ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.
CENTER BRICK
ATTRACTIVE FOLDER ISSUED.
Meet is Wed
Here.
At o'clock Monday after-
noon, in Hotel Macon, there
took place a marriage that wad
the outcome of an interesting
romance. The parties were Mr.
J. W. Pearce, who lives near
Siler City in Chatham county,
and Mrs. Maggie Waters, of
Beaufort county, the
ceremony being performed by
Rev. J. H. Shore, of the
Methodist church.
Last March Mrs. Waters
ed an advertisement in the
Raleigh News and Observer for
a position as a governess,, and
Mr. Pearce wrote to her. From
this a correspondence arose be-
tween which was later
followed by an exchange of
photographs a courtship by-
mail. Recently there an
agreement that they met some-
where and talk over the matter
of marriage. Greenville was
selected for this meeting place,
and both Mr. Pearce and Mrs.
Waters arrived here Saturday
rooming, their intention being
to meet each other at the Rives
house. Mrs. Waters,
by her little girt arrived
and failing to net a room
at the house left a note
therefor Mr. Pearce and went
to Ho el Macon. When Mr.
Pearce arrived he told the driver
of the bus to take him to the
Rives house, but instead of
as directed the driver took him
to Hotel Macon, and not knowing
the difference he went in and
registered.
At the hotel Mr. Pearce soon
learned that Mrs. Waters was
stopping at the same hotel and
their first meeting took place in a
short time. There was nothing
of disappointment to either in
this meeting, and they decided
to get married here at the time
stated. It became known a
little in advance that a marriage
was to take place at Hotel
Macon, and several people went
there to witness it.
Mr. and Mrs. Pearce left on
the Norfolk Southern
train for Raleigh and then on to
the home in Chatham
county. This is the second mar-
for both of them, Mr.
Pearce having six children and
Mrs. Waters one. The bride be-
fore her first marriage was Miss
Maggie of Ayden, this
county. She married Mr. Waters
there and moved to
where he died three years ago.
She is yet young and an
woman.

near Rockingham, this week.
The old man claims he is
years old. His name is
and he is a fine specimen of
African manhood. He is about
six feet high and weighs
pounds. He says that he
remembers being in Raleigh in
his youth when there was
nothing there but one blacksmith
shop and one saloon. The old
man claims to have served God
for over years and been
a preacher for years. In
addition to preaching he repairs
chairs. That he is in good
physical condition is shown by
the fact that he walked miles
to town, two chairs,
and then went back home.

Dr. Cook reached Ne York
today his return from
the North Pole, and his
home city, Brooklyn, gave him a
reception that even surpassed
the ovation given him in

Cook seems to have no effect
preventing the doctor from get-
ting the honors all right.

Peary's charge that Cook took
fake observations to prove that
he had been to the North Pole
could just as well be turned into
an intimation that it is what he
did himself. The man free

If the prosperity thus officially

evidence showed that the train
made the usual stop; that a
woman and child, if not others,

pulled the bell cord and the train

that one of the three men did

with them but to no avail.
He wrote them a pass from

suit. This Is quite the worst
