Hunnicutt, of Greensboro, and Mies Mattie Currin, daughter of Mr. A. B. Currin, of Oxford. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Mr. Nash, pastor of the Methodist church, In Henderson. The reason that the time of the marriage was so late was on account of the party having to steal his girl in Oxford and go through the country from here to Henderson. The rain had fallen con siderably and the streams were up, causing the trip to be made with right much difficulty. Marriage of Miss Minnie Kronheifr.er. Last night at 9:30 o'clock, there was a pretty home wedding solemn ized at the home of Mr. B. F. Kron heimer, on South street. The con tracting parties were Miss Minnie Kronheimer and Mr. W. G.

Putting down the granolithic side walks continues, and when the work is completed It wiil be one of the greatest improvement s that has been undertaken in Oxford in many years. It would be a great thing if every body was able to put the walk down in front of their business houses, which would add so much to the looks of the business portion of Ox ford. Last Thursday while the ma chine was at work mixing up rock and cement to put down on the walks t wo gentlemen walked up and joined the large number cf spectators. One of them turned to a man close by and asked: "Arc you running this machine?" "No," replied the man, "the steam is running it." The ques tion was well answered and the in terrogator quietly walked away to his business. Meeting of Congressional Committee. The executive committee of this congressional district is called to meet in this city on Saturday next to set the time for the convention. It is a source of gratification to know that there is a marked degree of harmony among the Democrats in regard to the nomination. There is no opposition that we can hear of to the present incumbent Hon. W. W. Kitchin. Why should there be? He has made us a faithful represen tative, and Is just now In a position, with his reputation and influence, to do still better service, and he is the best posted man in the district to cope with any man the Republicans may put up, being thoroughly iainll lar with the workings of the admin istration, and the acts of the Repub licans at the national capital. This congressional district convention wiil have very little to do but endorse and re-nominate Mr. Kitchin, and then march on to victory under his leadership. Durham Sun. Death of Captain James E. Britt, Brother of the Editor. Army officers and the many friends of Captain James E. Britt, united States Army, retired, were surprised yesterday to learn of his death on Saturday, the 5th Inst., at Oklahoma City, O. T., where he was on duty as military instructor in the United States Military Institute, located in that city. For several years past Captain Britt had been a resident of this city, having served at tho Pre sidio while on duty with his regi ment, the Twenty-fourth Unltetl States Infantry, and since his retire ment he and his family made San Francisco his home. He was a man of strong personality and marked ability as a tactician, while his kind ly disposition as a husband and father won him the esteem of his as sociates and a large circle of friends. Captain Britt was born In North Carolina 51 years ago, and entered the army a young man as a private in Company K of the Twelfth United States Infantry on September 26, ISiO. Two years later he was ap pointed hospital steward and served in that capacity until June 2-1, 1SS0, when he was advanced to Second Lieutenant In the Twenty fourth Infantry. On December 23, 1887, he was again promoted and became a First Lieutenant in the same regi ment, and held that rank until the Spanish-American War. On April 26, 1808, he was commissioned as Cap tain, and a few weeks later went with his regiment to Cuba. He took part in the oueration3 a.bout Santi ago and participated in the famous iufantrv charge at San Juan hill While leading his command up the heights he fell severely wounded. In his report Colonel Freeman of the Twenty-f ourth Infantry specially complimented Captain Britt, and the latter was breyetted Mai or for gal lantry on the battlefield. He subse ouentlv served with honor in the Phillipines, but the wounds received In Cuba and the climate in the Phil ippines unfitted him for further ser vice and he was honorably retired for disability in line of duty on De cember 23, 1890. Colonel Dunn, superintendent of the Oklahoma Military Institute, is accomnanving the remains of the de ceased soldier to this city for inter ment in the National Cemetery at the Presidio and will arrive I1 rlday. Cap tain Britt leaves a widow, son and daughter, who will continue to re side in this city. San Francisco Chronicle, March 10. The funeral of the late Captain James E. Britt, retired, who died at the State Military Institute in Okla homa, took place yesterday after noon at the "Presidio. He was burled In the National Cemetery at the post with military honors. The Slxteento Company of Coast Artillery acted as escort. The caisson upon which the remains were borne to their last rest lng place was drawn by six magnifi cent black horses.

Dear Sir: "Three quarter paint" is a good phrase for the best outside of Devoe. Devoe Is the standard; mark it 100. The next best there are several not far apart are three quarter paints; you may mark them 75 to Devoe's 100. The bulk of the paints In market are 40 or 50 or 00; a few are better than GO; a few are worse than 40. How do they act? They coverfrom one to three quarters as much as Devoe; and they last from one to three quarters as long as Devoe. What are they worth? The same rule don't hold; it costs more to put on some paints than they are worth; they are not worth anything, the "put on" costs two or three times as much as the paint. Yours truly. F. AY.
