It anticipates a little more than $10,000,000 for the maintenance of the State government during the conning year and for the support of the educational and charitable insti tutions. The ad valorem tax is con trary to the hope of the "best minds" in the legislature, but with its an nouncement is the statement that North Carolina cannot hold a pro gressive stride without it. STOLE A CHICKEN 20 YEARS Twenty years for stealing a chick en! Eddie Bostick shook his head dazedly and moaned: "Good Lawd, man; stealin' a chicken ain't no crime it's a accomplishment." But a Chicago jury refused to change its verdict. The fact that Eddie's vic tim was a pedestrian bound for home made it highway robbery. A LUNCHEON COMPLIMENTARY TO MISS COURTNEY The most delightful social event of the season was an informal lunch eon given by Mrs. H. W. Courtney last Friday in ompliment to Miss Alice Courtney. A dozen guests as sembled on this happy occasion, and it prov'ed to be a very eventful one as well. Mrs. C. L. Robbins gave a piano solo in her very best style. This was followed by a song sweetly sung by Mrs. Hickerson. The accomplished young daughter of the hostess, little Miss Josephine, then delighted every one by singing "1 Love You Truly." This musical program was brought to a close with the wedding march, played by little Mary Gwyn Hicker son, and to its inspiring strains in marched a tiny bride in white wed ding dress with long veil and orange blossoms. This fairy bride, little Dorothy Courtney, handed around white baskets tilled with rice, and a tiny envelope also was found. Of course curiosity and interest were at high tide and no time was lost in reading the contents, which read "Bride and Groom Honeymoon, Bit and Hunt, Feb. 19th, 1921." The bride-elect was then showered with the rice. The hostess requested each guest to register in a dainty book, where they were also to write an acrostic on the bride's name, giving her use ful advice on "How to manage a husband." This advice was given by the "experienced and inexperienced." The guests were then ushered into the dining room, which must have been decorated by Dan Cupid him self, so perfect was the setting. A tiny candle was at each plate and they were lighted simultaneously, with the prediction that the one whose candle burned out first would be the next bride. Miss Janie Maury Bernhardt's proved to be the fortun ate one. Attractive menu cards then claim ed attention. This menu was tempt ing in every respect, being as beau tiful as it was good as good as it was beautiful. It was as follows: Sentimental Baskets Hearts Encircling Love n a Cottage United Hearts Golden Pyramids Spiced Sweetness Candle-Light Salad Hearts F rozen in Jealousy rond Remembrance Nectar Hearts' Ease After this beautiful repast Mrs. Rufus L. Gwyn toasted the bride-to-be most appropriately, and Miss Es telle Blackwell toasted the groom in ; happy manner. 1 he bride-elect re ponded to the many toasts most gra lously. The charming honoree was beauti fully gowned in gray and blue Can ton crgpe with picture hat and cor sage bouquet of Parma violets, and was neyer more lovely than on this occasion. The guests were profuse in their praises ot the hostess, who is noted for her hospitality and beautiful entertainments. What Others Think YOU- are invited to attend and see for yourself.
