SIX O'CLOCK DINNER.



o'clock dinner given by Mr.. and
Mrs. j Joshua B. Bowles on Wednes-
day evening, October 6, in honor
of their son and daughter, Mr.. and
Mrs. Newton Taylor Bowles.
Immediately after the wedding
ceremony at Camden, the bridal
party was driven to the home of
the groom at Big Sandy, where q
warm reception awaited them. To
the happy pair on their homeward
drive nature, it seemed, had don
ned her holiday attire in honor of
the joyous event. At their ap-
proach the golden rod lifted its
dropping head and bowed low in
loving obeisance. The forest trees
showered variegated leaves Of
bright autumnal tints on their
pathway and waved gay banners
Of crimson and gold as the passed
from sight,
Attic Bowles residence on Main
Street the family and immediate
relatives extended cordial well
come. The October Sun poured
forth a path of gold for the bonny
bride and gallant groom as they
crossed the threshold, and a wealth
of roses from the lawn and porches
nodded welcome III thesunsetglo
mingling their fragrance with the
good wishes and congratulations.
In the dining room tall vases of
pink and white roses, with CEN
ire piece Of fruits, made the table
decorations beautiful. An elegant
dinner, with a menu of three
course was served, and a merrier
party never yet graced a festal
board. Covers were laid for eight.
Those seated at table we're; Mr..
and Mrs. Newton Taylor Bowles,
Misses Cora Maiden of Camden,
Irene and Virgie Morris, Mary
Evans Saunders and Messrs. Erin
est Baker and John Baily Cornell.
The occasion was of more than
ordinary interest, as it marked the
union Of two of Benton County's
most prominent families. The
groom has spent his childhood
and early manhood in this city,
and is a favorite with old and
young. From his paternal ances-
try he is descended from the blue
blood aristoeraey of one of the
| famous first families of Virginia,
while from his maternal parentage
he represents one of the best
known and most prominent fami-
! lies of Tennessee.
The bride is one of Camdens
most attractive young ladies, and
comes from q family whose fame
and reputation extend beyond the
boundaries of this State. Her
father has for some years been
editor Of the Weekly Chronicle of
Camden, having become thorough
| ly identified with that progressive
little city, while her mother is a
woman Of more than ordinary ar
tistic taste and refinement, proud
ly claiming as her birthplace the
classic, cultured city of Boston.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bowles were as
sisted in receiving by Mr.. and Mrs.
Virgil f. Morris and Mr.. and Mrs.
Ernest b. Bowles.
A delightful serenade was given
the young people by the members
of the band. AS the last strains of
music hoated out on the still air
all departed with good wishes and
silent benedictions upon the two
young lives SO newly embarked
upon the great voyage of life.

1t would appear that nowadays the
education of children at the Russian
court is not so severe as It was in
the earlier part Of last century. The
regime under which Alexander II. was
brought up. for instance, was certain
ly stringent. If simple.
Brayley Hodgetts has summarized
the young Alexander's days work as
follows:
HE and his comrades. Vielgorski
and Patkul, had to get up at six, and.
after prayers and breakfast, began
their lessons at seven. These were
continued till noon, with an interval
between nine and ten for recreation.
after a two hours walk they had
dinner at two. after which they played
or rested until i've. when lessons
were resumed until seven; then they
were allowed to play or do gymnastics
for an hour. At eight supper was
served. The evening was devoted to
q review Of the days achievements
and to posting the diary. At ten they
went to bed.
"On Sundays and holidays the hours
devoted to lessons were taken up
partly with improving reading, partly
with some handicraft and gymnastics.
Notwithstanding the ability ex.
hibited by Alexander. 1t seems that
he was wanting in steady application.
He was brilliant, but no plodder. In
order to make him work Capt. Moer.
der hit upon an ingenious plan. He
started a poor box. to which the chill.
dren were not allowed to contribute
unless they had earned the right to
confer benefits on others BY having
worked assiduously themselves. And
this plan seems to have been success.

But many Of the most serious dangers
to the forest are of human orikin.
Such are destructive lumberink, and
excessive taxation on forest lands, to

due. So high are these taxes in some
states for In many cases they amount
to S or even per cent. yearly on
the market value of the forests, that
the owners cannot afford to pay them

they are forced to cut or sell their
timber in haste and without regard
to the future. When the timber IL
gone the owners refuse to pay taxes
any longer. and the devastated lands
revert to the state. Many thousand

ruined by reckless numbering because

Up to Committee
The calling of primaries and con-
ventiOns rests solely with the State
Democratic Executive Committee, the
primary law being optional and not
imperative, this being due to a siren
Uous fight OF the opposition in the
legislature which made primaries pos
sible. In brief. the committee can do
just as it pleases with regard TO con-
tinuing or disseminating the primary
system, which Will always be in dan
ger until the holding of primaries is
made imperative by legislative action.
This movement affecting the supreme
court judges, in the opinion Of many,
is nothing more than a movement to
undermine the system. and many con
fidently believe that an effort Will be
made to nominate candidates for the
United States senate, congress and
other important offices, by the conYen-
ton plan, instead of holding the pri-
maries next spring. In view of the
material composing the State Execu-
tive Committee, however, together
with the pronounced attitude of the
people on the subject, opponents of
the primary viii hardly display such
a degree of nerve at present

In the chapel on Tuesday morning
Prof. Rolls, OF the experimental sta
ton, gave some very interesting sta
tistics of the agricultural products of
the United States in general and Flor

Among the visitors last week to the
University was Mr.. Green, of Arcadia,
who took a post graduate course in
agriculture last year at the University.

eagerly read by the West Florida
students.
The following self-explanatory reso-
buttons have been adopted:
Resolutions of Thanks.
Whereas, the Chamber of Com
merce of Pensacola, Fla, through their
desire to promote the agricultural in
terests or the state and of their own
county in particular, have raised the
necessary funds to pay the expenses
in full of ten students in the short
course in agriculture, in the Univer-
sity, therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the student
body. give this expression of our ap-
probation Of confidence in our State
University.
Resolved further, That we feel that
this generous action of the Pensacola
Chamber OF Commerce will not only
be productive of good in Escambia
county, and be the means OF arousing
larger interest in the activities of
the University of Florida, but that it
will also generate a deeper and more
widespread interest in one of the
largest and most important industries
in this state, and thereby be pro-
ductive of lasting good to the COM
mOnWealth
Resolved further, That these reso-
lutions be placed upon the records of
the student body, and that a COPY be
