Beautiful Home Wedding.

Tuesday at noon Mrs. Sallie Brooks
Moseley became the. bride of Mr.. s.
Mouzon Smith, their marriage occurr-
ing at the home of the former on Jeter
street. The wedding was quiet, new
ertheless beautiful, one. Rev. A. l..
Gunter, pastor of the Methodist church,
oficiated.
The lower floor of the home was
beautifully decorated in green and
white. In the parlor where the cere-
mony was performed the decorations
were especially artistic. Smilax and
tulle were draped above the folding
doors, the tall windows and cabinet
mantel. Ferns, palms and other pot
plants added beauty to the background.
Cat flowers were also used in great
profuslon in the parlor Only the i'm
mediate families of the bride and the
groom were present, and after they as
sembled in the parlor Mr. Gunter en-
tered. The groom entered the parlor
with his father, Mr.. Gamewell M.
Smith, and the bride was accompanied
by her sister, Mrs. Ellie Brooks Jones,
of Columbia.
Immediately after the ceremony all
repaired to the dining room, which was
likewise attractively decorated, where
a sumpJuous wedding feast was served.
An elaborate menu of all the season 8
delicacies was bountifully provided.
Mrs. Moseley is a daughter of the
late Capt. James B rocks and a sister
of General U. R. Brooks of Columbia.
He and Mrs. Brooks attended the mar
riage. Mr.. Smith is likewise de-
scendant of an old and honored Edge
field family. He is graduate OF Wot.
ford college and has been q member OF
the Edgefeld bar for about twenty
years, locating here soon after leaving
college. The friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Smith are delighted that they will con-
tinue to reside among US.

Are You a Croaker?

"a croaker sat on the grumbler's
bench and croaked that the town was
dead and neer did once he lift his
hand to push his town ahead. He
cursed and swore with all his might
such a town he ne'er did see-the
times were dull, the stores were bum,
as bum us bum could be. And so he
sat from early morn, each bright and
happy day, and croaked and croaked
with all his might till the summer
passed away. And then one night
while the wind blew cold, when the
winter time had come, he croaled his
last and closed his eyes upon his earth
ly home. But when he reached the
other shore-the city bright and fair,
it was no good, twas dull and dead, he
ne'er would enter there! And since
there was no other place, to the croak-
er's fate he went, unmourned by man,
unwept, unsung-none cared q bloom
in cent.-Anon.

Concerning Pastors Salaries.

Is your pastor receiving the same
salary that he did 10 years ago, when
the cost of living was about half what
it is at present? Doubtless home de-
mands, providing for an increased
family and the education of children,
are greater yet the minister's expected
to pay his bills promptly and ''keep up
appearances on the same meagre
salary. Few ministers receive what
they earn, this being especially true of
country pastors. AS the cost of living
advances and demands upon their in
come increase, the salary of the faith
full, self-sacrifcing minister should
likewise increase. Teeming thousands
of ministers are underpaid but who
ever heard of one being overpaid, re-
ceiving more than just and proper
return for services rendered the church
and community? In these times of fl
nancial stress and strain, when the
salaried man suffers most from high
prices, see that your pastor receives
adequate compensation to supply his
needs, and some more besides.

Feed the Little Birds.

Be mindful of the birds during win
ter. They are your little feathered
friends. When the snow comes or the
ground remains frozen all day feed the
birds. Let them know that you are
their friend. Have them light on the
piazza or'gather about your chamber
ber window to feed upon bread crumbs
or hominy. Besides relieving the hum
ger of the birds, this thoughtful act of
kindness will soften and sweeten your
nature through the reflex influence.
When an opportunity presents gather
the little birds about you and make
practical experiment or application of
what we have suggested. The kindly
deed will not be without its reward.

BEAUIlFY YOUR HOME PLACE
1t Doesn't Cost Much But Adds a
Great Deal to Value of Property
Some Shade-Tree Advice.

Beautifying the home place is one
of the pleasures and duties of every
home lover. Homes that do not re-
fleet in some way the better natures
of their owners are not what they
should-be. Home is the place where
we spend the most important part of
our lives. Homes that are not cc-n-
forting to the tired home-maker have
lost all their charm and usefulness.
Homes should be made beautiful to
the eyes as well as comforting to the
body and nerves. If you will look
about you the homes that are the best
in appearance are homes that harbor
gentle people. Homes that are al
lowed to run to ruin are owned by
people who are careless and often
shiftless in their personal habits.
It is not hard to beautify your home.
It does not require lot of money or
valuable labor. II remember seeing
a little dooryard in st. Louis once in
which q few seeds had been planted"
says writer in Farmers Guide. "Pos-
sibly the place was not more than ten
feet square, but there was such an
abundance of flowers and grass on
that little dooryard that it gladdened
thousands Of passers-by every day.
That little place was tended by a
crippled girl. And 1t reflected more
than anything else the spirit Of gen.
erosity and gentleness which was her
predominating characteristic. Money
alone will never make q home beauti-
fui."
Many farmers plant fruit trees about
the house, but shade trees would be
better for the front yard.
A shade tree to be satisfactory must
be tall, thick and cover large space.
Unless it is pEuned high the grass will
not grow well under it. The most
satisfactory fruit tree Is almost Oppo-
site this in general characteristics. 1t
must be headed low in order to have
the fruit within reach at harvest time.
If it grows tall and thick there will
be very little fruit and it will be Of
poor quality. An open top or crown Is
necessary for the production of good
fruit, and with this condition the
shade Is not good.

HOW. TO PLACE BAY WINDOW
This Dwelling Ornament Must Be Put
Properly or 1t Will Mar Looks
of Your Residence.

Bay windows may add greatly to
the attractiveness Of a house, or they
may greatly mar it. They should be
judiciously used and carefully proper
toned.
An attractively detailed bay be-
comes an important feature In the ex-
terror design; therefore the interior as
pect should not be the sole considera-
ton.
Too often are otherwise we'll
designed houses marred by bays so
placed as to have q detached appear
ance. A bay, to be right, must seem
to have grown to the side Of the house.
Single-story' bays are more easily
handled than are those of two stories,
and may be either square or three
sided. If extending to the sill line
only, they require no foundation, which
is quite an item in the expense, and
for small houses they are extremely
attractive.
The two-story bay requires skillful
handling; otherwise it becomes an ap-
pendage most inharmonious. It should
correspond to the exterior finish Of the
houses. A successful treatment for
bays of this description is. to extend
the main roof out over the bay.
A clever architect can often accom-
plish q pleasing interior treatment by
grouping windows at the corner Of
room, thus giving to the room the ef-
feet Of bay, yet interfering in no way
with the exterior design.

PROTECT THE CHILDREN

More children have been killed in
eighteen months I'm the districts
where factories, homes and shops are
all iumbled up than in all other parts
of Chicago together. This fact ap.
pears i'm statement presented to a
committee composed of Aldermen Nc
Cormick, Buck, Walker and Werner
by Aid. Merriam showing why the
city council should be authorized by
the legislature to create building dis.
tricts or zones, as provided in bill
he introduced last May for recon-
mendation by the council to the next
general assembly.
"Many streets In the congested
neighborhoods of our city are used as
Fairgrounds for the children" says
Aid. Merriam's statement. This is
especially true In the immediate vi
entity of a public school. The coming
of business establishments and fac
tories into such neighborhoods in.
variably brings more and heavier We.
hicles and increases the danger to the
children from accidents.
"The number of children killed
while playing on Chicago streets is
appalling. II we are to make our
streets safe for our children and re-
duce the number of little ones who
meet death on the public thorough.
fares of Chicago, we must segregate
our factories and our shops and our
stores and keep them away from our
homes. Business and industrial neigh
borhoods must be kept separate from
residential districts.
"In addition to a much desired re-
duction in deaths and injuries to chill.
dren and grown people, the creation
of business, factory and home zones
would bring about other important
benefits. It will protect against de.
probation of property values both the
| home owner and the investor. II
| would materially lessen fire hazards
and bring smaller insurance rates. It
would add to the enjoyment Of our
home life by Kidding the places where
we live of the nuisances of clouds Of

door, accompanied by the rafting and
clanking of machinery and the befoul.
| ing of the air by foul gases. With a
general improvement Of home condi-
tions will come also more economi.
cal and orderly industrial develop.
