Craven were married last Thuraday
eveniug at "Hroadacre," the Cut
ingtoa home in Mouroe. Tbecece
ntony occurred at eight o'clock, and
Rev. W. F. Wataou of the IUKisl
church, assisted by Rev. W. R.
Ware of tbe Methodist, officiated.
Tbe occasion waa marked by the
presence of a large number of rela
lives of tbe bride aud groom aud
other guests both in and out of
town. Tbe sitacioua house was
beautifully decorated for tbe ocea
sion, tbe liarlor, diuiug room, hall
aud drawiug room being converted
luto one.
An altar had been arranged in
the west window f the parlor, aud
at the appointed hour tbe ofticiat
ing ministers took their places side
by side. As the wedding march
was played by tbe young sister of
tbe bride, the weddiug party en
tered. First entered Misses Susie
and Lcasie Covington daintily
gowned in dresses of soft white
silk and carrying piuk carnations.
making way for the bride and
groom, aud took their places to the
right and left of tbe altar. Tbe
maid of honor, Miss May Coving
ton, came in alone, theu followed
the bride from tbe south door with
her brother, Mr. lavid A. Coving
ton, as the groom advanced from
the north door with his brother.
Mr. (VI Craven.
When the solemn words of the
ceremony bad been spoken the
couple knelt and received the bene
diction impressively spoken bv
Rev. Mr. Ware. The bride was
beautifully dressed in white silk
and carried a large bouquet of
white caruations aud ferns.
Tbe presents were probably the
largest and most beautiful array of
bridal gifts ever seen in Monroe
silver, cut glass, fancy imiiortcd
ware, aud scores of both useful aud
ornamental articles, including
cheek from Uncle Frank" Col.
Frank Simmons of Montgomery
couuty, the bride's great uncle.
wbo was present
Alter the ceremony refreshments
were served. Sir. and Mrs. Craven
left ou the evening train for the
mountains.
The bride is one of the State's
most cultured young ladies. Not
only that, but she is the pos
scssor of a sweet chrisliau charac
ter, lovable in all her ways, and
admirably fitted to be the help
meet of a noble man who has devi
ated his life to the service of (iisl
and man. She is tbe eldest daugh
ter of the late D. A. Covingtoii, and
one incident just here may he given
without violutiou to good taste, us
it so well illustrates her gentle
character and loving tbotightl'ul-
ness. As she was leaving the
parental roof that night with the
man of her choice, a frieud re
marked that the bride's beautiful
bouquet that, she hud carried was
being left behind. "I am leaving
that for papa," was the reply, 'I
want It placed on bis grave tomor
row." In the room near where the
altar stood was a perfect portrait,
done by Ratdall, of the father
whose memory dominated the
household that night as nearly as
it is possible for oue who has gone
to the great beyond.
1 he groom is a grandson of the
great lr. Craven, aud is one of the
most able young ministers of the
conference. He is at present sta
tioned in Salisbury. The acquaint
ance of the young couple began at
the session of the annual confer
ence which was held in Monroe
two years ago. Rev. Mr. Craven
was then a guest of Uie Coviugtou
home. Tbe friendship then formed
ipened into love with the happy
ending of last Tuesday evening
Death of firs. C. Broom.
Mrs. C, Broom of Waxhaw died
on the 17th, after a lingering ill
ness of several weeks. She was in
her 65th year, Mrs. Broom was
twice married, the first time to W.
J. C. Godfrey, and of this mar-
marriage two children survive, J.
C. Godfrey of Mecklenburg aud
Jas. H. Godfrey of Cabarrus coun
ty. In October, IMiti, she whs mar
ried to Mr. Calvin Broom, whosur
vives her. Of their nine children
four now survive, Messrs. B. C. aud
C. R. Broom, Mrs. F.A. Kraussand
Mrs. J. P. Garrison of axhaw,
and Mrs. Dr. McLoud of Aber
deen. She was a most loyal mem
ber of tbe Baptist denomination,
and was a good woman most gen
uinely beloved by all who knew
her. Mrs. Broom seemed to have
a presentiment that she would not
live long, and even before she be
came ill expressed this idea. The
hiiterprise says:
'To those by ber bedsido she
often spoke of the indescribable
beauties and glories of that world
and of the mauy friends ami loved
ones over there beckoniug her to
come, aud then she would say, 'Oh,
if you kuew bow happy I shall be
when I get over there, you would
not grive for me when I am gone.'
'She spoke of ber son, tbe late
H. W. Broom, who died alxint two
years ago, as standing by her bed
side smiling lovingly upon her.
Tbe veil seems to have been drawn
aside and tbe whole realm of glory
opened up to her vision. Heaveu
and earth had come together in tbe
room where lay ber prostrate and
emaciated form and she forgot her
bodily suffering while contemplat
ing heaven and all tbat heaven
means. People are accustomed to
speaking of it as "that tar off
shore," but those who were with
Mrs. Broom during her last illness
were made to feel that, after all, it
is not so far away."

Interesting Reminiscences of Mon
roe Court Fifty Years Ago.
thr K'llliirolTlM-Journal:
I paid your town a short visit
alsiut two weeks ago, by sxvial in
vitation. I enjoyed the hospitality
of my old friend, James McXeelv,
and liis good wife. Jim carried
Union county's pockctbnnk for twelve
cars, and, like Moses Culberson and
Lemuel Presson, two good old treas
urers in ante-bellum days, gave an
account of every dollar. My father
practiced medicine in Monroe in
1M;. My mother said ex-Governor
vllis was State solicitor at the courts
in Monroe that year. My first visit
to Monroe was in 1H57. .My father
was a witness in court and took me
along. 1 was ten years old then.
Nther left me in the care of Ilosca
Little, the jailer. His good wife, who
was a daughter of John III tint, Ksq.,
took inc. upstairs to see the prison-
rs, and in one cell were two genteel
looking men. I asked her what they
were in jail for, and she said for
debt. They were making pictures on
the wall with tire coals.
