MARION PROGRESS A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE BEST INTEREST OF THE PEOPLE OF MARION AND McDOWELL COUNTY ESTABLISHED 1896 MARION, N. C.. THURSDAY, JUNE 13, 1929 VOL. XXXIII—NO. 49 WnilAM NEAL, JR. WEDSINRORIDA Marriage of Miss Lillian Laura Long to William W. Neal, Jr., Brilliant Event. The following account of the Long-Neal wedding in Gainesville, Fla., Tuesday, June 4, taken from the Gainesville paper, will be of in terest to friends and relatives here; One of the most brilliant weddings in Gainesville society was that last evening when Miss Lillian Laura Long, only daughter of Mrs. George P. Long, was married to Mr. William Weaver 'Neal, Jr., of Marion, N. C., at 7:00 o’clock at the Holy Trinity Episcopal church. Long before the hour appointed for the ceremony the church was crowded with relatives and friends of the bride and bridegrroom who are socially prominent throughout Florida and North Carolina. Prior to the entrance of the w^edding party an elaborate'program of nuptial music was given by Miss Eleanor Smith, organist, and William Halliburton, violinist, who also played the wed ding marches. Massinet’s “Medita tion” from “Thias,” was rendered during the ceremony. The only illumination in the beau-, tiful little church was that furnished by the glow of hundreds of tapers which burned at each window and formed an aisle for the briday party. The chancel rail was outlined by the white candles which also created a pyramid at each side of the altar rail and on the altar a double row of soft sprays of asparagus fern and smilax! to be caught within a mass of palms and crotons. Floor stands in the re ception hall held coral vine and maidenhair fern. In the dining room the service ta ble was centered with the bride’s cake from the heart of which spilled lilies of the valley and orange blos soms. Favors were concealed on the ends of satin ribbons which were pulled from the fragrant blossoms. Punch was served on the porches from blossom laden tables by Mrs. William S. Stoney and Mrs. A. L. Browne. Later in the evening, Mr. and Mrs. Neal left in their car for their honeymoon, keeping their destina tion a secret. Mrs. Neal, who is one of Gaines ville’s most beautiful and popular society girls, was graduated from the State College for Women. Following her graduation she made an exten sive tour of Europe with a party of classmates. She is a member of Chi Omega fraternity. Mr>Neal is the son of Mr. and Mrs. William Weaver Neal of Mari on, N. C. He attended Duke Univer sity and is a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity. On their return from their honey moon, Mr. and Mrs. Neal will reside in Marion where Mr. Neal is engaged in the textile business.

Moore, of Sylva, presiding, and So licitor J. Will Pless, Jr., prosecuting the criminal docket. Judge Moore, in his charge to the grand jury, laid special stress on the traffic laws and the necessity of their enforcement. Many other things con cerning law enforcement and better citizenship were also emphasized. The judge appealed to the jurymen to perform their whole duty, which they bad sworn to do, and make pre sentment to the proper authorities of; any such violations of the law of which they might know. There is an aunusually heavy criminal docket but a large number of cases liave already been disposed of by trial, submission or continu ance. No cases of outstanding im portance have been tried.

The committee which was appoin ted at the Business Men-Farmers banquet and meeting held recently at the Lake Tahoma Casino met at the court house in Marion Saturday for the purpose of completing the or ganization of the committee, and to discuss the dairy work in McDowell county with special reference to marketing the surplus dairy products in the county and to stimulating a greater production. T. W. Wilson of Marion was elec ted chairman; C. F. James, vice- chairman, and County Agent W. L. Smarr as secretary. The first matter discussed .was the appointing of oth er members on the committee so that every township would be represented Quite a number of men were discus sed for membership on the commit tee, after which appointments were made as follows: Crooked Creek: M. A. Gilliam, Old Fort, Rt. 2. Old Fort: W. E. Willis, Old Fort, Rt. 1. Marion: John Ray Jimeson, Rt. 3, and Julius Cannon, Rt. 2. Nebo: L. G. Hollifield, Rt. 2. Higgins: Dan Anderson, Nebo, Rt. 1. Dysartsville: R. H. Cowan, Nebo Rt. 1. Bracketts: Jake Gallion, Nebo, N. C., Rt. 1. Glenwood: J.M. Haney, Nealsville. Montford Cove: W. M. Wilson, Marion, Rt. 2. North Cove: Seawell M. Avery, Ashford. G. C. Conley, chairman of the Agricultural Board of the county, is a member ex-officio of the committee Most of these members were pres ent as well as about a dozen interes ted farmers. The result of a recent milk survey of the county was dis cussed which showed that there was much interest throughout the county in the production of more milk if a satisfactory market was available. This survey also showed that we did not have sufficient milk to interest manufacturers of cheese or of con densed milk, to locate a plant in Ma rion. The “status” of the dairy work in McDowell county was stated briefly about as follows: The average farm er of the county cannot see that he has a market for any surplus dairy products. When there is a few pounds of surplus butter produced, the butter is brought to Marion or to Old Fort, and very often no sale is made and the butter is carried back home to be wasted. The farmer hav ing failed to market his butter is not interested in keeping any more cows, thus many herds are at a “stand still”. Many of our farmers are inter ested in selling the milk every day at the “farm gate” to a cheese factory or similar market. The manufactur- the year; ships his cream from Glen wood to a nearby creamery, and finds the market satisfactory. T. W. Wilson told of seeing his friend, J. L. Morgan shipping cream some 17 or more years ago to a nearby creamery, that he too decided to in crease his herd to 4 or 5 cows which he eventually built up to 10 or 12 milch cows. Much of his cream was pushed to Glenwood on a wheelbar row and shipped to a nearby cream ery. He found the market satisfac tory. Both Messrs. Wilson and Han ey stressed the value of skim milk in raising pigs, calves and chickens. Considering all returns from dairy ing, they figure that they made about $100 per cow per year. W. E. Willis reported that he ships 10 gallons of cream every week from Marion to a nearby creamery and finds the market satisfactory with a cream check coming in every week. L. 6. Hollifield also stated that he has always found a market for every thing that he has been able to pro duce. In dairying he is shipping the cream from four cows to a nearby creamery and finds the market satis factory. Thus it was shown that the fellow who had some 3 to 5 or more cows was finding a satisfactory market for their cream at nearby creameries Creameries Offer Market At this point communications were read by the scretary from three near by creameries in which each offered to buy our cream at the highest mar ket price. Not only were they inter ested in buying cream, but ready to visit the county and work in the in- Enacted for the purpose of curb ing runaway and spur-of-the-moment marriages, a law requiring advance notice of five days with respect to issuing marriage licenses to contract ing parties of minor ages will go into effect July 1st in the State of North Carolina. In other words, youths under 21 years of age in McDowell and other counties must apply for a license to wed at least five days prior to the date of the nuptials. In cases where the proposed marriage is publicly an nounced through the press five days or more in advance of the wedding, the law is null and void. Following is the main section of the act that was passed by the 1929 General Assembly of the State of North Carolina. “That on and after July 1, 1929, api^ication for a marriage license shall be filed with the register of deeds at least five days prior to the issuance of such license, giving the names, ages and addresses of the contracting parties, together with the names of the parents or persons in. loco parentis; provided, that upon the application of either of the par ties to a proposed marriage the clerk of the superior court of the county in which the license is to be issued may, upon satisfactory evidence be ing presented to him, or upon request of the parent or parents or guardian, if any, of the contracting parties, by , order authorize the license to be is- terest of getting more cream pro-^^^^^ ! tion of the said five days. “This act shall not apply to mar- duced.
