The churches of the city have made the hour of evening services later, on account of the days growing longer, and now they are held at 7:45 The wind drys the streets mighty fast and the dust is a serious damage to stores and stocks. It is a good time to bring the sprinkler into use. The committee of ladie3 who have undertaken to raise some money to help pay off the indebtedness on the Masonic Temple, for the Masons, have gone right at it with the usual vim of Rocky Mount ladies and are meeting with success.

Considering the stringency in money the price is held to be very satisfactory by the stockholders, and bespeaks a confidence in the city's growth. The Spring Hope correspondent of the Nashville Graphic says "Rev. Mr. Owens, of Rocky Mount, preached an interesting sermon at the Pythian Hall last Wednesday evening to a large and appreciative congregation. There is no Episcopal church in this place, however, there are quite a number of members of that faith in our town. There is some talk of erecting a church at this place sometime in the future." The Rocky Mount Anti-Saloon League held a business meeting in the M. P. church Tuesday night and there were many entnusiastic temperance workers in attendance, about 150 men besides the ladies. New members were enrolled, committees appointed and assignments of duty made that the cam paign for State prohibition may be started and waged vigorously until election day, May 26tn. Messrs. N. L.

Some little stir was created in poiiee circlis Monday night when it was re ported that a man who stationed him self oti .church street had grabbed several ladies who were passing.

The police are straining every j effort to locate the man and if caught ; he will be severely dealt with. "We are King," Was Good. "We are King," at the Masonic Opera House Thursday night, was in many respects the best pioduction of fered local theatregoers this season. Mr. William Clifford in the duel role of "Hector, King of Kahnburg" and "Gustavus Vender," the happy-go lucky newspaper correspondent, dis played remarkable talent and won a warm place in the hearts of his audience. Miss Maude Shaw, as the "Princess," was happy in the role, and in fact all of the cast were good. The drama starts out very much like comic opera, but discovers a fetching plot in the second act which increases interest to a great extent. A delightful vein of humor courses through the play, and preity nearly everything abounds to make it, a very captivating drama, in- C'UUI -G II ■ CIISIMN* S and scenery. Wyati Memorial Fund Growing. Interest in the Henry L. Wyatt Me morial Fund is great in Rocky Mount and this section and much gratification is felt that success is crowning the ef forts of the association to raise the fund to fittingly honor the hero of Bethel. The Bethel Heroes Chapter, U. D. C., of this city, was the second to redeem its pledge of for the fund, the William Dorsey Pender Chapter, of Tarboro, being the first by a small margin.

On Wednesday evening Mar. 11th at 7 o'clock, in the First Baptist church Mr. Frank C. Gorham and Miss Rachel Soden were happily married in the pres ence of a large number of their friends and admirers, who in braving the very bad storm raging attested their high re gard for the young couple. Dr. I. M. Mercer performed the ceremony. The ushers, Messrs. W. A. Bulluck, Clarence Grffin, Arthur T. Shearin and Edward Batchelor, preceded the bride down the aisle to the altar, where she was met by the bridegroom, who came from the pastor's study, leaning on the arm of his best man, Mr. C. Gordon Smith. The bride, charming in a hand some close fitting blue cloth traveling suit of stylish mode and carrying a large bouquet of white carnations and ferns, entered the church on the arm of her sister, Miss Belle Soden, maid of honor, and took her position in front of the al tar, where impressively and with due solemnity the troth was plighted, "for weal or for woe," and for "aye and eternity." After the ceremony and a short season in which they were heaped with congratulations, the bridal eouple were driven to the depot and took the train for Sharpsburg, their home, and where the bridegroom has the responsible position of cashier of the Sharpsburg Bank. They were the recipients of numerous handsome and valuable presents, as an earnest of the high esteem in which they are held by their friends. The bride is the daughter of Mr. Wm. Soden, Sr. She has much charm of face, form and manner, and is exceed ingly popular with a wide circle of friends. She held a responsible posit ion with the Bank of Rocky Mount, where Mr. Gorham was formerly en gaged and where their daily contact de veloped the romance which©culminated in the marriage Wednesday. The hridegaoom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Gorham, of this city, and a young man of sterling qualities whose charac ter and ability give promise of a very successful business career. He is well known in social and business circles, where he is popular in both, and has a large and prominent family connection in this section. Strickiand-Westray. Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Westray, 011 Western Avenue, there was celebrated a pretty home wedding when Mr. Benj. A. Strickland and Miss Rosa B. Westray plighted their troth in the presence of a large number of friends. Dr. I. M. Mercer performed the ceremony, which was beautiful and impressive. Miss Coley, of Oak charmingly played the wedding march as the bridal party entered the handsomely decorated par lor and took their places before the minister. Mr. Alphonso Hicks and Miss Lula Westray were the attend aits. After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Strickland left on No. 80 for Whitakers, where they will make their home. Mr. Strickland is secretary and treasurer of the Whitakers coffin man ufacturing company and a rising young business man of ability and character. The bride an accomplished young lady who has won distinction and es teem as principal of the Snarpsbujrg school. The Lyman Twins Cnming. The famous young stars "The Lyman Twin Brothers" who have jumped with wonderful strides to the front rank as comedians, and who we will j have the pleasure of seeing here soon in their latest musicial hit, "The Yankee Drummers" which is said to be one of the finest and most complete musical comedy productions of the day, are comtdiuns in a class by themselves, and entertainers who deal out comedy lines ard situations in a way seldom seen. "The Yankee Drummers" is the most elaborate production in which they have yet appeared. Carrying a large company, a dainty chorus of pretty girls, a host of funny comedians, singers and dancers, together with a beautiful array of scenic and electrical effects compete. The flirtation song, the poppy girls, and the country maidens are novelties which are original and seen only with this attraction. Taylor-Thomas. A quiet home wedding was celebrated on Wednesday evening, March 11th, at the home of the bride on Pearl street, when Mr. C. E. Taylor and Mrs. M. L. Thomas were happily married, Dr. I. M. Mercer, of the First Baptist church, officiating. Quite a number of the friends of the couple witnessed the cer emony and remained for the informaland very pleasant reception which followed. Both parties to the marriage are wtll known people of Rocky Mount and are held in high regard by their friends. Mr. Taylor is a poDular member of the city police force and one of the. most efficient officers on the force. Harrison Brown, a negro lawyer of Asheville, was convicted and s ntenced to 2 years on the roads, for ! r .inning a blind tiger. JNO. J.
