HOME WEDDING
SOLEMNIZED AT
EASTVILLE, VA.
Miss LOuella Florence Fletcher
Marries Mr.. Henry Stewart
White, Of Onley, Va.
BRIDE TAUGHT AT
NEW CHURCH, VIRGINIA

A beautiful and most impressive
home wedding was solemnized at high
noon Wednesday, June "a, in East
vile, Virginia, when Miss Louella
Florence Fletcher, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. David Franklin Fletcher, of
Eastville, became the bride of Henry
Stuart White, son of Mrs. William
Fuller White and the late Mr.. White,
of Onley, Virginia.
The ceremony was performed by
the Rev. Mr.. L. E. McKinny, pastor
of the Eastville Baptist Church, be-
fore an improvised altar in the living
room of the Fletcher home. The al
tar was banked with evergreens and
was entwined with ivy and snowballs,
carrying out the general effect of a
color scheme of green and white.
Cathedral candles were employed on
each side of the altar, while white
candles were utilized throughout the
room.
The bride was given in marriage
by her father and had as her maid of
honor and only attendant Miss Mar
jorie Gusts Fletcher, of Accomac.
Mr.. White had as his best man his
brother, Paul Hidden White, of Onley.

The Railroad Crisis

There is a real crisis in the rail.
road industry.
The essential facts underlying the
crisis are detailed as follows by the
Association of American Railroads: !:
During the past four years, due to
causes beyond the control of the rail-
roads, the cost of most supplies have
advanced; railroad taxes have in
creased and wages have risen. Dur
ing the same four years, railroad
freight and passenger rates, as
measured by the average revenue
received, have gone down--and today
the margin between income and
outgo has been squeezed so thin as to
imperil the future of the railroads as
tax-paying. efficient
and economically operated enter
prises.
This is the condition that has
made necessary the lines recent ap-
plication to the Interstate Commerce
for permission to raise

A Three Days Cough
Is Your Danger Signal

No matter how many medicines
you have tried for your cough, chest
cold, or bronchial irritation, you can
get relief now with Creomulsion.
Serious trouble may be brewing and
you cannot afford to take a chance
with any remedy less potent than
Creomulsion, which goes right to
the seat of the trouble and aids ma
ture to soothe and heal the inflamed
mucous membranes and to loosen
and expel the germ-laden phlegm.
Even if other remedies have failed,
don't be discouraged. try Creomul-
sion. Your druggist is authorized to
refund your money if you are not
thoroughly satisfied with the bene-
fits obtained from the very first
bottle. Creomulsion is one word-not
two, and it has no hyphen in it.
Ask for it plainly, see that the name
on the bottle is Creomulsion, and
you'll get the genuine producs and
the relief you want. (Adv.)
