ROAD IMPROVEMENT TRAIN AW AK ENED INTEREST IN MANY STATE. Washington. November 25, - That the gcod roads movement was given most effectual impetus by the Southern Railway's t m i t i- rv xvoau liiipruveiuem, 41 am which made a sweeping tour through Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, North Carolina, Vir ginia, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida between May 1 and October 27, is indicated in figures summarizing results of the cam paign just made public. In the period of six months during which time from one to three demon strations were given daily, the experts accompanying the train instructed nearly 50,000 people in the art of building good roads and keeping them in repair. The train trveled a distance of nearly 13, 500 miles, stopping at 250 towns which were located in 201 counties. The attendance at the various meetings ranged from a little less than 100 to over 1,500. The method used in showing the people the advantages of good roads not only af forded an oppor tunity for them to secure h prac tical education on the subject of highway construction but was so unique as to form a source of real entertainment for those not di rectly interested in the moement. The train consisted of three coach es, two of which were specially fitted up for demonstration. One contained working models of good roads showing the various mat erials used in construction, mina ture road machinery shown in actual operation, and enlarged photographs showing every phase of the good roads problem. The other car was equipped with a stereopticon and illustrated lec tures were conducted by the gov ernment representees, showing j in a very stricking manner the at vantages of good oad.s over b id. In some of the counties visited I the interest aroused by the train was such that the people went actively to work improving their roads, voting for bond issues and employing engineers t b give skilled supervision. A representa tive of the American Association for Highway Imprevement ac companied the train for a portion of the trip and efficient work was done in organizing branches of association in many of the counties. The Sonthern Railway handled the train without charge to the government or the people in the belief that greater prosperity will result from the construction of imprved roads in t h e South. Without a single exception the work of the "Road Improvement Train" was most heartily approv ed and in every town there were heard unqualified expressions of the value of the work and public spirit shown by the Southern Railway in bearing the expense. Congress is again in session, but our country has gotten so it can stand almost anything. THOMAS KERR One of the prettiet church wedding that was ever witnessed in Ramseur was the marriage of Miss Sallie Thomas of Ramseur to Mr. Jas. Kerr of Lumberton in the M. E. Church on Wednes day Nov. 29, at 11 o'clock: At the appointed hour the four ushers, Messrs E. C. Watkins, C. B. Smith, A. H. Thomas and N. F. Marsh marched up the aisles and stood on either side of the chancel with the happy couple in the center. Rev. O. P. Ader, the bride's pastor, arose within the chancel and in the impressive ritual of the M. E. Church spoke the sacred words that united the hearst and destimies of the happy couple. The wedding music was most sweetly rendered by Miss Lizzie Smith of Greensboro. The church was very tastefully and charmingly decorated with ferns and chryasntheumans. The bride carried a lovely broquet of bride's roses and ferms. She was most becomingly attired in a tan traveling costume with hat and gloves to match and, never looked sweeter and lovelier in her life. The groom was dressed in black and looked very handsome and diginified. After the ceremony the bridal party drove to Liberty where they took the Southern for Lumberton, the home of the bridegroom. The bride is one of Ramseurs fairest and most popular vouner ladies and carries with her to her new home the best wishes of a large circle of friends. The groom is a well known and popu lar druggist of Lumberton. He is a son of the late Dr. Charlie Kerr of Sampson County and a grandson of the late Rev. Colin Shaw a pioneer Presbyterian preacher of Eastern Carolina. Among the out of town visitors to the wedding were Miss Anna belle Kerr, sister of the groom and Misses Minnie Thomas of Durham. Evie and Dessie Gross of Burlington, cousins of the bride. May much and lasting hap piness ever and always attend them. 0 Map of Randolph &z Cumberland Railway And its Proposed Extensions. i ' V y sKmt7i y v. .j ai i y " -I iuH" 1 rV CMttrrr rrtm,.MCTi-mt ctue - "A A I m .

ONE DOLLAR A YEAR Bad Fire at Staley The quietness of the town of St aU y was shattered by the alarm of fire Monday night, and when the hungry flames had finished their work two stores were found to have been consumed. When the fire was discovered at 12:30 in Joe Hicks store, the roof around the stove flue was falling in. Nothing was saved from this store and the flames quiekly ignited the store of A. W. HoHi day, across the street. The post office had only this month een moved into this building. The postof f ice safe and a few fixures were saved, but very little of Jthe store stock was gotten out before this building too was destroyed. Other buildings caught fire, but the efficient work of the people whom the fire had assembled prevented any furthur loss. The stock of Joe Hicks was in sured for $700, and its value was estimated at ,$1,500. The store building was owned by T P. Barker. The stock of A. W. Holtiday was insured for $1,500, and val ued at $3,500. The building was owued by J. W. Cox, and on this was $500 insurance. Siler City Grit. Died Suddenly "acute Indigestion the Cause."
