SURPRISE MARRIAGE OF MISS
LILLIAN HARREIL

Yesterday the many friends Of Miss
Lillian Harrell were in throes of ex-
element over the phone message from
her in Richmond that she had married
Mr.. William Leverton the night be-
fore in that city.
Miss Harrell left here Wednesday
ostensibly to visit friends in Richmond
but apparently Mr.. Leverton had ar
ranged to meet her and they were
married soon after her arrival.
It will be recalled that Mr.. Lever
ton, whose home is in Washington, d
c., was here on a week s visit less
than month ago, having come here
as the guest Of Mr.. and Mrs. R. c.
Josey, Jr., but it was not thought
there was any serious intention in his
visit. He however made several friends
here by his very affable manner.
Mr.. Leverton is the son of Mr.. j. Lev
erton who is the proprietor Of Sc
lect ladies furnishing store in Wash
ington and is reputed to be in afflu
! ent circumstances, and recently Mr.
| William Leverton has associated him
self with his father since his return
from the Mexican border where he wa:
in the U. S. Army.
The good wishes of all Miss Harrell .
friends are extended the newly wed
and it is regretted that Scotland Necl
will lose one Of her most popular dau
ghters as Mr.. and Mrs. William Lev
erton will most certainly reside il
Washington.

tic Trouble Since He
Took Tanlac

81 have actually gained thirty one
pounds on three bottles of Tanlac and
I now feel like a new man in every
way,' said J.. T. Hawkins, residing
at 335 johnson Place, Memphis, Tenn
essee, some time ago.
81 was just racked with pain from
rheumatism for a whole year until
I couldn It hit lick of work and was
just up and down, mostly down, all the
time. My joints would swell and
cramp so I couldn It raise my arm to
my head-couldn It comb my hair
and when I stopped over to tie my
shoes, the pain would almost make me
cry out loud. I got in such a shape
that I couldn' It eat anything without
1uffering afterwArd and nothing I
tried in the way of medicine helped
me any at all.
81 only weighed one hundred and
eight pounds when [ started taking
Tanlac and now I weigh one hundred
and thirty nine. My joints don't hurt
anymore and I can bend over and use
my arms at work with as much ease
as I ever could. I can eat anything
I want and as much as I wish and
feel like a new person all the time
! Tanlac is sold in Scotland Neck by
E. T. Whitehead Drug Store; in En-
field by Harrison and Hall; in Rose
mary by The Rosemary Drug Com
pany and in Littleton by Harrison
