MARRIAGE OF POPULAR COUPLE
Miss Nettie Johnson and Mr. Lee Har
mon Wed at Asbury Church.
Sanford, Rt. 4. .Tune 14.—A mar
• riage of interest to friends throughout
the entire section, both in Lee and
Chatham counties, took place in As
bury Methodist church on Wednesday
night, June 11th, 1924, at 8 o’clock,
when Miss Nettie Johnson became the
bride of Mr. Lee Harmon, and was
witnessed by a large company of
friends ana relatives.
The church was beautifully decor
ated in its simplicity with cedar and
daisies, making a background of the
cedars. A pretty arch of cedar and
daisies were improvised in front of
the chancel where the bride and
bridegroom stood. The white candles
■ were used around the chancel and in
the pulpit with artistic effect, their
radiance lending beauty to the nuptial
: scene.
The ushers were Messrs W. R.
Johnson and J. W. Johnson, a broth
-1 er and brother-in-law of the bride.
Mrs. W. W. Stedman, sister of the
bridegroom, presided at the organ.
She first rendered a melody in F.
- Then Miss Grace Burke, of Goldston,
[ sweetly sang, “Oh, Promise Me.” The
1 organist rendered the wedding march
from Lohengrin as a signal for the
! entrance of the bridal party. Rev. J.
' J. Boone, pastor of the bridegroom,
1 stood at the chancel and performed
1 the ceremony. Then entered Miss Mar
garet Johnson, sister of the bride,
1 who was maid of honor. The next
; bridesmaid was Miss Ola Harmon, sis
-1 ter of the bridegroom, entering while
■ carrying a bouquet of sweet peas
and fern. Next came the dame of hon
or, Mrs. Curtis Crissman, of Balti
more, carrying a bouquet of sweet
peas. Then came Virginia Johnson,
niece of the bride, carrying the ring
i on a daisy. The flower girl was little
Ruth Crissman, who strewed pink,
! sweet peas in front of the bride.
The bride entered on the arm of her
brother, Marsh Johnson. The best man
: was J. Obie Harmon, cousin of the
bridegroom, who graduated at the
University last June. Never was the
bride more beautiful than when she
stood to plight her troth to the man
of her choice. Her gown was white
satin crepe, the becoming veil being
caught with a coronet of orange blos
soms. Her bouquet was of Brides’
roses and fern tied with ribbon and
chiffon. The impressive ring ceremony
was used to unite their lives, while
the strains of “Traumerei” was softly
played on the organ. After prayer,
this music merged into the joyous
notes of Mendelssohn’s recessional as
the bridal party retired to the bride's
home, where the bride laid aside her
bridal attire for'a becoming traveling
suit and the pair motored to Raleigh
[ where they took the train for a trip
r to Washington, D. C.
Mrs. Harmon is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. William Johrison and is
: a graduate of Littleton Female Col
lege and has been a successful teach
, er in Chatham county. For the past
; three years she has taught in Gold
ston high school. She is a leader in
the activities of her church, taking
part in every capacity in which the
1 ladies operate. She has been very ac
, tive in the Sunday school and was the
president of the Epworth League..
; She possesses many traits of charac
ter that draws the love and admira
tio,n of all her acquaintances. Miss
Nettie will make Mr. Harmon a good
j wife.
Mr. Harmon is the son of Mrs. J. C.
Harmon, of near Pittsboro. He is a
successful farmer and business man.
His fidelity to his friends and close
application to business and his true,
religious life, honesty and integrity
have grounded him in the admiration
of scores of people. Mr. Harmon is
also very active in church work and
is at present superintendent of the
Sunday school at Mt. Zion Methodist
church, two miles east of Pittsboro.
Lee will make a splendid husband.
Mr. Harmon has recently completed
a bungalow on the Moncure highway,
on a plantation adjoining that of his
mothr, and will occupy it as soon as
they have returned from their honey
moon.

ERROR IN RETURNS.
• Last week we made an error in our
table of primary returns, due to the
fact that we received them wrong or
transcribed them wrong after we had
received them.
The total vote for C. B. Fitts at
Gulf was 27 votes, whereas we had
it as 77 and the total vote for Mr.
Fitts at Oakland was 66 votes and
we had it as 166. Thus the grand total
for Mr. Fitts was given as 1,637, and
this is correct. Our attention has been
called to the errors in the precinct
totals and we correct them for the in
formation of our army of readers
who will probably keep that table as
a reference.

MR. ELMER LONgT NOMINATED.
Mr. Elmer Long, -of Durham, won
the nomination for lieutenant govern
or of North Carolina over Tam Bowie
and R. R. Reynolds by nerr 21000
majority. Mr. Long and Mr. Reynolds
would have been in a second primary,
but the three candidates made an
agreement before the primary was
held that the highest man would have
the nomination.
Mr. Long’s vote proves his popu
larity over the state and had a sec
ond primary been held, he would have
no doubt gotten the nomination any
way.
Mr. Long is an able attorney and
his fitness as a legislator well qual
ifies him for the office he seeks.
While the Record in the primary
supported Mr. Reynolds, we appre
ciate the ability of Mr. Long and he
will meet the requirements of the
democratic party.
