Miss sallle Norton and Vim. L. Werner Hap
PLY Married last "Wednesday Afternoon.

On Wednesday, February Sd, 1908, 4 p.
pa., at the home of tho brides mother,
Mrs. It. A. Norton, In walhalla, Will
iiam Lemuel Werner was married to
Miss Sallie Norton, Rev. r. u. Rogers
officiating, and using the impressive
ritual of the Presbyterian church. It
was a quiet home wedding, only the
immediate families of the contracting
parties attending. During the ceremony
the bridal party stood In the bay window
of the parlor, which was artistically
decorated with oriental drapery and
ferns. The bridesmaids were Misses
Mary Stribling and Lillian Werner,
nieces of the bride and groom respec-
lively. The bride was picture OF lowell
ness In n beautiful costume of light col
ored silk of new shade, trimmed in
panne velvet and lace, the lace at throat
being caught by a handsome sunburst,
the gift of the groom. She carried beau
tifpl bouquet of white carnations. The
groom wore handsome bleck suit. The
bridesmaids were elegantly gowned, and
wore brooches of double hearts, the gift
of the bride to them, as souvenirs of the
occasion. After congratulations, a three
course dinner was served in the spacious
dining room. BY those who have en-
joyed the elegant hospitality of this
home the service of the wedding feast
can be better imagined than described.
The table was decorated in carnations.
Both parlor and dining room were dark
ened and illuminated, presenting
brilliant view.
Tie bride was the recipient of very
many handsome and valuable presents,
from relatives and numerous friends here
and elsewhere. The unusually large col
lection of remembrauces attests the love,
and esteem in which the bride is held,
many being given by friends, not we'd
ding guests.
The bride is the youngest daughter Of
the late Judge j. j. Norton, and is young
lady of great culture and rare accom-
plishments. Her amiable disposition and
gentle bearing win for her staunch
friends wherever she is known.
The groom is one of our most popular
citizens and successful business men,
being cashier of the Bank of Walhalla.
He is a native of this county, and belongs
to large and influential family.
The Courier joins with hosts of friends
in this and other States in extending con-
gratulations and best wishes for long
and happy life.
For the present, Mr.. and Mrs. Werner
will make their home with Mrs. Norton,
where they will be glad to see their
friends.

MiTiionaire,s Poor Stomacb.

The n-out stomach of the over-fed
millionaire is often paraded in the public
prints as horrible example of the evils
attendant on the possession of great
wealth. But milliOnaires are not the
only ones who are afflicted with bad
stomachs. The proportion is far greater
among the toilers. Dyspepsia and indi-
gestion are rampant among these people,
and they suffer far worse tortures than
the millionaire unless they avail them
selves of standard medicine like Greep's
August Flower, which has been favorite
household remeny for all stomach trou-
bles for over thirty.five years. August
Flower rouses the torpid liver, thus
creating appetite and insuring perfect
digestion. 1t tones and vitalizes the en-
tire system and makes life worth living,
no matter what your station. Trial bot

support to the cause.
At the evening hour DR.. j. j. Ransom,
of the Tennessee Conference, entertained
large congregation with au address
concerning. his experience in Brazil as a
missionary.
He was followed by Rev. e. o. Watson,

manner, discussed home missions.

Each Species Has a Distinct odor
DiscernibIe by Other Ants.
Each ant species appears to have its
distinctive OdOr, diseernible by Other
ants. Within each species there are
also differences of olor dependent on
the age of the colony and the age OF
the queen from whose egg its inmates
are produced. The ants organs Of
smell are its nntennae. and the anten-
nae consist, us it were. of series or
noses, each of which has 4 special task.
One nose tells the ant whether 1t Is in
its own nest or THAT of an enemy. An
other nose discrimipates between odors
of ants of the same species. bat of diff
fcrent colonies. The third serves the
purpose of discerning the scent laid
down by the ants own feet. so that it
may rctrace its steps along Its own
path. Another rose smells the ant
larvae and pupae. and the fifth nose
detects the presence of an enemy.
Thus if an ant he left with only the
four noses it will live peaceably with
alien ants, but while it has its fifth
nose it will fight the alien to the death.
Ii ants make one another'S acQuaInt-
ancc before they are twelve hours Old
they will thereafter live amicabiy to-
gether. though of different species or
subfamilics. But in three days after
hatching their criterion Of correct ant
oder is established, and they refuse to
affiliate with ants whose Odor Is not
in accord with their standard.
