THE BATTLE OF THE BOTTLE.

The latest state in the south to go
"dry' is the state of Alabama. A bill
providing for statutory prohibition has
been passed by both branches OF the
legislature and will take effect jana
airy l, 1909. The fight was n of the
most notable in the history of the
movement Throughout the south. Ala
bama has an important seaport town
Mobile, that made some strenuous op
position, and it also has a great iron
city, Birmingham, and aron-workers
as a class generally believe they must
have some sort of liquor. The prohibit
tive acts passed by the southern states
will of course not prevent the importa
ton Of whisky from other states IN
original packages. but an effort will be
made by the 'antis' to induce con
gress to pass an act making 1t a crime

SOUND AND LOGICAL.

One of the strongest speeches made
at the Trans-Mississippi Commercial
congress, in session at Muskogee, Okla
homa, was that of a full-blooded In
dian, one of the chiefs of the five civil
lied tribes, named Maty Tiger. He
spoke in his native tongue and in part
said:
"All citizens of this government have
been and are encouraged to buy and
hold lands, and we are told that the
pest citizenship is made up of the 100.
acre homeowners. In the light of this
teaching and truth, why should my peo'
pie be encouraged to sell their lands,

Johnson City, Tenn, Mr.. Bert Pouder's
marriage to Miss Carese Adams being
one of the most important events of the
week.
The wedding party has enjoyed sew
eral very delightful social affairs, the
first tf the series being Spanish din
ner given Saturday evening at the Gran
Oriente by the ushers, Messrs. J. NJ.
Graham, Harper, Victor Knight and
Herbert Phillips.
Yesterday morning Miss Adams acted
as hostess on launch party. An early
morning trip was taken on the river
and at Sulphur Springs the party dis.
embarked and partook of a most appe
tizlng breakfast. Besides the wedding
party there were Rev. W. X. Piner,

State Encampment. G. A. R.

The Commercial Club of johnson
City has been advised Of the State En-
campment of the Grand Army of the
Republic, to be held in this city, May
10Th and 10th.
1t is estimated that 1000 delegates
will be in attendance. 1t will be a
representative gathering, many Of the
best citizens of the state having al
ready given notice of their purpose to
be present. Arrangements for the
board of the delegates have been fully
perfected and no citizen will be ex-
pected to furnish any meal for them.
1t is we'll known that the hotel facili-
ties are inadequate to provide them
with lodging. When this place was
suggested for the encampment, it was
at once argued against us, that we
could not accommodate 30 large q
crowd. 1t is only necessary to provide
lodging. This, we surely can and
must do. The Commercial Club ap-
peals to every public spirited to open
his home for this purpose.
The delegates expect to pay feF this
entertainment and every citizen will
be amply compensated for his trouble.
Canvassers will call at every home,
and will ask how many each house can
entertain, and the compensation ex-
pected. The crowd will be immense,
and it behooves US to respond with a
promise to take care Of just as many as
possible.
Consider the matter carefully, and
be prepared to give the canvassers an
answer.

Miss Cerese Adams and Mr. Bert POuder
Parties to Pretty Wedding Last Night


One of the most interesting weddings
of the season was that of Miss Cerese
Adams and Mr., Bert Ponder, Of John
son City, Tenn, which was solemeized
at the First Methodist chuach last
evening. No cards were issued, but at
seven o'clock the time set for the mu-
steal program, the church was already
filled with guests to witness the event.
The church was artistically decorated
in beautiful ported palms, moss and
fern, the entire chancel and altar be-
ing mass of greenery. The grouping
of the long fronded ferns was especial
ly beautiful. Above the altar was sus'
pended from the chandelier graceful
cluster of white lilies, which was the
finishing touch to the decoration. Al
appropriate musical program was rem
dered for half an hour before the cere
money and during the service by three
OF Tampa's most skilled musicians
Mrs. Emil V. Whitaker was the soloist
Miss Hulda Kreher, yiolinist; Mrs. &c
Hart, organist. Promptly at half pas
seven, the strains of the Bridal Choru
from Lohengrin we're heard and th
wedding party entered the church
Y The four ushers, Messrs. J. NJ. Ora
ham, Victor Knight, Clarence Harpe
: and Herbert Phillips, entered, advanC
ed up the sideof aisles, and stood o
either side of the chancel. The prett
maid of honor, Miss Ellie Sparkmar
came down the middle aisle, followe
Y by little Miss Katherine Helms, th
0 flower girl. The bride came last, b.
y ing met at the altar by the groom an
n his best man, Mr.. Will Pouder. Th
g ring ceremony was performed by Re-
J, W. X. Piner, of the First Methods
church, assisted by Rev. B. X. Throw
err. When the ceremony was finished
the triumphant strains of the weddin
n march from Mendelssohn pealed feri
