AN UNUSUAL ENTERTAINMENT. Correspondence of ' The Robesonian. Red Springs, April 10. A wedding rt mnh intpraof hna hppn announced --" v -" ; to take Placa next Friday evening,! the 16th. in the college auditorium. No ordinary marriage is this: on the contrary, so extraordinary mat you cannot afford to miss the least part of it. The women used to think they had the center of the stage at such af fairs, but they have something yet to learn nary a lady graces this fes tal occasion, though there will be skirts in the majority, as usual. An admission price will add to the unusualness of things, but it's mon ey well spent as you will agree after seeing such charming and graceful maids as Jim McPhall and L. M. Cook. And what a darling little flower girl W. J. Council will be, to be sure! The bride we leave you to guess. Come and see, Friday 16th, 8:30, col lege auditorium.
