years following a decree of
a Greensboro, N. C-,
couple decided to again attempt
the journey through life as man

the bonds of holy wedlock were
tied. The ceremony was per-
formed in this city to-day,

from Greensboro. N. C. They
were unaccompanied and pro-

ceremony was performed at
o'clock in the parlors of the hotel
by Rev. W. R Laird pastor of

It is this that enables us to
stand for what is right and just
even before kings. Capacity is
what we can do. It is God given,

never be content to remain on
one level but always strive to

of one's powers to whatever he-
undertakes in life, We should
concentrate our whole energies on
whatever calling we take up in
life, without these there is no
hope of success in life.
