
munity to wed Miss Minnie l.. Pulley,
n pretty and attractive young pupil
nurse at Virginia hospital.
Although there was Some parental
on,.osition 10 the match, it seems
that the real reason for the de-
sired held-up of the news was the
fact that Miss Pulley wished TO re-
main at the hospital IL month longer
ana was confident OF being permitted
to do so, If her marriage to Mr..
Spencer did not leak out.
When the news reached the hos
pital yesterday. following exclusive
publication In The Virginian Mrs.
Spencer decided that she would leave
without further ado.
Mr. Spencer is a Southern En-
press messenger, running between
Wilmington and Mt. Airy. His bride
is the daughter of w. *. Pulley. OF
this city, according to the marriage
register His name Is not In the city
directory.
Mrs Spencer left yesterday after
noon for Wilmington to join her hus-
band. He was called away unex-
pectedly to that city soon after the
marriage knot was tied.
According to rule at the Virginia
hospital. nurses must not marry
while taking the course. Miss Pulley
would have graduated next spring.

CREAMERY AT Medina
AN ACTIVE FACTORY

MEDINA, N. D., Dec. l6.-We
notice that a number of the creameries
throughout the state are being closed
down for the winter. 1t is different in
Medina. The creamery will remain
open all winter and in addition to the
local plant Manager Siege had to
lease an additional creamery to help
him take care of his big butter
business-he having secured the Nc
Kenzie creamery. The farmers here
are learning the value of having
b%utter,fat to sell in the winter time
when it is the highest priced and
when they have plenty Of time to. take
care of their cows. They are also
providing warm quarters for their
stock and putting them on food
rations that will give the animals a
chance to show what they can do in
the way Of producing %butter-fat. The
pes. few years has seen a big change
in the dairy industry in this part of
the county. The farmers are begin

DELAYED EXPLOSION
CAUSED BAD INJURY

ALEXANDER, N, D., Dec. 1G.--
Charley Donovan was injured by a
delayed explosion of dynamite. He
had planted a stick OF dynamite to
blast coal, lit the fuse and ran to
safety over a small raise of ground.
Waiting what he considered ample
time and hearing no report returned
to the mine. When within a short
distance of the mine a jack rabbit
Jumped out from his pathway. Just
about the same instant the dyna.
mite exploded, Charley had turn
ed to watch the jack and a
chunk of coal struck him on the
temple cutting a cash a few inches
long extending from the corner of the
right eye back. Another piece Of
coal hit him on the leg leaving a
severe 'bruise.
DR.. Barrette dressed and sewed up
the wound. .
Charley blames the jack rabbit for
his injury. He said If he hadn't been
watching the jack he could have
lodged the pieces OF coal.
