The Entertainment
The entertainment given here
on Friday night of last week in
the hall over the Elkin Canning
Factory by the Morpliet and
Stevenson Company which is
< ravelling under the dir< ct ion of
the Dixie Lyceum Bureau, was of
a high order; perhaps the best
ever witnessed by our people at
home. Mr. Morpliet has a wide
range of talents—magician, mu
sician, ventriloquist and clown—
and in each a genius. While Mr,
Stevenson in his special line, that
of music has few equals. He
showed himself an expert per
former on a wide range of instru
ments. We are sure he could
have taken a number of tinjpans,
frying pans, or wooden buckets
and knocked good niuBic out of
them. He could have taken a
stick and knocked out nice mu
sic on a rail fence.
As a violinist Miss Jackson is
an artist. Her impersonating
was also good. Mrs, Morphet’s
part on the program was princi
pally that of assistant to her
husband.
All who attended went away
feeling that they had got their
money’s worth.

On Friday evening Mrs. Vir

2,000. The result of the election
is a complete repudiation of Cow-1 ater party in honor of Miss Angie
berd. j Smith. The following attended
The wedding last Tuesday even
ing at the elegant home of Mr,
and Mrs. A, M. Smith on Gwyn
Avenue was an elaborate affair,
eclipsing,perhaps, anything ot the
kind ever witnessed in Elkin—and
Elkin has witnessed quite a num
ber of fashionable weddings within
the past five or six years.
The contracting parties were
Mr. ,Iohn B. Horton, and Miss
Angie Smith, sister of Mr. A. M.
Smith, both of whom are well
known and deservedly popular.
The decorations were in excel
lent taste, the color scheme
throughout being pink and white;
almost a countless number o( pink
and white bells w'ere hanging
everywhere throughout the large
and well appointed Smith man
sion.
The beautiful ring service was
used, and Dr. C. W. Robinson of
the Presbyteria:i church, North
Wilkesboro united the destinies of
these two young people for life.
The bridal party was up stairs
while the guests were below. J ust
before the hour for the ceremony
Mrs. M. A. Biggs came down the
broad stairway and going to the
piano rendered an appropriate se
lection. Mrs. VirginiaHunt next
came down leaning on the arm of
Mr. Alex Chatham, Jr., and sang
Ijeautii'ully “I love you truly”
and “Dear Heart.”
While the strains of Mendel!-
shons wedding march, played by
Mrs. Biggs filled the large rooms,
and hallways, little Miss Margar
et Price and her little brother,
William, came down the stairway
and took positions just inside the
parlor. They were followed by
Miss DeWitt Chatham and Master
William Roth who look positions
near the parlor door. Following
these came Miss Louise Roth and
Master Thurmond Chatham.
ill
The little girls wore aocordian
plaited pink silk—the little boys
wore white iinen suits. The little
girls and little boysstanding aside
and holding a long ribbon on eith
er side formed an aisle through
which the party marched as they
entered. These came in the fol
lowing order: First the groom
attended by his brother, Mr. Wal
ter Horton, as best man, followed
by the bride, who was attended by
her sister,Mrs. Frank Jennings, as
dame of honor. The bride and
dame of honor were elegantly
gowned ; the former in white satin
the later in pink silk. The bride
carried lillies of-the-^'ulley—the
dame of honor carnations.
The impressive marriage cere-
mony over, a brief period of con
gratulations followed after which
all repaired to the dining room
where a solid course was served
From the dining room they were
conducted into the sitting room
where coffee and chocolate were
;Served. They then repaired to the
library where they were again
^erved, this time to punch.
: As the guests left for their
homes or hotels each was given as
a souvenir a box having on it in
gold the initials of the bride and
groom in monogram—each box
contained a small piece of the
wedding cake.
Mr and Mrs. Horton left on the
early train Wednesday morning
for Washington City where several
days will be spent. From Wash
ington they expect to come to Vir
ginia, the former home of the
bride where some time will be
spent with her relatives and
friends.
Below we give the names of the
out-of-town guests who attended
the wedding; Mrs. N. R. Horton,
the groom’s mother; Messrs. Wal.
ter and Crit Horton; Mr. and
Mrs. Walter Gwyn; Messrs. T. B.
and Chas. Finley; Mrs. J. L.
Clemmons; Mrs. E. S. Blair; Mr.
Henry Blair; Dr. Horton and

There will^ie thanksgiving ser
vice at the ehurch ouuextThurs-
da.y at 11 o’clock a. m. The
church at Swan Creek has ap
pointed a meeting of some da.ys
to commence on the 27th of De
cember, 1908, everybody is cor-
dialh’ invited to meet with us
and take part in the services, as
we think it is better to spend
some time iii devotional service
to our creator during the holi
days than to spend them in sport
and revelry as some take a de
light in doin^.
Members of the church should
let their light shine before the
world if their is any light in
them.
We are living in the laud of
peace and plent.y and are expect
ing a full mef^ura of prosperity
to follow. Tffefarmers are about
done gathering in and cribbing
their corn, and we think there is
about an average crop in this
settlement this year.
Our free .“cbool commences to
day at Windy Ridge. Miss Mar
tin is the teacher.
., Mr. and Mrs. J. Z. Adnms were
visiting friends and relatives on
Hunting Creek Sunday.
May peace and harmony
abound throughout our land'
and country. Tuggy.
