On Saturday, June "a, at 400 o'clock
in the afternoon, occurred the we'd
ding of Mr.. Fred p Bates and Miss
Ruth NJ Hazard. The ceremony used
by the church, of which both are COM
municants, was that of the Presbyter
an, and the officiating minister was
rev J. d. Keith, who had baptized
the bride at her reception as a member
of the HOLSTER church. The wedding
was simple, quiet and beautiful. The
relatives of the BRIDE besides her par
ents, her brother Neale, and sister
Miss Nina, were her uncle and aunt,
Mr.. and Mrs. Jno. NJ Dudley; their
daughters, Mrs. Wiley Tiff and Miss
Jennie Dudley; Messrs. John and
George Dudley The relatives of the
groom present were his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. James p Bates, of Wendell;
their married daughters, Mesdames
Eaton, with their husbands, two single
sisters of the groom, one sister being
unavoidably absent and three broth
ers of the groom. Others present were
Mrs. j. d. Keith, wife of the officiating
clergyman, Messrs. C. e. Nelson and
Thomas O'Brien, these being fellow
employees with the groom of the Sal
mon River Land and Water Co. Mr.
Thomas O'Brien was the grOom's best
man, while the brides sister, Miss
Nina Hazard, was her only attendant
The ring ceremony was used The
bride wore a cream taffeta silk suit,
coat effect, and carried white bridal
roses The groom wore a blue serge
suit and conventional tie and collar,
And then a rather unusual occurrence
took place. While the brides mother
and sister assisted by her aunt, Mrs.
j. NJ. Dudley and daughters, were serv-
ing delicious cake and cream, the new
wife changed quickly to her blue serge
travelling costume and being assisted
by friends well coached for the time,
the four slipped quietly out of a win
dow and as relatives and guests look
ed out, they saw them speeding a mile
away in their auto to hasten to the
railway, thus escaping goodbyes, rice
and shoe missiles and other articles of
like. nature used on wedding occasions

awaits them Miss Hazard as she was

groom is young man of most sterling

Wendell. Under their happy marriage
and promising auspices, we wish them
the best Of all to be found in life and

A Circus Story.

A pretty good idea Of the high esteem
and reverence in which the negro ele-
ment of the sol i hold the John Rob-
inson Ten Big Shows may be gained
from an incident that occurred last
fall in Columbia, S. c., and which was
subsequently related by one of the
leading daily newspapers of that city
The John Robinson Circus had not
yet paid Columbia its annual visit and
rival tented outfit had anticipated
the Robinson date by arranging for a
local exhibition. The flaring posters
of the competitor were being put up so
plentifully and conspicuously as to
arouse the curiosity of very old and
gray-headed darkey who CHANGED to be
tottering along while the energetic
billposter was at work and who stop
ped to view the descriptive announce
ments.

TALKS ON BANKING.
YOuR BUSINESS CHARACTER.

In all business operations involving
credit, certain requisites are essential
If the risk is to prove satisfactory to
the one who extends the credit. These
requisites are best expressed in what
has well been termed the Three Big
C's of Credit" namely, Character,
Capacity and Capital. This talk will
cover the first
In order to possess a business char
acter, man need not have what Is or
dinarily known as business honesty,
for business honesty is not as big a
thing as business integrity. Neither
need man say long prayers, and pass
the plate, however admirable these
traits may be. He must have more
than a semblance of religion he
must carry the religion of the Ten
Commandments, the Sermon on the
Mount and the Golden Rule into his
business life. He must do no tricky
thing; he must be on the level. He
must give the square deal His word
must be better than his bond. He must
mark goods fairly, advertise honestly,
rectify any error, correct any misun-
derstanding, and never forget that his
best advertisement is a satisfied GUS
toner, and satisfied customers are
made only by business integrity.
The underlying reason why some
men have become great merchants is
to be found in the spirit of the
house" There are great stores in

Their good will, worth millions, is
good will of integrity. 1t has taken
years to build it up.
The buying public soon finds out the
spirit of the house. You can catch a
sucker but once. 1t doesn't pay to try
the second time. You do well to in
quire how this element of integrity en-
tiers into your business life, for if the
banker does not believe in you, you
can get no loans from him. You can
lose this priceless asset by single
lapse for business virtue, and once it
is lost it is hard Shedding to regain it.
certain bank made a large sized
loan to builder for specific opera
ton, with the understanding that the
funds were to be used to purchase ma
terial and pay labor for that one job
1t soon developed that in spite of the
fact that the contractor claimed to be
progressing well with work, nothing
had been done-he used the money
elsewhere. 1t was a breach of trust.
The banker had checked him up, as
bankers generally do. He has lost his
character in that bank, and his word
no longer goes.
Another concern was buying auto
mobiles with the banks money, giving
the bank trust receipt whereby cars
| could not be delivered without obtain
| ing a release from the bank and pay
ing on the loan. The banker became
suspicious that something was wrong
| and checked up the cars presumed to
| be in stock on the trust agreement
and found that four had been sold
without accounting to the bank. Re
sult-a hasty calling of the entire
loan, loss of confidence, loss of help

You cannot play fast and loose in
| business and win out. You cannot de-
ceive your banker for long. He has a
knack of finding things out. Gossip
gets to him fast He has a second
sense that smells danger. He is a de-
| tective.
Therefore, build your business struc-
ture with character as the first OF
three supporting piers. Be as active
in the church as you like; be as good
as you pretend to be, but remember
| always, that in business it is not what
you seem to be but what you are that

become manifest, to those who are in
position to find things out and can
help you If they trust you, but cannot
