WHOLE'iO. 2539 i A Beautiful Marriage at Lum ber Bridge Miss Allie Malloy Becomes the Bride of Mr. Les lie Lamont Shaw. Vportcil for The Robesonian. A wedding of unusual splendor was that of Miss Allie Malloy and Mr. Leslie Lamont Shaw, which was solemnized Wednes day evening (April 27th) at the beautiful country place of the bride's parents, Capt. and Mrs. J. D. Malloy, of Lumber Bridge. The home was a bower of beauty. In the reception hall, sracelul vines and rare white flowers (carryiny out the color scheme of white and green) formed garlands, which termi nated in the center of the hall, where was hung a white wed ding bell. In the parlor the color-scheme was wisteria and white; the soft mellow light of the candles, the graceful bloom of the wisteria blending with the white, formed a setting fit for just such an oc casion. As the stirring notes of Lo hengrin's wedding march, skill fully rendered by Misses Caro line McNeill, at the piano, ac companied bv Margaret McNeill with the violin, sounded forth; the bride, leaning on the arm of her sister, Mrs. Anniebelle Malloy Smith, entered from the hall-way, passed through the side arch under which was hung a floral "M." At the same time the groom, with his brothei, Mr. T.M. Shaw, of Fayetteville, entering from a side enterance, met the bride at the altar, where in a very im pressive maner, the marriage vows were spoken, Rev. A. W. Shaw, pastor of the Presbyterian church, of Pittsboro, officiating. The soft music changed to the joyful notes of Mendelsohn's wedding march and the bride and groom passing out into the reception hall, through the cen tral arch, above which hung a floral "S", pausing at the door only long enough for the bride to throw away her bouquet. The bride is one ef Lumber Bridge's most attractive young ladies and was lovely indeed in her handsome wedding robe of white messaline satin; the lace at her bosom wras held in place by a crescent of diamonds and pearls, a gift of the groom. Her beautiful veil was prettily draped and was adjusted with a wreath of lilies of the valley and she carried a shower bouquet of the same flowers. The maid of hon or was attired in wistaria messa line and carried a bouquet of white flowers. The groom is a son of the late Hon. A. L. Shaw and is a promi nent business man of Lumber Bridere and has many friends throughout this part of the State Immediately atter the ceremony elegant refreshments were serv ed; and amid the congratulations and well wishes of hosts of friends the happy couple left for an ex tended southern tour. The nu merous and handsome presents attest the popularity of this icouple. Mr. and Mrs. Shaw will make their future home at Lum ber Bridge. r' t Money for Monument. To Editor Robesonian.'

Antioch April 27-The academy has closed, and this ancient city (where the disciples were first- called christians) misses the presence of the school children. The various members of the fa culty are spending several days visiting Iriends here and at Red Springs before returning to their respective homes. The latest addition at Antioch is a novel insurance office. Mr. Jno. McDuffy, of Fayetteville, and Berry Page, of Lumberton, with a crew of agents, are tenting" at Hodger's pond, and are fishing not only for fish but men. They report good suc cess both ways. Messrs. K, M. Barnes and R. Flowers, of Barnesville, are spending a few days in the city guests ot Mr. J. A. Brown. -Mr. J. R. Walters and sister, Miss Loula, spent a few days last week visiting relatives and friends at John's Station. Rev.Mr.Gaston.of Norfolk. Va. filled the pulpit at the Presbv- terian church here Sunday. This church has been vacant since the removal oi ivir. waiKer to .Barium Springs. The people were very much pleased w7ith Mr. Gaston and trust they can secure him as their paste. Mr. J. A. Hodgin Antioch' Mayor has moved into the old Hodgin house on Main street, wrhich house has been vacant since the death of his mother. This leaves Mr. Hodgin's house on "Water street" vacant; but their is such a demand for houses here it wont be vacant long. That the demand is greater than the supply si evidenced by the fact that some of Antioch's lastest ad ditions are temporarely residing in tents. Mrs. D.H. McNeill and Miss Sadie McMcNeili were Red Springs visitors Tuesday Mrs. J. A. Brown and J. A. Jr., spent Wednesday at Raeford, "the Capitol of Hoke." Mr. S. P. Smith returned Tues day from a f ewT days visit to Wil mington. Mr. E. D. Gaitly and Miss Myrtle Walter were visitors at "The Queen City" ot Maxton Saturday. The greatest need at Antioch now is better hotel facilities. We learn, however, that this long felt want will soon be supplied. "The Central Hotel," located on "Hill Avenue," has changed hands and is now used as a dwell ing. We hope to meet many of "The Macks"Shaws and other "Scots, " of Lumberton at Red Springs on May 18th. This promises to mark a very important epoch in the history of this noble people. We trust all may take "Snyder's" suggestion and make this a great dav. Rambler. Robeson's the Best. By Prof. J. B. Carlyle. The Old North State's a goodly land, That spreads from mount to sea. With soils to suit all products grown, And fruits in measure free; With rivers deep and forests rich Of minerals rare possessed But of her sections counted all Old Robeson's the best. Let Buncombe boast her noble past With mountain grandeur crowned, Let Mecklenburg assert her cjaims With reasoning profound: j Let Guilford count her folks three times To reach the census test, While Wake wakes up and joins the band, But Robeson's the best. In war her sons are in the van, In peace they save the State; Whenever duty calls they go Prepared for any fate. No boastful spirit marks their course, Deception they detest; They work their tasks from day to day, And Robeson is best. Her fertile soil and sturdy sons, Her daughters brave and fair, Her wrater pure and climate fine Combine in measure rare, To lift her proudly over all Her sisters East and West. " And may she ever stay as now The largest and the best. which enabled each one to find 5 ; his or her pardner for the contest. j which followed later on in the ; evening The contest was en I i tilled "10 Tens," which corres- I ponded nicely with the X-X Club, which is composed of ten girls from the tenth grade; there was also ten questions with the an swer to each one ending in a ten.
