ForWel don township it is $13.00 and Roa noke Rapids $15.00 per acre.

Deans Harrell, which occurred last Wednesday morning, as we were at press, was the second to be solemnized in our new Baptist edifice. And again the interior was beautifully decorated with potted plants and maiden hair ferns, the color scheme being green and white. Miss Castine Morris, sister of the bride was Maid of Honor and Mr. Hugh Howell, of Woodland was best man. Master E. Lysle Gatling acted as 'Knight," and little Miss Alice War ren Morris was "ring bearer." The ushers were Messrs. J. L. Stokes, Claude Pierce, J. L. Hayes, and Ray Boyette, of Scotland Neck. Miss Willie Perkins Mizell beauti fully rendered Mendelshon's wed ding march; and Miss Mamie Powell, of Boston, sweetly sang Schubert's Serenade. The bride, who was gowned in a travelling suit of grey, carrying bride roses, is the eldest daughter of our townsman, T. W. Morris, and is one of our towns most popular and most lovable young women, possess ing many charms of character and disposition, and we congratulate our friend on winning the hand of such a fine young woman. She will make an ideal wife, for she was an ideal young woman, and will be greatly missed in our community. Mr. Harrell is a native of North hampton county, and was at one time a trusted employee of Baker & Edwards, of Lewiston. 'He is now a successful young business man of Scotland Neck. His many friends in Eertie and the many friends and relatives of his bride attested their esteem by the great number of presents given them. And they wish for them a long and happy union.

Mizell tendered the bridal party a most de lightful reception, and among the visitors present was Miss Mary Harrell, of Woodland.- -Windsor Ledger, July 4th. lib Ut ij-ltiJfll ft ilitul u .ft.t. Mrs. Bessie Mccre Msrk; Written for The Commonwealth. On Sunday, July 2, 1911, the whole community was shocked and grieved when news was received of the death of Mrs. W. B. Marks at her home in Jamesville. Mrs. Marks' health had been bad for some time, but was thought to be somewhat improved. Mr. Marks left the home early Sun day morning to be ; gone a. short time, and upon his return h found her lying across the bed dead. Be fore leaving the house he talked to her and she seemed to be all right, talking to him in her usual cheerful manner. The doctor was called and pronounced it heart failure. Before her marriage she was Miss Bessie Moore, daughter of J. G. and Ella Merritt Moore. She was born December 24, 18S7, joined the Methodist church in 1905, was mar ried i to W. B. Marks January 12, 1907. She leaves a husband, an eleven months old baby boy, a fath er, two sisters, two brothers, a step mother, two half brothers and a half sister, a host of loving friends to mourn their loss. Her . remains were brought to Scotland Neck Monday morning and laid to rest in the Baptist cemetery. What threatened to be a r-erious conflagration Wednesday ni"ht of last wetk was narrowly tvert-vd by the prompt action of those present at the Selwyn Theatre at Madry's opera house. This is a motion pic ture theatre recently established by Messrs. S. E. Bland and E. F. Ails brook. Everything went well until the performance was about half over, when from some unaccounta ble cause the film took fire, and like powder the blaze shot up. Mr. Bland was operating-the machine and narrowly escaped being serious ly burned, v v - - l ' Upon the alarm being given the people rushed after b-uckets and soon had the blaze extinguished, but not before the picture machine was badly damaged, four reels of films burned, and the opera house badly scorched and smoked. The house soon filled with smoke so dense that it was impossible to get to the elec tric switch to turn on the light, the hall being dark when the fire occur red, and the switch being located at tho rear of the stage. a Besides the lost cf the four reels of films the damage was slight, not being over $25 to Messrs. Bland and Allsbrook, and probably $50 to the opera house, which is insured, but Mr. Madry not having a special per mit for the picture show, we are in formed, his insurance is void. And Brit Andrews lost his coat. On Monday afternoon Chief of Police. J. C. Tucker and Constable R. W. Hudson made a raidLon a buil ding in the rear of the colored Epis copal church on the south side of the river and caught nine playing cards and .shooting crap. They were all colored and were taken before May or Holden under a charge of grvmb limg, which the evidence sustained sufficint that he placed them all under a $100 justifiable bond to await the next term of the Superior Court. The bonds were all given. Franklin Times. " . Tell your troubles to your friends and they'll say: "Huh, that's nothing!" NOW!
