The church had been prettily
decorated with white roses, sweet
peas and potted plants.
At the appointed hour, seven
o'clock, as the beautiful strains of
the wedding march played by Mr..
Ray Frey accompanied on the
violin by Miss North-Tummon, the
matron of honor, Mrs. Paul Davis,
moved gracefully down the aisle

At the same time the groom enter
ed from the vestry room with his
best man, Mr.. Atkins, of Macon.
The bride looked very dainty in
pure white carrying a shower bou-
uuet of brides roses. The matron
of honor was attired in white and
carried carnations, while the maid
of honor looked sweet in white
carrying white roses and carnations.
Immediately after the ceremony
the bridal party was driven to the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Marston
where the reception was held
The house was prettily decorated
in the same colors used in the
church, green and white. In the
dainty refreshments the color
scheme was further carried out.

numerous, and were evidence Of
the high esteem of the bride. AS
each guest departed box of wed
ding cake surmounted by a dear
little cupid was presented to them

Atlanta Council Denies The
Charge.

Atlanta, April 22.-The city coun-
Gil of Atlanta Indignantly denies the
charges that there is any discrlml-
nation between social classes in the
city's effort to close the Union &
Mechanics locker club, and in the
injunction hearing which continues
today, brings forth evidence tending
to show that the club in question
sold over $4,000 worth of Whiskey
and beer in the three weeks of its
existence before the attempt was
made to revoke its license, and that
the sale of whiskey was practically
the only source of revenue the club
had, it's members paying only 81.
per month dues, and $3.50 as an
initiation fee. The city further
charges that young girls, eighteen
years and under, could get admis-
sion to the club alone, simply by
telephoning, even after nine o'clock
at night.
Attorneys for the club, however,
stick to their original proposition
that it is class discrimination" and
that if women do visit this club and
drink there, the same is true of the
most exclusive clubs of the city, and
that an examination of the books OF
these latter would show that their
revenue, too, was chiefly derived
from the sale of liquor.
The evidence this morning shows
however, that the Union 4 Me-
chanics' club has spent a great deal
more money for whiskey than ii
has for all its furniture, rent, litera-
ture, running expenses, etc., put
together.
Apropos Of this, Judge Bell, who
| is hearing the case, told this morn
ing ma amusing story:
The captain of a coosting vessel
putting in at New Orleans one night
after stormy voyage from Cuba
in the winter, sent his negro stewart
ashore to buy provisions, giving him
SIS. for the purpose.
Presently the negro returned. He
brought $3.50 worth of whiskey and
fifty cents worth of flour. Naturally
said Judge Bell, the old sea-captain
was outraged. He looked in amaze
ment at what the negro had bought
and then inquired, in a scathing
tone, What the HI did you buy
so much flour for?"

Many Changes In Its Design Since It
Was First Issued.
The silver dollar has undergone a
great many changes since it was put
in circulation in 1894. On the face of
the first dollar there was stamped the
head of young woman turned to the
right and with hair flowing, as if she
was in gale Of wind. But in 1896
congress came to her relief and ordered
her hair to be tied up with a bit of
ribbon. The fifteen stars which ap-
peared on the first dollar were after
this reduced to the original thirteen in
recognition of the number Of states.
In 1886 the design was again chang
ed, and the dollar bore the figure of q
woman dressed in a flowing garment.
The designer forgot, however, to put
In the thirteen stars, and the coin was
soon called in, the new design having
the woman surrounded by stars. Her
air was defiant and stiff looking, and
in 1888 dollars were issued which were
more artistic in treatment. The first
dollars bearing the motto, I'm God We
Trust" were coined in April. 1864, and
in 1873 the era Of the trade dollar be-
gan, lasting just five years.
The Liberty dollar made its appear
ance in 1878. Miss Anna W. Williams,

phia, sat for the portrait-St. Louis

FIRST AID IN PAINTING.
Lower the Head to Let tho Blood Back

Lower the Head to Let tho Blood Back
to tho Brain. 5.
Painting is loss Of consciousness
due to the diminution of blood supply
to the brain. It occurs most frequent
~ In weak, sensitive women, but may
occur also to men as WELL It usually
occurs in crowds or in crowded halls,
theaters and churches, where the at.
mosphere is close and the air foul.
Painting usually, lasts only a few
minutes, and the person RECEIVERS i'm
mediately when taken out into the
fresh air, but there are cases in which
it lasts much longer, sometimes for an
hour or more. The first aid treatment
of fainting is usually very simple
lake the person out into the fresh
air and lay him fat on the back, with
the head lower than the feet.
This can be done by grasping the
feet and holding the body so that the
head hangs down, or take an ordinary
straight back chair, turn it over so
that the back forms an angle with the
floor and place the person on the back
of the chair with the head hanging
down. This position with the head
hanging down favors the flow of the
blood back to the brain.
All tight clothing about the neck and
waist should be loosened. Smelling
salts or aromatic spirits of ammonia
applied to the nostrils and cold water
sprinkled on the face, chest and hands
help to restore consciousness.-Nat

Somethinq Blind.

In one of the crowded streets of
New York a beggar was in the habit
of taking his stand every day and ap-
pealing to the charity of the passers-
by. By means Of a short string lie
held dog, around the neck of which
a card was fastened with the words,
Il Am Blind" A very kind old gen.
tleman. who had been in the habit of
dropping penny into the beggar's
hat. passed rapidly one morning with
out doing SO. Instantly the beggar
rushed after him and asked for the
penny to be given. as usual The gen.
teman, turning in surprise. said:
'Why. thought you were blind?"
"Oh, no, STRIP was the cool reply.

card says"

The Retort Courteous.

James Russell Lowell was once q
guest at banquet in London where
he was expected to reply to a toast.
The speaker who preceded Mr.. Lowell
said many contemptuous things about
the people of the United States, avow-
ing and repeating again and again that
they were all braggarts. AS Ameri-
can minister at the court of St.
James Lowell could hardly overlook
this speech, so as he rose he said
smilingly: II heartily agree with the
gentleman who has just spoken.

Why a Horse Rolls,

Horses are fond of rolling on the
ground, and no animal more thorough
~ shakes itself than they do. After
a roll they give themselves a shake
or two to remove anything adhering
to the coat. The habit is of much
service to horses living in open plains.
On being turned loose at the end of a
journey an Arab horse rolls in the
sand, which acts as blotting paper,
absorbing exudations from the body.
A shake removes the sand. and the
coat soon dries. Cavalrymen in hot
climates sometimes put sand on their
horses as the simplest and quickest
way Of drying them.-Selborne Maya

TELESCOPE LENSES.
The Small Glass Magnifies the Picture
Made by tho Large One.

INC omail ItaSS ma9nIfeS the Picture
Made by the Large One.
People sometimes wonder why tele-
scope has two glasses, one at the big
end and one at the little end, and they
want to know the difference. The glass
at the big end is to gather light 1t
Is simply big eye. If it is hundred
times bigger than the eye in your head
it will gather a hundred times more
light. It gathers the rays of light COM
ing from star and bends them all into
a common meeting point called TO-
Gus, which is picture of the star.
You can look at this picture of the star
with your naked eye if you like. But
you can see it better and examine it
more closely if you look at it with a
small magnifying glass. And this is
the glass at the small end of the tele-
scope. 1t magnifies the picture made
by the big glass at the other end Of the
instrument. All telescopes are built on
this principle. Sir William Herschel
was the first to arrange matters lit
tie differently. He took away the
glass from the big end and admitted
the rays coming straight into the tube
in parallel lines. Then at the bottom
OF the big tube he placed bright con-
cave mirror made of FURNISHED metal.
When the entering rays fell upon this
mirror they were again bent to point
called focus, which was the picture
of the star. To look at this picture he
hadto place the little magnifying glass
at the side of the tube because the
mirror had stopped up it's lower end

GOOD WEIGHTS ARE WANTED
Pure Food Law Causes Sentiment In
 Favor of Full Measure.

Western Newspaper Union News Service. q
 Since tne lederal pure 1oOQ law went into effect there is a general sentiment against all forms of fool ing" buyers, which extends to the fruit growing interests. Containers should contain the full quantity which they are supposed to represent, the barrel a barrel, the bushel a bushel, and the quart quart Otherwise they should be so marked as to indi- cate the amount they contain. Here tofore the pear box received in New York from the West contained forty pounds, whereas an actual buShel Of pears weighs fifty-six pounds. Vest ern growers pack their apples in tiers or layers irrespective of weight In the future the box will have either to be changed so as to show the actual quantity or the quantity given on the package. Growers or assocations or der large quantities of boxes in ad- vance, and it is not possible to switcl off on new package on short notice Nevertheless, it is a good plan to give full measure rather than short meas ure, all things considered, and if marketing conditions and expense does not favor this, change them so that they will and leave the grower q fair profit.

SEPARATOR NOTES.

Some trouble is experienced by hand separator users Tn not being able to get satisfactory results from their machines after they have been using them for a few months, while no such trouble was experienced at first. Test the setting of the ma eLine with a good level occasionally. Usless a separator is kept perfectly level it will not run properly and in time the bearings will be ruined.
 Another common fault is to get careless in the turning. If the ma chine is turned too slow or irregular you cannot get the pest of results, regardless of the make of separator that you have. Time yourself with watch every few days and make sure that you are running the ma chine as fast as it should be.
 Read over your instruction book often, you may find that you have been neglecting something important Q the best working of your separa- tor.

FORECAST OF NEW FARMING
His Coming Means Application of More Modern Methods.

The pioneer stage of farming is about over. Another generation will see the last of the free land snapped up. The younger men among us will find land values increased during their day in proportion to the dearth of land and the increase of demand. Idle acres will slowly come into use. Wildcat speculation will gradually sober down. Time will bring about the adjustment of the type of farm ing to the soil and market conditions of the locality. We shall hear less of 'big money" crops. We shall find contentment
 We are even now in the midst of this transformation of the farming of continent. So long as the west lay open to the settler even the aging and soil-worn east set it's cap jaunt- fly on it's head and farmed in a don't care" way, Now, in the span of life given to the average man. all this is being changed. The farm becomes property rather than a speculation; the farmer business manager rather than real estate boomer, says the Farm, Stock and Home. He is grow ing less concerned about a big show ing, and more interested in fair profit plus the maintained fertility of his acres The business farmer has already arrived!
 His coming means the application of factory methods to the farm. It means the more complete use of the land as an agency of production. It foreshadows the immeasureable growth of power as applied to the work of the farm, increasing thereby not only the output. but also the demand for labor that must be skilled in order to hold it's own. It portends close, effective cooperation between farmers, and the advent of a new factor into industrial, and pos sibly into political life, viz: the farm CT as an organized unit. The present forecasts a future of a largely in creased number of small farms, espe- cially near the great markets, on the one hand, and great estates-either privately or comparatively controlled, on the other. The middle-sized, non cooperating "got-it-alone" farmer Is due on the cards of destiny to grad ual elimination.
 We should begin to look these sO- cial facts soberly in the face and to shape our course of action according ly. Let us begin to build our homes, our barns. our schools, and our neigh borhood organizations not for the mo ment, but rather with a eye to the future. Let us shape our business along solid rather than on showy lines-work into good stock, organ ize comparatively for mutual benefit along every possible line study the large economics of the business, and educate our boys and girls to beat out record if they can
