A marriage of more than usual in-!
terest was solemnized at high noon on
Thursday of last week when Miss j
Gertrude J. Baldwin became the bride I
of Dr. James K. Wyehe, a prominent
and popular dentist of Greensboro.
The wedding took place at the home
of Dr. and Mrs. Royal Farrar on North
Kim street, and was witnessed by rel-atives
and friends of the contracting
parties. The home was beautifully
decorated, a cluster of wedding bells
suspended from an -irch of smilax be-ing
highly suggestive of the'occasion.
The little ribbon bearers. Martha Far-rar,
Sallie Schenck, Mabel Wyche and
Sarah Poole. carrying candles, were
followed by the best man, Mr. Benja-min
Wyche. and the dame of honor.
Mrs. Eva Tyson. Entering tcigethei I
the couple stood directly under the
wedding bells while the ceremony was
impressively performed by I)r C. W. i
ltyrd, pitstor of West Market Street
Methodist church.
The bride is a highly accomplished
and attractive young woman who has
spent much of her life abroad and has
a large circle of friends in Greensboro,

Those Who Have Answered the Sum-mons
During the Paul Week.
Miss Rodena Wright.
A little over 40 years ago Miss Rodena
Wright, daughter of John and Elizabeth
Wright, was born in Catham county.
When about seven years of age a severe
illness caused a slight deformity of her
body, but happily did not effect her
mind, which was unusually bright and
retentive. Being of a cheerful disposition
she became a favorite with all who came
in contact with her. holding their af-fection
and esteem to the day of her
death which occurred on Thursday of
last week, at the home of W. W.
Hockett. three miles east of Centre
church-
Deceased was a birthright member of
the society of Friends and one of the.
first graduates of Guilford college. Some
years ago she was recorded a minister
in the Society of Friends, which place
she filled with much credit, often lieing
called upon to conduct funerals among
other denominations. A little over six
years ago she took up the work as
paster of Centre local meeting, anil had
bei le so fixed in the minds anil hearts
of the congregation that it is doubtful
whether she could ever have gotten them
to agree to give her up hail she wanted
to make a change.
Making her home with the family of
D. L. Ilodgin. she occasionally visited
among her members or the people of the
community, these occasions being always
looked forward to with pleasure by her
friends and neighbors, in whose hearts
sweet memories of Tier will be kept
green as of one who was the embodi-ment
of Christian virtues and Christian
character.
On Sunday. January 12, she accom-panied
the family of W. W. Hockett
home from church, and on the following
day while calling at the home of J. K.
Hockett she Buffered a stroke of
paralysis from which she never re-covered.
It was while on her knees at
prayer that the summons came, her
voice failing as her petition ended. When
she did not rise she was lifted to a
chair and a physician called. Failing to
rally except at brief intervals when, in
her conscious moments, she expressed
joy at the thought of "going home."
she remained at tin- home of Mr.
Hockett until Thursday night, when she
passed peacefully away.
Funeral services were held Friday, at-tended
by a large gathering of sorrow-ing
friends, a number of whom accom-panied
the body to South Fork. Chat-ham
county, where interment was made.
following other children survive: W. F.,
H. H., and A. McLamb and Mr*. F. W.
White, of Salemburg.

In the advertisement of Crawford &

an error was made which we hasten to

the type read, it should have been 25 per

Has called to the mistake explained that
2u per cent off was sufficient reduction
for such a well known and reliable

with her mother from Warren county.
Dr. Warren is located at Dunn, where
he enjoys a line practice. With Mrs.
Warren he left for Dunn just after the

SIDES HELD FOR MANSLAUGHTER
Case is Sent by Judge Eure to Supe-rior
Court.
The case of the state against Wil-liam
F. Sides came before Judge Eure
in the city court Tuesday, the result
of the hearing being that Sides must
stand a jury trial in the Superior
Court on the charge of manslaughter.
As will be recalled, the defendant
was driving the ill-fated automobile
at the time of the fearful accident
which resulted in the killing of young
Royall Battle a few weeks ago. The
fact that he was driving the machine
without a license and also exceeding
the speed limit as fixed by the state,
he laid himself liable to arrest for do-ing
an unlawful act, and it is on this
point that the state makes out its
case against him.
At the preliminary hearing Sides
was represented by ex-Judge W. P.
Bynum. Messrs. ,R. C. Strudwick and
G. S. Biadshaw. \
Much sympathA is felt for the de-fendant
who, whik technically guilty
of the violation of eoth city ordinance
and state law, is leeply distressed
over the deplorablf accident which
caused the death of his young friend.
His bond for $500 wi8 continued for
his appearance in Superior court.

In the passing of their beloved pastor

Mr. George F. Fisher.
Friends in the city were shocked to
hear of the death of Mr. (ieorge F.
Fisher, which occurred Tuesday morn-ing
at his home on Spring Garden street,
after a slight illness which, while it had
caused his confinement to his room for
several days, was not considered serious.
Deceased had lived in Greensboro for
several years, being employed as book-keeper
by the South Atlantic Lumber
company. He was a man of kindly dis-position
and genial manners and was
liked by all who knew him. He was 67
years of age and a veteran of the war
between the States, going through the
war as a Confederate volunteer. He was
born in New Bern and lived part of his
life in the North. He is survived by his
widow and six children. One son, Mr.
George Frank Fisher, and five daughters,
Mrs. McMillan, of Kansas; Mrs. Frank-lin,
of Chicago; Mrs. Shipman, of High
Point; Mrs. F. E. Harlee, of Greensboro,
and Miss Fay Fisher, of Greensboro.
His sister, Mrs. Eliza Rogers, lives in
High Point and one brother lives in
Chicago.
In order to give the children time to
reach the state from their distant homes,
the funeral will not be held until today,
when interment will be made at High
Point. Services will be conducted by
Rev. R. Murphy Williams, pastor of the
Presbyterian church of the Covenant, in
Greensboro, of which Mr. Fisher was a
consistent and devoted member.
