Johnson Pierce Tuesday after noon at 2:15 o'clock, p. M., the Methodist church was the scene of a brilliaut event, it being the marriage of Mr. Lee Johnson to Miss Mary V., daughter of our towns man Dr. A. B. Pierce, by the Rev. J. A. Lee, pastor, all of this place. The church was beautifully decorated with flowers and evergreens, over each aisle near the chancel being an arch and a gate aud in front of the pulpit a larger arch and a marriage boll. Sometime be fore the appointed hour the church began to fill with a congregation greatly inter ested in the contracting parties. The church had been darkened and the lamp light made the whole scene still more attractive. At the hour appointed Mrs. W. T. Shaw took her place at the organ which filled thechurcli with its melodious siruios, the doors opeued and Messrs. W. T. Shaw and John U. Lue entered and opened the pot tills. Followiug these, one in each aisle, were the ushers Messrs. A. S. Allen and E. G. Cheatham. Through oue door entered the groom with his best man Mr. 0. W. Pierce and through the other the bride with her maid of honor Miss Willie Norwood, of Warrcntoo. While the minister was impressively reading the service the soft tcs of the organ in selections from Faust floated through the building, After the ceremony tho bridal party left the church to the strains of "Marriage Bells," from Olivette, and went direct to the station where the bride and groom took the train for Suf folk, the former home of the groom where they will remain a while. 1 hey have the good wishes and con gratulations of a host of friends in this community.

Halifax One Hundred Years Ago It is interesting to read about old times and to see how our ancestors lived. The history of the ancient town of Hali fax is full of incidents which show what a fashionable aud wealthy place it was in days of yore. From Mclt.ie's Life of Iredell we learn that "Mr. Thomas Ire. dell vUited Halifax in July or August, 1790. A letter from him gives a very characteristic account of that gay aod opulent Borough. "The divine Miss Polly Long" had just been married to Mr. Bassett Stith," a Virginia beau." The nuptials were celebrated by twenty- two consecutive dinner parties in as many different houses, the dinners being regu larly succeeded by dances, tnd all terml nating with a general ball. Miss Wallace an heiress, Miss Pasteur and Miss Lucas were the belles of the occasion.
