On Christmas eve, that hal lowed evening preceeding the anniversary of the greatest event in the world's history, our quiet little village was en livened by the interesting news that we were to have a mar riage in town that night. Such proved to be true, and the con tracting parties were Mr. Tlios. H. McNeill and Miss Bertha Gerald. At 7:30 o'clock, the parlors of the Oates Hotel were brilliantly illuminated and the groom arrived accompanied by a small party of friends. These consisted of Rev. W. B. Morton and Mr. A. B. Harold with the bridegroom, Misses Annye Har per and Ora Wilson with Messrs. C, R. Young and A. L. Newberry, Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Privett and Miss Viola McNeill and Mr. and Mrs. C.L. Wilson. At precisely eight o'clock, Rev. W. B. Morton rose from his seat, while the bride and groom walked in aud stopped before him in the ceutre of the room. The minister prefaced the ceremony by a few appro priate remarks, showing the sancity and solemnity of mar riage, aud quoting some passa ges from the Bible to show that the ordinance has the approval of God and the Holy Trinity The marriage vows were then taken and he pronounced them man and wife. The friends of the happy couple crowded around them to wish them much happiness in their future life After the ceremony the little company adjourned to the home of the groom's father. Mr. H. C. McNeill. Mr. Thos. H. McNeill, the groom, is well known in our town and county as a young man of talent, energy ancl much bu-iuess ability. He is editor and proprietor of the DEMOCRAT IC BANNER and is a thoroughly up-to-date newspaper man, fa miliar with every branch of the profession. The bride, Miss Bertha Gerald, is the beautiful and accomplished daughter of Mi-, and Mrs. T. L. Gerald, late of Kansas City, but well known in our town. On Friday evening, I)ec.2Gth a beautiful reception was given to the brido and groom at the home of Mr and Mrs. M. H. Privett. Mrs. Privett is a sis ter of Mr. McNeill. At this beautiful home, where every courtesy is always extended the guests, and where each, one is made to feel a warm welcome, and where the charming person ality of our host and hostess add to the beauty of their tasty and luxuriously appointed home, here a host of friends assembled to greet the young couple. At 10 p.m. supper was served to the company. Here every del icacy of the season, with fruits and confections in abundance made a charming report. The bride and groom have many friends in our town and community, all of whom wish them every joy and happiness in their future life. A. B. H. Hancock's Liquid Sulphur is endorsed and prescribed by many leading physicians throughout the country for all blood and skin troubles. Hun dreds of cases of eczema and other skiu diseases have been permanently cured by the use of Hancock's Liquid. After all other remedies failed and pro nounced incurable. For salo by Hood & Grantham. Boon-Holder Marriage. On Dec. 18th at 12 :30 o'clock Mr. William D. Boon, one of Benson's popular young busi ness men and Miss Eva Holder, one of Dunn's charming and highly cultered young ladies were married in the Methodist church. It was one of the pret tiest and most impressive mar riages ever solemnized in our citv. IW. B. B. Holder, father of the bride, performed the cere mony in an impressive mauner. The c'lurch was beautifully decorated, and showed a great J deal ol taste and skill. The ( chorus choir was composed of i six young ladies all dressed ir white, with black hats. Mrs. T. L. 11. Young presided at the organ with her usual grace and ease. The bridal party marched in the following order : Marie Wade with the mar riage certificate and Westley Thompson carrying the wed ding ring, followed by Messrs. Wilbur Hall, Zeb Htzjjerald, I. W. Row, and J. o. Holder the ushers. After iliese caiue the llower girls Madrid Hood and Louise Cox. Then came Miss Meda Holder and Mr. B. M. Jones, Mr. W. 1). Boon, the groom, with his brother, Mr. VV. J. Boon, as best man, and then came the bride leaning on the arm of her sister, Mrs. B. M. Jones, maid of honor. After the ceremony was per formed the bridal party repair ed to Hotel Divine where a sumptuous dinner was served. The bride and groom left on the north bound train for quite an extended bridal tour north . We wish for them a long, happy and prosperous life. Hancock's Liquid Sulphur baths are superior to. tlios°> ot the most celebrated sulphur springs, having the- additional advantage of being made any desired strength. Tak" «g med icine by absorption into the sys tem through the skin by taking medical baths is a very efficient method of obtaining a constitutional treatment. It never fails to cure eczema and all blood and skin diseases. Ask your druggist f>r a book on GENERAL CAUR FOR SENATOR. (Continued from lirst'pago.) public opinion. I have visited a country in the picturesque valley of the Connecticut, where the people have forgotten the primitive teachings of their pil grim fathers, and stand for cen tralization, I have come home to take up my covenant again with renewed hope and strength. It is not clear to my mind but that some day ambitions will build upon the ruins of our old State the strong edifice of royal prerogatiou; when our people are reposing in fancied security, some ambitious leader may seize the flag and assuming the seductiue guise of disinterested patriotism grasp the imperial diadem. Let us throttle the monster of sordid commercia lism if we can, with the means best available, and with men best able. General Carr has grown up in the school that has furnished those skilled minds that have prepared tariff legis lation. Can that be said of any other public man in the State? Will he use this knowledge for the benefit of the people? Ilis whole life is an open book. There is not a page that a pa triot would conceal from the public eye; not a paragraph that does not show his love for his country. When a young man he had but one ambition, it was kindred to the inspira tion that pointed to the good of Nathaniel Macon's desires ; and tlrat was that in the maturity of his powers, when his "eye was utidimmed and his nature una bated" he might be thought worthy to represent his great State in the United States Sen ate. Does he deserve this flat tering enconium ; this elevated station? Ask the old soldiers who are standing now in the fading twilight, the afterglow of the baptismal sunset on the field of carnage, that gave to you in sweet trust the immor tal valor of your father. Ask the men who made every val ley in the South a Marathon, every mountain pass a Ther mopylae and every hill a Bunk er. Ask the "Old Guard." who Helpless and h >«dess saw the Northern 1 r ve swarm upon our ungarnered field when victory was disaster and defeat was death. Ask his comrades who saw the despot wave his re sistless sceptre over the scari fied plains and ruins of North Carolina. Ask the men who stood to the guns when the scourge of God swept down the valley of the Shenandoah, with the destructive impulse of Hy der Ali on the Carnatic. Ask the veterans who followed Lee and Jackson and Stuart, whom the enemy that oppressed us heartlessly say should have monuments of human bones up on foundations slippery with human blood; enemies who have taken from the dear old head of the Confederate soldier the halo of glory and ur.wreath ed around it a circlet of hissing curses, as horrible as the writh ing snakes of Medusa; over whose graves they say there should be no requim but the groans of dying men and wom en and the muttered execrations of orphans and widows. Ask the trustees of our public chari ties, seminaries, graded schools and colleges ; his beaofactions have given them renewed hope acid strength. Aik the men who are in authority. Ask '.he million patriots who placed the seal of condemnation upon the lotli amendment and swore by their manhood, their civiliza tion. that neither the delta of the Congo, nor the canebrakes of Louisiana should furnish the patriots and statesmen of North Carolina ; that the blood of the Saxon and the cavalier, of the Norman and the Huguenot, in termingled was "thicker than water." Ask these classes and masses if General Carr is not our foremost civilian in philan thropy, patriotism, valor and statesmanship. Ask them, ask the people who are bound to gether bv a circle of morals in cluding the obligations of jus tice and a sentiment of grati tude, reciprocally acting and re acting do they not desire that you demand his election. As a Confederate soldier and as ,the author of the law of 1885 which gave to the Confederate soldier and widow a pension, I feel that I may ask my comrades of the lost cause and their sous to help elect General Carr to the Senate.
