'CRYSTAL WEDDING BELLS,"
fifteenth Anniversary of the Wed
ding Dr. and Mrs. Grissom'
ELEGANT AND TASTEFUL AFFAIR
About Two Hundred Quests Attended
nd the Presents Were - Beautiful
and CostlywThe Decorations.
One of the events of the celebration
of the crystal wedding of Dr. and Mrs.
W. L. Grissom, at their spacious
home, on West market street last
night.
Four hundred invitations had been
issued, 275 to Greensboro people. At
least 2.00 guests were present during
the hours. A number were in attend
ance from a distance, as Dr. and Mrs.
Grissom are well known throughout
the state. -
Those who received with the bride
and groom were Mr. and Mrs. J. A.
Odell, Prof, and Mrs. Dred Peacock,
and Mrs. Swindell, of Raleieh; Mrs.
Allen, Mrs. Captain Walsh and Miss
Cozart received in the hall.
Refreshments were in charge of
Mesdames Small, Trogdon, Propst,
Crawford and Weaver and the re
freshment room was in charge of Mr.
Frank Boyles and Miss Bessie Alford.
The refreshments were elegant and the
service above criticism.
The house was beautifully decorated
throughout. The reception room was
decorated with palms and ferns, the
music room with chrysanthemums and
roses, the parlor with cut flowers
while the dining room . was a perfect
bower of magnificent white and yellow
chrysanthemums arranged in tasteful
designs.
The presents in cut glass made a
magnificent array that it would be im
possible to describe. One room was
given up to them and it was full of
tables and the tables were full of pres
ents. The serviceable and the orna
mental were there in profusion.
The Brockman orchestra supplied
the final requisite for the function, the.
best of music.
Throughout it was one of those af
fairs where nothing has been omitted
that could add to the enjoyment of
guests, and truly "all went merrily as
a marriage bell."
CRYSTAL WEDDING BELLS.
Written for Dr. and Mrs. Grissom on
Their 15th Wedding Anniversary.
. READ BY MISS ALT A COZART.
Clear crystal bells, with merry chime,
Are ringing soft as Runic rhyme
A glad and joyous wedding time.
Now autumn glories crown the wood
And beauty mid the solitude
Is regnant, in delightful mood;
The whispering wind among the trees,
The flowery fragrance on the breeze
Are charming in such days as these;
The sparkle of the midnight blue,
Where stars are marshalling in view;
Flings back the light of diamond dew;
While Dian, in hersilver boat
Through circumambient airs afloat,
Seems bending down to catch the note
Of the singing bells, sweet wedding
bells
Oh! what a story from them wells,
Those heavenly-sounding crystal bells-
A tale of glad and sunny years
Of radiant joys and saddening tears,
Of lights and shadows, hopes and fears.
A decade and a half gone by
And still a fair and beaming sky
Bends cloudless o'er, no sorrow nigh.
May all the coming days and hours
Be bright, with gay and festal flowers,
Eternal blooms, 'mid amaranth bow
ers.
And when the silver wedding bells
Their tale of life and duty tells
Foith still shall say, sweet, wedding
bells.
In twilight years, with bells of gold,
The same dear story shall be told
The song of love, that ne'er grows old.
With best wishes and congratula
tions,
Ex.. D. H.

A Store and Two Passenger Coach-
es Robbed Last Night.
When the clerk at S. G. Hodgin &)
Co.'s, on South Elm, reached the
store this morning to open up for busi
ness he found one of the large plate
glass in the front smashed. Inside
the large show window there was found
a brick and broken I fragments of
glass.- ' f
Investigation revealed the fact that
a heavy pair of Scotch bottom
shoes had been taken from the window,
also one shoe belonging to i a pair fcf
tans. ' There were fresh tracks at the
corner of the builiding, in the soft
dirt, made after last night's rain, just
in the edge of a pile brick bats. The
rascal wa9 evidently standing near the
corner so that he could jump behind
the building when he threw the brick.
The police were notified and are now
working on the case.
Two passenger coaches onthe South
ern, standing near the coal chute, were
also entered last night, and the ax and
saw taken from each. These tools were
secured by smashing the glass front
of the cases in whtch they were kept.
An extra large number of tramps
were reported in the coal chute vicin
ity last night, and it ; may be that a
member of the "profesh" got that pair
of shoes, and took the odd shoe along
for a wooden legged fried. We say
this may be so; but it is hardly a fair
proposition to say that there is even a
possibility of connecting a tramp with
the theft of an axe or a saw.
Election Returns.
The Telegram has ar
ranged to get the New York
Election Returns and they
will be read out at the Ben
bow tonight.
TAMMANY IS FRIGHTENED.
All The Talk About Big Majorities
Pure Bluff.
A member of the Executive Commit
tee of Tammany Hall has written a
letter to a gentleman of this city in
which he says that Tammany men are
by no means certain of today's result.
There is a great deal of talk about
majorities of sixty and seventy thous
and but that is for effect only. He
says Tammany leaders do not expect
to win by more than six or seven
thousand and will be pleased to pull
through by that margin. He adds
that from all indications the only
thing that can save Van Wyck from
defeat will be Tracy votes. Tammany
men hope that when it becomes mani
fest that Tracy can not be elected a
a number of his supporters who are
tired of the reform administration will
vote for Van Wyck on the quiet in or
der to insure the defeat of Seth Low.
This shows that the odds in favor of
the Tammany man cannot be taken as
indicating the relative strength of the
candidates. It is as yet evidently any
body's fight and only tonight's returns
can show who is the victor.

If the Southern Stock-Mutual "pays
no larger dividends than . the 20 per
cent, now paid, and the business in
creases during the next seven years in
the same ratio it has increased during
the last three years, the actual saving
for the ten years to policy-holders in
North and South Carolina will be
$194,822.00, and to the policy-holders
in Greensboro alone, $26,237.00. Be-'
sides this the Company's assets (rein
