Bhe fell 12 feet to the track below and
sustained painful injuries though it is

On the theory that the swift current

has been dragged, but all to no avail:

o'clock when Mrs. J. F. Goodman en

luncheon at which she announced the
engagement of her cousin, Miss Eve

Twelve guests, the intimate friends
of the bride-elect and relatives of the
young eouple, were invited, and the
air of expectancy worn by these easily
indicated xhat a particularly happy
feature was to distinguish this oeca
tion an expeetatiqn fully justified
when assembled at the table the ap
pointments were found everywhere
marked with lovely emblems of Cupid
and his stock in trade.
The table was a vision of beauty
with a graceful be-ribboned basket of
sweet peas in the centre and at each
place a tiny light glowing through del
icate pink tnlip shades.
By each plate were dainty Cupid
place cards and Cupid menu cards, the
clever wording of which, form the first
course ''Hearts of Love Apples "
bouillon, to the lsst, "Sweethearts,"
(mints) marked this an a veritable
Hearts' lnneheon.
Just after the fourth course, "Icy
Hearts" (sherbet) each guest was
handed a seemingly delicious lettuce
salad -not edible, but beautiful and
buried within its paper heart was
found a tiny envelope. The double
heart seals were quickly broken and
the two cards enclosed with the names
Miss Evelyn Altona Grier and Mr.
George H. Richmond revealed the sec
ret to the delighted guests.
A perfect chorus of good wishes
were showered upon the lovely bride
elect and her health and the happy
consummation of the date, June the
seventeenth, were, pledged in many
appropriate toasts. Beautiful little
souvenirs, bonbon boxes in the form
of a dainty white book, were presented

roost (rifted and charming. She has
hosts of friends and relatives here.
She has of late been even more closely
identified with the interesta'and social
life of our city than as a visitor, having
taught for the past two years in the
graded schools.
Mr. Richmond is a young man of
much business prominence, and holds
the respect and friendship of bis fel
low townsmen. He is the second son
of Mr. G. U.-Richmond, of Bedford
City, Va., formerly of this city.
The wide popularity and social con

At an adjourned meeting of the
board of aldermen last night the $50,
000 bonds recently authorised by the
legislature for the water board, were
sold to the Western-German Bank, of

Jarri Say Craig Will bo Governor.
Raleigh, April 19. Former Govern
or Thomas J. Jarvis, of Greenville,
who was at the Yarborough house last
night, in discussing politics in this
state, msde the statement that be be
lieved that Locke Craig, of Aaheville,
would undoubtedly be the next gov
ernor of North Carolina.
"I find very little opposition to Mr.
Craig," he said, "and I believe that
he will be nominated almost unani
mously. The east seems strongly for
Mr.Crsig."
As the race stands to date, it is
safe to say that Craig will win in a
walk. There is only one announced
candidate so far in opposition to Mr.
Craig, that being Lieutenant-Governor
Newland; The progressive element of
the party sems to be; doing its figur
figuring on the senatorial possibilities
than on the governorship.
