“WOMANLESS WEDDING”
A GREAT SUCCESS
On Tuesday evening, March
26, 1918, the High School audi
torium was the scene of one
of the most artistic weddings
ever seen in McCrory or in any
other city of ten times its size.
The auditorium was filled to
overflowing, and the corridors
and walks for several blocks
leading up to the school build
ing was jammed with anxious
people who wished to pay
their respects to the contract
ing parties, Mr. H. W. Jerni
g*an and “Miss” Leslie Sturdi
vant, both of McCrory.
The- music, preliminary to
the marriage ceremony, ren
dered by Misses Della Jeffries,
and Freida Williams and Les
ter Lewis and “Red” Jeffries,
brought forth hearty applause.
Also the Last Rose of Summer,
sung by the “much” renowned
soloist, Chas. B. Cook, deserv
es honorable mention.
Following the musical in
troduction came the ushers,
Messrs. Lester Lewis and Jac
ob Arnof, who posed very
gracefully and introduced to
the audience the members of
the Guests of Honor and the
Bridal Party.
After the bride, “Miss” Les
lie Sturdivant and the groom
Mr. Jernigan, had wended
their way to the altar and all
members of the bridal party
together with the ring bear
er, “Little Miss” Joseph Cros
sett, and flower girl, “Little
Miss” Bob Drewry, had taken
. their respective places and
\ ere standing at attention,
“Dr.” W. W. Raney said the
folio ing ceremony in a most
impressive and earnest man
ner :
you’ll earnestly try—Let it be
known by saying “Aye”.
Sarah Ann, gaze upon this
man—Will you try to mold
him as clay in your hand?
Will you give him each week
a dime of his own—And re
quire an account of just where
it has gone?
Will you guide him in poli
tics and business to—Select
die style of his clothes and
even his shoe?
Will you never allow him to
answer you back — Employ
him at home when business is
slack?
Make him mind the children
and the garden till—The an
swer to all these is “I will.”
Is there anyone in this audi
ence who can—Say why Hi
;am should not marry Sarah
Ann?
When Hiram places this
;ing on your hand—You be
come the boss Sarah Ann.
Rule him always - with an
iron hand—And you’ll be ap
jiauded throughout this land.
I now pronounce you hus
band and wife—May your
iives be entirely free from
strife.
And to you both I give my
hand—I congratulate you Sa
rah-—But Oh! you man.
The bride was “dolled up”
in the latest bridal costume,
and in every particular “she”
was an object of admiration
and envy. The occasion was
a howling success and had only
one thing to mar the happi
ness of all attendants, and this
svas the constant crying and
interruptions made by “Little
Miss” George Barber, the sis
ter of the bride. “Little Miss”
George seemed so grieved that
“her” big sister, “Miss” Leslie
as marrying out of the fam
ily.
At the conclusion of the
ceremony the usual congratu
lations were extended and
swreet smiles of contentment
ould be seen twinkling on the
tender lips of “Mrs.” H. W.
j Jemigan, while the sombre
; countenance of Mr. Jernigan
i indicated that he was supreme
ly happy because of his re
cent accomplishment.
Probably the most interest
ing feature of the “Woman
less Wedding” is the fact that
the neat little sum of $78.00
j was collected to be used in re
; pairing the Methodist Parson
! age.
Postmaster and Mrs. A. S.
| Thompson of DeView, spent
the first of the week in Searcy
juests of their daughter, Miss
Esther, who is attending Gal
loway College.
Dearly beloved! In as much
as Sarah Ann—Has decided to
marry this "man,
And has succeeded in drag
ging him here—It becomes my
simple duty clear
To ask of them these ques
tions, a few—As. to just what
each one of them will do.
Hiram, wilt thou take this
woman for thy wedded wife,
—And promise to obey her
each day of your life?
Will you always greet her
with a tender caress—And buy
for her each year, a brand new
d ess?
Will you stay at home every
night in the week?—And an
swer her always in accents
meek?
Will you give her all the
money you make?—And nev
er for your own a penny take?
If to do all these things,
I
SOME EATS
To give the public an idea
of what an eating place Mc
| Crory is, Mr. Geo. H. Proulx
has given us a statement of
the amount of beef he has used
in his popular restaurant since
he opened the same in his new
location October 1, 1917, to
March 16, 1918.
During the above short per
iod, and notwithstanding the
jfact that the meatless days
were strictly adhered to, Mr.
Proulx received from a
packing house in Memphis 43
forequarters of beef of which
the total weight was 5,721
pounds and Mi's. Proulx cook
ed every pound of it.
Taking into consideration
that the place was never open
on Sunday, Thanksgiving or
Christmas and that there are
two other restaurants in the
city, one can see that we eat
in McCrory. Mr. Proulx makes
a specialty of stewed beef and
orown gravy and the celebrat
ed southern baked hash, hence
the large amount of meat con
sumed. adv.

Medicine vs. Food
Do not buy something which
you already have. You have
food which you feed your
horses, cattle and sheep, but
when you want medicine, buy
only medicine. That is what
you get in B. A. Thomas’ Stock
Remedy. We sell it and guar
antee it to be medicine. We
tell you that it will tone up
the entire system of your stock
an aid digestion, thereby caus
ing them to get ail the food
value out of the grain that
you feed them. Red Cross
Drug Co., McCrory. Adv.
