mlrlng companions count in after life
then all their welded days must be as
Iull Of happiness as the ceremoney which
united Miss Margaret Jane Mcmillan to
MIR. George Jasper Raper, on Feb 18th,
1906.
1t was an ideal wedding day. Even
nature, to do honor to the occasion, laid
aside her winter garb and clothed her
self in a spring costume. The sun shone
lovingly on 'Castalia." the beautiful
home OF the bride, where the ceremony
was performed.
Promptly at four OF clock to the strains
OF Mendelssohn' wedding march, played
by Miss Margaret McAllister, the bridal
party entered the parlor. First came the
little flower girls, Misses Treva Raper,
sister OF the groom, and Virginia Bur
roughs, daintily gowned in white silk and
bearing immense bouquets of pink car
nations. Then followed the bride and
groom who took their places before the
minister. The organ notes fell to sweet,
faint wispers of Narcissus, and amid
breathless attention, Rev. J. III. Hender-
lite pronounced the beautiful ceremony
by which the two lovers took the we'd
ding VOWS.
The bride wore handsome gown of
cream nunsveiling and carried white
carnations. After the ceremony a sump-
tuous supper to number of invited
guests was given at the Mcmillan home.
The bride is the oldest daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. John Mcmillan, and one of the
county's most popular young ladies, who
on account OF her attractive personality
and varied accomplishment will always
be favorite wherever her lot is cast
The groom is the only son of Rev. c. f..
NJ. Raper, and young man of wide pOp-
| ularity.
The list OF presents at the Mcmillan
home is too large to print. Cut glass
and silver and numerous other gifts
abound as tokens from admiring friends
At present the newly welded couple are

THE TELEPHONE GIRL.
She fias Her Faults, But Does Not De.
serve the Criticisms She is Often
Subjected To.

Birmingham Ags-Herald.
while it is possible the telephone
girl has her faults, she does not de-
serve all the adverse criticism to
which she is some times subjected,
said an old telephone man.
1T is OF course trying to be inter-
rupted in the midst of a conversa-
ton by having the line 'cut in on,
getting the wrong connection. bad
connections ard all those little things
| that try ones patience, but we should
remember that the telephone girl,
like everyone else, is liable to make
mistakes and that all the troubles
are not chargeable to her
For instance, it is often charged
that the telephone girl claims that a
certain line you want is busy when it
| is not. Now us Il matter OF fact. the
telephone girl can more easily give
the desired connection than report it
| busy Making the connection is an
easy matter and if YOU notice, when
calling for a number you can tell
whether she has made an effort to
give you the number YOU want. Ii
the number you call is busy YOU will
hear II distinct rattle as she attempts
to join the lines.
THE telephone operator has many
things to try her nerves and it is Il
wonder she is really as good natured
as she is. The position being so try
ing it is absolutely impossible to
avoid all the annoying little things
that bring abuse on the head OF the
telephone girl
