FAREWELL RECEPTION FOR
DR.. AND MRS. MITCHELL.

It is seldom that Pensacola relin-
quishes residents who have made
their home here only short time
and yet whose impress upon the COM
muinty life has been such as to cause
the universal regret that is felt at
the coming departure of DR.. and Mrs
Charles r. Mitchell, who are leaving
Pensacola soon to make their home
elsewhere.
AS members of the congregation OF
TIE First Christian church they have
not only taken a leading part in
curch affairs, but their rare musical
gifts have given the music of the
First Christian choir local fame.
IN appreciation Of their talents and
as an expression of warm friendship
which is theirs, the members of the
church will entertain with a recep-
ton in their honor, in the basement
of the church, on Wednesday eve
ming, to which not only the members
Of the church are invited, but all
friends of DR.. and Mrs. Mitchell, who
wish to be present to join in this ex-
preston of hospitality.

LADIES TO BE ENTERTAINED
DURING MEDICAL CONVENTION.

PENSACOLA is becoming noted for the
hospitality shown at the conventions
which have come to be a valuable part
of the city's growth, and as at all of
these large gatherings many of the
men who attend are accompanied by
their wives, plans are always made
for the entertainment of the feminine
members, who add to the pleasure of
the meetings.
, At the medical convention which
meets here this week a large banquet
is to be given the physicians at the
San Carlos hotel, at which time an
informal reception will also be held
on the mezzanine floor of the San
Carlos hotel for the ladies in the
party.
Mrs. E. F. Bruce has been appoint
ed chairman of the committee for
the entertainment of the ladies, and
while no formal plans have been made
for their entertainment, every effort
will be made to assure their visit be-
ing one of much PLEASURE.

WEDDING

A great many relatives and friends
IN Pensacola are much interested in

social event, of which the Selma
Times says:
The marriage of Miss Louise Doug
lass Beers, of Benton, Ala, and Mr.
James Oliver Fisher of Selma, occur
red at the home of the brides mother
Mrs. Virginia Beers, this afternoon.
The beautiful country home of the
bride was exquisitely decorated with
roses, dahlias, palms and ferns for
the occasion. The wide colonial hall
was banked on either side with
handsome potted plants forming an
avenue of green leading to the parlor
where the ceremony took place before
an improvised altar of palms and
ferns through which the soft light of
yman candles twinkled.
Long before the hour of the we'd
ding friends and relatives filled the
spacious apartment.
Before the arrival of the wedding
party, Miss Lulu Wise of Selma, a
close friend of the brides family sang
"For You Alone" and as she finished
to the strains of Lohengrin's wedding
march played by Mr.. Joseph Roman
Groves, the bride and groom entered
the parlor from the hall and met Rev.
j. NJ. Dannelly at the altar, who said
the beautiful and impressive words
that made these young people one
for life.
Mr.. Earl Sanders of Selma officiat-
ed as, best man. Immediately after
the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs. Fisher
left for a wedding journey to Wash
ington and other points of interest.
On their return they will make Sell
ma their home, Mr.. Risher being as
ISOLATED with w. L. Ward and Son.
The bride is a charming and I'M
usually beautiful young woman and
has many friends in Selma, who are
delighted to know that she viii make
that city her home and viii extend
to her a most cordial welcome to all
the pleasures of its social life.
Mrs. Fisher wore handsome
travelling suit of brown velour in
her wedding, with beaver trimming.
A small brown, imported velvet hat,
shoes and gloves to harmonic and
carried a magnificent cluster of
American beauties.

HIS OLD WOMAN'S WAYS.

The science-fellers can tell the ways
NJ the stars, through the Lords e,er-
nal days,
The time that it takes the wind to run
Clean round the belt O. the blazin'
sun;
rs., every walk that a world may
roam;
=, track the comets, that have no
home;
.n' most O. the weather bureau men
ran hit the weather one time in ten;
Pint none can tell, in rain or shine,
The ways o the Woman the LORD
made mine!
Forty veers-come Christmas day
We've travelled together the selfsame
way,
An the times that lowed her mind
I Imowed,
| was in the wilderness, 'thout a
road!
The minute I said to myself ::"Sherl
see
That Wisdom at last abides with Me,
An I'm right for once, an I'm ''goin'
strong"
That was the time she writ me
Wrong"
An I'd say, as off to myself I'd gie:
@Blest if know that woman yit!"
But, thinkin' over the thousands
schemes
had for riches l seen in dreams;
Many project, many plan
Sure to make me a millionaire-man;
half way think if it weren't that she
Hadn't been travelin' long with me;
Put on the brakes-made the tram
stand still
When the wheels was rattlin' down
the hill
An I thought for sure I was goin'
some,
I wouldn't be here to tell how come.
I dunno the wherefore or the why
But we trailed on, to the J an by
An | no more ask to understand
As We go together, hand-in-hand:
I only know as the Night comes rast,
That We love each other to the last;
An when we stand where the light
don't fade,
At the Gate where the close enquire
ment's made,
With her I'll be hopin' some grace to
win,
For she'll give 'em a reason to let
me in!
Frank L. Stanton.
