COLDREO TEAM PLAYED BALL The Elizabeth City and Edenton colored teams played a partial game of ball here yesterday aftemoon.The game was called after Elizabeth City had been to the bat once and EHen ton had completed the second inning on account of rain. The score stood two to two. season. Many friends of the young couple from the neighboring villages attended th© wedding and the church was so crowded that long before the hour for the ceremony every seat was filled and outside the church while the ceremony w-as oeing read. Th© church was beautifully decorat ed for the occasion, and every ar rangement was carried through with the most perfect taste ana good or der. After the ceremony the young couple repaired to the home of the brides father where a reception was held and where they received the sincere congratulations of a large num ber of admiring’ friends. The bride is the daughter of Mr and Mrs C L Austin one of the most socially prominent families in this section and is one of the mogt popular young ladies of our village.
