Holden, the genial con ductor on tho freight between Win ston and this point, and Miss Gertie Ziglar were united in marriage at the home of the bride's parents near Winston last week. Both have a host of friends who join us in wish ing for them a long and happy life of happiness. Mr. J. C. Henry, brother of our townsman, Esq. W. B. Heniy, has moved from Keystone, W.

From those who attended the clos ing exercises of Miss Mamie Barber's school on Thursday afternoon of last week, wo learn that it was a most enjoyable occasion, and that the young ladies acquitted themselves in a most admirable manner. The program consisted of of music vo cal and instrumental and recita tions. Only the patrons of the school and a few personal friends were present. Dr. C. J.

If tho gentleman can get a cinch on this stock, it will prove- to be a bo nanza, for a chicken with four legs would naturally bring a larger price jthan the ordinary fowl. r 1 Bob Deal, of The Chronicle, Steps to the Froni at East. lu perusing our esteemed -oi,tem-; porary, The Chronicle, this week, we fimUho following: 'Since our friend Bill Smith re- tired from 'the snake industry, hav - ing made his fortune, that special ! w.l. .A ...!........

Some par ties have killed as many as 25 nakes per day within the last week, a Mr. Walker had a fierce battle with a peculier kind of snake. He suc ceeded in slaying it. It is said the snake had a horn or sword on its tail I inches long and two horns on its head II inches in length. D was "cry vicious This is not written' to attempt to dim the lustre of Joe Robertson's snake tale. We are Mtnply stating facts and of course can't compete with Joe's imagina tion. We will however try to do better next time." Now, we do not doubt the authen ticity of the above, but do want to speak a word in self defence. In the first p'aee, we have never at tempted to get oil a snake story and the one to which the above refers was taken from an exchange the Monroe Journal. AVhi'o our imag inative pump ma- be fully develop ed, yet, with unbounded confidence in our ability to compete with most people when it comes to ';sti etching the blanket,"' we have always stu diously avoided writing about snakes and their habits, etc., when The Chronicle's 13-inch gun is always loaded with ammunition of this sort. Besides, the snake :'tale" which he quotes as being the pro duct of our imagination had no "tail" at all both ends were heads. Under the circumstances, we can but feel a little sore at our brother for his unkind nt he realizes that he stands head and shoulders above us in this business, and then apolo gize?) for trying to "dim the lus tre of Joe .Robertson's snake tale?'' For Shame, Bob: We thought you had more consideration for the feelings of the weak. Van noy Ward. Mr. J. E. Van noy stole a march on his friends Saturday and slipped down to Walnut Cove, where he and Miss Hartie Ward, of that place, were united in marriage Sunday. This was indeed a surprise to our people, as it was not know that such a movement was on foot. They came up Monday and are now domiciled at Hotel Cordon. The bride is a sister of Mrs. E. L. Hart and Mayor Ward, of this place, therefore is no stranger to our peo pie as she has visited here several times. She was one of Walnut Cove's fairest daughters, and we gladly welcome her, The groom is recognised as ono of our most progressive business young men, and both have a host of friends who join us in wishing for them even more married bliss than the future now promises. Nearly a Fatal Mistake. Last I riday night nearly a f.ital 1 mistake transpired at the In n, !.t Mayor Ward. Mrs. Ward hu 1 i . r:s in the habit of giving their litile -on a dose of "Bateman's Drops" before retiring. Tht djy her husband was not feeling well and purcha.-ed a bottle of laudanum.

Wednesday evening he moved the meeting to this place and will be with us jovcral days. He preached an aide sermon to a crowd ed church that night, and large con gregations have attended each ser vice since. Mr. Needliai.i is an able minister and a forceful speaker, each sentence carrying conviction with it. His points are weU-takeiivand he proves each assertion "ix the Word of Cod. North WilkcshorJand communi ty is to be congraluiateSon havu.g such an able divine in our undst much good has already been accom plished by hi.s being here and morV will follow may he continue to lie the medium of bringing many souls to Christ. Blue Ridge Normal. the spring term of the Blue Ridge Normal at this place closed Wedncs day. As our readers will remember, the pupils voted some weeks ago to have a big picnic instead of com menccment exercises, but several of the patrons were present Wednes day. Revs. Robinson and Brad shaw made interesting and instruc tive talks to the pupils and those present. This is Prof. Royall's first term as principle of the school, but he has gained the confidence of our people, who recognize in him an able and competent instructor. In Honor of Mrs. Hill. Mrs. M. L.
