Bids Farewell To
Charles Calhoun
It was with mixed feeling that
friends of Mr. Charles Calhoun
bid him adieu for a short space
of time, for on Saturday evening,
December 9th, Mr. Calhoun will
leave forever the happy estate of
single blessedness and take on
the bonds of holy matrimony.
Those of his friends who are
married, before telling him good
bye, seemed to have much of a
serious nature to tell him, which
we unitiated bachelors werr^ noc
allowed to hear. It reminded me
somewhat of the story of how tli3
best man at the wedding became
slightly intoxicated at the recep
tion afterwards, and with great
solemnity whispered in the
groom’s ear: “Don’t tell your
friends anything, and maybe we
will catch another sucker.” But
perhaps I was wrong and they
were talking of something else.
But whether married or single it
is I know, the sincere wish of
every one that Mr. Calhoun will
enjoy every possible happiness.
The bride-elect is Miss Annie
Grey Johnston, from Tarboro, N.
C. Mr. N. S. Calhoun will act as
best man, while Mr. Gavin Dortch
w'ill be present at the ceremony
as a friend of the bridegroom.
The bride and groom will start
on their honeymoon from Tar
boro, where the ceremony will
take place, and their destination
is unknown.
Mr. Calhoun stands high in the
esteem of everyone in Elkin, and
particularly at the Chatham
Manufacturing company where
his absence will be keenly felt.
We wish him great happiness on
his Avedding trip, but we hope it
will not keep him away too long.
Few of us h-ave the privelege
of knowing the bride, but when
she arrives at her new home in
Elkiji we hope that our faces will
I'erioct tlio good will and euger-
' ^ ''
join in the sincere prayer that
they may both lead a happy,
fruitful life among us their
friends, and so; God speed to Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Calhoun.
C. C. Poindexter
Entertains At Party
Mr. Chas. Calhoun, assistant
editor of the Blanketeer, cele
brated his last evening in Elkin
as a single man as the guest of
honor at a stag dinner given by
Mr. C. C. Poindexter at his resi
dence on Gwyn Avenue. Everyone
present enjoyed an excellent bird
dinner. Mr. Poindexter’s after-
dinner speech was amusing and
distinctly to the point, and should
be a great help to the groom
elect.
Later such ancient and vener
able married men as Henry Dob
son, Fred Neaves, and Tom Roth,
kept the party in an uproar with
their timely advice to the guest
of honor.
Everyone present brought some
sniaJl gift wliicli could not be of
the slightest use to the liride or
Those present were Charles
Calhoun, Henry Dobson, Fred
Neaves, Tom Roth, Gavin Dortch,
Robert Lankford, Charlie Hanes,
Dick Chatham and John Sagar.
The only casualty during the
evening was to Dick Chatham
who lit so many exploding cigar
ettes that his nerves were com
pletely wrecked.
Mr. Poindexter as a host has
no equal, and it was chiefly ow
ing to his efforts that the party
was such a success.
