Secretly, Married.
It is hard-to keep anything
secret, most of all a marriage.
It was just learned yesterday
that Mr? J. L. Mauney and Miss
Mav Allfaif slipped away 'from
their homes at Cherry ville San
day and came to Gastonia where
they were " made husband and
, 'wife by Capt. W. I, Stowe, the
well-known - marriage artist.
; The groom is a son of , Mr.
Wiley Mauuev. while the bride
is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
, Berry Allran nd is a very at
tractive and winsome young
lady. "Mr. and Mrs. Mauney re
turned to Cherryville Sunday.

The price paid was $3,500 more

sold under the hammer last fall.
Judze Webb declined to confirm
that sale and the one Tuesday
was a re-sale. It is believed that
he will confirm the latest - sale.

Mr. M. L. Smith v returned to
bis home at Clover this morning,
after spending a week in, Vicks
burg Miss Mr. Smith says the
Mississippi river is so high at
Vicksburg as to have necessita
ted the removal of more than 30,
00U bales of cotton from the cot
ton compresses.
There w a s a considerable
movement of cotton in January
and although 'no effort has bren
made to get exact figures there
is information at hand to warrant
the statement that as many as
700 bales were sold on the York -
ville i market.; Ordinarily" the
movement of cotton is light in
January; and this year's move
ment hss been - heavier than
usual. The stock of cotton in
the hands of the farmers is prob
ably smaller than at this time
last year. The ampunt stored
in the local warehouses, is hard
ly more, than 1,200 or 1,500
bales. -.
If the South Carolina Public
Service corporation does - not
mean business, it is throwing
a Way lots of money getting in
shape. It had to pay something
like $5,000 for a charter and the
advertising required by law : in
the various counties in which it
proposes to operate, has cost
$1,000 or $1,500 more. These
are only a part of , the prelimi
nary expenses and are not to be
considered as a drop 'in :the
bucket in connection with the
construction expenses soon to
be met.
There has been nothing new
as to the proposed, new railroad
about which there was so much
talk a few tnonths ago, and about
the only interest the situation
seems to possess at this time is
what, after all, did it mean. nA
great big bluff is the only way vl
can size it up." says a Yorkville
gentleman who. had considerable
experience in such matters. "I
talked to the engineers and ac
cused them of running a bluff at
the time; but they . assured me
that I was mistaken: .that this
old Three C's would never suit
their purposes aud they . would
not have it as a gift." ' But now
it looks' like those surveys must
have been a bluff. Just - what
the object of that bluff . was ;- is
still a matter of doubt. There
has not vet been any confirmat
ion of the story that the Seabord
has bought the old . Three C's,
and it may torn out that the
story is not true. But the Sear
board, or the South and Western
ot whoever it was that j was 4 be
hind that survey ot a lew months

"How We Can Serve You" is the
title of a Handsome little booklet re
cently gotten out by the Citizens
National Bank. It consists 1 of ten
pages and is neatly and attractively
printed on good paper in two colors.
The illustrations add no little to its
attractiveness and worth. . The ad
vantages offered by banks in general
ana tne citizens national in particu
lar are strongly set forth and the
arguments are convincing. Cashier
Myers is sending out the booklet to
the bank's customers and others.

when they drive into town on a cold.

or cover them with blankets . In the

who on cold days will rush for a
stove themselves and leave their
horses in the storm while in the heat
of. summer tbey seek the shade and
leave their horses in the sun. There
is something: wrong about the man
