A surprise was sprung Wednesday
morning when, at the residence of
Mr. W. V. Bobbitt, at Ringwood,
Miss Mamie Johnson of that place,
and Mr. Earnest E. Stallings, of En
field, were quietly married in the
presence of a few friends and rela
tives. The affair was not elaborate, the
only attendants being Miss Pattie
Williams, of Ringwood, maid of hon
or, and Mr. John B. Parker, of En-'
field, best man. Miss Vera Williams, j
of Ringwood, played the wedding
march, besides rendering a beautiful
voca solol.
The ceremony was impressively
performed by the Rev. A. G. Wilcox,
of Brinkleyville. Immediately after
wards the bridal party drove to En
field, where they took the noon train
for a tour of the Northern cities.
The bride is very popular here,
where she has visited several times,
and has a large number of friends, j
The groom is a prominent young
merchant of Enfield and i3 well ;
known in business affairs. They :
will make their home in Enfield.

The Southern Cotton Seed Oil Mills
of this place have shut down for the
want of seed. The abnormally high
price of seed at the opening of the
season seriously cut down profits or
entirely wiped them out and when
oil and seed began to tumble, the
free movement of seed stopped.
These mills no doubt seeing such a
small possible margin . of profit be
tween seed and seed products, have
put fourth no effort to obtain .seed.
The shut down is indefinite, but hop
ed to be only temporary.

A few days ago, Wiley Humphrey,
near Lawrence, killed a large deer,
that had taken up with the herd of
cattle of Carey Lawrence. This hei d
was in the pasture and a deer was
several times seen with them in the
day. Finally the natural fears for
man and his environment were eo
much allayed that it would at night
come up with the cows. Early one
morning just before day, Mr. Hum
phrey went out and fchot it.

Grippe or Influenza, whichever you like
to call it, is one of the most weakening
diseases known. -
Scott's Emulsion, which is Cod

It is so easily digested that it sinks into
