OAK TREE, VA, Feb. 20.-One OF the
prettiest weddings of the season took
Mace Tuesday afternoon at the YORK
River Presbyterian Church, when Miss
Beulah Warner Ewall became the bride
of Mr.. Eugene Clay Furman. The church
was deliberately decorated IN green ana
white. Promptly and half past three
o'clock the bridal party entered IN the
following order, to the strains OF the
wedding march beautifully rendered by
Prof. Bishop: First, the bridesmaids,
Misses Rebie EWall and Grace Slater,
then the ushers, Messrs. Charles Styon-
broush and Harvey Cooley. Then came
the sroow with his best man. Mr.. Frank
Ewall and last the bride, who was given
away by her brother, Mr.. Willie Ewa!l.
This most beautiful and impressive cere-
mony was performed by her pastor, Rev.
W. j. King.

bridesmaids We're dressed in brown and

age-thc principle OF harmonious

this age-the principle OF harmonious
agreement in trade. This has been con-
demned by those who claim that all such
agreements tend to do away with COM
petition, which is the ''life OF trade.
1t. seems to us, however, that it is very
much more sensible to act in concert,
as these southern manufacturers are
doing, than to go into a, war OF COM
petition, which, so far from being the
life of trade, must eventually be the
death of trade. War always means
destruction and death.
The cotton manufacturers know when
the market is we'll supplied with goods,
and they know what quantities of goods
are necessary TO meet the demand. 1t
is certainly much better for all concerned
for them to cooperate and make their
OUTPUT equal to the demands than to over
stock the market and then be compelled
TO shut down for an indefinite period
until the surplus be absorbed. In the
meantime prices may have been democrat
lied and some of the factories may have
been compelled to wind up their affairs.
Ehe transaction Of business is matter
of common sense.

COMMON SENSE IN BUSINESS.

The Southern cotson-Yarn Spinners'
Asst citation has decided to curtail produc-
ton for four months by about one-third
Of the present output. This Will be
accomplished by abandoning night work.
The market is said TO be overstocked
with supplies OF nearly every grade OF
cotton yarns, and there is no stability
to prices.
Instead of going ahead and working on
full time ana still further increasing the
surplus stocks. or, instead, on the other
hand, of going into cut-throat competi-
ton and selling goods at less than the
cost of production. these cotton manu-
facturers have held a conference and
decided to cooperate and do what will,
in their opinion, most surely meet the
demands Of the situation and promote
the general welfare.

Difference In Eggs.

The eggs of a scavenger hen are not
fit to be eaten," says DR.. J. II. Kellogg,
writing in Modern Medicine. MY at
tention was called to this number of
years ago. A lady said She could not
eat our eggs. She wanted .sunflower
eggs told her we had the best eggs
in the country, but she wanted sun
flower eggs l asked her what she
meant by that. and she said that an old
German at home fed his chickens on
sunfiower seeds, and that the eggs
were remarkably sweet. Some of the
eggs were sent for, and this was found
to be true. Eggs do partake of the
nature of the food which has been
eaten. When chickens are fed on dead
calves, dead hogs, or other dead ami.
mails, their eggs will partake of the
strong. rank favors that they have
swallowed with their food"

Porridre-scotch and English.

How is it that agricultural folk in the
south of England will not take at all to
porridge as the Scotch peasantry do?
Possibly the explanation is that for the
most part they know nothing whatever
about this admiral BILE food, which makes
bone and muscle, and is, moreover. so
palatable to the majority Of people
who have tried it for a while. The
rural workers could not, it is true. often
afford to take milk with their porridge,
as the well-to-do people in the south Of
England who eat this food do; but
Scotch peasants seem to prefer porridge
and salt to porridge and milk. There
was an excellent dish, at one time in
favor il the south. but which has gone
entirely out of Extraordinarily, or
furmenty, as it was sometimes called.
It was boiled wheat with milk, spice
and sugar.-London Express.
