Stop That Cough.
A hacking cough weakens the whole
system, drains your energy and gets
worse if neglected; your throat is
raw, your chest aches and you feel
sore all over. Relieve that cold at
once with Dr. King's New Discovery.
The soothing pine balsams heal the
irritated membranes, and the antisep
tics and laxative qualities kill the
germs and break up your cold. Don't!

On January 3rd, 1917, at the at
tractive, commodius home of Mrs.
Cora Phifer Erwin, her daughter,
Miss Adelaide Avery Erwin, in the
presence of a large and brilliant com
pany, promptly at 11 a. m., became
the bride of Mr. William Elliott
White, of Graham, N. C. Those sweet
little girls, Corinna Laxton, Jean
Alexander, Gertrude and Corinne Bo
ger, all prettily dressed in white,
formed an aisle with pink ribbons
from the door of the dining room to
the parlor where a beautiful bridal
altar of rare ferns and a richly ar
ranged profusion of other green
plants awaited the coming of the
prospective bride, groom and attend
ants. As Mrs. A. M. Ingold, with ex
quisite touch played Lohengrin's wed
ding march, there entered the aisle
the groom, his best man and brother,
Harvey White,, the dame of honor,
Mrs. L. B. McKoy, sister of the bride,
wearing a grey georgette crepe, hand
some black picture hat and pink roses,
then the bride, leaning on the arm
of her brother, Edward Erwin, gown
ed in a handsome brown chiffon broad
cloth, with hat and shoes to match
and an exquisite corsage of violets
and lillies of the valley.
The Rev. C. E. Gregory, pastor of
the Presbyterian church, used the
beautiful ring service that welded the
twain together, and he did it with the
sweetest tenderness. Well might the
poet have said of this marriage:
"Two volumes bound in one complete
With thrilling story old, but sweet;
No title needs the cover fair,
Two golden hearts-are blended there."
After the ceremony an informal re
ception was held in the dining room
which was tastefully decorated with
scores of white wikcer baskets filled
with pink carnations and where de
licious refreshments were served.
Mr. Wm. E. White, of Graham, N.
C, is secretary and treasurer of a
large cotton plant there known as th
Travora Manufacturing Company. A
gentleman of most geniel, affable
manner, of rare business qualifica
tion , fine intelligence and of the
highest character, his armor is woven
of truth, justice and uprightness.
As to the bride the most richly,
jeweled words would fail to express
her .many charms and virtues. No
young woman of Morganton
ever mj!re universally beloved and
no one will be more missed iri the so
cipal, intellectual and religious life
of our town. Of rare literary culture
illuminative in conversation, refined
in sentiment, placid, sweet of temper,
she is firm in her convictions and
"Her soul doth ever poise and swing,
Like the compass in its brazen ring,
Ever level, ever true,
To any task she has to da."
Handsome of person, with a state
wide reputation for her loveliness of
character and graces descended
from an illustrious ancestry, she ever
has a geniel smile for the humble and
lowly, and for them, as for others,
there is a mellow lute upon her lips
that charms with its tender tone. We
are warranted in believing that no
tomorrow's sun will ever find this
r
couple at variance but that daily they
will renew their sweet and holy vows.
The presents were numerous, -elegant
and costly.
The out-of-town guests were: Mr.
and Mrs. A. M. Dixon, of Gastonia,
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. White, of Graham,
Mr. and Mrs. P. R. Carlton, and Dr.
L. G. Beall, of Greensboro, Mr. and
Mrs. L. B. McKoy, Mr. and Mrs. F.
M. Laxton, Misses Annie Parks and
Susie Hutchison and Mrs. J. A. Hous
ton, of Charlotte, Miss Carrie Hoff
man, of Statesville, Mr. and Mrs. E.
T. Erwin, of University of Mississip
pi, Mrs. S. E. Moran, of Winston, Mr.
J. V. Pomroy, of Graham, Mr. W. A.
Avery, of Plum Tree, Mrs. J. P. Cald
well and daughter, Adelaide, of Char
lottf.
Oo No. 11 at 12 o'clock the bride
and groom left for Florida and Cuba,
where they will spend their honey
moon. The best wishes of The News-Herald
and this entire community goes
out to them for a soft and happy voy
age on life's uncertain sea.
