Our popular young friend, R.
R. Bus{ck, sprung a very great
surprise on his many friends last
week by quietly going to New
Orleans where he and Mrs. Rob-
bic Griffin Davis were happily
married on Wednesday, Novem-
Der 28th, the ceremony being
performed at the Baptist parson-
age in that city by DR.. Jordan,
pastor of the First Baptist
church. Mr.. Busick is one Of
the most prominent merchants
of the county, and is universally
esteemed for his many splendid
traits of character. His bride is
a beautiful woman, and moved
in the highest social circles, be-
ing loved and admired by every
one for her gentle, sweet dispo-
sition, and christian character.
We join their many friends in
best wishes for a long, happy
and prosperous life.
The people living in the Star
trade territory will learn with
pleasure that beginning on Sat-
urday morning, December 18th,
and continuing until Christmas
Eve night, they will be permit
ted to again feast in bargains at
the popular mercantile establish
ment of E. M. Odom. During
these eight days Mr.. Odom
intends to offer the best bargains
in all kinds of merchandise that
it has ever been his pleasure to
offer. We have just received
the manuscript for the circulars
announcing this wonderful mon
ey saving sale, and in looking
over the prices named for the
various necessities, we are con-
vinced that it will pay to go
many miles to share in this sale.
Watch for the circulars and get
ready-your dollars will almost
do double duty at Odom's during
this special sale.

The announcement of the

3Oth day of November 1917,

hearts, outside of his immediate
family. knew him best as a
soldier of the '60s, when as a
youth he enlisted and served in
Company |, (the Rankin Grays,) J
in the 9th Mississippi Infantry
Regiment. This Company was
the skirmish company of the
Regiment, and was generally put
in the front of the Regiment,
when it was about to advance on
the enemy; in my minds eye |
can even now see Wayne Sutton,
clad in gray. fitting from tree
to tree, amidst the smoke and
musketry of the skirmish line,
always going forward with his
company, until ordered to fall in
with the Regiment. For the en-
tire war he was faithful and
true, becoming Sergeant of this
splendid company, whose record
he did so much to help make.
Being a member Of Company B,
said Regiment, | can bear testi-
mony to his good service. Even
when the clouds of adversely
lowered, and hope for our cause
was about gone, he never COM
planned, but was always cheerful
and ready for duty.
After the war he became an
honored minister of the Baptist

The Briar Hill community will
miss him most of all, for it was
there that he labored longest for
the Master. Thirty years ago
he helped to organize the Briar
Hill Baptist church and from
that time until the day of his
death he was their faithful and
devoted pastor. Every impulse
of his great and tender heart
was with these brethren. He
baptized them. married them,
preached their funerals, wept
with them, rejoiced with them.
Though he has gone his re ord

To the bereaved widow who
has been so constant and de-

extend our sincerest heartfelt
