A prominent and very popular
Young couple, Mr.. Robert B. Davit
and Miss VelIna Rhodes, both Of Mt
Carmel, were quietly married at the
home Of the brides parents at that
place Wednesday evening at s o'clock
The impressive ceremony, said By
Rev. R. A. Wood, pastor of the Clop-
ton church, was witnessed by only the
immediate families of the young con
tracing parties.
The house was beautifully dec0rat-
cd with ferns and roses. Miss Grace
Whitley, Of Whiteville, Tenn, cousin
Of the bride, presided at the piano
Miss Lillian Rhodes sweetly sang q
Love You Truly. Miss Pauline Whit
lev very sweetly sang Soul of My
Soul. The bride was dressed in q
travelling suit of blue silk and a white
Milan hat, with accessories to match

Upton NOTES

Upton is still on the map and at
the old stand and Is hourishing. Ihe
war clouds do not seem to affect bus
mess there. It takes vim, vigOr and
push to make business 90 and the
gentlemen in business there are full
# the above qualities. Two Of the
merchants there are also farmers
while their wives attend to the stores.
It is thought by a great many that
those gentlemen who are engaged IN
farming as well as merchandising are
better farmers than merchants, while
their wives are better merchants than
they are.
Crops are looking well ia this COM
munity with the rains and warmer
weather. Both corn and cotton are
much improved. Stands of corn are
very good. The stands Of cotton are
not so good. There are fewer weeds
and less grass in the fields than were
ever known before the first Of June.
Many Of us have heard farmers say
If they could have all their May grass
and weeds killed by the first Of June
they had no fear of having any trou-
bic with their crops. If that be true,
it Is to be hoped they will have no
further trouble Some of our farmers
are overburdened with industry; as
the ground is too wet today to scrape
cotton, they are chopping it without
scraping.
Mr.. D. F. Rhodes has been quite
sick from an attack of malarial fever,
but is now able to be up.
Mrs. Eliza Tenant has been quite
sick from an attack Of pneumonia,
but is now able to be up.

years and months old. Their names

MUSICAL

An excellent musical program, in
the interest of the Chautauqua enter
tainment, was given in the auditorium
of the First Methodist church last
Monday evening. The program was
interspersed with speeches from Col.
VIM. Sanford, Hon. R. B. Baptist and
Hon. L. E. Gwinn, who spoke in be-
half Of the Chautauqua and its adj
vantages to the community.
The choir rendered two national
anthems, and those who rendered vocal
solos were as follows; Misses Lima
Hamilton, Ursula Elan, Sarah Owen,
Anne Sanford and Willie Townsend.
Although the congregation was
rather small, il is doubtful that that 9
more interesting program was ever
given. Particularly is this true Of the
vocal renditions of the young ladies',
all Of whom were in excellent voice.

CITIZENS OF MASON UNFURL
STAR-SPANGLED BANNER
Patriotic Throng Wildly Cheers When
the Folds Of "Old Glory" Are
Thrown to the Breeze.

The good people Of Mason and sur
rounding country were IN gala attire
last Monday afternoon, when the pa
triotic citizens were in attendance 70
witness the raising Of handsome ma
tional flag, purchased by popular con-
tribution for the occasion. The event
had been looked forward to for sew
eral days and every preparation was
made to make it demonstration Of
loyalty and patriotism surprising all
similar events in the glorious past OF
the little city Of Mason. The business
houses of the town were closed and
almost every home in the community
ives represented at the scene.
Rev. j. IL Latta gracefully presided
and introduced the numbers Of the
program, which was splendidly ar
ranged. DR.. H. G. Williamson, pastor
Of the First Presbyterian church Of
Memphis, was the principal speaker
on this occasion, and as he rose to the
platform, facing the enthusiastic
Gathering laiid annlause greeted him.
Throughout the minister's discourse,
he emphasized the seriousness Of the
conflict with Germany and urged his
hearers 0f both sexes to prepare
themselves for the probability Of a
prolonged war, explaining the gravity
of the situation on account OF the
collapse Of Russia and the exhausted
man power of France. He further
stated that this was an Anglo-Saxon
and Tentonic war, and gave a brief
historical comparison Of the two ma
tionalities, showing tor what princi-
pies Of government each nation had
contended ID the past. He said, furth-
er, that from his observation it was
svident that Almighty God had pre-
parcd this day of world conflict for
theAnglO-Sax0n to triumphantly as
sert the freedom and liberty Of mani
kind Oh the red field Of battle and for
ever crush the autocracy and imper-
ialism Of the Germanic peoples. In
conclusion he paid beautiful tribute
To the Southland and entreated his
hearers to bear their part in the
struggle for liberty. He particularly
urged them TO grow enough food for
their own consumption.
Following the address of DR.. VIII
hanson, Hon. R. B. Baptist and Hon.
~. Il. Gwinn, Of Covington, made two
fitting speeches, harmonizing with the
spirit and enthusiasm Of the occasion.
While the elegant flag, with dimen-
sio1is OF 1920 feet, was being hoisted
to height visible at great distance,
i company Of young girls, prettlly
dressed ia the colors of the banner,
stood at salute. They also sang in
concert my Country, lis of Thee"
and the "Star-Spangled Banner, the
congregation joining in the singing.
The flag now gracefully rises above
tie little city as an emblem of what
the people Of that community stand
Tor The staff was presented to them,
previously, by DR.. Hopper, of Oak
land. The event which was made pos
sible by these patriotic people Der
serves much credit for its motives, TO
saw nothing Of the great throng IN
attendance.
