Allie Denham we're quietly married
at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. j.
A. Gibbs in Dresden Tuesday after
noon at 4 o'clock, Rev. Mayo, of the
Baptist Church, administering the

The young people managed to
give their friends surprise. Miss

a social visit IN Dresden. Sudden
ly it was discovered that Mr.. Jones
had disappeared from his post, and
before anyone suspected what was
going on the marriage had taken
place.
Miss Denham possesses many of
the happy faculties that attract
warm, honest friends, and Mr.. Jones
is popularity known among the rail-
road employees as conductor on the

friendship was something to b,
priced; the essence of warm near,
and broad mind, free from thai
sordidness that would use hi:
| friends for stepping stones to place
or fortune. but given in exchange
for what he esteemed true worth.
When first met him in 1851, he
was in the flush of his young man
hood just from college, surrounded
with the luxuries which wealth and
culture bring. But he was the same
hearty, sterling. sensible man then
that he was and has been since the
fortunes of war swept away his
property and left him to battle
with hard conditions.
After leaving college he studied
law under his father, who was one
of the soundest lawyers the bar Of
Tennessee had. He soon forged
his way to the front and held his
place as long as he practiced. In
the clearness of his opinions he re-
minded me of Judge John Somers.
No matter how intricate the prob
lem, nor how voluminous and con-
fused the testimony, his mind nee-
er become misty, but he had the
rare faculty of passing a strong
light through all its mazes and
making it plain as day.
In his politics before the war he
was Wing of the John Bell school;
after the war. he was a Democrat
of the Grover Cleveland school.
Concerning that which most con-
Germs us ALL his opinions on the
subject Of religion, it must be said
in truth that he was for many
years much perplexed and was
what the world is pleased TO call a
skeptic, soul searching for the
light who has failed to find the
guide or to follow directions.

Are tender over drowning flies,

At last he beat his music out,
There lives more faith In honest doubt
Believe me, than in half the creeds.
He fought his doubts and gathered

He would not make his Judgment

And laid them, thus he come at length

GSY0F THE people of the republics
l8I and countries of Central and
6s1ceAy South America fully realized
By WILLIAM J. BUCHANAN, Director -GsneruI
[ oY couaTESE or coLLIER'S WEEKLY,

GSY0F THE people Of the republics
l@I and countries Of Central and
laamSnI South America fully realized
t.RYe.A to how great an extent mlsin-
formation with regard to their several
countries exists in the United States
and Canada, the Pan-Amerlcan Exposi-
ton would be taxed beyond its limit to
provide space for the exhibits that
would come from those countries to
enlighten the people Of the United
States and Canada concerning their
neighbors to the southwark. If, on the
other hand, the people Of the United
States and Canada knew to any ap-
preciable degree Of the wide opportuni-
ties for the profitable investment Of
money and energy which offer them
selves in Central and South America,
they would not require such exhibits
to awaken their interest, nor would
such opportunities long remain un-
known or unpossessed.
Tho object of the Exposition.
The ideal had in view by those who
planned the Pan-American Exposition
and toward the accomplishment Of
which nothing Is being left undone
that energy and effort can bring about
or suggest Is that In all that apper-
tains to the Industrial and intellectual
development Of the countries Of the
Western Hemisphere the Pan-Ameri-
can Exposition shall occupy the posi-
tion Of a great International "Informa-
tion Clearing House" While interest
ing millions as beautiful spectacle,
1t will afford an opportunity to the
peoples of the three Americas to be-
come better acquainted with each 9th
er, and it will prove very prominent
factor, too In developing proper and
just appreciation in each country of
the Industrial wants and trade possi-
bilties of their neighboring countries
Of the Western Hemisphere.
While their view Of the duty and
task imposed upon them In this regard
has been broad the generosity and pub
lie spirit Of the promoters and man.
agement Of the Exposition in provid-
ing for the setting Of the Exposition
a magnificent, fairylike spectacle in
landscape and building effects and In
arranging for the sumptuous, intellcc-
tual entertainment of visitors within
the grounds have been broader. 1t Is
safe, / believe, to now risk the asser-
