POLICEMAN HUNTER MARRIES.
-----
Takes to Wife Miss Emma Austin - The Ceremony.
Policeman James F. Hunter felt that "a policeman's lot was a happy one" when he led to the altar last night, Miss Emma Austin, daughter of Mr. John Austin. The ceremony took place at the residence of the bride's father. When Rev. Dr. Stagg stepped forward to "pronounce sentence," the parlor was filled with a happy company of witnesses. The bride and groom were preceded into the room by First Sergeant Baker, of the police force, who acted as best man, and Miss Mattie Austin, sister of the bride and her attendant. The ceremony was particularly pretty. Immediately at its conclusion, after hasty, but hearty, congratulations were given, and received, Mr. and Mrs. Hunter drove to the Seaboard depot, taking the train for Monroe. They will spend several days with friends, after which they will return to Charlotte and will reside at the bride's father's. A number of presents expressed the esteem of friends, noticeably in the lot being a handsome chamber set from the police force. The bride is an attractive young woman, amiable, bright and clever. She has a large circle of friends.
The groom is an efficient and generally esteemed member of the police force.

DEATH OF MRS. HUNTER
-----
A Young Wife Called Away in Her Youth and Happiness.
Mrs. Emma Hunter, wife of ex-Policeman Hunter, died Sunday night at 9:15 o'clock at her home on South McDowell street, of fever. Mrs. Hunter was taken sick three weeks ago. She was a strong, healthy young woman but the disease soon made sad inroads on her constitution and she went rapidly down. Sunday she was desperately ill, and hope was abandoned. That night she passed away.
Deceased was 21 years of age. She was a daughter of the late J. D. Austin, and a sister of Messrs. Louis and Edgar Austin and Mrs. Fred Sawyer.
Seven months ago she was married, and she and her husband had a bright and apparently long life before them. The blow to him is crushing. Mrs. Hunter was a member of the Second Presbyterian church. she was seldom missing from the sanctuary, and was always interested in the work of the church. She was a fine young woman-earnest in purpose; loyal to truth and faith and withal most estimable.
The funeral services were conducted yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock at the residence on South McDowell street by Rev. Walter Lingle. The pall-bearers were: Messrs. T. G. Stenhouse, Erskine McCall, Chas. shelby, Ed Seahorn and J. S. Withers.
