Harris.

The merry month Of June was
ushered in for Okolona society BY the
marriage Of Mr.. c. R. King and Miss
Mamie L. Harris. Mr.. King is one Of
OkoIonas most popular and prosper
Gus merchants and Miss Harris is the
handsome and fascinating daughter Of
Mr.. j. 7. Harris, Of the M. &, O. r
r. service.
The marriage was at the home Of
the bride Tuesday afternoon at $50
sharp and the service was said BY Rev
j. w. Moseley, Jr. Shortly after the
service, amid the congratulations and
rice throwing, the happy pair left for
a protracted bridal tour, with James
town, New York and possibly the City
Of Mexico as objective points.
In anticipation Of the event the
Harris home was transformed into a
place of exquisite beauty and lowell
ness. The spirit Of the occasion,
love. laughter and song, was heightened
by the decorations Of the reception
room. Here was prepared a royal
arch Of evergreens and flowers. rem
dered refulgent with innumerable vari-
colored electric lights. At the key
stone hung a clustering marriage bell
symbolizing the sweetness and SINGER
ity Of the holy ordinance.
While the wedding party waited the
click Of the watch for the hour Of fate,
Miss lrma Harper, in rarely beauti-
full way, sang The Sweetest Story
Ever Told" AS the final words Of
the love song were borne on the June
breezes to the world without. the ma
iestic strains Of MendoIsohn's Wed
ding March" played by Miss Daisy
Mcleod, Of Kenton. Tenn, aroused all
to keen expectancy. AS the march
advanced the ribbon girls, Misses
Mamie King and Bessie Higgins, led
the way quickly followed by the o6ci-
ating minister and the bride and groom
The groom was dressed in the con-
ventional black and the bride was at
tired in an exquisite costume of white
silk. AS the service proceeded sug-
gestive strains Of Hearts and Flow
ers" flowed from the pianoforte and the
hush of the benediction was followed
by the Bridal Chorus" from Lohenrin
and the EXPLANATIONS and amens from
folks and friends.
1t was indeed gala day for bride
and groom. The presence Of large
number Of friends and dozens Of rich
gifts in gold and glass, in china and
silver, evidenced the popularity of the
happy couple.
One of the substantial and snowy
gifts of the occasion was that of a
handsome diamond brooch to the bride
by the groom.

Ever look up the past history Of a
man who has gone wrong, and see what
started him? A certain man who has
gone to the dogs was at one time a
promising child. Bright, obedient and
precocious, he was a great favorite.
But, alackaday, his sister got married,
and the family decided to put Billy,
the boy, in parade. They put his
name on the bills as William Algernon,
dressed him in the white satin suit Of
a page, with big girl-hat on his head
with long white plumes. When he
walked from the carriage to the church
door, lot Of his playmates who had
gathered around saw him. They didn'l
do thing to William AIgernon forthe
next three months, and at the end d
that time he had become sullen. dis
obedient and fighter. and cigarettes
and drink soon followed his efforts tc
show the other boys that he wasn't :
sissy il he did wear white suit and q
girl hat and walk in a parade. There
is warning in this which We hope the
mothers and sisters will see: Dom
ruin boy for lie ~ making him take
part in a wedding parade.

fence. Down with the railroads Let
us 20 back to the simple. pedestrian
time Of generation and a half ago
when the noble American citizen was
unoppressed by the grasping corpora
ton and was free to walk. What have
the railroads ever done for us except to
trampIe on our Liberties? In the good
old days, when we wanted to 60 back
to Virginia or Georgia or the Caro-
linas to visit the homefolks we started
out with coach and four and had a
nice long trip Of several months. Now
we have to 90 in uncomfortable plush
seated cars and our vacation is cut
down to two weeks. The railroads
are even stealing time away from us.
They have robbed us Of the pleasure
Of mail day" when our letters used to
come in the month-old batch and we
could spend whole day doing nothing
but reading the news. And when we
received word Of the sickness or death
Of member Of the family back in The
old home we did not have to get on a
train so we could get there in time to
attend the funeral and help in the set
Element Of affairs. We knew that our
loss had occurred weeks before we
heard Of it and that it was almost time
to stop mourning. Thus it is the rail-
roads have added to our burdens.
Think of the trouble the railroads have
added to the farmers life. His was
truly the simple life before the rail-
roads came; he had little about which
to worry then. He exchanged his
produce for provisions, trading and
bartering here and there, and real
money was almost unknown to him.
He was not burdened with the care Of
cash and did not have to worry about
the stability Of banks nor waste his
time in seeking good investments for
the money he had accumulated But
that is all changed now, for the rail-
roads have robbed the farmer Of his
peace. Our brothers and sisters in
Kentucky and New York can drop in
on us with only few days notice now
and telegram will bring the rest Of
the family from California to meet
them, SO we are subject to being over
run with guests at any time. A mans
home is Just a meeting place for all his
relatives. The railroads have taken.
away our privacy. So let us join to-
gether in bringing about the downfall
Of these despoilers Of our peace and
lethargy that we may 60 back again to
the easy old simple life.

We have dropped number Of pa
pers from our exchange list because
the aforesaid papers are bilious. A
newspaper can no more afford to assoc
ciate with sour, snarIing, fretting, en-
vious newspaper than to keep company
with that kind Of man. We cant
afford to read pessimistic sheet that
is forever out Of harmony with every
thing. The editor wants to be young
man when he dies, wants to have faith
in God and man as long as he lives,
wants to keep hopeful and cheerful
hence he doesn't care to bother the
blue" or rub up against any old sore
head grumbIer. Give us the paper
that sweetens our life, the paper that
reaches the bow Of hope above us and
cheers us along the way.
