A special musical programme was ren dered in a most pleasing manner. Mr. Watson spoke of his coming here to take up his work as pastor of the church. "Five years ago this morning I came here," said the speaker. "I was a stranger to you and you were strangers to me, , hut by being with you I thank God for my surroundings.

A sim ple and impressive marriage was sol emnized at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Conrad, Wednesday even ing at 8 o'clock, the contracting par ties being Miss Lillie Hedrick, a charming young lady, and Mr. Oscar Petrea, a model young gentleman. The parlor was festooned with elab orate decorations of the choicest flowers. The sweet strains of the favorite Mendelssohn wedding warch, ployed by Miss Josephine Harkey, tell softly upon the- ear as the strik ing couple appeared. Little Harry Ragsdale, aged three, was so charmed that he met them at the door and insisted upon holding t tie groom's hand during the cere mony, and not until mueh coaxing from his mother could he be induced to leave them. The bride wore a gown of cream nessaline and carried a bunch of bride's roses. The only .ornament that bedecked her dark hair was a string of pearls, and when her voice arose in answer to the vow she Was indeed a vision of beauty. Rev. V. Y. Boozer read the beau tiful Lutheran ceremony that united the happy couple, pronounced them huband and wife. At the close of Vie ceremony the bridal party re ceived the hearty congratulations of ue:r.many Iriends. Aiterwards tne guests were ushered into the dining rm, where elegant refreshments vsere served. Mr. and Mrs. Petrea were the re clients of 'lovely rifts. Thev left Thursday morning for the home of 'us lather, Mr. William Petrea, of 1 . John s, Cabarrus county, where iiioy will spend a few days, and will, iti the future, make their home in Loxir.cton.

His message was a forceful and vigorous appeal for men to have the courage to proclaim the true gospel of Christ, regardless of what the results, de claring that we are all preachers of the gospel. Mr. Watson expressed great pity for the man who was afraid to preach the whole gospel in its true sense. He pictured Paul, ac tuated by a high and noble impulse, preaching the gospel of Christ fear lessly and without regard for the op position it aroused. In contrast to this he pointed out the minister who preaches to fashionable pew holders on sensational topics and otherwise ac commodates his service to catch the whims and fancies of his hearers when he should be preaching the true and undefiled gospel of Christ. "Social ethics are such today that men don't want true religion. They don't want a religion that reaches down and rectifies the every day wrongs. They rebel at the -gospel that points at them and says 'thou are the man.' " Speaking of the opposition that arose against men who 'stand true to the great tenets of Christianity, Mr. Watson declared : ' You have notic ed here how the man who stand up and denounce the rottenness the wickedness' and the graft in this city are abused and villified." Expressing the hope that he would never know ingly fail to uphold righteousness and attack unrigheousness the speak er declared that what was needed was "more men like " Paul." "Now, my friends, as we labor let us remember that we must work for God's inter est by the pure, undefiled gospel of God and may we all be strong soldiers in His Kingdom." In the evening at 8 o'clock Mr. B. C. Ashcraft, editor of the Monroe Enquirer, delivered an nddresa. The subject of Mtf. Ashcraft 's address was: "Your lother." Every word of Mr. Ashcraft 's message breathed a tribute to the mothers of men and it was a great and compelling plea for sons, and daughters to live their ives so that they would be a proper ribute of appreciation for the love, he sacrifice and the heroism of .every mother; Mr. Ashcraft is a most en tertaining speaker. He delivered his message in a clear cut, .well defined manner and his effort last night re ceived the undivided attention of his hearers -throughout. In speaking of a mother's love for her child,-Mr. Ashcraft pictured the jeonsternation and fear that over came Mary when she was told that the king had commissioned every of ficer with a warrant for the life of her child. "How she left her home, he means of livelihootl and went forth into an alien land represents a mother's love for you," declared "the speaker. You can't calm a mother at night who fears that all is not well with he son. You might as well tell a reed to bend not against the wind. The speaker plead that every young man who could not stand up and tell his mother where he spent his even ings to change his life that he might be able to do so. "Our' mothers have done so much and are still ready to do so mu is not the duty clear that we should make their journey down the shadowy pathway as pleas ant as possible. The age in which we live makes great demands upon us. But I say the mother, who. went to the very gates of death tor us, makes greater demands upon us.' Speaking of children's attitude to ward their mothers, Mr. Ashcraft de clared "that the most detestable, the meanest person he knew was the boy or girl who wilfully spoke harshly and unkindly to their mother. Equal ly caustic in his denunciation was he .1 1 ing to tne ponce me nooiing was precipitated by strike pickets at tempting to forcibly prevent a 'wo man from going to work. j MR. FOIL PRESENTS CLAIM FOR $1,085.00 coming Against the Board of Light and Wa ter Commissioners for Construction Work. Says He Was Forced to Give Up His Work on Account of City Engineer Smith Being Put in Charge. Contractor W. A. Foil served no tice on the Board of Light and Water Commissioners Friday night for a claim of $1,085.00, the amount he al leges is due him for construction, work in, building the new plant. Mr. Foil had the contract for exca vating the reservoir and laying the pipe line and he alleges that he was forced to give up his contract oh ac count of City Engineer Smith . being placed in charge of the work and forc ing him out. If the case comes to trial the indications are that it will be the most interesting civil suit aired in the courts here for some time. Sen ator L. T. Hartsell represents Mr. Foil and Mr. J. L. Crowell the water board. In Honor of Miss Beulah Query. Mrs. J. 1. Harris and Mrs. A. M. Faggart entertained a number of friends Friday afternoon at a tin shower at the home of Mrs. Harris on Spring street in honor of Miss Beulah Query, who will become the bride of 4Mr. Scott Frieze June 12.

Hollar, which is to take place this week in Licking county cir cuit court.

Report of Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin. New York June 2. The condition of cotton on an average date of May 23-24, according to 1,977 replies of special correspondents of The Jour nal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin was 76.9 per cent, compared with 83.8 per cent, a year ago at this time, 80.2 in 1910, 82.1 in 1909, 79 in 1908 and 69 in 1907. J This is 6.9 points below last year, which was the highest condition for June in 19 years, and 7.9 points bet ter than in 1907, when similar condi tions existed as now, only in exag gerated form. Owing to the exceptional lateness of planting it has been impossible to secure satisfactory returns on acre age with this report and the final es timate is therefore deferred until the middle of the month.
