The Church Tastily Decorated With
Evergreens and Flowers.
Last night at 8:30 o'clock the hour
appointed for the marriage of Miss
Sallie Truitt and Mr. Walter Wil
liams, Centenary church was crowded
with friends of the contractingjarties.
The altar of the church was prettily
decorated with ivy, cedar and flowers,
with two graceful arches of the same
material, forming semi-circles of light
with candles burning thereon.
The enchanting and inspiring strains
of Mendelssohn's wedding march res
ponded to the cultured touch of Miss
Lizzie Crocker as the wedding party
came down the middle aisle: Messrs.
Welch, 'Gregory, Phipps, McNairy,
Glascock and Brower; then came the
groom leaning onthe artnof Theodore
Williams, best man. Following them
came the bride, charmingly attired in
snowy white, accompanied by "her sis
ter Miss Lovenia, mafd of honor.
At the chancel, Pastor Gay awaited
them and performed the solemn cere
mony which made -them man and wife.
The scene was pretty and impressive,
and as the bridal party marched out,
many wishes, inaudible, yet fervent,
were made that their journey through
life might be ever along pleasant
paths with birds and flowers, rippling
brooks and sparkling fountains to
cheer them.
HE MADE IT GOOD.
But Wanted the Balance of the floney
Paid In.
A merchant of South Greensboro,
who deals in scythes and grain cra
dles sold a cradle to a farmer last
year and guaranteed it to do first-class
work. A few days ago the farmer
brought the cradle back and com
plained that one of the fingers was too
short causing it to drop wheat. The
merchant very promptly had the de
fect repaired and when the cradler was
about to start he was informed that
he owed $1.25 on the cradle which had
never been paid and that it must be
forthcoming or the cradle should re
main in his store.
Visions of golden grain waving in
the field and beginning to spoil for the
reaper's scythe probably rose in the
farmer's mind and he perhaps reason
ed with himself that it would require
all his spare change to pay the binder,
He thereupon told the merchant he
had no money, but that after harvest
the amount would be promptly paid.
This seemed rather vague to the
merchant and he positively refused
permission to the man to carry the
cradle away without that dollar and a
quarter. But a bright idea struck
Mr. Cradler and he snatched up the
blade of steel with its rigging of wood
and darted out at a twenty-knot gait.
He ran a few yards and on hearing
the stern command "halt" he heaved
to.
He reluctautly returned to the shade
in front of the store, fished up his
stocking leg and turned over the
money.

COMMOTION IN MADRID.
Madrid, June 9 General Correa,
minister of war, refuses positively to
send further instructions to Augusti,
governor general of the Philippine
islands. He says that he has already
cabled Augusti to protect Spanish
honor by fighting to the death. Senor
Salmeron is agitating for a national
government in Spain. He declares
that the ulterior views of the present

The bad news received here from
the Philippines has made a profound

but there is a latent intensity of dis
satisfaction though it has thus far
been expressed on patriotic grounds
only.

Cost of Cable Messages.
The many cable lines and the result
ant competition have brought the cost
of communication between New York
and London down to a fairly low fig
ure, 25 cents per word, but when one
tries to reach more remote parts of the
world, where the line is controlled by
a single government, or company, or
where there is little business to sup
port it. the cost of sending messages
amounts to alarming figures. To 'send
ten words from New York to Manila,
for instance, costs $23.50 or $2.10 per
word beyond London. This is the
commercial rate. Newspaper dispatch
es go for half this sum, but even so,
the cost of bringing a column of news
from the Philippines mounts up to
nearly four figures. Even from a point
so near as Curacoa, which became for
a short time, the centre of news inter
est, the commercial rate by the cheap-
route is $1 98. These two samples will
give a fair intimation of the immense
sums being expended by the newspa
pers in gathering information about
the war. New York Sun.
