The marriage of Miss Sara Sale to
Mr.. William Morris Hammer, of Green
wood, was celebrated at the First Meth
odist church OF tho evening Of Tuesday

feet of the church decorations with
quantities Of Southern smilax forming
the border of chancel and choir rails,
the graceful tracery finding q pretty
display against = white background
which was introduced here and there in
contrast to rich dark wood work. A
variety of palms in pyraminal design
gave an attractive note, while candles
in crystal candelabra, cleaning amid q
tropical setting, added ane to the
picturesque scene. Shortly before the
appointed hour Mrs. Dashiell sang de-
lightfully De Koven's favored "OhI
Promise Me-" with Miss Nelson as or
ganist, and to herald tho bridal party
the wedding march from Lohengrin was
given. The ushers, Mr.. B. f. johnson,

rod, Jr., Mr., Bailey Hardy and Mr..

at the entrance ways to the chancel.
They were followed BY tho bridesmaids
alternating with tho groomsmen, who
took their places within the chancel to
await the coming of the bride. Miss

Hairston, Miss Adele Leigh and Miss
fannie Cady acted as bridesmaids and
made a charming group in their becom-
ing dresses Of yellow m~essaline with
touches of gold, their flowers, white
~rosebuds, encircled by maidenhair
ferns. The groomsmen were Judge
Percy Bell, Of Greenville, Mr.. Henry

roses. Miss Sale entered with her
brother, Mr.. John B. Sale, and Mr..

A Few HomeIy Truths.

Before $50 representative bust.
ness men of Kansas City, Ran, J.
W. Robinson, a business man of
Tokepa, Kansas, gave expression to
the following:
IF you merchants want advertis-
ing 90 to the plants that have built
your city-the newspapers. They
advertise you more than the little
6x6 display ad you place in one
corner of them can pay for They
sometimes say nice things about
you, and often they don't say things
about you which are not nice. The
newspapers are the best advertise
ment city or a group of business
men possesses"
Have you thought of that, Mr..
Business Man and Adve. tiser?
Continuing, Mr.. Robinson said:
we merchants of Topeka have
suffered beyond endurance from inn
position in the way of charity and
benevolent advertising One day,
seven years ago we met to talk
it over and formed an association
for mutual protection against such
imposition. Each member of the
committee present had been held
up that day for from SIS to $40 by
some organization for advertising
space in a program for a social
gathering or something of the kind.
We decided right there to eliminate
Objectionable advertising and public
subscriptions from our daily bust
ness life. and after dividing adver-
tislne under the heads of legitimate
and illigitimate, we decided that
outside of the newspapers IS per
cent of it was illigitimate- Mober-
