WANTED-2, ZOO, 900 BOYS
Have you boy to spare? The saloon
must have boys or it must shut up
its shop. Can't you find one? 1t is a
great factory, and unless it can have
1000, 600 from each generation, for raw
material, some of these factories must
close up, and the operatives be thrown
out upon a cold world, and the public
revenue dwindle! One family out of
every five must contribute boy in
order to keep up the supply. Will you
help the supply? Will you help? Which
of your boys shall it be? Are you a
father? Have you given your share to
keep up the supply for this great pub
lie institution that is helping pay your
taxes and kindly electing public offic-
ers for you? Have you contributed
boy? If not some other family has had
to give more than it's share. Are you
selfish? Voting to keep the saloon open
to grind up boys and then doing moth
ing tokeep up the supply? Ponder these
questions, ye Voters, and answer them
to God, to whom you will one day give
an account for votes aswellas prayers
And we mothers, wives and daughters
are you by precept, example and infiu
ence in influence in every possible d.
rection doing all you can to save the
the boys from the entieements of the
horrible liquor saloon, and to hasten
the day when it shall be outlawed, and
curse our fair land no more? If not
why not?-Selected

Green=Harkreader

AT the MetnodlSt church which was
tastily decorated with fragrant flowers
on the evening of November 1st at $50
o'clock in the historic little city of Ver-
ona, the beautiful marriage ceremony
was said by Rev. James T. Cunningham
of Tupelo, in his own invincable fell
citous manner which consummated the
connubial alliance between Mr.. j. D.
Green and Miss Stella Harkreader.
The ceremony was indeed impressive
and awakened in the minds and hearts
of the audience the Importance and
solemnity of the occasion. Mrs. Robert
Clark presided at the organ, and with
her usual grace and ease, rendered in
her softest and most delicate touches
Mendlessohns grand old wedding march
in all of its sweetness and melody,
while the bride and groom marched
gracefully to the Hymenial alter and
then expressed their perfect willingness
with unaiterable faith to accept the
obligations and conditions which made
them husband and wife. The ushers
ushers Messrs McGee, Johnson, Nc
Shan and Schumpert stood with heads
reyerently bowed as the ceremony was
being said, and were all handsomely
and befittingly attired in suits Of black,
and seemingly willing securities for the
fortunate groom.
The bride belongs to one of the oldest
aristocratic families of Verona and
deserves the high placein society which
she occupies, educated, refined, gentle,
sweet and lovable of disposition, and
in every way accomplished and attrac-
tive. She is the daughter of our late
Major A. G. Harkreader whose very
name was the synonym of thrift,
energy and enterprise. He was gal
liant Confederate officer, full of the
genuine old antibelum southern hospital
ity and chivalry, and descended from a
long line of distinguished ancestors.
Her mother, Mrs. Tennie Harkreader,
who survives the distinguished father
is characterized as one of the most in
tellectual, benevolent, sweetest and
entertaining old ladies in this section
of the country, and is esteemed and be-
loved by all who know her, she is indeed
a charming woman.
The groom is handsome young man
of decided merit and promise, highly
esteemed and exceedingly popular, his
ancestors being among the sturdy old
pioneer settlers of north east Mississip-
pi. He is one of the pushing young
business men of Tupelo and connected
with the mammoth wholesale grocery
house of Clark Grocery Co . of that city.
The bride was beautifully gowned in
white organdy with spangled net and
satin trimmings and carried brides
roses and Maiden-hair ferns, while her
symmetrical queenly form was enYelop-
ed in the shimmering folds of the bri-
dal veil.
The groom was attired in convention
al black and appeared every inch the
monarch of all he surveyed
After the marriage the happy couple
repaired to the colonial I'D residence of
DR. B. A. Smith, where the bride dorm
an exquisite going away gowa of green
broad cloth and soon thereafter the
newly married couple boarded the 1880
train for st. Louis and other western
cities.

BIG RECEIPTS STILL CONTINUE
And Values Eased Down Dozen
Points,

Somebody up the country, satisfied
with eleven cents for cotton, is turning
loose the bales as evidenced by the
continued heavy port receipts. And
in const quence the market eased down
trifie yesterday, though still very
strong.
This was undoubtedly due to the
heavy port receipts.
March, o favorite speculative month,
which three days ago ranged up to
liza, closed yesterday at 1854 or 90
points the wrong way for the fellow
who may haYe bought it.
Spot cotton, however, was not af-
fected to any great extent, at least no
in the Americus market.
The recent furry in prices has crea-
ted very strong demand and people
who really want cotton are buying it
regardless of speculative fluctuations.
Eleven cents was the ruling price in
Americus yesterday, while some sales
were made as high as IL cents.
Heavy port receipts may ease the
market little further downward, bat
sixty days hence 125 cents for cotton
right here in Amerlcus will seem
| cheap. Mark the prediction.

GEORGIA is VERY PROSPEROUS
Conditions Nearly Equal Those Before
the War.

Georgia is rapidly approaching in
material wealth the conditions which
prevailed just before the civil war,
when the returns of property for taxa
ton upon the digests were the highest
ever known in the history of the grand
old state.
In 1850 the returns for taxation in
Georgia amounted to $672, 900, 700, the
highest ever known, Following the
war with the slaves all freed, build
ings burned, stock gone and other
heavy property losses, the returns
went down to hundred million.
In other words, Georgia's actual
losses incident to the war, figured and
estimated from the tax returns, were
more than a million dollars.
For 1905 the total property returns
are $575. 100000, this year having
shown an increase of $1,000, 600. II
the ratio of prosperity is maintained
Georgia will reach within two years
the pinnacle of wealth upon which she
stood in 1860.
These figures Indicate that Georgia's
recovery within recent years has been
something rapid
