let. map and considerable advertis-
ing matter was also received from

MARRIAGE A PRETTY OCCASION
MIR. Dixon and Miss Page Thus United
Last Night.

The beautiful country home of Mr..
and Mrs. j. Il. Page was the scene of
very happy occasion last evening
when numerous friends assem- bled there
at 8 o'clock to witness the marriage of
Miss Florence G. Page and Mr.. Olin
l.. Dixon. And pretty one it was
indeed.
The social prominence and popular
ity of both bride and groom rendered
the sff sir OF interest among their wide
circle of friende, both in Americas
and elsewhere.
And rarely has a prettier wedding
scene been witnessed here.
As Mrs. Henry r. Johnson, Jr., rem
dereds Lohengrin's wedding march at
o'clock the bridal party entered the
prettily decorated parlors. The bride
wore an exquisite gown of white lace,
most becoming to her rare type of
beauty. Her bouquet was lilies OF

AS the impressive words of the min
lister were being spoken Miss Fannie
Stallings sang very sweetly ooh Prom
Use Me-" and afterward Chime Eyes
So Blue and Tender. "
Miss Kate Page, the young sister OF
the BRIDE, was maid of honor, while
Misses Lillian Reese, of Buena Vista,
Cecile Williams of South Carolina,
Annie Dixon, of La Crosse and Lucille
Oleeg of Americas were bridesmaids.
All of these, like the pretty little
maid CT honor, wore pink crepe de
chine and carried bouquets of the
loVliest pink roses.
The groom, in full evening dress, en-
tered with his best man, Mr.. Robert E
Lee, joIning the bride at the altar where
Rev. j. P, Wardlaw, of First Methodist
church, was in waiting.
Many and sincere were the congrstu.

STILL sLuMPs JUST A LITTLE
Though Surprise Expressed at Market
Stability.

Another loss of half dozen points
was added yesterday to that already
sustained, although good cotton still
sells in the Americus market at n cts.
In fact, surprise IS expressed at the
general frmness of the cotton market
in the face of the continued hammer
ing it has received. Many things tend
towards lower prices, but despite all
this the market holds up fairly we'll.
The prospect of another big crop, tos
gether with the evident desire of many
holders to sell out, would tend to put
down values, but for a week or ten
days the price has held steadily at y
cents. Fifty bales were received at
the local warehouses yesterday and
we'll nigh hundred bales at the COM
press, the latter coming from outside
points. Sales in the Americas market
are easier, local buyers finding little if
any difficulty in getting all the cotton
needed.

PREDICT A FREEZE IN GEORGIA
Weather Bureau Sends Out Freeze
Warning

Dig out your overcost and rake over
the coal bin and woodpile, for cold
wave is speeding on the way to Geor-
gia aud will probably touch Amerlcus
this morning along with other points.
Such was the warning cent out by the
weather bureau.
And calamity will follow in the wake
Of the storm, If it comes.
After four days CT rain, and with the
wind from the northwest last night q
cold wave is not improbable. In fact,
it would be surprising indeed If no
calamity came.
But freeze, or even a severe frost,
just now would prove of incslcuIable
injury. In fact, it would bring ruin
upon this section OF the country where
gardens and field crops are growing
vigorously and the summer season vel
at hand.
The weather doctor makes mistake
sometimes; it is hoped that he has ever
lastingly slipped his trolley in this pre-
diction.
