On Thursday evening, June 26, the marriage of Miss Mimie Eliz abeth Cox to Mr. Herbert Jen kins was solemnized at the Bap tist church at Winterville. The church had been made beautiful for the happy event by loving friends, the decorations being archee.palmB and long-leaf pines, ferns and wedding bells. Potted plants were banked at the back of the altar to form an arch, while the doors leading from the ladies' parlor and vestry room bad been'arched with cape jes samine. At the end of the aisles were arches wrapped in white maline, above them being rows of candles, and suspended from either arch were the letters C ' and J," the initials of the bride and groom, these letters , bejng formed of white sweelfpeas? While the friends were gath ering. Miss Vivian Roberson of Robersonville, who presided at the organ, rendered many beau tiful selections, among these be ing The Melody of Love, Schu bert's Serenade and Flower Song. She was accompanied by Mr. C. W. Mitchell Jr., of Aulander on the violin. JuBt before the bridal party entered Miss Pattie Dow- ell - of Williams ton sang very beautifully "Because I Lore You": and as the well known strains of Mendelssohn's wed ding march pealed forth, the party entered in the following order: First came the ushers. Dr. F. H. Garriss of Aulander, Messrs. T. B. Kemp of Wakefield, Lloyd Parker of Woodland and John R. Carroll of Winterville, attired in the conventional evening suit of black, with boutonnieres of lilies of the valley.

Henderson, of New Bern, siBter of the groom, then proceeded down the aisles and stood in front of the altar. Then came the maid of honor, Miss Dora Cox, sister of the bride, who took her place at the altar, followed by little Elsie Cox, the ring-bearer, carrying the ring on a silver waiter. Then entered the bride leaning on the arm of her father, beauti f ul in her wedding gown of white duchess satin "en traine," with over dress of real lace, bridal veil and orange blossoms, her bouquet being of bride's roses and lilies of tha valley. She was met at the altar by the groom, who en tered from the vestry with bis brother, Prof, Chaa.

W.Blanch ard of Kihston pronouncing . the -words that made the twain one Mr. Mitchell played "Traumeri" softly during the ceremony, then ai the organ pealed forth. Lohon grin's chorus the party ratired in similar order.;:, c "i the bridesmaids wore lingerie dresses over the rainbow colors and carried shower bouquets of we'QtpeasThe damc3 bffcoiior wore their' wedding dresseB of white satin and carried white carnations. The rcaid of honor wore yellow Batin with a touch of pink and carried pink roses. The bride is a daughter of Mr. A. G. Cox of Winterville, gradu ate of Meredith College, a suc cessful teacher in high school work, a woman of splendid ac complishments, great personal beauty and noble character, loved and admired for her many kind ly and helpful deeds wherever she has gone She will be great ly missed in the community from which she goes, where she his been a leader in the social, reli gious and educational life.- The groom is a young man of sterling worth, eminently suc cessful in. the business world, secretary-treasurer of -the Au lander Live Stock Supply Com pany, a graduate of Wake For est College, prominently identi fied with the educational, agri cultural and church life of his community. The popularity of these young people was attested by the many handsome gifts which they re ceived,' among these being a check for a thousand dollars from the father of the bride and a chest of silver and cut glass from the groom's family. Immediately after the wedding an informal reception was held at the home of the bride's par ents. Many guests called to ex tend congratulations to the happy pair. They left on automobile for Greenville' where 'they took the midnight train foe Niagara, Canada, New York and Atlantic City, followed by the loving good wishes of a host of friends.. The bride's go-away gown was of blue eponge cloth with hat and gloves to match, Watcb the First Monday In July. The first Monday in July will be a fateful day for many a North Carolina county. On that day, Mr. Tarheel Farmer, your County Superintendent of Healtn, your County Superintendent of Schools and and your district school com mitteemen are to be appointed, It is unnecessary to remind you that what progress your county will make these next two years will be largely determined by the character of these appoint ments. In each case all political and personal considerations should be barred, iitnd men and women named solely by reason of their efficiency. We say "men and women" be cause, be it remembered, . the new North Carolina law makes it pos sible to put women on school committees as it is certainly fit ting when we recall that the BchoolB exist for . children, and the mothers are always the ones most interested in children's welfare. Pick out the woman in your district who will take the most interest and do most good on the . committee, and demand her appointment. ' . And be sure to see that your county joins the progressive list which employs a county health officer and a county school sup erintendent esch for his entire time, f A county which employs a sheriff and a clerk of the court for their full time to look after courts . and criminals but is not concerned if the public health and public education are only an afterthought, with two poorly equipped, worn-out, or incompe tent men such , , county surely belongs in the backward or dead-and-dying : class, The Progres sive Farmer. . $ ' .

Nor- fleet White had died suddenly at his home near here about four o'clock that morning. Mr. White was in town Wednesday and seemed as well as usual. His health had been wretched for a long time, but he would not give up. He worked but was not able to do so. Mr, White was a good, quiet citizen, a fond husband and father and kind . neighbor. He will be sadly missed from the circle in which he had moved for so many years, especially so, by the heart broken widow, who had been his helpmeet, in every sense of the word, for thirty-one years. He leaves to mourn their loss, a widow, :flve children,, brothers. sisters, and: other relatives and friends- He, was buried Satur day, afternoon from his home in the midst of a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends, We left him in the family burr ing ground, beneath-: a mound of beautiful flowers . to await the Nsurrectiott morn.

A Great Service to This and Future Generatlons-Tbe Robin and Lark safe. Washington Pott. The regulations for the protec tion of Migratory birds, just is sued by the Department of Ag riculture will prove a great ser vice to this and future genera tions of the inhabitants of the United States, if they are strictly enforced. It is a great step in preserving bird life to give the migratory birds a safe and free line of flight up the Mississippi valley from New Orleans to Minneapolis and extending it from Pittsburgh, on the Ohio, to Bismarck, N. Dak., on the upper Missouri,' as these regulations now provide. InsectiverouB birds, the robin, 1 lark, and several others, are made safe in all States, and night shooting is entirely prohibited, The national protection upon a comprehensive scale comes late, but every lover of the feathered tribes, every one who has the joy of nature in his heart will re- joice at tne saieguaras now thrown around the useful, beau tiful, and harmless birds of the United States. Efforts should be made through oirthe West Indian Islands, in Canada, in Mexico, and thevari- ous republics or uentrai . ana South ' America, so as to extend the protection to the birds from the Arctic to the Antarctic. ,., It was a striking coincidence that upon the very day these regulations were made public, , the news came that a colony of about 200 passenger pigeons had been discovered nesting in the woods of Edgewood, a suburb of (Pittsburgh. If this news is confirmed, it will give the government an op portunity to preserve this species, of which it was thought for years but a single survivor exist ed. Thirtv years ago millions of these pigeons could have been found in flight or nesting in the forests of the republic. Thirty years ago millions of wild water fowl were to be found on the Indian Kiver and other streams, as well as upon the hkes of Florida, while thousands of the roseate spoonbills would rise on the approach of a canoe, taking flight in the form of a magnificent cloud of rose-tinted white. TheBe regulations, if enforced in all the States, will, in a -few years, renew the bird life of the nation until the numbers known to the pioneers ' can be approxi mated. The Post hopes that the District authorities and those of the States of Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland will so cordially and actively cooperate in the protec tion of the birds that every lawn, bush, tree, and clump of woods will be a safe harbor for the birds of this latitude. ,', The collections in Rock Creek park should comprise a complete representation of not only the birds of our own country, but of . thosetof the entire world. : H , The people of the . United States desire that the Capital si , the country be made the very first of all capitals in everything that mskes for progress, and the book , of nature, intelligently opened and its lessons mastered, is a library of knowledge to the public, the' greatest possible aid to advancement .in. ajl lines of thought and work.' , V ' Subscribe to the Taws,; I I: v.
