Too Late,

After the guests had waited for half
an hour iii a Berkshire church for the
bride to arrive messengers were dis
patched to the livery stable to- try to
discover what had happened. The lv-
eryman, made to understand that he
had omitted to send a carriage to her
house, acknowledged that all the
blame rested on him and apologized in
manly fashion, but when they suggest
ed that he should proceed to remedy
the delay he failed to see the point.
"What'll be the use o fetchin' 'er
now?" he argued. "The service II be
art over."-I4ondon Globe.

SHIP PLANT IS CLOSED

Brunswick, Ga, June 8.-While
something over 500 men reported to
Manager Skinner of the Brunswick
Marine Construction Corporation that
they had decided to return to work,
he notified the committee from the
strikers that he had decided to take
up the matter with the New York Of
flee and ordered the gates to the great

This came in the nature of a sur
prise to the workmen and the people
generally. 1t may be sometime before

HOW OLD ARE YOb?

Atlanta. Ga. June ll.-Can you
prove that you are under 2l or over
81, or must you forever be under the
possible suspicion Of having falsified
your age?
The war. the draft bill, the military
registration, have brought up this
question in Georgia in light that
compels attention, and when the leg
islature meets in annual session or
the fourth Wednesday in this month
there will be stronger demand than
ever before to give the state an eff.
Gent system of birth registration and
vital statistics.
Georgia cannot go to any record
except where private family records
are kept, to find out the age Of any
man or any woman. Ignorance OF
their age is notorious among negroes,
yet in time of war the negro is called
on for military duty the same as a
white man.
Georgia has no record OF her man
power.

Atlanta, Ga, June 9-If Mahomet

Accordingly the judge dispatched

ter the oath to the FIVE young law
