Hia Point. Feb. 1.Th beauti ful wedding of MIm Annie TomUn un r" And Mr. O.iarles Merrlmon liauser was solemnised at te Friends church at 7:50 o'clock Tuesday even kng, February 12th. v The prominence '.' f the famine, the popularity of the two most concerned, who are so charmingly Identified with the social . life In Its finest, sonse, made It im possible that carda-Ao jthelr wedding could be issued and viceivl other wise than with such an Interest tnat from Its deepness was unusual, and this Increases, till the last few days . leading up to the nuptial hour, the entire town seemed to be helping to ring the Jot bells, and the inner clr civs of society were In a flutter of excitement. Long before the ap ; pointed hour for the wedding, or even the hour for the opening of tne church doors the streets were alive With the Click of horses' feet and the nimble of carriage wheels, and the long stoops and porches to this beau tiful house of worship were crowded .with friends Who held cards of ad mission. It required only a glance - at this assembly to form a faint idea I of how deeply these two were ad- mired and esteemed In the hearts of the people who had known them ' longest and best. There were friends of all ages, from different stages in ' life., . Ths fathers and mothers were - there who Just a vry few years ago knew her as tne child who used to $o In and out of their home, mingling with their daughters, and who by her frank, unaffected sweetness held tho love of those a great deal older than fterself, as well as the garland of . friends her own age who grew closer . and closer as she developed Into beau "" tlful young womanhood. And tho Httlo school children, whom sne had Instructed and guided and with her sympathy and Kentleiwss had helped to round and shape to perfect moulds, waited even as in the old fairy-tale, with all Its beauty, with all the golden glamour with whlcto childhood's fan cy could clothe It, Its exquisite metaphor. Its charming allegory and compared the story being enacted be fore their eyes until the pretty fairy tale had become a reality. At 7 o'clock tho doors were open ed and from that time till the hour for the bridal party to arrive the attentive ushers were kept busy as signing the goests to their reserved eats. Out-of-town gueBts, club iglrls and special friends were given the side circles S'ate. while the bank bfflclals and their families fell In in the order In which they came. Noth ing elaborate In tho way 'of decora tions was attempted. The pulpit and organ were hidden by a very tall crescent topped wire, which was fill ed In wltn spicy cedar. In front of this and tapering to the lloor were palms and ferns In all their statell ness. At tho foot of this, Just a little above the white carpet, rising In Snowy, regal grace and purity, were many tall calla lilies. Rising still higher on either side were the cut glass candellabra, from which the tall, puro white candles rose out of sockets surroundfd by many pendants and over and shove all, on the wall at the rear of the ban' of green, was festoomed a garland of cedar. As the electric lights In the main edifices were turned off and the white carpet from the head of the aisle were rolled to the doors leading to the vestibule, there fell an expressive silence that was only broken when the doors to the vestibule opened and Hon. Wee cot Roberson, escorting Miss Kat'n ryn Orlffin, of Newbern, who was ? owned In white lace and cloth with avender hat, and Mr. Prank Boyles, escorting Miss Rosa Fenn, of Hender sonvllle, who wore a gown of soft lavender silk and ecru lace with picture hat to match, and carried an arm full of pink carnations. Then the ushers escorted Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lyon and Master James Lyon. Mr. and Mrs. Dalton, of Winston; Mr. and Mrs. S. Halstesd Tomllnson and Mrs. L. J. Dlffee, Mr. and Mrs. Parker, Miss Laura Btlmson, of Ashe boro, and Judge Oeorge W. Ward, of Elisabeth City, and other friends and relatives. The gowns of Oil party, who proceeded the wadding party, were particularly stylish and beauti ful. Through a silence that was almost profound and under the skilled touch of Miss Kathryn Orlfrln. the organ pealed forth and atmosphere! the Ckurch with melodies unnesrd be fore, and standing among; tho palms tnd ferns Miss Rosa Fern's voice, perfectly placed and nicely focunud and every contrlv and every cautiously wolhed note, rur and clear ami vibrant, tho ring D her voice wss glorious as sh ang, "Because God Made Then mine." As three sweet words which Miss Fern sang with an innermost feel ing softly died away, with groat ef fectiveness of muslcsl genius and understanding, she plunged right Into "I for Tou and Tou for Me," with all the practical Joy of youth. As these words ceaswd, the organ peal ed under the Infallible, all-conquering, technique touch of Miss (Irlflln, and its tone swelled with the grand and significant conruptlon of Mendels sohn's "Wedding March," to the trains of which tlx flmt to enter were the eelehrnnts.

Then cam the tall, graceful maid of honor, Miss Hertna Louisa Ragon, wearing a beautiful creation of soft clinging pink chiffon over ; pink taffeta, with real lace trimmings. Her arms were full of pink bridesmaids roses and tne long ends of whit chiffon with which they were tied fell to the pink slippers.

Leaning on the arm of her mother. Mrs. Anna w, Tomllnson, who was gowned tn handsome black mousse line over taffeta trimmed In rich old laco, was the handsome, regal bride. She was elegantly gowned In an ex quisite Imported creation of filmy white net, over taffeta, fashioned em pire and elegantly trimmed In rich rose point, and valenclennes lace. The only ornament she wore was a handsome necklace with pendant of pearls and diamonds, the gift of the groom. The long veil which en veloped her graceful figure was dot ted all about wltn pale, slim lilies of the valley, and among the feathery ferns and queenly brides roses of the shower bouquet this same delicate, starry white, modest little flower, was used and In a mystic language bore their testimony of the boundless faith, the unfaltering trust that this gracious, dignified young woman had placed In that many specimen of manhood, that noble man to wnom she had been drawn by the holiest sentiment possible to human beings, that true man who was waiting for her at the Hymeneal altar, ready to proclaim to the world that he would honor, cherish and love as long as life should last. And now comes mother's part, the giving of her last daughter unto another, and as she feels the tears come to her eyes she grieves, a looking backward Into the years when life was young, when there was another one with wtoom she found Just such an experience sweet, when they, too, found life very complete, and the Joy of living boundless, so with a prayer In her heart, a smile on her Hps, she takes this daughter's hand and places It in the 'nand of her betrothed husband, and eoftly, sweetly, as If wafted from r.den, "Schubertr Screnado" breathed forth while the celebrants read the beautiful ceremony of the Methodist Episcopal church, and when the words were aald and they were pro nounced man and wife, the retreating march, Wagner's "Tannhauser," peal ed fort'n with music's very soul.

M. loett A CoT t:i.u;: i ; .:.: .ii...iA. fiJK'cliil Aj-nt C.'.ti U Coiti-ludca Hint Country fiariily :.:, ra filarkct for ' ; American .iioodx, , In a, recent report to tho Bureau of Manufacturers, at Washington, Special Agent W. A. Clark, of the Department of Commerce and Labor,, concludes that Manchuria at present would hardly afford a market for textile pro ducts other than what It now uses, though It can be expected to take an Increasing amount ot these goods and gradually to use some finer grades. Samples of the goods can be obtained from the Bureau of Manufactures as soon as they arrive from China Mr. Clark, details the textile requirements, with suggestions' for adaptations by American mills, & followa: tx . As shown by the customs returns, the textile demand in Manchuria, Is for sheeting, drills and jeans, gray and white shirtings, and for yarn. There is also av small demand for T cloths, for black Italians, Turkey red "nlrtlnga, prints, dyed shirtings and brocades, velvets and velveteens, handkerchief and towels. The other manufactures ot cotton Imported are handkerchiefs, y towels and yarn. American sheeting and drills-, have heretofore sold themselves on this market, their widespread use simply being due to their qualRy and the fact that they filled need that could be supplied elsewhere, but hereafter the American monopoly can only be held by Americans in Manchuria pushing the sale of American goods. Of these goods imported the great majority, probably 80 per cent, of the total, are 2:85 and t-yard goods of about 48 by 41 average construction. There are also soma 8. 25 and 8.60 yard and a few 4 and 4.50 yard goods. BRITISH IMITATION OF AMERI CAN GOODS. In Jeans the United States, while not having as absolute a monopoly as on sheetings and drills, yet has over three-fourths the trade. This is due to the popularity of a single brand of American Jeans that Is practical ly the only one sold here. This "chop," the well-known "Beaver" brand of the Pepperell Mills, Is so popular that it has been Imitated by English mills, aa shown by two samples forwarded to the Bureau of Manufactures. THE SHIRTING SITUATION. In gray shirting America, in 1905, supplied Manchuria with 79,218 pieces; England supplied 100,780 pieces, and the Japanese, 8,000 pieces. There is no reason why tMs field can not be controlled by America as well In sheetings. These gray shirtings are 88, 88 1-2 and 89 inches wide and 88 to 89 yards long, with a few 3-lnch 40-yard goods, also classed as shirt ings. They are quoted not by the yards to the pound, but always by the pounds to the piece. They run from about 7 to 11 pounds to the piece, whloh would correspond to 5 1-2 to 8.65 yards to the pound. Construc ntlo vary from 15 by 11 to 18 by '20, per quarter Inch. In Manchuria the principal gray shirting used seems to be an 8 1-4-pound (4.65 yards to the pound), 38 1-2 Inches wide and 38 1-2 yards long. The construction was 60 warp and 66 filling ends per Inch. This was selling at Newchwang, No vember 1, 1906, at 2.2 taels per piece, which equals 81.67 gold per piece, or, say, 4.34 cents per yard. At Klrlm, on November 12, this same piece was selling at 94 In Klrlm email coin, whloh equals 3J.82 gold per piece, or. say, 4.78 cents per pound. These goods are sold among the Chinese on the "chop" reputation, so that to give Hat of prices for different weights would be of no value, as one 8 1-4-pound piece might be of the same value as another 7-pound piece, de pending entirely on the varying con struction and make of the goods. Nearly all of these gray 'shirtings have a heading woven In the piece at the end. This ia not a colored head ing such as la used for T-cloths and Mexicans, but Is made by using a dif ferent number of filling for a few picks, usually about twice as coarse as the regular filling, and also run ning In a few picks of tlneel. For In stance, In a 8 1-4-pound piece there were six repeats of filling stripes, con slating of four coarse and one tinsel pick each, and then there was a space of two Inches of the regular filling and then eight picks of coarse filling;. This Is the usual style of heading, the first of coarse filling and tinsel being about in Inch wide and the other two Inches away, of a few picks of coarse filling about one-quarter Inch wide. TUB T-CLOTH TRADE. There Is a small 'business done In T-cloths, and the Japanese have also begun to Introduce these, but a T-t-loth Is practically a narrow sheet ing, and the people prefer the full width shoetlngs. T-cloths are said to have been so-called from the fact that they were originally exchanged for Chinese tea, heme the name tea cloth or T-cloth. They are usually 82 Inches wide by 24 yards, long; others are 36 Inches wide by 24 yards, while still others, classed at T-cloths, are 3 2 Inches wide by 40 yards long. Moat of the 33 Inch 24-yard class Import ed Into China are Indian, while of the oilier two kinds English moks largely predominates. Very little comes from America, and none of this gets to Munchurla. Altogether, In 1905, Man churia Imported only 7.988 pieces of T-cloth, of which 7,608 were 32-Inch width and only 375 of the 36-Inch width. These goods, like Mexicans, have a colored heading which varies from one-half to 1 8-4 Inches wide. The T-cloth that Is most largely used In Manchuria Is a 7-pound, 32 ln h, 24-yard piece that has 69 warp ends and 73 filling picks per Inch. This pleve wss selling In Klrln at 13 20 a plece.ln Klrln small coin, which Is about 6 cents a yard gold. The head ends on these, as on jrray sWrtlngs, are many and various, and are fre quently tnado tn order to suit a par ticular merchant. MANCHURIA'S YARN TRADK. Practically the entire yarn trade of Manchuria Is In the hands of the Jap aneso firm of Mitsui Uuaaan Kalsha (Mitsui Products) Company.) The pro portion of Japanese yarn la Increea Ing, but the large portion of the yarn and Legislatures legislate and lay that railways mast use the block system to protect human Ufo.

It ha beeft considered that on ac count of China's cheap labor and the cheapness) of their dye It would not pay to dye this cloth In America. From what I have seen of the small establishments in 'which this dyeing is carried on and the fact that. Indigo dyeing on a large scale Is done very Cheaply now in the United States, I am Inclined to doubt this and think It is a matter worth looking .Into by our manufacturers and dyers.
