HUTHWAITE GOLDEN WEDDING.

MR. AND MRS. T. H. SEARSON.

Two well-known Huthwaite residents, Mr. and Mrs. T.H. Searson, of "Penrhyn," Common Road, have recently celebrated the 50th anniversary of their wedding day. They were married on Codnor Free Church on June 1st., 1882, by the Rev. Henry Fathergill.
Mr. Searson is a native of that district, and lived there until he came to Huthwaite 28 years ago, when he took an official appointment at New Hucknall Colliery, being the holder of a mine manager's certificate. He is proficient in many branches of art and science, and has been a lecturer at evening schools in various places for 40 years.
Mr. Searson has always been a member of the United Methodist Free Church, and he possesses the Sunday School Union diploma for 42 years' work, and a bronze medal given by a religious publication for 35 years similar service. He is 83 years of age.
Mrs. Searson, who was 75 on wednesday, belongs to Penrhyn (Carnarvon). She was trained for the teaching profession at Oxford, where she heard John Ruskin lecture. As a schoolgirl she remembers Matthew Arnold as a school inspector. She subsequently did many years teaching in the Codnor district. Mr. and Mrs. Searson are highly respected by all classes, and many mining and evening school students still think of their former instructor with gratitude. Good health is enjoyed by Mr. and Mrs. Searson, who have three daughters and four sons.

HUTHWAITE WEDDING.

BARTON BUTTERY.

The Rev. W.L. Boulton officiated at the wedding in Huthwaite Parish Church on Saturday morning, at which the contracting parties, well known in the district, were Mr. Oswald Harry Barton, the eldest son of the late Mr. T. Barton, and of Mrs. Barton, 49, Langford Street, Sutton, and Miss Bertha Buttery, the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Buttery, 163, Sutton Road, Huthwaite.
Mr. Barton is a native of Sutton, and was a member of Skegby Parish Church choir until recently. His working career has been spent with the Mansfield and Sutton Co-operative Society and he is now in the Kirkby Road Branch. Miss Buttery is a native of Skegby, and has been employed at the Huthwaite C.W.S. factory. Owing to the recent bereavement in the bridegroom's family, the wedding was of a quiet character.
Mr. E. Morley (St. Modwen's, Sutton), played nuptial music on the organ, and rendered as the bridal party entered the church,...

Bride's and Attendant's Dresses.

The bride was given away by her father, ... The bridesmaid was Miss Ethel Lee (Tibshelf), a fellow worker of the bride, ... Two juvenile attendants were Miss Kathleen Buttery and Miss Dorothy Gittins (cousins of the bride). Mr. Ivor Barton was the best man, and a reception was held at the home of the bride's parents, attended only by intimate friends.
The happy couple subsequently left for the honeymoon at Tewkesbury, the bride travelling in rust coloured wool georgette under a black pony skin coat, and hat to match the dress. The wedding cake was given by the bridegroom's mother, and there were gifts from the C.W.S. factory operative Staff and the bridegroom's later father's colleagues on the railway.
After the Church ceremony the bridal bouquet was placed on the late Mr. Barton's grave in Sutton Cemetery. Among the congratulations was a telegram from Miss Naylor (Crewe) formerly of Sutton and an intimate friend of the bride. Mr. and Mrs. Barton will reside in Stoneyford Lane, Sutton.

TELEPRINTING ON THE L.N.E.R.

The L.N.E.R. have arranged to instal additional teleprinting machines in the north of England. Teleprinters ae already in use for transmitting messages between London, Cambridge and Norwich, Newcastle and York, and Edinburgh and Glasgow, and they have proved so succesful that not only has work been speeded up, but the capacity of certain telegraph lines has been increased by 100 per cent
By means of the present teleprinters, messages typed, for example, in York are simultaneously reproduced in page form in Newcastle, and vice versa. Additional teleprinters are to be provided at Sunderland, Middlesborough and Darlington to enable these stations to transmit instantaneous printed messages to each other and to York and Newcastle. The existing Morse key and sounder instruments will be retained for night use and emergency purposes.
