FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 1917
Don't forget to write it 1917
now.
Resolve to use your influrence
and money too, if necessary, in
doing something for Farmville
in 1917.
Wake up Farmville Commu
nity Chamber of Commerce.
Don't let the New Year get too
far ahead of you before starting
something. There are a good
many things that the town and
community needs and must have
ere another new year overtakes
us. ?' y '
Start the New Year of 1917
arigfit by trading with those firms
who appreciate your patronage
enough as to keep you posted on
their line of merchandise through
the columns of The Enterprise."
You can always count on a square
deal from the firm who is not
afraid to advertise his business.
The New Year has brought
whh it at least one thing our
people are glad to take notice of
?the cleaning up to some extent
. the lobby of the postoffice. Let
us hope an electric light may al
so be placed4o burn therein, that
patrons may be able to see how
to get their mail at night without
the aid of matches.
Let one of .Farmville's Ne .v
Year resolutions be to beautify
ing the town to some extent.
The general apperance of the
business section could be greatly
improved on by removing all
and complete the paving of a few
block* This can all be done
with an expenditure of only a
few thousand, and we see no
need of delaying the matter.

man was given in marriage to !
Lonnie I. Pierce. The Rev. A. j
G. Harriss pastor of the First

ciated. The church was most
artistically decorated, the scheme
being green and white. Just be
fore the ceremony, Misses Ethel
Moore and Gladys . Warren sang
"Schubert's Sernade," and Miss i
Mavis Evans sang "All For You." |
Then to the strains of Loheng

by Miss Lillian Crispt, the groom
entered with his brother Mr. C.

Next entered the bride with her
sister, Miss Ethet Pittman who
was maid of honor. The bride
was handsomely attired in a go
ing-a way-suit of blue chiffon
broodcloth, with seal fur trimm
ing, and hat, gloves and shoes to
match, carrying a bride's bouquet
of orchids and lilies of- the valley.
Mac Dowell's MTcr a Wild Rose"
was softly played during the cere
money. As the bridal party was
leaving thechurcb, Mendelshon's

Miss Lillian Crisp. I
A large number of friends mot

gifts they received. .
