The News and Observer from Raleigh, North Carolina (2024)

Great Levy, The New York Herald of February 15th, 1886, has the following to say of Levy, the great cornet player, who appears here on the 23d: A faint ripple of applause was started, and it quickly changed into one great ocean of noise as Jules Levy, with his waxed moustache, shining pate, single eye-glass and magic horn, busted up the platform stairs, shook hands with Mr. Gilmore and bowed again and again to the audience. He first gave the 'Lost by Sullivan, and then, af er the house had given him rousing encore, played the 'Lakes of The audince would not let him off nutil he had given them his fantastic arrangement of 'Yankee The Trinity Endowment Fund. Dr. J.

B. Bobbitt, who is the agent of the Trinity endowment fund, has issued a card in which he thanks the North Carolina Methodist, offering editors of papers in their columns to aid him in his work, and states that he has freely made use of the courtesy extended He also thanks the secular press of the State for their hearty endorsem*nt of Trinity College. The following is from Dr. Bobbitt's report as Financial Secretary: resolution passed by the session of the North Carolina Conference authorized an assessment of $5,000 to supplement salaries of "the President and professors" of Trinity College. The Conference instructed me to apportion this amount to the fourteen Presiding Elders' districts, which I have done as follows: Raleigh $470 00 Durham 386 67 Greensboro 386 66 Salisbury 345 34 Statesville 345 67 Shelby 201 75 Mount Airy 99 25 Charlotte 418 66 Fayetteville 354 67 Wilmington 390 00 New Berne 464 66 Warrenton 366 67 Washington 363 34 Trinity 316 66 Total, $5,000 00 J.

B. BOBBITT, Financial Secretary. Mount Vernon. During the year ending May 1887 there were 20,000 visitors at Mr. Vernon.

The annual increase of visitors is most gratifying, and moreover all who go express themselves in, appreciative terms as to the faithful and successful efforts of the association to preserve and beautify the home of Washington. The Finance Committee reports for the year above stated: Balance from interest on endow. ment fund $3,337.54 Amount from Boat 6,863,49 66 6 6 Superintendent 1,467.17 6 Photos 700.00 Total $12,368.20 The sons of Mrs. Robert Campbell former vice Regent for Missouri presented a check for $3,000.00, to be used in the restoration of the Deer Park, which will be completed and stocked with deer by May 1888. Soon after the adjournment of Council in May '87, Mr.

Jay Gould visited Mt. Vernon, and realizing the importance protecting the estate, from a threatened encroachment, bought an adjoining piece of land, and presented it to the Association. The record of the year's prosperity was completed by this noble gift. Mrs. Lawrence Holt, of Burlington, N.

has presented to the North Carolina room in the mansion 8 handsome piece of antique furniture. The Endowment Fund is steadily growing, aud when completed the entrance fee to Mt. Vernon will be abolished. Donations to this fund may be sent to Mrs. L.

A very important event in society and one of great interest to a large number of people in the State was the marriage of Dr. I. G. Riddick and Miss Annie Dunn, which occurred at Wake Forest College Wednesday evenat 8.30 o'clock, the ceremony being performed by Rev. R.

T. Vann, in the presence of one of the largest audiences ever assembled at that The marriage occurred in the large chapel auditorium, which was decorated with rare elegance and taste, there appearing in beautiful festoons and wreaths, the richest and rarest lilies, roses and geraniums known, and festooned with that charming effect and grace that can only result from the works of many tender and deft hands guided by loving hearts. There were eight couples in attendance, who arrived with the bride and groom at the auditorium at 8.30 o'clock and entered in the following order: First the ushers, who were Messrs. D. B.

Kimball, T. E. Holding, G. C. Thompson and R.

Dickson and Henry Simmons; Misses Mary Strickland and Lena Williams; Messrs. Jack Harris and Oscar Riddick; Misses Neda Purefoy and Lizzie Dunn; Messrs. J. N. Holding and Walter Riddick.

After these came the bride and groom, preceded by two beautiful little girls, Mattie Dunn and Lizzie Allen, who were flower girls. As the attendants arrived at the altar they formed two semicircles, one by the lady attendants and one by the gentlemen attendants, the gentlemen standing just alittle to the rear of the ladies and all facing the audience. In this double semi-circle the beautiful bride and popular groom phghted their troth. The bride wore 8 lovely white satin en train, with front of moire silk, and bridal veil with orange blossoms. She carried a boquet of roses Perles de Jardin.

The bridesmaids wore white with different colored sashes, and carried choice roses, in color corresponding with that of the sashes. Master Tommie Briggs, of Raleigh, was family usher. Mr. J. H.

Grant as organist produced the inspiring wedding marches for entering and leaving auditorium. After the ceremony, the party repaired to the college hotel. and were served with a most complete and elegant spread.

Some little covering took place today, and that furnished about all the demand, which together with the efforts of the bulls, was sufficient to hold values up very well, as there no special effort made to sell. Indeed, generally trade was abandoned room traders and they lacked spirit to make an effort for even an ordinary scalping deal.

The run of the crop movement maintains pretty full figures, but found a balance in the industriously circulated reports of a good trade both at home and abroad, and the presentation of this latter feature is the principal card at present upon which operators for a rise seek to support their case.
