Beautiful Home Wedding In
Florlda-Brlde Has Relatives In
Robeson.,
M nose, Fla , Dispatch, 1J fit.
A beautiful morning wedding
was that of Mr. Allen M. Wig
ginton, of Miami, andMissFlosSie
Corpew, which transpired at the
beautiful home of the bride Wed
nesday morning at eight o'clock
Notwithstanding the early
hour, quite a number of admir
ing friends of the contracting
parties were present to witness
the ceremony, which was per
formed by Rev. W. S. Lawler, ac
cording to the ritual of the Meth
odists church, in a beautiful and
impressive manner. f
The home was beautifully de
corated with palms and Duchess
roses, the spacious double par
lors being used for the occasion.
Just at the appointed hour the
bridal party entered to' the
strains of Mendelssohn's wed
ding march, beautifully render
ed by Miss Sadie Mullen. The
two bride's maids. Misses tlau.de
McRae and Mary DaCosta of
Gainsville, preceded the bride
and groom, entering from the
back parlor, and proceeded to
the front parlor, where the min
ister stood in the bay-window,
which was decorated in ever
greens and roses, and formed a
fitting shrine. Morrison's
Meditation" was softly played
during the progress of the cere
mony.
The bride's maids wore sofe
white dresses, while the attrac
tive bride was becomingly at
tired in a trailline gown of
blue silk, carrying a shower
bouquet of bride's rosesandtrail-
ing ferns.
After extending congaatula
tionsthe guests had an oppor
tunity of viewing the bridal pre
sents, which were elegant and
numerous, attesting to the popu
larity of the young couple.
Miss Corpew is the charming
daughter of Mrs. M. Corpew.
Having lived here since early
childhood, and by her attractive
ways, she has endeared herself
to all.
Mr. Wigginton is a young man
of sterling worth and for some
vears has been connected with a
large gents' furnishing house in
Miami.
After a tour of the State, Mr.
and Mrs. Wigginton will return
td Miami, their future home.
A distinctly local shower of a
very pleasing description fell in
Melrose on Monday afternoon for
the special benefit of Miss Flossie
Corpew in the shape of a granite
shower given by Mrs. O. C. Hus
band, and the many friends as
sembling at 4 o'clock were re
ceived by the hostess and usher
ed into the parlor,! which was
most prettily and gracefully de
corated with trailing itfy and pot
plants.
After a refreshing cup of tea.
Miss Sadie Mullens and Miss
Nora Husband entertained the
guests with some delightful
music: after which the hostess
invited the bride to lead the way
to an adjoining room to view the
many useful piece of granite
ware displayed on a long table.
The proverbial rain of "cats and
dogs" was nowhere to this
shower of pot and pans and
kettles of every size and descrip
tion. The rhymes accompany
ing many f the gifts were most
amusing and appropriate.
Later on delicious refresh
ments were served in the dining
room, the color scheme of decor
ations beiag pink and green.
THE CONFEDERATE MONUMENT.
Efforts Belna Made to Secure
Dr. Shepherd to Lecture Here
In Its Behalf.
Every effort on the part of the
Robeson Chapter Daughters of
the Confederacy is being made
to procure the services of the
distinguished Southern scholar
and educator; Dr. Henry E. Shep
herd, to deliver a lecture here,
in behalf of help raising sufficient
funds so that the proposed Con
federate monument can be placed
in our court house square.
This monument will be mod
eled after the most modern style.
A ta'l, marble shaft, with the
figure of a Confederate soldier on
top. The cost of this statute
will be between $3,500 and $4,000.
We assure our town people
such a monument would not only
beautify our public square, but
help the improvement of tbe
town and county at large. All
should join the Confederate
daughters in this work which
is for a worthy cause, and we
should follow the example of
other cities and towns that have
monuments. From outside re
ports, we hear that the ladies
throughout the county are doing
everything possible to push for
ward this enterprise.
Under advice of the officers of
the Robeson chapter, Mrs. T- A.
McNeill is doing the utmost to
get Dr. Shepherd here, and we
hope she will be successful in
procuring such a distinguished
orator.
In regards to Dr. Shepherd,
he should need no introduction
to our citizens, as he is a native
of Fayette ville, Cumberland cour
ty, our next county neighbor,
and should be well known to us.
As to his reputation, he is known
throughout the whole country
and England as well where he
was a great friend of the great
English poet, Alford Tennyson.
As an orator Dr. Shepherd is
one of the best in the South, and
perhaps the country, and should
he come here to deliver a lecture
it will be one we cannot afford to
miss, as far as an educational
purpose is concerned if nothing
else, for what we need at this
age of learning is to hear men of
this class and character, and we
should deem it an honor to have
this well-known scholar Jn our
midst. Therefore we extend him
a most hearty and cordial wel
come.

Mr. McCall Complains Aaalnst
Treatment by Local Officer.
Editor Robesonian:
I beg for a small bit of space
in the columns of your very val
uable paper to make a short
statement: I have been here
two weeks today, in the interest
of the McColl Novelty Works,
McColl, S. C, and it is in this
town that I find that I am a sus-picious-lookingcharacter.not
only
to your policeman on night duty,
but to the eyes of some others.
I suppose they are looking for a
fellow who wears a diamond. I
wear a diamond sometimes my
self, but did not know that it
was against the rules in Lumber
ton. An acquaintance, Mr. Hines,
and myself were strolling up
towards the postoffice on last
Sunday night at about 10:30
o'clock and were asked by this
policeman if we were stopping
around town. Mr. Hines an
swered him that we were and
took it as a joke, not knowing
that the man speaking was" an
officer. When we came to the
street leading to the Lumberton
Hotel we stopped and were dis
cussing some subject when a big
fellow came up and asked me for
a cigarette which I gave him. In
the meantime found him siz'mg
me up with a great deal of curi
osity. Pretty soon the "said cop"
came up having overtaken us,
drew his pistol with barrel point
ing directly towards me and I
beg to add it looked awfully dark
down the barrel; the longer I
looked the bigger it looked. Is
it his duty to draw his pistol on
strangers and demand their busi
ness, unless he has some evi
dence leading to suspicion? It
is very unpleasant to be dealt
with in this manner. Neither
one of us offered the slightest
resistance, so he had no provoca
tion to draw his gun. I am
hardly a safe cracker, as I am
not skillful enough with the nec
essary tools etc.
