In communication addressed to
the New Ulm Post, Consul Grunow
of st. Paul publicly announces that
on account Of complaints received at
quite number of consular agencies
the German Ambassador has notified
Mr.. Unger who recently showed pic
lures at Turner Hall, that in future he
will not be permitted to refer to the
German Embassy Of Washington, D.
G. as having put its stamp of approval
on his undertaking. It would appear
from this that such permission had
at one time been granted by the German
Ambassador.

But Retro9rade Movement Will Prog ress Further Is Belief In Washinuton

But Retrograde Movement Will Prog
 That Villa is rapidly losing ground in Mexico is the general opinion in Washington as result of the develop mcnts of the last two weeks and dis patches received officially from various parts of Mexico.
 That his retrograde movement will progress further before it is at an end is also the belief. While it is consid- cred that Villa must always be reckon ed with as a powerful factor in the Mexican situation as long as he is alive and in Mexico, many reasons are found for believing that for the present he has passed the high water mark.

Loans on Cotton
at 8 per cent

Last year the First National
Bank loaned money to EVERY
farmer who offered warehouse
receipts for cotton as security,
and by means of these loans
hundreds of bales of cotton were
stored and sold later at higher
prices which put thousands of
dollars in the pockets of our
farmer customers.
We do not advise the farmers
to store their cotton this year nor
do we advise them to sell at the
present prices. This is a matter
which should be decided by each
individual farmer according to
his needs and circumstances.
We are prepared however to
make loans, secured by ware
house receipts for cotton, to
those farmers who may wish to
hold their cotton at Six Per Cent
Interest.

AuIc -LdWECHCc.
The Florence Daily Times of
Thursday, carried the following,
in part, of the marriage in that
city on the 5th inst. of Mr.. F. E.
Audrey, of Fort Mill, and Miss
Blanche Lawrence, of Florence:
At Central Methodist Episcopal
church, Tuesday evening. Miss
Blanche Winifred Lawrence and
Mr.. Everard Ardrey of Fort Mill,
were joined in Holy wedlock by
the pastor of the bride, Rev.
Thomas Grigby Herbert. The
charm of this, the first of the
seasons weddings, was its
unique simplicity. The beautiful
Central church needed but few
decorations to make it a place
of marked brilliancy. The
Statliness of palms, broken here
and there by lacy ferns, formed
a background of rare beauty and
the play of the soft lights lent
an enchantment not soon to be
forgotten.
Before the bridal party ar
rived Mrs. Norma Howle Wysong
sang "A Song of Love" At
the first notes of Lohengrin,
played by Miss Carrie Cronen-
berg, there entered two daintily
gowned little ribbon girls, mark
ing the places of the honor
guests. Misses Jessie Wilson
and May Blankenship assisted
with the ribbons at each door.
The ushers were DR.. w. H.
Fields, Messrs. Boone Aiken,
Herman Smith and James Burch,
and each succeeding couple
crossed in front of the chancel
and took their places at each
side, forming a semi-circle. The
attendants following the ushers
were: Miss Mona Dudley with
Mr.. w. p. Meadows, Jr., Miss
Lucille Thomlinson with Mr..
Holt Ardrey, of Fort Mill, Miss
Mamie Burch with Mr.. John
Massey of Fort Mill, Miss Claudia
Lee Boinest with Mr.. Ryan
McCown. Mrs. Harvey Stevens
then came as dame of honor,
followed by the maid of honor,
Miss Lola Lawrence, sister of
the bride. After the maid of
honor came the winsome little
ring bearer carrying in a large
white rose the gold band to be
used in the ceremony. Then
came the bride with her father,
Mr.. A. B. Lawrence. At the
altar they were met by the
groom with his best man, Mr..
Frank Lewis of Fort Mill.
The bride was never more
charming than in her wedding
gown though simple it was rich
and beautiful in effect. The
bridal veil was effectively caught
with orange blossoms and the
bouquet was of brides roses
showered with valley lilies.
After the wedding reception
for the bridal party and a few
intimate friends and relatives
was given by the brides parents
at their home on Elm street.
