THE CARTER-MATTHEWS MAR
RIAGE--FARMERS BUSY PRE-
PAIRING TOBACCO BEDS.

Lake City January 21:-The copl-
Gus rains Friday and were Saturday
followed by week of lovely spring
weather. When one considers the
ideal winter days we Southerners
enjoy compared to the weather OF
our Northern friends, who at this
time write of bitterly cold and
clustering winds, we wonder, ism t
this another feature of our South
land that we we can proudly boast
of. Especially when one isn't over
Iy fond of purple fingers and red
noses.
Everywhere in this section farm
ers are busy preparing the soil for
the cultivation of the spring crops;
a trip of some twenty-five miles
Monday caused one to think that
our farmer friends haven't such an
easy life these dull days as one
would imagine, for those who were
not plowing were building fences or
outbuildings. Long and narrow
white covered patches could be
seen from the roads, which, as we
all know, are the famous tobacco
beds, and evidently our farmers in
tend to be ready with the goods
when the tobacco season rolls around
again, Judging from the number OF
these beds" we saw.
Traffic in fertilizers and hauling
has recommended and it has added
quite business-like look to things.
Down at the freight yards long
lines of wagons wait for their sew
eral consignments.
On Tuesday evening, January 81 /,
Miss Mary Sue Carter became the
bride of Mr. J P Matthews, both OF

this was the first marriage of 1914 !,
