Two More Victims of "Cupid's" Fatal Arrows. The Asylum Chapel was the scene of a most brilliant wedding last evening at 9 o'clock. The contracting paitis were the popular and well known Mr. E. T. Crews of the Banner Warehouse, and the hand some and accomplished Miss Lois Sweat, who has won many friends during the three years she has been connected with this grand institution. The Chapel was beautifully and taste fully decorated with hot house plants, and the many lights which shown around help to make up a scene of brilliancy sel dom equaled. Long before the appointed hour the Chapel was being filled with anxious friends and acquaintances, who eagerly awaited the first grand notes of Mendelssohn's Wedding March, which was performed in a highly pleasing man ner by Miss Hyde, of the Granville Insti tute. The bridal cortege entered in the fol lowing order: Mr. W. D. Lynch and Miss Mattie Rountree, Mr. Willie Landis and Miss Annie Booth, Mr. John Bullock and Miss Mattie Crews, Mr. Hugh Davis and Miss Annie Lunsford, Mr. Bev. Koyster and Miss Lula Cutchins, Mr. Fred Crews and Miss Maty Walker. The bride carried in her hand an exqui site cluster of night blooming cactus, the gift of Mrs. S. W. Parker, which finished her handsome costume of white mohair and lace. The bride's maids were charm ing in full evening dress, each carrying a bouquet of bridal roses, and the gallant groomsmen looked well in their conven tional black suits. When the whole party had entered and taken their places at the altar, the soothing voice of our beloved Dr. Dixon, iu his distinct reading of the marriage ceremony, was accompanied by the low sweet strains of music, until the words, ' I pronounce you man and wife,'' gave the happily wedded couple liberty to retire to the asylum parlor for the con gratulations of friends. After a few moments spent thus pleas antly the bride and groom with their attendants, ushers and a few friends re paired to the home of the groom, where the remainder of the evening was sptnt in pleasant intercourse one with another. During the evening we were invited into the dining room where the table groan ed under the burden of the many good things; flowers and fruits were tastefully' arranged to please the sight as well as the appetite. The ushers were Dr. J. G. Hunt, Dr. E T. White, S. W. Cooper, W. A Bobbit. The Promise of Business. There is a moderate calm in trade just now, as we are in the betwixt and between period of the business season ; but it is remarkable how the judicious energy of our business men is rapidly increasing the dull season trade. The man who stops advertising in what is called the dull seasons, gives up the contest and transfers his trade to his more wise competitor, and he advertises only when bupinesa is most easily commanded, while the man who invites the public to trade every day by wisely presenting what will most attract patronage, is practically without dull seasons. The promise of business hU fall is grat ifying, aud it is now evident that there will be plenty of trade for all who know how to command it. It won't hunt hazi ness houses, but the business house that knows how to invite custom and how to hold it when it comes, will have abundant prosperity. Business has become severely practical, i and it is practical at both ends of the line. It must be practical in selling as it is in buying an 1 the widely read newspaper is the only channel through which trade can reach profitable custom. Tne Wew uond Machine. The two horse road machine purchased by Mr. A. W. Graham, is a strong sub stantial machine on four wheels. It has two seats, one for the driver and one in the rear for a man to operate the large scraper underneath by the use of two leavers, which are easily managed. Mr. Grah im informs us that with two mules and two hands this machine will do as much work in one day as 100 hands w ith shovels can accomplish. According to this the n achine will do all the cutting and grading that is neces sary, which will put the roads in as fine condition as they can be made, but they will never be what we call good roads un less we have a rock crusher, which our people will soon find out. We cannot and will not have good roads without this machine, and we hope our Board of Coun ty Commissioners will consider this im portant matter at their next meeting. We are satisfied that the taxpayers of the county are perfectly willing to pay for good roads to travel over, as it will be money in taeir pockets in the end. NEWS ABOOT THE STATE. WHAT HAS TAKEN PLACE WITHIN HER BORDERS. A Oenernl Epitome of Recent Occur rences Around and About Es, From the Mountains to the Sea, us Culled from our Slate Papers. There are sixty -seven students enrolled at the College of Agriculture and Me chanic Arts. A large number of the trade issue of the Southern Farmer will be distributed din ing Fair week. The Supreme Court will examine ap plicants for license to practice law on Fridayr and Saturday of this week. A tobacco manufacturing company lias be- n organized in Wilson, with a capital of $50,000, to establish a smoking tobacco factory. A coffin factory was destroyed by fire in Burlington, N. C, last week, and four thousand coffins were reduced to ashes. Loss about $20,000. So far ten races have been scheduled for the fair. All horses entering for the races must have been owned in North Carolina six months previous to the date of entry. We sincerely regret to learn that Con gressman Rowland is very sick at his home in Robeson county. We need his vote in the House on the Senate amend ments, to the tariff bill. Work on the Kenilworth Inn, in South Asheville, is progressing rapidly. It will be one of the most elegant hotels in the South when fiuished, and will cost over a quarter million dollars. Roxboro will have a new bank and ten prize houses ready for the new crop of tobacco. With two backs, two ware houses and plenty of storage houses she will be ready to handle a large quantity of the leaf this season. Courier. Judge Womack is giving general satis faction as presiding Judge over this term of Pitt Superior Court. He wears the er mine with dignity, and while lie pushes the work in a rapid, business like manner, there is the utmost care, accuracy and precision about him. Eastern Reflector. Mr W. P. Williamson reports in the Raleigh Chronicle that he planted in 1835 four acres in grape vines. In the last, three years he has gathered 54,909 pounds in 1889, 20,026 of these. His returns are $1,236 80 or $412.26 for three years or $138 42 for each year. Ilia crop for 1S90 is as good or better. Mr. J. W. Stallings, the farmer whose finger was bitten by a negro in a light a few w-eeks ago, found it necessary to am putate the wounded member last week. The llr-sh pntrified and refused to adhere to the bone and if the finger had not been removed it is probable that blood poison ing would have resulted. Reidsviile Weekly. A Halifax county special to the Raleigh News aud Observer says : At a large Democratic meeting- held here to-day, a very strong and conservative -appeal was made to the Democrats ag inst the com promise proposed by the county executive committee. The resolutions oiEered against the compromise were adopted with but four dissenting voices. The Chicago News thinks it would ha a loss to the Senate if Senator Vance should be retired. It says : "As Zebulon furnishes most of the wit that occasionally euliveusthe Senate his absence from that grave and dignified body would be keenly felt." Just so. But he is not only the witties of the Senators, but he is one of the best informed, one of the strongest, one of the safest. Correspondent State Chronicle : Mr. R. R. Cotton, of Cottondale, Pitt county, has 375 acres in cotton that is extra, 175 acres in corn that is splendid, and 50 acres in tobacco that is the wonder of all, even the Granville and Person countv tobacco j men. He has the most modern barns for curinr fourteen in number. He had cured righ.y-uiue barns two weeks ago and will have fifty or seventy five more to cure.

"1 "don't think the Banner is booming our town as it ought to. 1 see that Mr. Willard has painted his fence around his front yardl and Deacon Webb has put a new roof Ion his dwelling, and I notice several othj?r improvements that the Ban ner has failed to mention. It is not doing its duty to our town-" "Well, Mr. Jones, I am onlyr a subscri ber to the B inner and like to read it and wish it that success that I think it de serves. Beyond that I have no further interest in it, but I believe in fair play. Now, the truth about the matter is this : The Banner may have omitted to mention the matter y(u refer to, but there never has been any, uncertain sound about its editorials in reference to our town. I have noticed ar'icle .tfter article iu its columns lauding our town to the skies, evidencing that sincerity and good will for our place and people that no reasonable person could misundrjrstaud ; and you and I to gether have been able to note the result. Since the Banner's persistent efforts in the. interest Of our town have you not noted the most wonderful advancement ? Has it not been the pioneer advocate of almost every public enterprise that has been inaugurated here for the past few y ears ? "Now, I learn that a few days past its editor asked for an advertisement of your Eureka Laud and Improvement Co., and it w7as refused n ith the answer that an ad in the Bamier would be no use to the com pany. Yoy are largely interested ! Eureka Lind Company and von admit that the Banner's boon ng the town is worth a great deal, an'"1 really complains when it omiU to mention any little matter. Now you say that an ad i i the Banner would do no good. Suppose the Banner should see fit to pay something unkind about your j company, do you think it would do ro harm ? Well, whether it would or n(k you would be afraid to risk it. Land companies in other towns take whole pages in their local paper and there by show an appreciation of their efforts. You refuse to do so and complain becau-e you do not gjet more gratis work. Its an unfair and tsmjust way of dealing with your home paper even if it does lay in your power t do so." Eagle. Boils, pimples, and skin diseases of all kinds speedily disappear when the blood is purified by the use of Ayer's Sarsapa rilla. It lias rio equal as a tonic alterative, the results bfjing immediate and satisfac tory.
