Last night there was a very
large assemblage at the Metho
dist church to witness the mar
riage of Mr. W ill S. Duhton to
Miss Lennie Rogers ; in fact,
the house was crowded and there
was scarcely standing room.
Promptly at th. hour named,
?s Mrs E. G. Thompson put
her fingers to the organ and be
gan to rill the house with the
rich tone of the instrument as it
poured forth the inspiring
strains o' .he wedding march,
the r ...s, Messrs. J. Scott, C.
11. Balfour, W. J. Trafton, Mar
shall Gallop, marched down the
aisle and took their positions at
the altar. Following these came
the brides maide, Miss Minnie
Sawyer upon the arm of the
bride's brqther, Mr. George
Rogers, who acted as best man.
Then came the bride and
groom, and as soon as they reach
ed the alter that had been beauti
fully decorated in evergreens,
potted plants, flowers, ecc, Rev.
J. H. Hall stepped forwatd and
proceeded to complete the union
they desired, which he did in an
impressive and unusually happy
manner.
The bride, who is the charm
ing daughter of Mr. and Mis.
J. S. Rogers and quite popular,
wore a beautiful suit of white
silk with Liberty silk triin
1 t
tilings, carrying in ner nana a
handsome bouquet of flowers.
The brides-maid, Miss Saw
yer was dressed in a handsome
costume of white organdy, trim
med in white silk, bunch of
flowers in hand-
The gentlemen were all in
full dress,
The groom is
book-keeper in the hardware
store of Sharber & White ar.d
held in the very highest repute
by all who know him.
Aftet the ' ccrcuiuny. the br
dal party proceeded to the spien
did residence of Mr.- Clarence
Gallop, on Road street, to enjoy
a reception and feast which
ucue know better than the
graceful hostess, Mrs. Gallop,
how to prepare.
Mr. and Mrs. Dunton, were
of Christ Church, Mr. Edwin
Travers and Mr. Dean Raymond,
assisted by the following named
ladies and gentlemen : Mrs. M.
R. Griffin, Miss Nannie Allen,
?vliss Bertie Kramer, Miss Emily
Hellowell, Dr. E. F. Martin, Mr.
P. N Sanderson aud Mr. Cam.
den W. Melick, will give a per
formance of "A Jolly Night," a
musical comedy that Mr. Trav
ers and his company have been
playing this present season in
Uie best theatres in the large
cities.
Preceding the comedy Mr.
Travers and Mr. Raymond will
appear in a charming little one
act play called "Forget me uots"
There is no doubt that, taken as
a whole, this will prove a most f day only. If A Circus were in
pleasing entertainment, com
posed as it is of comedy, pathos
and music.
Mr. Travers' record of sixteen
years as a star and manager
throughout the United States is
a sufficient gtiaiautee that this
production will be high class in
every particular. And those
who attend this performance
may feel fully assured of a most
enjoyable evening.

tion has been circulated By ihe
owner oi the draw bridge over:
Kuobs Creek at Blades mill, ask
ing the countv to take the same
off his hinds, aud put it upon
the people of this county to keep
up. l he bridge was built about
j eigMeeu years ago by Mr. E.
I Lamb, the owner of the Fer
ry Road, and the merchants and
the County cf Pasquotank, we
are leliably informed subscribed
to assist Mr. "Lamb to bund the
same, and it appears that some
time ago Mr. Umb brought a
suit in the Court here to compel
the County of Pasquotank to
take charge of this bridge and
keep it at the Public expense.
In this he was defeated.
Now he tries to shift the bur.
den ol this bridge upon the peo
pie by getting a petition signed
to that effect, aud the same to
be presented to the Board of
County Commissioners of this
county al its next meeting. The
only users of this bridge, and the

on ly persons wno cross ana use
the same are the patrons of life
ferry aud who pay him for the
privilege. There is not a per
son living upon the road after
you cross the bridge eointr to
his ferry and over his own road.
Why the people of this county
should be asked to keep up an
expensive bridge for the benefit
of a toll road is beyond our com
orehension. The bridge is"tiow

Hurrah for our boys! Wed
nesday Captain Old, of the Eliza
beth City division of Naval Re
serves, received an important
telegraphic message, and hur
ridly called his company to-
gether by tapping the city bell.
The boys assembled promptly,
and amid wild cheers aud much
enthusiasm they voted to vol
unteer their services to the gov
ern ment. When it appears that
only five members of the
Reserves refused to voluns
teer for service in Cuba, we are
all the more proud. One 01
these men was over the age
1 m it and had to be rejected, and
it is probable that some of the
others had good excuses. Five
men in a Division is an except
tionally small per cent., and we
propose a hearty cheer for the
men who will protect our coun
try and our honor. There is
not a better nor a braver com
pany of soldier boys bound for
the war. Ours was the first
Division to offer its services.
