Miss Nannie Mayo died Monday
afternoon at l

of her sister, Mrs. Louis Kraus, in
u L j J 5ays ac and
the body was brought to Penelope,
Burke county, Tuesday morning.
1 ne tuneral service was conducted
Tuesday afternoon and the body
interred in the family plot beside
the grave of the young lady's
father. .
.,For nearly two months Miss
Mayo has been ill and the dread
fever to which she was slowly but
surely succumbing, finished its
work and the soul took its flight
Monday.
Miss Mayo was 26 years of age
and it is said was a most estimaDle
young lady.
The Sun says she was engaged
to be married and the wedding
day was not far.distant.
The gentleman to whom she was
engaged went to Salisbury some
time before her death and re
mained at her bedside watching
over and ministering unto her
until she breathed her last. .
Marriage a Marios. Z
Miss Camile Gruber and Mr.
Will Cooper were married Tues
day evening of last week in Marion
at the residence of Rev, T. J.
Rogers, who performed the cere
mony. The bride is a daughter of Prof.
S. F. E. Gruber, who will be re
membered as the head of the
famous family of musicians, who
have several times furnished de
lightful concerts to Morganton
audiences. Miss Camile is the
eldest daughter and is a charming
and accomplished young lady. Mr.
Gruber is now proprietor J of the
Flemming-Eagle hotel, at Marion.
The groom is a son of Mr. W. M.
Cooper, of Statesville, and comes
of a most excellent family. He is
associated with Mr. Bennett, recti
fier, of Marion, and is one of the
most popular young men of that
town.
Summer Entertainments.
The younger set of boys and
girls in Morganton are greatly en
joying themselves this season.
On last Friday night about 20
of them were gathered at the
home of Mr. Louis McKesson and
spent the evening most pleasantly
with songs, games, dancing and
refreshments.
On Monday night tbey met
again at Miss Janie Pearson's and
tripped the "light fantastic." Of
course they were served delight
fully. These young people certainly
enjoy life, and be it said to their
credit that they conduct them
selves with great propriety and
decorum. We think Morganton
never grew a finer set of boys and
girls.

To Asheviile on a Bicycle.
Mr. S. J. Bean, who has been
cutting stone for the new bank
building here, left Morganton last
Saturday morning at 4 o'clock for
his home in Asheville on a bicycle.
Saturday evening Mr. J. S. Zim
merman received a card from Mr.
Bean stating that he arrived in
Asheville at 12 o'clock noon.. The
distance is 62 miles, and consider
ing the rough roads over which he
traveled, we think Mr. Bean made
remarkably good time.
