ENrERTAINS BRIDAL PARTY WITH
 SLIPPER


 Despite the inclemency of the weather Monday night, fourteen couples went down to attend the real old fashioned country supper given by Mrs. Jane Jett Ritchie for the Ritchie- Eldridge bridal party.
 This hospitable home where visitors are ever welcomed was beautifully decorated with cut flowers. The table, a great object of interest, was laden with good things to eat, ranging from Darbecued pig boiled ham and turkey to the dainty angel food cake Our hostess informed us that the only contest for the evening was that of eating The contestants were many but time soon dwindled them down to I. F.. Stanley and R. E. Berkshire. W. D Conner also ran, but the prize was awarded to Mir. Berkshire.
 Then the center of attraction be- came the cutting of the brides cake. A bevy of girls gathered about to find the fate in store for them and after some urging the young even tried their fortune The look of horror on Abe Small's face as he cut the cake told very surely that he had cut the ill-fated thimble Miss Price was lucky in cutting the dime and Miss Eldridge cut the ring Dr C. C. Cope fOuD0 bimS Splf doomed I,,r flta eals f q, a hopeless bachelorhood.
 The guests departed at eleven o'clock with best wishes and congratu- lations for the bride and groom-to-be, feeling that their long drive had cer- tainly been worth while

GIVE ANOTHER SANITARY WAGON

The City Council and the public at
large should Join hands with Mayor
Mathis in his crusade for cleaner
town. If the proper cooperation is
given him we have no doubt that he
will be successful in his efforts and
that the trash that all too frequently
litters up the streets and reflects dis
credit upon the city will become a
thing of the past
In order that the mayor and those
working under his direction may he
successful in their efforts to make
Americas a clean city it is essential
that the force to gather and remove
trash be increased. Another wagon
and driver should certainly be employ
ed. Under the existing conditions it
is impossible to have the trash remov
ed promptly, and to this probably more
than to the neglect of the ordinances
by citizens is due the conditions Of
which the mayor complains.
The same one-horse wagon that YVES
used some years ago constitutes the
force for removing trash from the
business section Everyone knows
that the amount of such waste mater
ial to be removed to-day is immensely
greater than it was a few years back.
las a result of the failure of the Coun-
ell to increase the facilities the trash
is not removed as frequently as it
should be. The Times-Recorder can
speak from it's own experience THAT all
too often week elapses before it's
waste paper can be taken away, and
Judging from what is seen in the rear
of some other business establishments
others have equally as good reason to-
complain
Not only does this failure to re-
move the trash promptly result III
some at least of it being blown around
the streets, but it also tends to greatly
increase the fire risks. For these two
reasons the City Council should hasten
to make a sufficient appropriation to
add another wagon and double the
service that is rendered Americas
cannot stand on the equipment that
was satisfactory ten years ago.

PECAN INDUSTRY
In ALBANY DISTRICT
Sound Venture for GrOWel
and Promoter.
ALBANY Herald.l

Professor John Craig, of Ithaca, nj
Y, head of the Empire-Georgia Pecan
Co., and one of the recognized Ameri-
can authorities on horticulture, talked
to the Herald of the
present and future of the pecan in
this section.
Professor Craig's company as is
well known, is now engaged in con-
yerting 1000 acres of Dougherty
county lands into pecan groves, the
tract being just south of the city
Speaking of the future of the indus
try, and the inevitable disappoint-
ments which will now and then be
encountered, Prof Craig said:
AS it comes to me from observa-
ton and contact with men interested
in the development Of land enter
prises, I am forced to the conclusion
that interest in pecan culture ia
spreading AS a basic natural indus
try it is bound to enjoy large popu-
larity. / do not close my eyes to the
occasional disappointments, born Of
misconceptions and perhaps misinfor-
nation. These are incident to the
development of all kinds of enter
rrlses. more particularly, however, oil
those which have soil and climate
coupled with management as the con
trolling factors. In the case of the
pecan, / believe that the industry
properly managed, is as sound for the
intelligent grower as it is for the hon
est promoter.
Eyes, we are pushing work as rap
idly as we can in our four-thousand-
acre tract south of town. Our plans
contemplate the setting of between
ton and twelve hundred acres before
the 18th of February Work in this
line is actively in progress. 1t is 8
large enterprise, and in organizing it
we find that it divides itself into five
departments, namely, surveying, plow-
ing tree rows, stalking tree holes, hole
digging and finally, tree planting
Superintendent o. ]. Hill has has
force organized into these divisions
Mr.. Charles G. Bennett is pushing
surveying; Mr.. H. f. Williams, tbs
blowing out of the tree rows; Messsl
keenan, and Tousaint have charge y
the stalking; Mr. C. A. Rowell has
charge of the tree planting; while Mr.
Hill keeps an eye on the hole-dig
cling, in addition to the general super
vision of the plant This results il

divisions of the field campaign at tbs

SPARE THE ROD

PROTECTOR OF SMALL NATIONS.

That was not bad suggestion that
Moisant, the aeroplanist made, that
the flying machine was to become the
future protector of the liberties of the
small nations, putting them on an
equality with larger countries and en-
abling them the better to protect their
rights and liberties from assaults from
predatory nations
AS he views it, the aeroplane is 10
nations what the revolver is to the
individuals. The small, puny man,
with a little sand in his backbone, is
on a parity with his big, muscular OPP
ponent when he is armed with pistol.
"a bullet from the small mans popgun
will do the big man just as much harm
as the bullet from the big man can do
the punny little fellow SO the small
nation, with little feet of aeroplanes,
costing but few thousand dollars
apiece, can threaten the cities of its
adyersaries just as much as those Of
the Weather and more powerful peo-
pie can threaten it's own towns.
Anything that tends to lessen the
probability of war between nations, 3r
that tends to preserve the rights and
freedom of the nations as they are at
present constituted, is a decided step
forward in civilization. 1t has been
said that the enormous costliness of
war is the one retarding influence to-
day. But it may be that the very
cheapness of aeroplanes. when taken
with their possibilities as destroying
agents, will be equally as effective in
the direction of the universal pea se|
