Distress After Civil War.

There are many old people, es-
pecialy women, who remember time
when they were glad to be able to get
hold of few ears of corn, which they
mashed up the best way they could and
used it for bread That was during
our great Civil war. There is no
promise of such dire straits growing
out of the war now in progress; but
it is certain that food is going to be
scarcer than it now is and it is going
to be more difficult to convert cotton
into gold than it has been for long
time. .-Yorkville Enquirer.

Goethe.

Besides his five or six consummate
works, which, by universal consent,
are practically above criticism, 1t may
be said that Goethe's songs are the
best in the world. He Is the greatest
Of all literary critics. And in subtle
and abundant observation Of human
life, and in the number and value Of
his wise remarks and pregnant SEN
tences, he Is one Of the greatest writ
ers of all time One may feel perfect

Plant Less Cotton.

Notwithstanding the extraordinary
arrangements that are being made to
finance the cotton crop, we think it is
foolish to count on planting full crop
next year. The European war is go
ing to make something to eat the first
consideration, not only in Europe, but
also in America. Folks who raise cot
ton next year regardless of conditions,
without first supplying themselves with
food, are going to lose money and have
hard time. The thing to do now is
to make arrangements to sow every
acre that can be sowed to wheat, oats,
rye, legumes and the like. Then next
spring give attention to corn.-York-

WEDDING TO FORMER
PASTOR A Surprise
Miss Vera Collins Married
to Norileet c. LaSSiter
in Baltimore
HAD BEEN ACTIVE IN
DEL. AVENUE CHURCH

That Miss Vera Collins, daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles H. Collins, of
No $40 jefferson street, had slipped
away to Baltimore and was married
on Sunday last, to Norfleet c. Lassiter,
former pastor of Delaware Avenue
Baptist Church. became known today.
The bride was graduated from the
High School in the June class, this
year, and was active in the work of
the church of which Mr. Lassiter was
pastor in this city.
The bride is about eighteen years
old, and is a talented musician, as well
as a very attractive young woman.
She was one of the leading spirits in
High School affairs because of accom-
plishents as a musician. Particularly
she eXcelledlas a cornetist, and was
known as an excellent singer. She
took part in many exercises at the
school, and was a favorite with the
student body generally.
She played the cornet frequently at
services ia Delaware Avenue Baptist
Church and Sunday school and won
fame as "child cornetist" Her varied
accomplishments attracted the favora-
ble attention of the Rev. Mr.. Lassiter.
There was much surprise in June OF
last year when announcement was made
that Mr.. Lassiter had resigned the pas
torate of Delaware Avenue Church. Mrs.
Lassiter was away al the time The only
reason given for the unexpected resig-
nation of Mr.. Lassiter. who had been
successful at the church, was that he
intended TO give mp ministerial work.
Mr. Lassiter left the city and moth
ing was heard of him by his friends
/ for awhile. II was learned later that
| he took a position in a Philadelphia
store. Recently II was learned that
/ he and his wife had been divorced.
Whether Mr. Lassiter or his wife OBJ
tanned the divorce. and where. could
not be learned. but IL Is said the for
mer pastor and his wife had the mar
ital ties dissolved by a court in a
| western State
AT any rate Mr.. Lassiter came to
Wilmington on Saturday and called
on Miss Collins. That he was di-
vorced had become known to the par
ents of the young woman. Shortly
/ after the visit of the former pastor
the young woman for whom he had
developed an infatuation disappeared.
Just where she had gone was not
known definitely. although IL was re-
/ ported about the neighborhood that
she AND Mr.. Lassiter had gone away
| TO be married She did not tell
! her parents of her intention to marry,
\ and they were surprised to get veri-
hcatiOn from Baltimore that she and
Mr.. Lassiter had been married there
| on Sunday by the Rev DR.. c. Nj.
! Eyster of that city. Mr. Lassiter's
home originally was in Raleigh,
North Carolina. and he and his bride
are on trip through the South.

Several thousand letters have been re-
ceived by the Bavarian Brewing Com
pany in the campaign for a new and
permanent name for the "Green Label"
bottle beer, made by that company.
This product was received by the public
with approval, and since the company
announced it would give $50 for the
best name submitted for this beer in
the opinion of the judges selected TO
pass on the matter, the interest in the
product has been increased. This is
shown by the large number Of sugges-
tions received daily at the Offices of the
brewery. In many instances writers
have submitted as much as ten names
for the new beer. II is needless to say
that the Judges will not want for num-
bers so far as names are concerned.
The contest opened on September Q at
G o'clock p. M, and will close ON the
night of October J. midnight. The names
of the Judges were announced today,
