and to the further fact that
there was an abundance of
wheat rust spores on the old
wheat stuble and straw of last
years crop. These spores, be-
ing blown about by the wind
have fallen upon the barbery
leaves, producing the yellow
of rust seen there. The
spores from these cluster cups
are now ready to be blown to the
young wheat. If the weather
remains damp and muggy there
willprobably ne heavy wheat
rust infection both from the bar
berry and from red spores blown
from the more advanced wheat
fields of the south. If the
weather turns clear and dry
these spores can not do harm.

Everything About a Wedding.


The NEW IDEA WoMAN's MAGA-
zIzEifor May contains a number Of
articles apropos to the eyer-recurrent
wedding. Charlotte Millward
writes on wedding-gowns, and gives
it as her opinion that, although sem
timent still inclines many girls to the
traditional white satin for their bril-
dial dresses, this material isnot nearly
so much in accord with the fashions
and taste Of the present day as the
softer and newer creations in chiffon
lace, net, supple silks, crepe de chine
or crepedeparis. An article by Fran
ces Welsh ritten takes ND the Ell
quette of weddings, and details The
proper forms, from the Invitations
to the rice shower. Wedding-break-
fast menus and reciptes homemade
wedding-cakes are given in cooking
columns; and E%sperance Goodlove
contributes an article on marriage as
it appeals to the business woman, in
which she concludes that "the girl
who has had her liberty, who has
fought her own battles and heartily
enjoyed the fighting, none the less
enjoys more deeply than she will, pre-
haps, admit, the womanly occupa-
ton of depending on a man."

A Gratifying Success.

t H~#
The lightning flashed. the thunder
rolled, and the rain fell in torrents,
but in spite of all this quite a NUM-
Der of the good people of Scooba
gathered in the chape of the college
Friday night, to listen to the literary
and musical program and to enjoy
the good things to eat provided by
the ladies of the Baptist Church.
The young folks with some of the
older ones to help them) went thro'
with the program in a way that
elected many complimentary re-
marks as tosthe~ literary and musical
genius of Scooba, and raised hopes
of many enjoyable affairs in the fu-
ture, for surely no one will say here
after that we have no local talent.
Space forbids the special notice
due each one, but suffice it to say
that every one performed his or her
part admirably. and the entire pro-
gram was carried out without a sim
gle mistake occurring-which fact
can only be fully appreciated when
one takes into account the limited
time they had for practice, many of
them less than one week; and most
of them in school, too.
Special notice and thanks are due

delightful music for the occasion.
And by the way, this band is some
thing for us to be proud of, and our
people should encourage the young
gentlemen who have labored SO dill
gently to make it a c

important feature of the evening was
the delightful refreshments, consist

think this is sufficient to call up
pleasant memories to those who
were fortunate enough to be there,
and to prove to the others that they,
too, would have been amply repaid

Thanks are due Mr.. j. F. Howell
for his kindness in furnishing free
conveyance to all who took part in
the program, and the success of the
evening was largely due to this
kindness.
The Baptist ladies extend thanks
to MI. Polk, who so kindly superin-
tended the freezing of the cream,
and incidentally proved himself an
expert in this line.
The evening was a success both
socially and financially: and here's
a hand to the Baptist ladies, and
may they soon behold the realiza-
ton of their fondest dreams-a
