Cooper-Barrow Wedding.
Au event of more than usual
interest was the marriage of Miss
Katherine Cooper, of this place,
to Mr. J. L. Barrow,of Whigham,
Tuesday evening at 7 o’clock. On
account of recent sorrow in the
family, the occasion was very
quiet and simple, only the rela¬
tives and a few friends being
present.
The bride and groom came
down the stairs to the strains of
Mendelssohn’s Wedding March,
played by Mrs. C. G. Lott. Bir¬
die Hill preceded the bridal cou¬
ple, bearing the ring on a white
satin pillow. “Hearts and Flow¬
ers” was played in an undertone,
while Rev. Jesse M. Dodd, in his
beautiful and impressive manner,
made them husband and wife.
The bride was elegantly clad in
going-away gown of blue cloth,
with a large blue hat. She car¬
ried a shower bouquet of white
carnations.

pression of the Pelham High

evening gave proof of excellent
training.

ber was well rendered, and re¬
ceived with delight by the au¬
dience. Those who took part were
Misses Inez Lord, Wiley Daniel,
Marie McDonald, and Joe Hand,
Raymond Kiug and EwartTwitty.
“How the LaRue Stakes Were
Lost,” rendered by Miss Thaxton
herself, was especially fine and
bore tribute to her marked ability.

to the Library and, together with
the fundsarising from the Bazaar,

Recital by the Classes in
Music and Expression.
Mrs. Shipp’s class in music and
Miss Thaxton’s class in expression
gave a recital at the opera house
Monday night. Despite the in¬
clement weather, the house was
filled, and the audience enjoyed
every number of the program.
That these two departments of
the school are in very competent
hands is manifest in the skill of
the pupils. To mention the at¬
tractive features would necessitate
naming each rendition in both
music and expression.
The embryo musical talent of
the very small girls was apparent,
and the skill in rendition and
conception increased by gradation
to the faultless productions of the
older members of the class.
With admirable confidence, and
with grace and ease, the members
of Miss Thaxton’s class held in
rapt attention the audiepce, de¬
lighted with the humor of the
naive little ones and the beauty
and eloqumce of the renditions
by some of the older ones.
The entertainment closed with
$1.00 PER YEAR.
