Atlanta Girl Agreed to
Marry Him But She Really
Did Not Recall His Name

ATLANTA. Ga, Oct. ITO be mar
ried after an acquaintance of one day
that is an ordinary, everyday affair."
but to be married after an acquaint-
ance of one day when you had to be
introduced to the man to whom you
were engaged in order that you might
know his name, and incidentally, what
yours was going to be-well, girls,
that's different, isn't it?
Miss Gertrude Wood, of Tampa, Fla,
and Miss Juanita Walker, of San An
tonic, Tex, we're visitors in Atlanta
and while downtown Friday afternoon
they met James Corsna and Homer L.
Carroll, two soldiers now stationed at
the recruiting office in the postoffice
building. Miss Walker and Carroll
We're known to each other Cosrna
was introduced to Miss Wood, but his
name, as usual, was mumbled, and
Miss Wood could not at the time ask
that it be repeated. They were talking
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-10-02
about something else

Miss Walker and Carroll noted that
Miss Wood and Corsna were congenial,
but let it pass without special com
ment under the general head of kin
dred spirits. How kindred their spirits
were the other couple were apprised
IA few hours later, when Cosrna an
nounced in time to Miss Woods
bushes that they were engaged.
Skip the exclamation marks!
They parted for the evening.
Carroll, as best man elect, was also
elected to go Saturday morning fo pur-
chase wedding ring. He asked Miss
Wood to accompany him for try-on.
AS they were going downtown, she
didn't converse much, and Carroll ask
ed jocularly: What are you think
ing about?"
Il was just wondering" answered
Miss Wood, blushingly, what my fl
ance's name is. You know, | didn't
catch it when we were introduced"
Carroll re-introduced them, and
when they were married at 10 O'Clock
Saturday night by the Rev. Fred B.
Ricketts,, of 4S Larkin street, the future
Mrs. Cosrna knew what her name was.

REPORT BIC SALE
OF LIBERTY BONDS
SECOND DAY OF CAMPAIGN IN
GEORGIA Is BRINGING LARGE
NS-ORGANIZED EFFORT
EVERY WHERE.

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 2.-The cam
paign for the second Liberty loan was
/ started today with far better and
more perfect organization than that
which was available for handling the
first loan.
| In a statement issued regarding the
organization in the Sixth Federal re-
service district, Chairman w. c. Ward
law, of the Liberty Loan Executive
committee, makes an appeal for the
full support of the press, without
which he states, success will be I'm
possible.
The allotment to this reserve dis
trict, he point out is between eighty
and hundred and thirty million dol
lars of bonds, and he expresses the
opinion that the district will do its fun
share
Two substantial subscriptions
awaited the members of the Liberty
Loan committee when they arrived at
their offices this morning The first
large subscription received was that
from bank at Eufaula, Ala. for $780,
COO, while the first individual subscrip-
ton was for $500 from Mrs. Nellie
Peters Black, of Atlanta.
The boy scouts in Is cities and towns
Of the reserve district in the last
campaign sold $366,25O of Liberty
bonds, and they assert they are going
to more than double their work in the
present campaign. The Boy Scouts Of
Atlanta sold $51,750 worth, while
through their organization came an
additional $42 $50, making a total of
$4,000. Boy Scouts in other cities
and towns in thed istrict sold total
of $271,650. They are now ready to
50 to work with the beginning of the
campaign instead of waiting for it to
close.
The Executive committee for the ds-
trict desires to impress upon everyone
the opportunity to buy these bonds on
easy payments, or, as stated by the
treasury department, 2 per cent cash;
Is per cent on November Is; 40 per
cent. December is and 40 per cent.

WALNUT TREES MAY

know something Of the virtue of wal
nut propellers, and how this choice
American timber may play an impor-
tant part in giving Uncle Sam the
mystery of the air over the battle
fields of Europe.
L. M. Settlers, of Bristol, who has
handled walnut for many years, and
who is now interested in the Penrod
Walnut and Veneer Company, of John

Gently been shifted from gunstocks
to dimension stock for propellers.
Walnut" said Mr. Settlers, d" is re-
cognized as the most valuable timber
in the world for propellers. In fact,
it is the only timber found in all the
forests of the world that is unaffect-
ed by changes in the temperature, no
matter how sudden or severe, and that
does not yield to meteorological
changes. It is tempered for any
change, remains steadfast under all
conditionh, and is absolutely depend-
able"
