in which the individualities of the
one must learn TO conform peacefully
with that of the other-where hand
i'm hand and heart with heart the
nOblest mark of mankind must be ac-
complished that of building a home.
BY building a home" we do not
mean the simple construction of a
residence-the placing of barns, sheds
ETC., and the identifying of the
grounds--all this and much more of
this class of work belong to the home
building" but the most important
mark is the laying of the chief cor
ner stone of health, happiness and
contentment Regulating the lessons of
good government and good citizen
ship.
= u'n sit here in the greatness
of the fading echoes, of the general
stir and hustle and go and come and
eat and cook and Kill and eat again
as the clatter of voices and the clank
of dishes still whispers faint good
byes and farewells. etc, there steals
sadness cross the minds reflections
in spite of al. the gay scenes and good
wishes and Gods blessings.
Just across the plantation yonder
is the old home of the groom, the ole
Horseshoe Farm" now the maCuif-
cent home of Mr.. and Mrs A. p. Mon
zoe.
Forty long years ago a faithful
groom and a happy bride launched
their ship of life and when the mas

in hand and peace and plenty adorn-
ed the strong arches ,hat otherwise

But turning again u the interest
ng face of the lovely bride ana con-
pairing her dis iuc';ve features u
these duties w cast aside me ting
- sadness and share The happiness
and good fortune of the noble man
whose name she bears. In her charm
inc brown eyes he VIII ever find kind
ness and love. Her soft, smooth dis
position and patient manner will al
wavs smooth the rugged cares. and
ner marked intelligence will ever be
a safe counsel in all matters of bust
ness, from the most trivial domestic
duty 10 that of high citizenship. while
her fine, Christian life will be bea

10 a peaceful port and. in all. enwrar
the entire home with Christian light
and laake happiness rain down from

We welcome such a jewel with the
love and esteem that is as pure as the
driven snow.
