The front room, where the ceremony
was performed, was prettily decorated
in green and white, the prevailing flower
being lilies of the valley. The grounds
were decorated with Chinese lanterns.
The brides were very attractive in their
gowns OF white, trimmed with lace, and
the ceremony was performed by Rev. 7.
X. Williams the ring service being used.
There were no bridesmaids or maid of
honor. After the ceremony refreshments
OF ice cream, cake and punch were served
to about go guests. Mr.. and Mrs. Lv
ford were fortunate enough to slip quiet
" away unobserved, but Mr., and Mrs.
Stewart were not so lucky, and were
literally showered on their departure
with rice and confetti. Both couples are
among the popular young people of
Peacham. Mrs. Lyford has worked in
the central office of the Molly Falls Tele-
phone Co., the past winter, where she
has made many friends by her kind and
obliging manners. Mrs. Stewart has
been popular teacher in this and adj
joining towns. Allextend to them many
good wishes for long and happy mar
ried life.

answer correctly questions similar
to these. Eighteen of the twenty
four members Of the class gave cor
rectly the Presidents full name, and
two knew only his last name. No

HOOK WORM NOT so BAD.

Wrong Pest.

Washington.-In language far
more forceful than elegant it may be
said that John D. Rockefeller picked
a lemon when he announced that he
would back the fight against the hook
worm to the extent of s1,000,0O0. A
census bulletin was published show
ing that If all deaths from amemia
were caused by the hook worm it is
one of the most harmless diseases in
the country. The bulletin shows the
number to have been 2152
During the same period there were
deaths from accidental causes num-
bering 22,71O other than the slaugh-
ter caused by the railroads. In the
same period cancer killed 555,956
appoplexy 32,567, and consumption

reported was 691, ,574.

T. H. Harris, State superintendent

sity of Wisconsin and the field of
activity for a university. The uni

having the regular courses, has also
school Of agriculture, which is at
tended by many farmers and Mr..
Harris said that 1t is universitv's
place to teach law and medicine and
to offer an academic course, but he
did not think that anything should
be done at the sacrifice of the agri-
cultural courses. He thought that
the agricultural courses should re-
ceive paramount consideration for it

TIME TO CALL A HALT.
Spectator Disturbing Factor. De-
clares journal of Commerce.

New York.-The four men who
have made the most money out of the
cotton market this year are not in
a pool in the strict sense of the term,
but e. G. Scales, w. P. Brown, Frank
B. Hayne and James A. Patten usual
ly act together. These four men are
estimated to have made $1S,0oO0OO
on the season. These are, of course,
80 far worry largely paper" profits.
Indications are not wanting of a
disposition among the conservative
class of brokers to discourage extern
sive operations, either for the long
or short account, by customers VINO
are. not prepared to stand large los
ses. They do not attempt to predict
that the market price for cotton has
reached It's highest for the season.
With the market so thoroughly under
CONTROL itais argued that a rise is
quite as likely as decline, and that
therefore IMAGINED accounts should
be amply protected.

ment of the Farmers Con-
ditiOn

ment by the press, was one or the
millionaire philanthropists whose
gifts, though measured in millions,
were made with as little publicity as
possible. AS he gave, so he lived,
unostentatiously, and made his
princely fortune with little blare of
trumpets. Besides being a banker
he was one of the country's chief
builders of railroads, a patron of art
and education and in his own quiet
way, one Of New York's foremost
of scientifically organized

OucL OF the country.
Durham, N. C.-The place for the
farmer now is in the south where the
soil is friendly to nearly every pro-
duct of the country declared Secre-
tary Wilson of the national depart
ment of agriculture Secretary Will
son said he he had nothing against
education in schools and colleges of
the country, but that their tendency
had been to educate away from the
farms instead of toward them He
expressed his sympathy with the man
who proposed an agricultural school
for every county, whether that school
be an actual institution or merely a
place where farmers met and dis
cussed farming.
"The abandonment of farms has
been upon such a scale that the dan
ger of reducing the country to an i'm
port rather than an expert nation is
evident" declared Mr.. Wilson.
