MR.. JOSEPH HENRY FLEMING

For the wedding of Miss Mary La
yinia Cox, the charming and winsome
young daughter of Ex-Governor and
Mrs. John Isaac Cox, to Mr.. Joseph
Henry Fleming, young man promi-
nent in business and social circles of
Bristol, the First Presbyterian church
was filled Wednesday evening at 6
O'Clock with many interested friends,
who witnessed the beautiful ceremo-
ny which united their lives. The
bride by her winning personality and
loyable traits of character has the
best wishes of all who know her and
the groom since coming from Athens
Ga. to live in Bristol, more than
three years since, has been equally
popular.
For the wedding the handsome au-
ditorium of the church was decora-
ted in white and green. The altar
was banked with palms and ferns
and white pedestals held tall vases OF
white chrysanthemums and burning
white candles.
There was arranged an artistic pro-
gram which was given Just before the
arrival of the bridal party The Bris-
tol Elite Orchestra played Handefs

Greeneville and Northern a new out
let for Bristol-made products to the
South will be made that will result
materially, it is believed, in a reduc-
ton of tariffs.
The road, it is also estimated, will
greatly accelerate and increase the
number of small farms, truck gar
dening and poultry raising in this
section, as we'll as cattle raising and
dairying. Vast deposits of iron ore
and phosphate in Greene and john
son counties, it is stated, will be
worked when the road is completed
and an outlet for the product is pro-
vided.
WILL BE PROFITABLE.
The announcement that Bristol has
been decided upon as terminal is
made in spite of the fact that little
more than half of the $4,000 worth
of stock offered for purchase of the
rights of way in the county was
bought. Although the committees
worked hard to sell the remainder, it
was not subscribed for. 1t is consid-
cred by local business men who sub
scribed for stock and lent their per
sonal aid in the work of promoting
the line. that the extension from
Kingsport to Bristol will be a paying
proposition fiom the beginning, ano
it is believed that this same consider
atioa influenced the organizers c to de
eide to make Bristol terminal with
out having the full amount of stock
allotted to the city subscribed for.

NEW ORLEANS, La, via wireless.
steamships Excelsior and Creole to
Mobile, Ala, Sept. 29.-Five persons
are known to be dead, many people
injured and property loss reaching
into the millions has been caused to-
night by the most severe gulf storm
in the history of the city.
A bowling gale with velocity of
SO miles an hour swept the city at 6
o'clock tonight, demolishing scores
of buildings, stripping the roofs from
hundreds of other structures and
strewing the streets with broken
glass and debris.
At 1880 O'Clock a rising barome-
ter gave evidence that the storm was
subsiding, the center passing to the
northwest of New Orleans. The bar
ometer at it's lowest registered 28.11,
and the wind velocity of So miles
was the highest ever recorded here.
Railroad and wire communication
with the outside world has been cut
off and telephone, electric light and
trolley service discontinued in the
city. All railroads have annulled
trains from New Orleans.
Wireless communication from New
Orleans was interrupted by the fail
ure of the electric plant but mes
sages were sent from the steamship
Excelsior at dock here and rfelayed
from the steamship Creole, anchored
below New Orleans in the Missis-
sippi river to Mobile.
MOBILE, Ala, Sept. 29.-The Mis-
sissippi gulf coast from Bay st. Louis
to Pascagoula was isolated tonight
because of the tropical hurricane
which caused an 88-mile gale at New
Orleans and swept inland to the
northeast. Three children are known
to have been injured at Pascagoult,
but further news is lacking.
Pensacola and Mobile escaped ma
terial damage, though 50-mile winds
prevailed at both ports during the
afternoon and night.
Reports of excessive damage and
high water at Biloxi and Gulfport,
Miss, were discounted tonight by
officials of the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad, whose telephone cable
down the coast to Bay st. Louis
furnished the sole means Of commu-
nication. There is no wireless sta
tion on the coast between Mobile
and New Orleans. This cable was
operated successfully only at inter-
walls. and officials announced that
the dispatchers denied reports of the
flooding of the streets in Biloxi to
depth of six feet, and of the destruc-
ton of the great trestle of the Louis
vile and Nashville at the Rigolets.
Three small children, members OF
the Savage family at Pascagouia,
were reported to have been injured
when their home was demolished by
the high winds.
All train service has been suspend
ed. but one train arriving this after
noon from Ocean Springs.

Field Agent Leroy Park Says Work
On All Divisions May BE Carried
on at Same Time-COnrerred
with Business Men.

Bristol Tenn.-That the Carolina,
Greeneville and Northern Railway
will extend it's line to Bristol, was
the statement made yesterday by
LEROY Park, field agent of the COM
pany. who was in the city conferring
with local business men before leav-
ing last night for New York, where
he will turn over the work already
completed by him to the men who
will finance the road.
"The question of locating the road
has now been decided upon" said Mr..
Park. land it has become the perma-
nent idea that the line shall be eX-
tended to Bristol. We have been do
ing most of our work lately on the
Knoxville to Sevierville division OF
the line and the rights of way in
Knox, Sewer and Hamblet counties
have practically all been secured.
Nearly all of my work as field agent
of the company has been completed
and | am going to New York to rec
ommend that work be commenced az
soon as possible"
When asked if the work on tn,
Bristol division will be commenced al
the same time as work on the other
divisions, Mr.. Park said: "You know
that 1t was our original intention
that work should be begun from
Kingsport and Newport at the same
time and to have the work meet, but
| will favor that work on this divis-
ION be done at the same time as that
on the others. The Knoxville to Sc
yieryille division is already built and
will need only to be electrified to
make it suitable for our purposes.
will certainly favor construction on
the entire line at one time so that a
through train can be run from Bris-
tol to Knoxville on the day we begin
running trains"
ENCOURAGING NEWS.
To Bristol business men the news
that Bristol will be one of the termi-
nails of the Carolina, Greeneville and
Northern is very encouraging. The
completion of the line will open to
Bristol not only trade territory now
almost inaccessible, but will provide
the city with new railroad connec'
tions to the South, East and West
which it is believed will result in the
bringing to the city of many indus
tries which are now kept out by lack
of sufficient competitive freight rates
AS a connection with the South, the
new road is looked upon by many
Bristol business men to offer espec-
ially great advantages to the city
The Southern Railway has never
made freight rates sufficiently low tc
enable manufacturers of many prod
ucts to compete from this section
for the South's trade with manufac'
turers Of the North, and in the con
nections offered by the Carolina

of the man who appeared that he was about to throw a fit. Taking hold of the man, Jim called for some of the others in the room to run for a doctor, quick, as the man was about to have fit. About this time the afflicted" man began frothing at the mouth. The other men present who were fin" the joke. at this juncture, remarked about the man having been bit by a mad dog a few weeks ago. Jim, who was still holding him, heard this mad dog talk, saw the froth coming from his mouth, and about this time the man began to growl and bark like a dog and appearantly snapped at Jim. Then it was that Jim turned
 loose all holds and began to
 break away and make run for

 closely following him. The gentlemen who were in the joke ran too, just to keep things going but their running was too slow for Jim, who as he said in the above quotation he ran only
 because he couldn' fly, and 'fess.
