MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISES.
Several New Ones to be Located Here.
Their Value to Greensboro.
We have been reliably informed that
several manufacturing concerns have
decided to locate their plants in this
city. This is good news and every
citizen of Greensboro and Guilford
county should rejoice that these men
have selected Greensboro as the place
best suited in which to locate their
several businesses.
Perhaps no other one thing is so
potent in building up and helping a
community as is a manufacturing es
tablishnment. The manufacturing en
terprises of the New England states
have been largely instrumental in in
creasing the wealth of that section
and in making this country known the
world over as a nation of energy,
thrift and enterprise. What has been
done in the north and east can be as
easily, if not more easily, accomp
lished here in the south where labor
is cheaper, cost of living less, access
to the raw material better than they
are in the horth. An authority on
such matters some years ago stated,
after thoroughly investigating the
matter, that one county in North Car
olina alone possessed more available
water power than all the New England
states combined.
Wide open should Greensboro open
her gates and most heartily ought she
to welcome these enterprises. The es
tablishment of these esterprises here
will more widely extend Greensboro's
reputation as an aggressive and pro
gressive city, offer more opportunities
for work to the laboring classes, in
crease the volume of money circulat
ing within her borders, add to her
prestige among her sister cities and be
the means of showing to others her"su
perior advantages as a manufacturing
centre.
The Telegram, which is always for
the betterment of Greensboro and her
interests, extend to these gentlemen its
righthandandamost cordial welcome,
assuring them that they will receive
the co-operation, good wiil and hearty
support of all of Greensboro's citizens.

AND THEY BOTH SAID "I WILL."
ilr. Gurney Boren and Hiss Mattle
Cook United In Marriage.
Tlfat was a most beautiful wedding
last night at the elegant home of Mr.
and Mrs. J. Van Lindley, at Pomona,
a few miles west of Greensboro, when
Miss Mattie Cook and Mr. Gurney
Boren were happily united in the holy
bonds of matrimony. The ceremony
was beautifully and impressively per
formed at 8:30 o'clock by Rev. S. D
Stamey, of Guilford College.
The couple stood in the front hall
while ceremony was performed. Just
above the contracting parties was the
beautiful mongram, "C. B." Beauti
ful garlands wended' their way from
side to side, from corner to corner,
meeting in the centres of the hall im
mediately above the heads of the hap
py lovers.
The bride carried a lovely bridal
bouquet of sparia japonica, lily of the
valley, La France and bride roses,
with long satin ribbon.
Miss Carrie Smith, of Summerfield,
beautifully rendered Mendelssohn's
wedding march.
Miss Sallie Cook, sister of the bride,
was maid of honor. The bride's at
tendants were Misses Myrtle Cook and
Eva Van Lindley, nieces of the bride.
Misses Mary Van Lindley and Gozal
Huqt carried the hassock. Mr. Zeb
Conyers acted as best man.
After the ceremony an elegant recep
tion was given by Mr. and Mrs. Van
Lindley in honor of the newly wedded,
and about 125 guests from Greensboro,
Winston, High Point and other places.
The bride was attired in a tan going
away suit, combined with cherry silk
and cut steel, with cream lace, and
was the picture of purity and loveli
ness. The happy groom appeared in a
black Prince Albert suit.
Immediately after the reception Mr.
and Mrs. Boren left on the 10:30 ves
tibule for Washington, returning by
way of Norfolk. They will be absent
about a week or ten days.
The house decorations were simply
beautiful, elegant, to say the least.
The presents, 65 in number, were
composed of solid siverware, hand-
painted Chinaware, cut-glass, chairs,
pictures, bric-a-bracs and many oth
er useful and ornamental articles. An
entire room was given up to the recep
tion of these presents.
A large plain cake was baked in
which was placed an old German coin,
a ring and a thimble. When the cake
was cut the ring fell to Zeb Conyers,
the money to Garland Daniel and the
thimble to Will Cook.
The young couple are to be congrat
ulated, for he has won a priceless jew
el and she a model husband. The
bride is a sister of Mrs. J. Van Lind
ley, and a daughter of ex-Sheriff Cook
and is a most lovable and accomplish
ed young lady, with numerous friends.
Mr. Boren has been a trusted em
ployee in the office of Mr. J. Van
Lindley, proprietor of the celebrated
Pomona Hill Nurseries, for about
eight years and is held in high esteem
by Mr. Van Lindley.
Mr. and Mrs. Boren will occupy the
handsome new residence of ex-Sheriff
Cook, just beyond the Normal. The
Telegram, with a host of other friends,
extends its best wishes for their future
prosperity and happiness.
BENEFIT PUBLIC LIBRARY.
Part of Proceeds from the Lecture to
be Given to This Cause.'
It is understood that Miss Dora
Jones will turn over a good share of
the proceeds from her lecture Thurs
day night to the fund for the Greens
boro public library. Be sure that you
attend and so enable her to turn over
a goodly amount. You will doubly
benefit yourself by hearing much about
the new congressional library that one
never gets in reading, and that ordi
nary sight seers do not find out for
themselves.
When you next visit Washington
you will be prepared to fully appre
ciate its strength and beauty.
To hear this lecture and to see these
views will be better, in some respects,
than to see the paintings on the walls.
You should not miss this opportu
nity. Tickets on sale at Ward's drugstore
and Wharton Bros, bookstore at 25c.
for any part of the house. Special
rates will be given pupils of the city
schools, and all who apply will be
supplied with tickets at the courthouse
on night of lecture. It is hoped each
school will be represented by a large
body of scholars.

Against Expressing Opinion as
to Cuban Situation.
By Wire to The Telegram.
Washington, March 23 Congress
man Grosvenor said this morning that
the president would send his message
to congress within the next seven days

Chairman Hitt, of the house commit
tee on foreign affairs, cautioned mem

be taken in the recognition of Cuba.
Senator Davis, of the senate foreign

matter is settled. He regards the situ
ation as critical.

there is no reason why the Blandwood
Club should not make its name one to
be feared by other tennis clubs.

Mr. C. M. Vanstory had his little girl's eyes
examined in Baltimore last year and went
with the prescription to one of the largest and
best known optical houses there to have the
glasses made up. FORTUNATELY one of
the lenses got broken recently and was carried
to the Greensbore Eye Specialist to be re
placed. He saw at a glance that neither lens
accorded with the prescription, and so changed
them both. Mr. Vanstory sent the old lenses
with an explanation to the occulist who had
given the prescription and in reply received
the following;
