quested to send a LOAF with the re-
ceipt.
The committee would also be glad

which they have made for exhibition.
Any one unable to send their contri-
button, can have it called for Satur-
day morning by telephoning Miss
Marcia Carpenter. There will be
some one at the chapel during the

The Methodist Sunday school will

a star bearing the corresponding mum

Supreme Effort.
Germany called up her last reserves
within the last few days, according
to the London Central News CORE
spondent at Zurich, telegraphing un-
der Wednesdays date. All men who
previously had been rejected were
ordered to present themselves for re-
examination, and within "a hours all
not utterly incapacitated were on
their way to the training centers.
This action says the correspondent,
is attributed to the intention of the
central powers to make final effort
on the western front before Americas
help becomes effective.

London, Nov. 9-Kerensky's fall at
Petrograd means that the war Will
continue for longer period, accord

and that heavier burdens will fall up
on the United States and the allied
governments. The inevitable result
will be the withdrawal of German
troops from the eastern front for use
in other localities.
The only ray of hope is that the
operations of Lenine and Trotzky
will be confined to Petrograd, but the
tone of the newspaper expression is
pessimisuc.

London, Nov. 9.--The revolution in
act of the people of Russia, but mere
ly of the extreme radicals OF the
capital and the Socialist leaders in
the army,
There is still hope that the con-
servative elements of the country
will concentrate at Moscow and form
stable government, possibly q CON
stitutional monarchy under Grand
Duke Michael
1t Is not believed that Tratzky and
Levine can remain long In power and
there is hope for better things in their
promise to call a constitutional as
sembly If such an assembly is
called it is sure to he dominated by
representatives from the empire in
stead of by radical committee at
the capital.
1t is apparent, however, that for the
present Russia is out of the war and
the German and Austrian armies on
the Russian front will largely be re-
leased for service against Italy or
on the western front.
The most serious danger Is that the
million Austrian soldiers and quarter
of million Germans in the Russian
prison camps may be released and re-
turned to fight against the allies.
Russia has been in such state OF
uproar that the reserve supplies OF
food products, which might become
available for Germany, are not be-
lieved to be very large.

London. Nov. 9.-The bolsheviki,
the extreme radicals of Russia, have
won complete control of Petrograd,
after fighting, but Premier Kerensky
has escaped, perhaps to Moscow,
where it Is possible the provisional
government may set itself up. The
bolsheviki or maxamalists, headed
by Nikolai Lenine and Leon Trotsky,
propose immediate peace, and the
crisis is one of the extreme serious
ness for all the allies. Some of
Kerenskys ministers have been cap
tured.
The provisional government did not
yield without fighting. 1t did not cap
itulate until the Winter palace, the
seat OF government had been BON
berded by the guns of the cruiser
Auroand of the st. Peter and St Pau
fortress. The battle there was spec
tacular, an incident being the sur

there was some fighting elsewhere II

following to be the program of the

an immediate democratic peace; the

A PRETTY HOME
WEDDING SOLEMNIzED
MISS ETHEL BRIDGES BECOMES
THE BRIDE OF MR.. w. B.
DAVIS, OF COLEMAN.

One of the prettiest events of the
season was solemnized Sunday, 10th,
inst, when Miss Ethel Darnell
Bridges and Mr.. William Benjamin
Davis were married at the beautiful
country home of the brides parents
near Dawson.
The spacious home was an adora
ton of palms, ferns and cut flowers
with garlands of smilax tastefully
used.
AS the guests assembled they were
met and ushered in by Mr.. Luther
Bridges, brother of the bride.
Just before the ceremony the fol-
lowing prenuptials were fttingly and
beautifully rendered: "a Perfect
Day." by Miss Ozella Jennings, and
love, Here Is My Heart" by Miss
Bertha Lee. Miss Ida Lee Pritchard
played the Accomplishments.
AS the strains of Mendelssohn's
wedding march pealed forth the
bride and groom, without attendants,
assembled the hall from the rear to
the front, where the ceremony was
performed under an arch of South
ern smilax with artistic arrange
ments of pink and white chrysanthe-
mum. Rev. j. C. Claxton, of Edison,
officiated. During the ceremony Miss
Pritchard played "Traumerer" beau
tifully and impressively.
The bride was becomingly attired
in travelling suit of blue velour
with champagne boots, gloves and
hat to harmonic. She carried a bou-
quet of brides roses gracefully tied
with tulle
After the ceremony the bride and
groom mingled with the crowd, re-
ceiving hearty congratulations and
best wishes from their large circle
of relatives and friends Everybody
chatted gayly and freely, since ev-
erything was conducted in an inform
al way.
The dining room seemed the CEN
ter of attraction during the last
hour. There, amid the decorations,
the many elegant gifts were display
ed.
Late in the afternoon Mr.. and Mrs.
Davis left for the latter's home near
Coleman, Ga, where they will reside
in the future.
The bride is lovely type of young
womanhood, since she possesses all
those admirable traits that are so
characteristic of her sex, while the
groom is one of Clay county's most
prominent and prosperous you
farmers.
