AMACKER-MUIR.

In the parlors of beautiful home
on the crest of historic Missionary
Ridge, the marriage of Mr.. Amos
Kent Amacker aud Miss Elizabeth
Muir was solemnized on Nov. 9th at
2:so O'Clock p. m, Rev. ii. w. Knicker-
booker of Lake Providence, La, off,
ciating.
Mr.. Amacker comes from an old
and we'll known family of Amite
parish, La. His father, an able lawyer,
has for years been prominent factor
in State politics. Mr.. Amacker fol-
10 wing in the footsteps of his father,
adopted the law as his profession and
has already established a lucrative
practice in New Orleans, where be
makes his home. Knowing his tall
ents and energy we feel safe in pre-
dieting for him foremost place at the
bar of Louisiana. The lady of his
choice is we'll known to the people Of
our parish. She is of Scotch parent
age and possesses to an exceptional
degree the gentle, though sturdy, and
reyerent characteristics of her people.
The salient features of her character
are purity and sweetness. And,
though it be not SO in all cases, her
go al seems to have nodded her body
into perfect harmony with itself, and
| in her case Emerson's position is emil
nently true, that "the material is but
the dial-plate of spiritual" In her
presence one breathes an atmosphere
| untainted by the sordid and earthly.
Whatever the future has in store,
Mr.. Amacker will never have greater
cause for congratulation than for hav-
ing won the hand of this fair lady.
The wedding was quiet yet elegant.
The parlors were exquisitely decorated
with green house plants, ferns and
chrysanthemums. During the playing
of beautiful wedding march the hap
py pair advanced into the room and in
the solemn hush that followed, they
were pronounced oman and wife,"
The spirituelle beauty of the bride was
emphasized by her simple dress of
white silk, trimmed with chiffon and
lace. and her ornaments of pearl.
After receiving the congratulations of
their friends the bridal party and
guests drove to Chattanooga where a
sumptuous lunch was served. At 6
O'Clock Mr.. and Mrs. Amackcr lett for
Atlanta amid showers of rice and
good wishes.
| After few days at the Exposition
they will be al home to their friends
at 1928 Baronne street, New Orleans.

It 10 radical mistake to forget that
the one industry for which the coun-
, tsy has partically unlimited resources
and opportunities, and Into which II
Invites all Its surplus labor at any
time and all the surplus LABOR Of other
Countries, must In tho nature Of
things. be overfull always. Il 10 an
accident, more accurately . calamity,
Il climatic adverslties make the yield
20 short that those who have any crop
can sell 1t at a high prica. For the
farmers, taken as a whole, tits always
. calamity to expend the seed and the
labor necessary to raise y crop Of CO.,
000. 600 bushels, and then to raise only
!400, 000, 900 bushels. The theorists
may figure on supposed farm prices as
much us they like, but the, fact rc-
mains that 1t is always q disaster to
spend labor for the natural Yield from
O, 0o0. 900 acres, and then to get only
the natural yield from n, 000, 600 acres.
It is also true that the farmers Ia
the older states are greatly embarras-
sed, not to say impoverished, by the
competition with richer and more dis
tant lands which cheap transpo. tati0n
brings into the same market. Orange
county butter finds Ohio and Illinois
In the way. Dairy farms once the
richest IN New York are now made
almost worthless by the cheaper milk,
cheaper land and labor Of Northern
Vermont and Western New York.
Genesee wheat, once the standard,
sees cheaper wheat from Dakota roll
eastward ON Central freight trains.
But will somebody tell Us how boun.
|ty on exports Of wheat would tend to
lessen this interior competition?
Would 1t not, on the contrary, inevl-
tably increase beyond all reason or
