THE GOLD AND BLACK VOL. I. KANNAPOLIS, N. C. 1940 GREAT TRAGEDY IN MISSIONARY News has just been re- ceived that Miss Irene Rum- ple has been convei’ted into stew by the Billiken Savages in Africa. Miss Rumple was touring that country distri- buting chewing gum and lecturing on “How to stay thin by perpetual motion.” News was sent to the Black and Gold by Chief Demon Rum by radio. This great tragedy has striken us all dumb. NEW HOTEL OPENED Miss Edna Brown has leased the new hotel, Sas- perilla, and opened for busi- ness yesterday. This is a model hotel provided with a bird bath, a refrigerating system, a maid for exercis- ing dogs and all the other modern inconveniences. Miss Brown is well qualified to run a hotel as she had much training at the famous Cline Boarding .House when only a child. It is said she often neglected her books to watch the cooks. FIRST WOMAN GOVERNOR OF NORTH CAROLINA Miss Evelyn Rumple of Kannapolis, N. C. has just been elected governor of North Carolina. During her campaign she has gained the support of all the parties. She is very skilled in the science of politics. It is now hoped that North Carolina will enter into an era of prosperity under the slogan, “Rumple for the People.” HOME RUN QUEEN SIGNS UP FAMOUS MANAGER Miss Pearl Maulden, world famous base ball player, to- day announced that she had signed up Ty Cobb as mana- ger of her team of young women, known as “The Ath- letic Amazons of America.” Miss Mulden knocked 666 home runs last year and is considered a marvel on the diamond. She is a native of North Carolina and her state is justly proud of her. MISS HARRIS MARRIES MR. SECHLER A social event of the win- ter season was the wedding of Miss Janie Harris and Mr. Ralph Sechler, which took place at the First Methodist church on October 1st. The church was beau- tifully decorated with squash vines and sunflowers. A en- joyable musical program was rendered before the proces- sion by Miss Iona Piano, ac- companied by Mr. Blow N. Wheeze on his harmonica. The first of the attendents to enter were the four ushers, Roy Propst, William Davis, Clement Smith and Coy Bea- ver. Next the bridesmaids in their lovely cheese cloth dresses and boquets of morning glories came down the aisle. Miss Edna Brown wore emerald green; Miss Emma Cline wore scarlet; Miss Mildred Rogers, yellow; Miss Virginia Wiggins, pur- ple. The mother of the groom acted as flower girl; the father of the bride, as ring- bearer. This little change from the usual custom was very charming. The maid of honor, Miss Kat Correll wore a gown of red, white and blue, and car- ried a boquet of cherries. Mrs. Eugene Funderburk, sister of the bride, was ma- tron of honor. She was love- ly in crimson and pink and carried hollyhocks. The bride entered in on the arm of her brother, who gave her away. She wore white which was charmingly set off by dashes of black, and black gloves and slippers. The happy young couple left for Iceland on a honey moon. After October 6th, they will be at home on 6666 New- lywed Street, Honeymoon Town.
