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. Always Leads in High of Their Averages. Give Brinkley the same tobacco and he beats them all.

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, is a big bunch of folks, but we expect the hunt is going to them. 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 hagen. Peary's denunciation of Cook seems to have no effect preventing the doctor from get- ting the honors all right. The more sand-clay work done the streets roads is just that much more of a good thing. The weather is getting against I , but some of us will have to to our straw hat a while longer. Peary's attendant got off some high sounding language in his interview with the Press representative.

The latest project is a combination auto- mobile and Hying machine, pro- with both wheels and wings. It proposes to spin along on the wheels where roads are good and when bad places are reached Hap its wings and fly over. That's the stuff. 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 with insinuating accusations others, is in most eases giving an insight into what he would do if he was the other fellow's place. in Easy Chair. To do one's work seated in a chair, to have money in bank and in pocket, to own biles and trotting horses, to wear good clothes, to have plenty to eat and drink, and to see wealth in grain, vegetables and live stock accumulating, with no grievance except that laborers are few-that is the picture which Mr. Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture, draws of the West- farmer. If the prosperity thus officially attested be real the cities and towns of this country contain millions of people who have been hopelessly deluded, for in spite of Mr. Wilson's assertions there is an unending procession from the farm to the factory. Men do exchange abundance for scarcity, the comfort of for the anxiety of or the pleasure of com profits for the pain of solving the cost-of-living prob- Accepting Mr. Wilson's statement, we must ask, not as of old, Why do people leave the but, Why do not people leave the York World.

Three men are suing the Southern Railway for failure to let them off a train at The evidence showed that the train made the usual stop; that a woman and child, if not others, alighted, yet when some distance out from Reidsville some one pulled the bell cord and the train stopped.
