LINK IN LOVE'S CHAIN. MARRIAGE OF MISS CANNADY MR. WILLIAMS. The Baptist Church Crowded with a Large Assemblage on Wednesday Morning to Witness the Ceremony Handsome Presents, etc. Social interest during the past week has centered around the mar riage of Miss Kate Cannady, young est daughter of Mrs. Mary C. Canna dy, and Mr. Harry G. Williams, son of Dr. J. Buxton Williams, two of Oxford's much admfred young peo ple. The spacious Baptist Church was rilled this Wednesday morning (Nov. 16tb) at 10:30 o'clock to Its utmost capacity with a fashionable assem blage to witness the marriage of Miss Cannady and Mr. Williams. The altar of the church was beau tifully decorated with palms, ferns and other rich greens, and massed in lavish profusion about the pulpit, the colors being white and green, which were lnterpersed with lighted candles, the magnificent new pipe or gan just put in forming a back ground, presenting a brilliant scene when the wedding party gathered around the altar and the words of the Episcopal ceremony were Delng spoken by Dr. A. B. Dunaway amid the soft sweet strains of the grand organ presided over by Prof. Darius Eatman. Before entrance of the Bridal party Mr. Wheeler McGhee, of Frankllnton, splendidly sung "Constancy," by C. Webber. The bridal party entered the church to the strains of Mendelssohns wed ding march. First came the ushers: Messrs. Frank Pinnlx, Robert Klt trell, Nick Cannady and John Leach, of Littleton Then Miss Laura Williams In white silk mull over taffeta, and Miss Janet i'.:ggf, In white cblna silk and lace, and carrying a bouquet of whitecar nations, followed by Messrs. Edward and Joslah Cannady. Then Miss Mabel Yann, cf Frank llnton, dress of white silk and lace, bouquet of white carnations, with Mr. Sam Watts, of Norfolk. The Ihime of Honor. Mrs. Wade H. Brltt, sister of the bride, In dress of white silk, point lace and pearls, carrying a bouquet of pink carnations, fol lowed by the maid of honor, Miss Kate Connor, of Wilson, in dress of white net over taffeta, bouquet of pink carnations.

The bridesmaids and groomsmen then formed a semi-circle around the altar making a beautiful and lmpress tablaux. The last "Amen" said, the wedding party left the church in re verse order to the always thrilling strain of Mendelssohn's wedding march, going direct to the Seaboard depot and after many hearty congrat ulations from their host of friends left on a trip to Washington, New York and Boston.

There were quite a number from a distance In attendance upon the marriage among them Mrs. Judge Watts and two daughters, of Norfolk, Ya., and a 1 join In wishing them a long and happy wedded life. No Pardon for Bishop. Thursday Mrs. Arthur L. Bishop, called again on Governor Aycock to ask him to commute the sentence of her husband, convicted of manslaugh ter at Charlotte and now in the pen itentiary. With her was her lit tle boy and also a lady friend with her little son. The Governor will not take any action in this case. He does not feel that it Is proper to do so, and In this view he will no doubt be fully sustained by the people of the State, by far the greater number of whom do not think Bishop got a tithe of punishment he deserved for his great crime. In his refusal to pardon Bishop, the Governor was of course right. The trulh is, that In escaping the gallows, Mr. Bishop was exceeding ly fortune There is no law under which to do It, but he ought to have been hanged. Charlotte Observer. Mothers Praise It. Mothers everywhere praise One Minute Cough Cure for the sufferings it has relieved and "the lives of their little ones it has saved. A certain cure for coughs, croup und whoop ing cough. A. L.

The proprietors of the up-to-date stores of Oxford realize this fact most keenly, and with It goes the feeling that they may have some stock left over after the holidays which cannot be sold except at greatly reduced prices.

If you never put your goods before the pub lic through the columns of a news paper before, now Is the time to be gin; for therefore numerous mothers ami papas, uncles and aunts, sons and daughters, etc., who must receive tokens of affection.

Death again entered the Smith home, near Tar River, Thursday and this time took the head of the family, and the deepest sympathy is express ed for the doubly grieved family. The death of Mr. David Smith was not unexpected a3 he had been para lyzed some time and no hope was en tertained for his recovery. He was a most excellent farmer and citizen, and highly esteemed by his neighbors and friends. The interment took place Friday at Banks Chapel, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. J. H. Shore, pastor of the church. He leaves behind a wife and several sons and daughters and other rela tives to mourn his death. What Will Governor Aycock Do? One of the Interesting questions is what will be the future of Governor Aycock. Will he remain at Golds boro and practice law there, or will he have a high place In the field of education or politics? There be peo ple who have found fault with him for pressing the vital matter of the elementary education of everybody in North Carolina, black and white; but the people who have abused him for his views are evidently very much like the locusts, a few of whom In a forest will keep up such a din that an unobservant person will think the whole place Is full of the Insects. There have been very few speakers in North Carolina the equal of Governor Aycock. He is a cour ageous man and does his duty as he sees It. The mass of the people, the white people, the brains and brawn of the State, have stood back of him In what he has done, as has been shown this year at the State conven tion and at the public speakings, and of course the colored people are de voted to him for standing up tor ele mentary education for them. Some persons have said that the Governor might become the head of some edu cational Institution, and others have predicted various things in the future for fcim. For his own part, he says he will return to Goldsboro and re sume the practice or law, but he, of course, cannot say what the future has in store for him He will go down into history as the educational Governor.

The Orphans' Day. Thanksgiving Day Is a special do nation day to the orphans' homes of our State and this is most fitting. A people greatly blessed of God de sire to make some expressions of their gratitude to Him. They find no cause more worthy than that of the destitute, homeless orphan child. They realize that our orphanages are performing a necessary, an Im portant work for childhood and for the world. These institutions are being greatly used In the salvation of the children, In their preparation for useful lives. Without care and training the lives of these boys and girls would likely be given over to evil. Surely an offering, lovingly made, to a well conducted orphans' home is accepted by God as a true thank offering to Him. We would that all our people and especially our children in the homes of the State might enter more and more earnestly and acllvely Into work for homeless children. The boys and girls of today will be the ones who will, in a few years, carry forward this noble work of love. Thou my friend, would like to know Why fair twin roses Mush and blow In babys cbe:ks?

LOST OR STOLEN. Blue-black overcoat, velvet collar. Leave in formation with R. S. Uery. Chairman Simmons Talks. The Raleigh correspondent of the Charlotte Observer intervlewedChalr man Simmons at the railway station, Just before he left, about the political i situation. The chairman said: "Under the circumstances we have won a great victory In North Caro lina. A light vote was cast; greatly lighter than I expected: However our majority holds up very well. One interesting fact is that on joint ballot we will have exactly the same majority in the coming Legislature which we had lu the last one. We lost one Senator and we gained one member of the House. The fight by the Republicans on the Watts law was made through the legislative ticket. The result shows that they absolutely lost while we held our own. In fact this Watts law ques tion was the one thing In the cam paign which gave vitality, life and Interest to it, and but for it the vote would be lighter on both sides. There Is absolutely nothing In the election to give any comfort to the Republi cans. Our people could have polled 75,000 majority, had there been any real enemy to contend with. Our majority will probably be about 50, 000. The Republicans have made claims that they would make gains In the Eastern counties, but the elec tion shows that we carried every county except Sampson. As to the eighth district, which I do not con cede to the Republicans, I am ad vised that Blackburn boasted before the election that five Democratic election officers would vote for him In Stanly. I am advised that there are irregularities In that county which affect the substance of the vote. Y'ou may be sure that these will be very thoroughly investigated by the State election board, which Is soon to m?et." Thousands Cured. De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve has cuied thousands of cases of Piles. I bought a box of De Witts Witch Haz 1 Salve on the recommendation of our druggist," so writes C. H. LaCroix, of Zavalla, Texas, "and used it for a stubborn case of Piles. It cured me permanently." Sold by J. G. Hall. HOW ABE YOUB EYES? Sight is Priceless.
