The Charm o IA Country Wedding. Break
fast on the Lawn.

The Charm o q Country Wedding Breaks
fast on the Lawn.
The charm of country wedding is
being felt more and more by the fash>
ionable world. Lately at prominent
wedding at Stanford, Conn. the break
fast was served on the lawn, under
the trees and by the lake. The bride,
just before leaving her guests, and
still in her shimmering white gown,
was surrounded by her bridesmaids.
By one of them she was blindfolded,
and they then danced around in ring
as she threw her bOquet Within It's
center was hidden ring, and the girl
that caught the flowers was said to be
predestlEed by fate to be the next
bride. The custom is a German one,
but loses nothing by crossing the great
sea, and is usually pretty when prac-
ticed amid such gay surroundings.
Many brides now choose to drive off
With the groom for their honeymoon in
a small open trap, drawn by some pet
horse of their own, instead of shutting
themselves up in the formidable coach
of not SO long ago. Surely this is
starting life's journey more pleasant>
ly! One gay young bride was recently
heard to say that nothing would in
duce her not to go with her pony to
the station on her wedding day. That
she should, at least, have the con-
seriousness of holding the reins at the
beginning.
A number of little novelties have
lately appeared at the breakfasts, and
they greatly help cut the fun. On the
sidebOard, or in the hall, there are
piled up innumerable little white satin
bags. They are shaped like meal bags,
and contain handful of rice. Each
guest takes one with the wedding cake,
and ne is therefore prepared to con-
tribute his share to the veritable show
err of rice that falls upon the departing
pair. Some special good fortune is
said to hang over the thrower if the
rice from his hand actually alights
upon the bride Dainty white satin
slippers filled with rice and queer little
shoes are among the table decorations
and favors. At Tuxedo not long ago
beautiful girl was married on the
veranda. 1t had been transformed in
to a bower by the use of smilax and
palms, and the entire fesuvity was
out of doors. When she and the
groom drove off the band played Gust
One Girl" and the chorus was joined
in by almost every voice present.

was reciprocated. "You misunder>

A LIVE FARMER.
He Is Making Money Growing Okra
and Millet Seeds.


and Millet Seeds.
A farmer living near Americus is
growing 5000 pounds of seed okra I'M
der contract for a seed house in Rich
mond. Last year the same farmer
raised and sold solid carload of pearl
millet seed. He is making money by
raising seeds in large quantities. Why
are not more of our farmers raising
seeds for market? A great many of
them send to Philadelphia or Detroit
for seeds of the cOmmonest vegetables,
which they plant in their gardens, pay
ing at the rate of 25 cents to 81 per
ounce for them. Is there either sense
or economy in that sort of thing? The
northern raised seeds are not whit
better than might be raised in Geor-
gia, and it often occurs that Georgia
raised seed is better adapted to the ma
tive soil and climate than any other.
Georgia ought to be furnishing water
melon seed for the whole country, but
it is fact that in the city of Savan-
nah, and doubtless in every other
Georgia city and town likewise, there
are every spring many pounds of wa
termelon seed imported from northern
seed farms Savannah News.

BLACK DEATH.
VIII 1t Reach Our Shores Is the
Question.

The Black Death has reached Europe.
Will it reach America?
For i've years the medical men of the
world have been watching the steady
westward march of the dread disease.
They have seen it journey from Hong
Kong to Bombay, from Bombay to East
Africa, to Mecca, to Turkestan, to Egypt
and finally to point in Portugal.
Europe has sought to lull herself into
the belief that the death would not come
knocking at her doors; but the disease is
already hel unwelcome guest.
1t was from Alexandria, Egypt, Tat
the disease attacked Europe. The great
Mediterranean port OF Marseilles has

Aer0naut I'm Peril.

c. c. Bonnet, the aeronaut, was in
deadly peril in the presence OF 10000
people at Ridgewood Park, Brooklyn,
Sunday, June II. He was advertised to
make an ascension, clinging to a trapeze,
and to perform acrobatic feats at a great
hight, finally descending by a parachute.
When he reached a hight Of 200 feet the
spectators noticed that he wasin trouble.
Instead Of swinging from the trapeze he
was clinging desperately to the ropes
and moving his head from side to side.
An immense crowd followed the balloon
as it drifted off towards Three Farms, a
quarter OF a mile from the park. While
above Three Farms the a%eronaut cut
loose his parachute and descended with
great swiftness into an apple tree. The
attendants climbed the tree and carried
Bennett to the ground. He was badly
bruised. The balloon collapsed shortly
afterward and came down with a rush.
The parachute was wrecked. Bennett
said the trouble was caused by a big
leak in the balloon which he did not
notice when he started. The gas es-
capped in such volume that he was forced
to move his head from side to side in an
endeavor to get fresh air. When his
head became clearer he cut loose the par
achute, which had been dashed to one of
the ropes. There was not sufficient dis
tance to admit of the opening of the
parachute and he therefore struck the
tree with great force.

ing the work Of the Union, touching
upon both the discouraging and encour-

pleasant to hear, and edifying in the pre-
sentation; that he believed the organiza-
ton stood higher in the estimation Of
the public than ever before.

Mr.. Sault then asked for an explana-
ton to the fact that the union was out
of debt, and the president replied that
one Of the most encouraging features of
the work Of the union was that it had so
many friends, and that all who had been
asked to give toward the deficit, had
| done SO most generously and willingly,
and the choral union was out of debt,
Mrs. G. T. Ranlet made a motion that a
vote Of thanks be extended to the gene.
rous patrons of the union who had turn
ed the indebtedness Of the choral union
into a surplus, which motion was voted

The Railroads Plan.

Chairman d. ]. Poster Of the State
Board Of Railroad Commissioners, has
received a notice from the Boston &
Maine and the st. %Johnsbury & Lake
Champlain railroads that at the meeting
of the commission to be held in St. Johns
bury on July 6 for further hearing rela-
tive to the Portland street crossing the
companies will present a petition to the
board embodying another plan for
abolishing the crossing in question.
The new plan to be put forward by the
two railroads is to raise the tracks of
the roads at the railroad station about
16 inches, to enlarge the under pass
north OF the station to more than double
its present size and to construct an
u%nderpass under the St. Johnsbury &
Lake Champlain railroad to connect at
the southern terminus of st. Mary's
street with the present highway leading
from the highway bridge across the
Passumpsic to the present underpass
north OF the station.
