Sharp, of Grenada, than whom there
t ,s not a more stalwart character to
Way.be found. The young man fortunate
ly inherits the splendid characteris
xxxjrics of the family and has already
shown that he is thoroughly- caps
ble and that he can be relied upon
to meet properly those demands of
society that appeal the youth who
j readily hearkens to the counsel * of
(his eiders. When the Gredana boj^s
were volunteering to defend the flag!
against German treachery, notwith
standing his age he was among the i
j most earnest and aggressive about
enlisting. He was not given the priv
ilege to go across the sea, but remain. I
ed in the service until the armistice,
When he reached home, he at once i
applied himself diligently to business
and became a partner with his father
in the Sharp Fumiture Co.
Mrs. Sharp is a daughter of Mr. |
and Mrs. J. H. Caldwell, one of Char-|Sat
lest on's best and most prominent
families. She comes from a home
whose parents still treasure the sa
j cred obligations of parenthood as the
j first and most consoling duties of liv
1 ing. She is a lady of special charms
j of heart and person and will meet
j most properly the sacred obligations
'which she has assumed.
Immediately after the wedding, the
happy couple left for a short bridal
j tour.
j Upon their arrival in Grenada they
will be at home to their friends a' the
I residence of Mrs. E. Chisholm,
