The church was most beautifully dec
GRATED to represent an Italian garden.
Each column was entwined with green
vines, pink and white roses and dainty
May baskets at intervals along the bor-
der. At the background a rainbow
reached across and formed an appropri-
ate setting to this already beautiful
picture,

Long before the hour appointed the
ushers, Messrs. Allie Swami, Jr', and
Stevens Boswell were kept busy, and
had gallantly escorted each guest to
comfortable seats and every one was
anXiously awaiting the approach OF the
bridal party. Concealed behind a bank
of ferns, cut flowers and palms stood
the organ, where Creighton Allen, with
all the gentleness and harmony Of his
muslc-loving soul, sent out on the still
night air the beautiful notes of the

HE EXPLAINS
FORD MERITS

Harry Manley of the Manley-
Thompson Co. says:
Ford springs are another fea-
turs of special merit, combining
the strongest practical value in
construction and securing the
easiest possible riding qualities. a
striking advantage by comparison
with the cumbersome, heavy and
complicated spring construction of
most other cars.
Here's another practical merit
in the Ford favor-it is the light
est weight car built. considering
its power-and you know that
light weight is an essential both
for economy to manufacture, in
maintenance and comfort in rid
ing. The Ford weighs several
hundreds pounds less than the or
binary car of equal power and car
rying capacity.
Light weight reduces the cost
OF up-keep because 1t reduces the
wear and tear on tires, by giving
more miles per gallon OF gasoline
and by lessening the strain upon
the car ITSELF"

mules that were offered Monday were
declared to be as high as they have
been known in Columbia in recent
years. 1t was no trouble to sell mule
on Monday. The difficulty came in
buying them. More people, farmers
and regular mule buyers, wanted

The high prices and active demand
we're accounted for on two grounds.
First farmers have been taking ad-
vantage OF the big demand for mules
the last year or two and have sold
1own to the very lowest point. Then
they are going to need more mules

have needed in many years. This is
