1t is our pleasant duty to record
the marriage of one of Smyrna's S
best known and happiest young
ladies, Miss Pora Spencer, daugh-
ter of the late Samuel Spencer
which occurred last Wednesday af-
ternoon just as we were going to
press. The bridegroom is James
G. Jemison of New Castle who was
attended during the ceremony by
John Sherwood. Miss Sallie Nc
Dowell was in attendance upon the
bride, the officiating clergyman be-
ing the Rev N. NJ Brown of New
Castle. The happy couple took
the train at 5.17 for their home in
New Castle, where they held a re-
ception and with many friends en-
joyed a sumptuous wedding sup
per. The bride received many
handsome presents The thanks
of the Times are due to the bride
for generous remembrance in the
shape of a wedding cake.
The beautiful night blooming
cereus in the front yard of Mrs.
Martha A. Cummins has been in
a luxuriant Towering state for a |
few nights past. It put forth one
blossom on Sunday night, two on
Monday and five last evening. Be
ing made visible by lights placed |
near, it attracted many spectators.
Mrs. Josiah Evans on South Street |
also has one which recently put |
out flower measuring seven inch
es in diameter. These magnificent |
plants are the Cereus Grandifora, |
a delicate and sensitive member of
the cactus family of a sub-trop-
ical disposition. The buds, though |
givorous, seem opposed to the light |
of day and can only be induced to
expand by the gentle influence of
the cooling dews of evening. They
continue to unfold from nightfall |
until the early hours of the morn
ing when they close up and gradu-
ally wither
