The .public cordially invited. Mrs. W. R. Bond, Director. Beautiful Morning Marriage. One of the prettiest marriages of the season was solemnized in the Baptist Church Wednesday morning at half-past nine e'clock, when Miss Lucy House became the wife of Mr. James Andrew Cowan, of Bristol, Tenn. The church was crowded with friends of the popular bride long be fore the appointed hour. The decorations were simple 'yet exquisite in their simplicity, so suit able to the occasion and the hour. The decorations were in charge of Mesdames Kate Dunn, W. H. White and J. E. Hancock. The color scheme was well carried out in green and red. Beautiful cut flowers in all their spring glory and massive palms and ferns were used to splendid advantage forming pyr amids on each side of the altar, which was crowned with an exquisite bundh ox hydrangeas. Before the arrival of. the bridal party Miss Katherine Futrell sang "Thine Always." Promptly at the appointed time the bridal party entered to the strain.? of Lohengrin, old, yet ever no 7 and always beautiful. Mrs. ' James Allen Pittman presided at the organ with her usual grace and skill. First came the ushers, Messrs. J. Bruce Futrell, Seavboro Hancock, Hugh Johnson and W. H. McDowell, ""ho took the'r Peaces on each side of tue improvised altar, men came the little attendants, Miss Frances v nuo ntny aresscct in wnue Swiss, and Master Eugene Whiie- head, handsome in a suit of white. Then C21T1C little Mi.SS Kathci'Iiie Shic-kirf, the flower girl, and a verit able little fairy in her. dress of lace over bilk. The maid of honor, Miss Estelle iIou.;e, sister of the bride, entered alone. She was elegantly attired in while' net over silk, wearing a pic turesque hat of lace and plumes. She carried an armful of carnations and ferns. Then entered the bride with her brother, Mr. John W. House, and the groom with tne best man, i.ir. Thomas Pemberton, of Bi-istol, Tenn., meeting at the aitar, where they were made husband and wife by Rev. J. E. Hutson in a very im- The bride was stylishly gowned in a handsome tailored suit of blue broadcloth, trimmed in Copenhagen blue, with hat. veil, gloves and purse to match. With this she wore an e-cru net blouse trimmed in cluny and Irish lace. She carried an arm ful of carnations and ferns. Immediately after the ceremony the bride and groom left for Rich mond, where they will spend a few days going from there to Bristol, near which city they will make their home. Many handsome presents of cut glass, silver, china and beautiful pieces of hand work testify to the unbounded popularity of the bride and groom. Mrs. Cowan, as Miss Lucy House, numbers her friends by the score, having been born and reared in this community. For several years she has been with Morrisett Brothers, a capable, energetic, thorough busi ness woman. Her many friends re gret that she is going so far from their midst. Mr. Cowan comes of an old and well-known Tennessee family and hi a imn of fine qualities and a pros perous farmer. They carry with them the best wishes for their future happiness. The out of town guests present were H. E. Biggs and wife, of Ral eigh, Thos. Cowan cf Bristol, Mrs. J. H. Delaney of Bozeman, Men., Dr. J. A.

Of Allen's Minstrel show which will be in Scotland Neck next Sat urday the Charleston Daily Messen ger says: "Allen's Mammoth Pavilion Negro Ministrels were here Wednesday and Thursday, April 15th and 16th, inst,, and gave four performances under their canvas theatre, which is equip ped with all the scenic and stage ef fects and conveniences as used in regular theatres. The minstrels : were indeed a success from start to finish. "These minstrels have" one of the largest, strongest and best constel lation of negro performers, includ ing vocalists and comedians, before the public today. The Allen's Min strels have the reputation of being one of the finest Negro Minstrels on record and produce a show that will make you laugh. Their street parade is something great. The performers wear white! silk hats and snow white duck suit?, j witn fans and umbrellas. The par ade hero was headed by Prof. Mc Camon's superb brass band, this and other. features making it one of the most novel parades ever seen." 8 TffO STRONG PROHIBITION ADDRESSES. Dr. ZolHcofJer and Mr. Jones. , Tuesday night a large audience gathered in the skating rink to hear Dr. D. B. Zolliccffer, cf WeWon, and Rev. C. A. Jones, pastor of the Methodist church of Scotland Neck, discuss prohibition. The meeting was presided over by E. E. Hilliard and the exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. J. E. Hutson. Mr. E, E. Hilliard briefly present ed Dr. Zollicoffer to the audience as a popular speaker in Scotland Neck, this making the fourth time he had appeared here during the past six months, once before on the subject of prohibition. Dr. Zollicoffer spoke with great earnestness and effect devoting the most of his address to answering the objections which whiskey advocates raise to prohibition, mainly that it takes away one's liberty and does not prohibit. These object ions wrere fully and effectually answered by Dr. Zollicoffer in most masterly and convincing logic. Want of space forbids any detailed report of the address. Dr. Zollicoffer was at his best and surely all who heard his strong address must have accepted his argument. Mr. Albion Dunn in a few well chosen remarks presented Rev. C. A. Jones, who discussed prohibition as a moral question as it relates to the school, the church and the Sabbath. He showed conclusively that there is no place for the saloon in connec tion with a school; that there is no place for it in connection with the church, and that the holy Sabjjath is too sacred a day in which to tolerate it. Mr. Jones spoke in his character istic epigrammatic style and made a strong plea for a sweeping prohi bition victory on May 20th. He show ed by statistics the great advantage whioh prohibition Stales and terri tories have over those in which the saloon is a licensed inttitu Lion, and called upon the manhood of " this community and the State to register the doom of the liquor traffic by their ballots on May 26th. There is not space for detailed re ports. Dr. Zollicoffer and Mr. Jones delighted the great audience and their addresses will tell on election day. At the conclusion Mr. Albion Dunn suggested that the ladies or ganize to furnish music, recitations and thf lilrf -fnr en.-'PAfHri.T nvrtVnV prom bi- tion meetings here. Easter Pleasures The school children had quite a round of Easte pleasures. Friday night there was quite an enjoyable party at Mr. A. F. Hancock's which was attended by a large number of young girls and boys. Monday was holiday and the child ren had various pleasures. The children of the Methodist Sunday-school enjoyed an Easter egg hunt in Mrs. Bowers' grove at Dr. Wood place. They met at church and went in a body to grove and all greatly enjoyed the the the the pleasure of finding the beautiful eggs. The children of the Episcopal Sunday-school likewise enjoyed together the pleasures of an Easter egg hunt in Mr. G. Lamb's grove. Joyous indeed was the Easter Day to them as they happily met and mingled in search for the pretty Easter eggs. In the afternoon Mrs. E. T. White head gave a number of her little friends a joyous outing in a ride to the woods where they enjoyed the ramble in the woods, the gathering of wild flowers and the nice lunch which their good chaperone had pre pared for them. Monday night a number of young people enjoyed a most pleasant party at Mr. W. H..Josey's where pleasure filled the time until the parting hour. 1I0V-'S THIS?
