The Lowry-Falson Ruptiali. The home of Mrs. Walter Douglas Smith on Green street was the scene of one of the loveliest of home weddiDgs on last Wednesday night, when Miss Kath erino Middleton Faison become the bride of Rev. Thomas McCall Lowry of Knoxville, Tenn. The parlors were decorated with palms and ferns and potted plants, white and silver being the prevailing colors, while the light of soft wax candles made the rooms radiant. At 9 o'clock Dr. Stager, of Charlotte, N. C, and Rev. H. Tucker Graham took their places in the arched window, and the bridal party entered to the sweet strains of Mendlesohn's Wedding March. Little Miss Douglas Southerland entered first, carrying flowers; then came Miss Sallie Purdy, the only bridesmaid, and lastly the lovely bride, leaning on the arm of the groom. In most appropriate and solemn words the Rev. Dr. Stagg pronounced the sacred vows, and after a prayer and the benediction by Rev. H. T. Graham, the happy couple stocd and received the congratulations and best wishes of a few chosen friends. The bride's dress was superb ; fashioned of exquisite white crepe de chine en trains, with over dress and corsage drapery of real lace and tiimmings of passemen terie and panne velvet. The supper room was decorated in violet and white, even the ices being served in those colors. There a delicious supper was served, and fruit punch was dispensed in the hall to the guests. The presents were unusually beautiful and numer ous. Tha happy pair left on the mid night train for a honey moon in the Land of Flowers. Miss Faison is one of the most charming members cf Fayetteville society, and the groom, Rev. Mr. Lowry, is of an old South Carolina family, and one of the most talented and popular ministers in the Presbyterian church. He has charge of a large and flourishing church in Knoxville, Tennessee.

REBECCA BLEDSOE BUXTON, fayetteville. Yesterday was observed as a gen- ... 1 . 1 eral holiday in Fayetteville, and wnne the churches were filled with large congregations of happy people, giving devout thanks for the blessings received during the year, a great number of our young people spent the day in the coantry hunting, and, in most cases, enjoyed fine sport, without the usual accidents, so far as we can learn. It was a lovely day and enjoyed to the full. AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH. At the Baptist church last night Rev. S. J. Porter preached a strong sermon in harmony with the day, and a good collection was taken ud for the Thomp son Orphanage at Thomasville. AT ST. JOHN'S. At St. John's church the usual Thanksgiving services were held. The Rector, the Rev. Mr. Hughes, preached an appropriate sermon ; the music was good, and the "fruits' of the earth" were in evidence in the church decora tions. In the afternoon, the usual gifts to the poor were made by the splendid Ladies' organization. The collection for the Orphanage was good. AT HAY STEET METHODIST CHURCH. Thanksgiving services were held at Hay Street Methodist Church yester day morning, commencing at llo'olock. The pastor, Rev. W. L. CuniDggim, preached an appropriate and impres sive sermon on "The Feast of Taberi nacles," which he likened to our National Thanksgiving day, and from which he drew many beautiful and useful lessons. The services were well attended, and at the close the usual thank offering was taken, amounting to some $200, which will go to swell the twentieth century thank offering fund now being raised by the church at large. AT THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. There was a large congregation pres ent at the Presbyterian church yester day morning, though but a small pro portion of these were men. The sermon was preached by the Rev. John W. Stagg, D. D., pastor of the Second Presbyterian church of Charlotte, the largest Presbyterian congregation in the Old North State. Dr. Stagg took for his text, Matt. xiii: 33, in which the Master likens the progress and growth of the Kingdom to the silent, steady, resistless action of the leaven upon the meal. He erpha- siz9d several points in which the truth of the gospel had revolutionized the views and practices of the world, show- ing Christ his life and death to be the great central fact in the world's history. It was a most thoughtful dis cussion, of great earnestness and power, and was listened to wih closest atten tion by the congregation, all of whom were delighted with this fine discourse. An offering was made for the Pres byterian Orphanage at Barium Springs n Iredell county, and collection yes erday was the largest that has been given for several years, indicating an ncreased interest in this beneficent work. Hna Telia now lie Won Oar IIearl. John Philip Sousa, the great band leader and composer, wrote the follow ing for a recent issue of the Youth's Companion : When North Carolina celebrated its centenary the Marine Band was order ed to Fayetteville to participate in the ceremonies. The little Southern town was much interested in the advent of the "President's band," and the pre vailing opinion was that "Dixie" would be tabooed music with us. Before the exercises, a local committee waited upon me and intimated that "Dixie" was a popular melody in tnat vicinity. "Of course," said the spokesman, "we don't want you to play anything vou don't want to. but, please remem ber, sir, that we are very fond of 'Dixie' here." BowiLg gravely, I thanked the com mittee for their interest in my pro gramme, but left them completely in the dark as to whether 1 intended to plav the loved song of the South or not The ceremonies opened with a patrr otic address by Governor Fowle, laud ing the clories of the American flig; and, naturally, the only appropriate music to such a sentiment was lhe Btar Spangled Banner," which tbe crowd patriotically cheered. The tone of the succeeding oration was equally fervid, but the speaker en larged upon the glories of the Com monwealth whose 100th anniversary was being celebrated. The orator sat down, there was a momentary pause, and then, as I raised my baton, the strains of "Dixie" fell upon the de lighted ears of the thousands around the platform. The unexpected had happened, and such a shout as went up from that throng I have never heard eaualed. Hats were tossed in the air, gray- bearded men embraced, aod for a few minutes a jubilant pandemonium reign ed supreme. During the rest of our stay in Fayetteville the repertoire of our Marine Band was on this order: 4 Yankee Doodle," "Dixie," "The Star Spangled Banner," "Dixie," "Red, White, and Blue," and "Dixie."
