Mrs. Grigg was greatly beloved by all who knew her, and while her death was not unexpected it caused much sorrow in the home where all of her children were as sembled when the end came, To the bereaved family the Roanoke News extends its sympathies. Fleming-Williams. This pa per goes to press too early to give particulars of the wedding of Miss Louise Williams, of this town, to Mr. Allie W. Fleming, of Wilson, yet at the hour of going to press, Wednesday, everything was in readiness for a beautiful home wedding, the ceremony to lake place at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Mollie M. Williams, Rev. J. A. Hornaday, of the M. i E. Church, officiating. The bride is one ot eiuon s most gracious , : auu uioatnve young lauics, ana ! the large number of handsome and ; cosily gifis, which have been com- ing in by every mail and express, j attest in a measure the love in i which she is held. ' Immediately after the ceremony i Mr. and Mrs. Fleming will leave tor an extended bridal trip north and will be at home to their friends in Wilson, N. C, after January 15th. Rev. L. P. Howard Killed. News reached here Tuesday morn ing of the death of Rev. Leslie P. Howard, pastor of the Memorial church of Durham. He was found dead on a railroad track three miles from Kingston, New York. The body was terribly mangled, and Mr. Howard had been dead for several hours when the body was found. A telegram from the coroner of Kingston says that he was killed by being run over by a West Shore railroad train, which passed that place about 1 1 :40 Sunday night. Mr. Howard had been ill since the latter part of August. He has been in the sanaiarium in Kingston for the past two months, and his friends understood that he was getting along very well. His first charge was in Rocky Mount and while stationed there he visited Weldon and preached here. Sunday Night's Fire. The fire alarm Sunday evening shortly after the congregations had assem bled in the various churches for worship, was on account of a blae discovered in C. E. Chase's room in the Fmry building, over Spiers Bros, store. A quick response prevented a serious conflagration and the damage was mainly on account of water. Spiers Bros. had quite a lot of goods more or less damaged by water, all of which was covered by insurance. Mr. Chase lost about everything in his room on which there was no in surance. The fire is supposed to have originated from an oil stove. Weldon as usual was fortunate in escaping with so slight a damage. The churches were quickly emp tied when the alarm was given, but as soon as the fire was extin guished the congregations returned to their respective houses of wor ship and the services were re sumed as if nothing had occurred. There isn't much hope for the bride who can't learn to sew by the time her hubby's wedding gar ments need patching. Postmaster John O. Burton; It is with genuine regret that the patrons of the Weldon postoftice learn that Postmaster John (). Burton will retire from office early in the New Year.his successor hav ing been named, as staled in an other column. Mr. Burton was appointed post master by President Roosevelt during his first term of oltice, and was re commissioned during his second term. He was next ap pointed by President Taft for his third term, and he made such an acceptable postmaster that he has been allowed to hold over for nearly one year under Democratic rule, nearly thirteen years in of fice, and so very acceptable has he been, regardless of party lines, that quite a number of Democrats did not desire to see any change at all. But Mr. Burton did not claim to be a Democrat, and under the Democratic administration it was politics that a Democrat he appoint ed to succeed him. We are glad to pay this tribute to Mr. Burton. I le has been faithful, obliging, ac curate in his accounts and has given the greatest satisfaction to the gov ernment and to the people. No man in Weldon has more friends than John 0. Burton, and for this reason the powers that be had been somewhat embarrassed as to the appointment of his successor. They felt that party loyalty and politics demanded that a Democrat be placed in office, yet no one de sired to see Postmaster Burton re tired from office. He has been faithful and true to every trust and in his retirement from office he will carry with him the best wishes of the patrons of the Weldon post oflke, who will wish for him many years of health, happiness and prosperity in whatever work he may engage. The Prince oi: Peace. Hundreds of years before the Saviour's appearance Isaiah 9:6, made this wonderful prophecy, which was used by Rev. J. A. Hor naday for a text Sunday morning at the M. E. Chnrch: "For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful.Counsellor. The mighty God, the Everlasting Fath er, the Prince of Peace." When you read this Christmas will be at the door, and how will we celebrate Christmas ? With thankfulness or in deep trouble? Will we be able to place beneath the Christmas tree a gift or two for Qur cmnn M wj. we be in need of the bare necessities of life? Will son gs swell from happy hearts, or will it be hard to sing the hymns of inward joy because of the con trast between this and other Christ mases ? Vi e do not know, but this we do know, that the holy Christmas message remains the same, "Unto us is born this day a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord." And in this we and our children will rejoice even though this year we have no other Christmas joy. The Book Cum. The Boi k Club was entertained at "Chocko yotte," the beautiful country home of Mrs. Edwards, on Tuesday, De cember 15th. In spile ot the ex tremely cold weather most of the members were present. Each member responded to the roll call with a Christmas toast or thought, books were exchanged and, after a business session, the regular pro gram was carried out. Mrs. Fmry opened the program with a talk on "Prehistoric Mexi co." Having traveled in Mexico and being personally acquainted with several noted archaelogists who are excavating ancient rums there Mrs. Emry was able to give the club a most interesting and in structive lecture on the ancient tribes who inhabit Mexico and left there relics of a civilization as high and as old as that of ancient Egypt or India or China. She illustrated her lecture with samples of stone from the ruins of temples, pieces of pottery and baskets made by different tribes and pictures of the temples and works of art of these ancient people. At the close of her talk, the club gave Mrs. Entry a rising vote of thanks. Mrs. Scott followed with a read- inj Mexican nines, me, nappy singing children of Mexico, and Mrs. S. B. Pierce read W. E. Car son's account of a "Christmas at Los Reyes." The hostess assisted by Mrs. Scott and Mrs. Reynolds served salad, sandwiches and coftee. Mrs. Reynolds, the mother of the hos tess, was a guest of the club. NOTICE. To Water Consumers of Weldon: Don't let your faucet run cold nights. Shut it off at stop and waste and open faucet.

The Meth odist parsonage at Garysburg was the scene of a pretty wedding Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, when Miss Gametic Crock er, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. L. Crocker, of Seaboard, became the bride of Ned M. Har ris, also of Seaboard. The young couple motored to Garysburg early in the afternoon. Some intimate friends of the bride and her family knew of their plans but to a great number it was a surprise when an nouncement was made that they were married. The ceremony was performed by Rev. M. Y. Self, pastor of the bride. The bride wore a smart traveling suit of blue broadcloth with hat and gloves to match. Her maid of honor and only attendant was Miss Mary Davis, of Seaboard. The bride has frequently visited in Weldon. She is a sister of J. H. Crocker, of this town, is pretty and accomplished and has a large circle of relatives and friends here who extend best wishes for her happiness. Silent Night. Silent night ! Holy night !
