Walters -
Hackney
A wedding that held much in
terest in Roanoke Rapids was sol
emnized at the Cedar Grove Meth
odist Church in Pittsboro, when
Miss Ruth Snipes Hackney became
the bride of Leon Taylor Walters
of Roanoke Rapids. The decora
tion in the church presented a
lovely scene; the chancel was
banked with long leaf pine, ivy
and ferns, tall urns filled with
Queen Ann’s lace, gladioli, lilies
and small white asters. Tall stan
dards with lighted cathedral can
dles added much beauty to the
surroundings. Mrs. Annie Bynum
talented musician, rendered several
selections preceding the ceremony.
Rev. J. C. Reichard was the offi
ciating minister. The ushers were
Raymond H. Andrews and Wil
liam L. Riggsbee. The bridegroom
entered with his brother, W. C.
Walters, who was best man.
The bride, a lovely brunette, en
tered with her father, Kemp H.
Hackney, who gave her in mar
riage. She was most becomingly
dressed in a street length peri
winkle blue chiffon dress and a
large hat in the same shade, and
both hat and dress were trimmed
in vintage rose. Her flowers were
a shoulder corsage of sweetheart
roses, valley lilies and forget-me
nots. The bride had as her maid
of honor Miss Lena Hackney and
little Anzenette Andrews was flow
er girl. As the vows were spoken
the organist softly played “To A
Wild Rose" by McDowell. For the
recessional Mendelssohn’s wedding
march was used.
Mrs. Walters is the attractive
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kemp
H. Hackney of Pittsboro. For the
past few years she has taught in
our local schools. She is also re
lated to Miss Clara Hearne. Mr.
Walters is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Luther Thomas Walters, and for
the last few years he has been the
popular manager of Pender’s Store
here. They will be at home to
their many friends at their apart
ment, 922 Hamilton Street.

errors. First inning No. 2 scored
five runs off one hit—Patterson

for Rosemary came across in the
fifth inning when the No. 1 boys
made three errors. Dock Wood,
Roanoke No. 1 boy, made a spec
tacular catch th at made the fans
give him a good hand. Also, Rose
mary’s 3rd baseman brought the
fans to their feet with his flashy
playing. Paul Aycock had a per
