will be added a like amount, mak
ing a $10,000 equipment Each

.in that city, but their purpose was
to be wedded in the popular ro

ever, that the young people in

manner, so the marriage was not

bride is one of the County's at
tractive young women and be
longs to the Manning family
which has produced some of the
best citizens of the county. She
has, for years, been a successful
public school teacher, and the
groom is to be congratulated upon
his winning her. Mr. Price is well
known as the chief clerk in the
post office at Williamston, where
he has been for years. He is a
young man of sterling worth, and
enjoyes the respect and esteem
of all who knew him. He has made
a home for himself and mother
for several years on West Main
street, to which he will carry his
bride. *

with the good wishes of a large
number of friends who will miss
him. \
