 We drive Fiat ambulances. They carry six wounded that lie down and eight that sit up, so you see they are rather large cars.

 France is very pretty country very rolling and no waste lands. The French people are polite and appre- ciative. The French language is hard to learn, as there are so many exceptions and only two genders-no neuter gender in French.
 Our food is very good, consisting of meat potatoes, rice, bread and wine-lots of it. We sleep in our ambulances on stretchers.

It is very inter- esting to hear the whistle of the in coming and outgoing shells and to watch the artillery batteries. fire. have been to one while it was in action.

One of the most enjoyable and IT. nancially successful entertainments ever given in Marianna was the pro- duction of the Womanless Wedding at the high school auditorium on last Frdiav night The idea was en- tirely patriotic. the contracting part ies being America and England, or Miss America and John Bull. MT. NJ. K. Newborn very capably rep resented the Statue of Liberty and announced the wedding guests as they approached, ushered in by MT. Reid. The idea, while patriotic, was entirely ridiculous, all the characters being represented by men. MT. Burk Mann represented America and K. k. Wild acted the character of John Bull. The flower girls and candle bearers were beautifully represented by Messrs Kitchener. Franklin, Wright and Williams. who, in their dainty costumes of pink and white, were received with loud applause. Perhaps no other member Of the party received more of an ovation than W. P. Harris, elegantly attired in black lace, jet trimmed. imperso- hating the mother of the bride, Co lumbia. The brides maids, each rep resenting one of the allied countries, were Messrs Robertson. Daggett, Turner and Benham. In fact, all the different characters were ably chari- catured. representing different for eign nations with the war interest depicted.
 Before the wedding party arrived quit a delightful musical program was rendered by Mesdames. Mayo, Smith and Word, interspersed with readings by Mrs. H. NJ. Jackson and Miss Martha Russ The Young La dies Club of the Methodist church deserves much credit for the success of the entertainment, and after all the expenses were paid, they had more than one hundred dollars to place in the bank.
