Promptly at three o'clock the bridal party entered church to the strain of Mendels-shon's Wedding March rendered by Miss Annie Laurie Crews. The groomsmen marched up the right aisle and the bridesmaids up the left, meeting at the altar and crossing to opposite sides, forming a half moon. The groom came in attended by his brother, Mr.

W. R. Neville, being met at the altar by the bride, attired in a handsome blue traveling suit, who was leaning upon the arm of her maid of honor. Miss Lola Montey Parker. While Rev.

B. Death of Little Julian Boseman. The deepest sympathy of the entire town go out to Mr. and Mrs. J.

T. Boseman in the death of their little four-year-old son, Julian, which occurred at their home on Burnett Avenue at ten o'clock Wednesday night. Little Julian was a bright little fellow and had only been ill about a week his illness at first not being regarded as serious. A few days before his death his condition grew worse and all that skilled physicians and loving hands could do availed nothing and at the above hour his little soul took its fliifht to Him who gave it.

N. C. Nov. 27. There still remains lots and lots of cotton over the river, we learn, and some are of the opinion that many fields will be white Xmas.

Some of it perhaps will never be gotten out. Mr- Marcellus Pope, a very excellent farmer of Crowells. is at this writing in a serious condition, owing to blood-poisoning of the system. Dr. H.

B. Furguson has been attendiag him for several days and has called in Dr. Lewis, of Northampton County to consult in the case Mr. Chas. H.

Wilcox for the last ten days has been turkey hunting several times and rarely ever fails to bring at least one of them in. A few days ago he kill ed two large fat gobblers, which tipped the scales at 30 pounds, so we can imagine about how tired he was on arrival home after "toting" them three miles over the shoulder. The peanut proposition has been much more easily solved around here than the cotton situation and most of our people have either gotten theirs off the vine or have made arrangements to do so in the near future. The peanut yield in many places is very unsatisfactory and extremely disappointing. Only a few of our larger growers have what they consider a fair crop.

A day or two ago over on the Northampton side of the river a party of hunters were fortunate enough to get three deer, two bucks and a doe. There was a buck killed the first of the week down in the slashes, which tipped the scales at 151 pounds, a darkey being the slayer. This is just about the very heaviest killed around here in quite a long time, as those usually brought in weigh anywhere from 75 to 150 pounds. W. F.

Death of Mrs. Henry Neal. A saddath occurred last Tuesday evening when Mrs. Henry Neal passed away at about ten o'clock at her home on the Bell farm near town. Mrs.

Neal was about twenty-eight years ofv age and had been sick three or four weeks with typhoid fever. She was a daughter of the late Lucius Willey and was a highly esteemed young woman. She was a consistent member of the Methodist Protestant Church and held her membership at Eden Church. Mrs. Neal is survived Jby a husband and three children and a large number of relatives, who have the deepest sympathy of the entire community in this sad hour of their sore bereavement.

The remains were laid to rest in Elmwood Cemetery Wednes day afternoon at four o'clock, the Rev. C. L. Whitaker, assisted by the Rev. J.

E. Helden, per- pormed burial services. M. P. Conference Appointments.

Mr. and Mrs. Paul Garrett, of Berkley, lost by death on Saturday afternoon at 5:40 o'clock their two-and-a-half year old son, Paul Garrett, after a brief illness of pneumonia. The little fellow was taken ill about a week ago, but improved and on Saturday morning was able to be up and plaving about the nursery. About 4 o'clock, he was taken with congestion the lungs and expired shortly afterwards.

Mr. and Mrs. Garrett were in California and unable to reach here before the last sad rites had been performed and the little body had been placed in the earth, and the mound covered over by loving hands with flowers. The remains were brought here Monday and placed at rest in the family square in Cedarwood Cemetery. Among loving, relatives and friends who were here to attend the funeral were Mr.

and Mrs. C. B. Cole, Miss Laura A. Weller, Ray Weller, Mrs.

Fannie 'Weller, Mrs. Cary Edwards, of We wish every citizen in Halifax Codnty could have been present at the lectures given in the Lecture Car of the A. C. L. Good Roads Train, which spent several hours here Monday afternoon.

The lectures were very well attended, but might have been better, and those who did attend were given facts and figures about good roads that will be remembered. Never have we seen the question of road improvement put so forcibly as in the stereoptican pictures thrown upon the canvass. There were pictures of bad roads in many states and the same roads after they were improved. The transformation with the advent of improved highways is beyond imagination. If some of the good roads shown among these views were in Halifax County our people wouldn't take Rockefeller's millions for, them, and yet there are some who would opp6se a bond issue of a few hundred thousand dollars to make just such roads as were shown in these pictures.

The Atlantic Coast Line is do ing a great work in sending out this Good Roads Train and we hope they will see fit to let it pass through often. "My Lady of the North." Fifty years ago the titantic struggle between the North and South was being waged. The semi-centennial of this greatest of all modern wars makes every thing pertaining to it of peculiar interest at the present time, and a stirring Civil War story is par ticularly appropriate now. It is for that reason we have arranged to print: "My Lady of the North," by Randall Parrish, author of "Bob Hampton of Placer," "Keith of the Border," etc This is the greatest of all the great historical stories Mr. Par rish has given to American readers.

It is a swift, intense, adventurous romance, with some mystery, as much action as is possible to crowd into one story, plenty of realism of what may be termed the romantic variety, and a glow which will enlist your sympathies as well. as your atten tion. On as black a night as any daring sojdier could ask, a cavalry captain rode out from the Army of Northern Virginia to carry certain dispatches from General Lee through the Union Lines. The officer is Captain Philip Wayne, and a gallant Virginian in every sense of the word. He is at once plunged from one dangerous adventure into another, and the dashing style in which he describes'them will keep you enthusiastic and fairly breathless in your effort to keep up.

You will not want to miss a single line of the story and we strongly advise you to be sure and begin with the first installment which commences in this issue of The Progress. A Child Badly Burned. A six-year-old child of Freeman Mills, a colored man who lives on the plantation of Mr. Whit-aker, was very badly burned last Monday afternoon. It seems that the child with several others had bean playing in the fire when its dress ignited and almost burned off of it.

Another child was at the pump in the yatd "when the one appeared in a bright blaze and had it not been for a bucket of water thrown by the larger one it would have been burned to death. Mrs. Whitaker went to the assistance and applied what remedies she had at hand until the doctor arrived. The child will recover. and Mrs.

S. Meyer, have returned to their homes in Richmond. Mr. R. Parker went to Richmond Wednesday.

He is- expected to return today with Mrs. Parker, who has been at the Memorial Hospital for treatment. Mr. Willie Meyer, who is attending the Medical College of Virginia, at Richmond, spent a a few days here this week with his parents, Mr. and Mrs.

S. Meyer. Mrs. Eldred Quarles and Miss Pauline Baldwin, of Baltimore, who have been spending a few weeks the guests of Mr. and Mrs.

Raymond C. Dunn, have returned home. Mr. R. L.

Deaton, who-recent ly went to Statesville to become manager of the Steele Knitting Mills, is here this week making arrangements to remove his family to Statesville. The Rev. J. E. Holden goes to the Ridgeway Circuit and the Rev.

L. T. Singleton, of South-port, takes his place here as pastor of the M. E. Church.

Mr. Holden has done good work during the four years he has spent with us and we regret to see him leave, but we wish him still greater success in his new field. His friends here are many, for everybody knew him, and their best wishes will go with him. He expects to removed his family about next Thursday to Ridgeway. Notice.
