Last night Mr.. W. T. Albea. bsggags
master on the Savannah Valley Railroad
accidentally fell out of his car at Cooks
cross tie and his right hip was badly
spraned. He will be rosdy for duty again
in few days.
j, On yesterday morning at 8 80 o'clock, at
the home of the bride in the city, Mr. j
Fl. Collins and Miss Lille Barr, eldest
daughter Of the late W. F Barr, were
united in the holy bonds Of matrimopy,
Rev. J. N. 81. Summerel performing the
ceremony. Only a few intimate friends
and the relatives of the happy couple were
present to witness the ceremony. Sh ortly
after the wedding the couple left on the
Savannah Valley train to spend few
days in Atlanta viewing the Exposition.
Both the bride and groom reside in this
city, and have host of friends whom We
join in extending congratulations.
Mr.. Samuel o. Sullivan, youngest son of
the late N K. Sullivan, died at the home
of bis mother in this city laat Sunday
evening at o'clock, in the 10th year of
his age The young man was attacked
with bilious fever about four weeks ago,
but two weeks preceding his death he had
recovered sufficiently to be up again for
day or two, when he relapsed and gradu-
ally grew worse until death claimed him
as its victim. The death of this young
man is peculiarly sad. and has brc dghL
sorrow to a wide circle of relativ a and
friends, who deeply aympaihize with the
devoted mother, who is almost heart
broken over the loes OF her ''baby boy"
who, 1t seemed. .:ad bright and happy
future before him We had known the
young man intimately since his infancy,
and can testify to hia many 6ne Character
istics. He was kind-haarted. modest,
iovial and generous 10 fault, always cour-
teous and accommodating. and strictly
upright and temperate In short, he was
q model boy, and had the confidence and
good will of all who knew him, which
should be great consolation to the loved
ones who are left to cherish his memory.
Mr.. Sullivan graduated from the Patrick
Military Institute Last Jnne, and being
possessed of bright mind stood well in
his classes. While be had never made
public profession of religion, be was
regularly attendant upon the services OF
the Baptist Church and jealous member
Of ts Sunday School. On Monday after
noon the remains were consigned to their
last resting place in Silver Brook ceme

at the First Baptist Church by the pastor
Rev. O L. Martin. During the services

In commercial life depend in the hrst

persons would pass by without observ-

barrels they would soon rot, though
passing over but very short distance
OF travel; and vet when properly barrel
ed they can be sent thousands OF miles,
even over the toughest ocean voyage, In
nerfect security. This Is owing to a
fact discovered years ago, without any
one knowing particularly the reason,
that an apple ro-ted from bruise only
when the skin was broken. An apple
can be pressed So as TO have indentations
over its whole surface, without any
danger Of rottiny, provided the SKIN Is

Among curiosities lately acquired by

due 10 some very remarkable acquisi-

ing a copy OF the secret instructions to

"a forced loan in 1926. No other printed
copy is at present known to exist. and
Mr.. Gardiner, while writing his history
Of the time, was obliged 20 refer 10 q
manuscript in the state paper Office.
The interest Of this copy is much en-
HANGED by its being addressed to the
county Of Nottingham, where Charles
was destined TO commence the civil war
10 years afterward, and by its bearing
his signature on the first page of the
text.
With this is 10 be mentioned a copy
of the 1888 edition Of Sternhold and

embroidered with silver, with portraits
of Charles and Henrietta Maria worked

see that The Daily Telegraph has
inaugurated discussion in its columns
as to the Proper Age for Love, and
much that is silly has been addressed
to that journal. The first thing TO de-
eide would, should imagine, be, what
love is. II that sort Of infatuation be
meant which occasionally gets the bet
ter Of a sane human being. and leads
him or her, as the case may be, 70 gush
and pine and NOPE, there is no age
proper for il. II, on the other hand, Is
meant certain feeling Of affection felt
by one person for another of the oppo-
site sex, any age between 20 and 40 is
proper for IL.
For the follies of love poets and nov
elists are 10 blame The former exalt it
as something pleasurable beyond belief
the latter too often make their tales
turn upon two silly persons insisting on
marrying against all practical sense.
And this fidelity or folly is put forward
as the noblest Of virtues. Love may set
tie down into reasonable attachment,
but as a rule it is mere temporary SEN
sation. People meet each other, and,
after a slight acquaintance, feel that
they cannot live apart. In nine cases
out Of ten they eventually find that they
get on apart excellently. Even friend
ship is more of habit than anything
else. London Truth.
