WATTS -DorY.l

A simple but beautiful we'd
ding solemnized on Wednesday
evening of last week was that Of
Miss Jeanette Doty, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Morris Doty, to
Mr.. Lewis H. Watts, which took
place at the home of the brides
parents at 8 o'clock. Rev. Lar
gent of the Methodist Episcopal
church read the impressive ring
ceremony in the presence of close
friends and relatives of the two
families. The house was beauti-
fully decorated throughout with
Christmas greens, smilax and
chrysanthemums in all rooms ex-
cept the dining and living rooms.
The ceremony took place in the
living room, where the decora-
tons were green and white. The
bride and groom stood beneath a
large wedding bell during the
service, graceful palms. feathery
ferns with a pretty mingling Of
potted plants forming an effect
i've setting for the bridal party.
The entire room was transformed
into a bower of green and white.
The dining room was beautiful
in yellow and white. The CEN
terpiece of the table was large
basket of Chinese lilies tied with
a large bow of white gauze rib
ban, combined with dainty sprays
of smilax, and the brides cake on
the sideboard was surrounded by
white roses. Above the table
was suspended a large wedding

now be placed at a decided disad-
vantage if the new rules are
strictly enforced:

Ordered that the postal laws
and regulations be amended, eff
fective January /, 1908, as indi-
Gated below.
A reasonable time will be al
lowed publishers to secure re-
newals of subscriptions, but un-
less subscriptions are expressly

Among the most radical
changes made in the rulings of
the postoffice department in re-
cent years were contained in in
structions issued to the postmas-
tiers of the country recently.
Of the several chang4 the one
which affect the publishing BUSH
ness most seriously is that which
forces advance subscription pay
ments. Many publishers, and
possibly the majority of those
printing Legitimate publications,
will welcome this ruling, but it
would seem that the department
might have allowed a longer
time than Jan. 1, 1908, in which
to meet the new conditions. Had
the department named July /,
1908, as the time when publish
ers must have their subscription
lists organized on the advance
payment plan there would have
been but few objections offered.
Publishers of legitimate news
papers and periodicals should find
in the new rules much that
should be of a distinct benefit to
them.
Under the rules advance pay.
ment of subscriptions becomes
necessary. 1t automatically puts
the subscription business on a
cash basis, thing of which has
been desired by the majority of
publishers for many years.
The new rules also cut out
much of the free competition
that has grown up under the old
system. Publications whose sole
excuse for living was the adver-
tisements they carried, and for
which practically no subscrip-
tions were paid, but which filled
a demand for a cheap class of

"And now, Mr.. Voter, which would You
rather pay, a tax of 20 mills on a =

l would sooner pay the former. To
make thi years tax as low as it ought
to be, and TO even up with the times
when county warrants sold for 70 cents

terday is to-day forgotten while we
rush to rend the veil that hides to-
morrow. We have made life SO ephem-
eral, like that of the little golden
winged moth, that it is born at sum
rise only to die at dusk.
So it is healthy that we should stop
a moment or two and think, some
times, of our great men, our noble
souls, u heroes dead and gone.
Troublous times have a way of
creating unusual men. So was Abra-
ham Lincoln created. AS simple as a
child, unselfsh, free from every faint
of arrogance or egotism, as a friend
unfailing, as a foe fearful, as a pa
triot ~unflinching, he had q heart that
reached out over all the country be-
cause 1t was his country, and he wept
for the screws of the South as sin
cerely as he joyed in the triumphs
of the North.
Had he had his own way he might
have been the savior OF a united
country without the shedding OF
brothers blood, and when he fell the
assassin's bullet sped as straight to
the heart of a stricken South as it
did to the heart of her once unyield-
ing foe.
