President Woodrow Wilson was
fifty-six years two months and four
days old when he took the oath of
Office March A, 1918. He "a the eighth
native Of Virginia to attain the presi-
dency.
About two years after Woodrow Will
sons birth his father accepted a call
to the pastorate Of the Presbyterian
church of Augusta, Ga. This was at
that time one of the most influential
congregations in the South, and TIE
elder Wilson remained as its pastor
throughout the Civil war. He was rec
ognized as one of the leading dlvines
of the South,
Woodrow was only i've years old
when the war broke out, and as Au-
gusta was not the scene of any actual
conflict, the boy knew little about what
was going on. He was also shielded
from the stormy passions and violent
prejudices of the war, and grew up
into manhood unwarped by sectional
hate.
The elder Wilson did not force the
education of his son.. He took him on
journeys about the city, visiting fac
tories and explaining to him how cloth
is made. He also read to him by the
hour. But the boy himself did not
learn to read until long after the aver
age age when children are supposed to
read. This Is rather remarkable when
one thinks of the omnivorous appetite
for books the president has always
had. But when he did learn to read
he more than made up for lost time.
He is, at the present time, one Of the
most widely read lei in this or any
other country.
The early years of the presidents
life were spent in the interesting
though inconspicuous pursuit Of knowl.
edge. He specialized in the law, in
American history, and in political
economy. With this foundation laid
he burst upon the political world II
1910 when he was elected governor Of
New Jersey on the Democratic ticket
In the second year Of his governor
ship his boom for president was start
ed under the management of William
F. McCombs, one of his former stu
dents at Princeton. During the pre-
convention months no less than half
dozen other entrants for presidential
honors made their appearance.
At the subsequent Democratic ma
tional convention at Baltimore, Jun,
2s-July 2, Mr.. Wilson beat out all en-
: tries with a vote that increased a
each roll call till his victory was re
corded on the forty-sixth ballot. Il
: the election that followed he was a
easy victor over the Taft and Roose
welt tickets, though his entire popula
vote did not reach that accorded Wi
liam Jennings Bryan in 1908.

. President Wilson is the son Of JIG
: seph r. and Jessie Woodrow Wilson
I disciples Of the Scotch Presbyteria
faith. He was born In the manse of

WEDDING CUuM|NATES
LADIES AID MEETING

A pretty wedding was the finale of
the Methodist Ladies Aid society
meeting at the A. H. Deiters home
on Thursday afternoon, when Rev.
R. H. Craig united in marriage Thos.
Blecha and Belle F. Stimson, both Of
Manning. The happy couple applied
to Rev. Craig at the parsonage, but
as no witnesses were present, a happy
thought dawned on the reverend
pastor. Off they marched to the
Deiters residence, where the whole
assembly of guests witnessed the
beautiful ring ceremony of the M. E.
church. '
The bride was dressed in a blue
travelling suit, having just arrived
from Rockland, Ohio, where she spent
the last three years since making
final proof on her homestead one
mile south of Manning, where the
young couple will make their home.
Mr.. Blecha also has a homestead
about five miles west of Manning.
He came out from Massachusetts
about eight years ago and has made
good out here.
The Deiters home was prettily deco
rated with a wealth of sweet peas
and asters. Little tables were set
here and there in a spacious parlor
and a four course luncheon served.
A number of new members were
taken in at this meeting and the
ladies' subscribed $4,000 toward the
new church, which will be erected in
the near future.
