Holiday Wedding

On OUuCSudy, OCCClIk1Cl ~,
1917, the Methodist church in
McCrory was the scene of one of
the most beautiful weddings our
little city has ever known. The
spacious auditorium and gallery
were filled to overlooking, long
before the appointed hour, with
relatives and friends of the con-
tracing parties, Mr.. L. w.
Sturdivant Of McCrory and Miss
Lallie Browning of Henderson
vile, N. C.
Promptly at the set time, $3.50
o'clock o. M, the sweet strains
of Mendelsshon's wedding march
were played by Miss Ida Tarp-
ley who presided at the piano,
playing through the ceremony
McDowelPs ITO a Wild Rose. .
Miss Tarpley was tastefully
gowned in braided taffeta of
old blue, wearing a corsage of
beautiful yellow Killarney roses.
Preceding the ceremony Miss
Della Jeffries sang in her clear
sweet voice, Because" and was
indeed pretty in her dress of
toque charmeuse.
First came the ushers, Messrs
G. G. McCrory and M. K. Wher-
ry. after whom the groom and
his best man, Mr.. R. H. Abbey
Of Webb, Miss, entered from the
north entrance, meeting at the
marriage altar the beautiful
bride and her stately looking
maid ofhonor, MissPaulineMcFall.
The ministers came from the side
entrances and took their places
just in front of the bridal party
where the marriage ceremony
was said in a most earnest and
very impressive manner by Rev.
F. A. Lark of Heber Springs.
The ring ceremony was used,
after which Rev. J. R Nelson,
Pastor, prayed a short but splen-
did prayer.
The bride never looked lovli-
er and was attired in the most
exquisite taste. She wore her
golng-away suit which was of
held mouse broadcloth very
deliberately trimmed, and hat,
shoes and gloves ensuite. She
also wore gorgeous set of rose
fox furs and carried a beautiful
shower bouquet of orchids and
valley lilies. Miss McFall was
gowned in a pretty afternoon
dress of white broadcloth with
bodice of georgette crepe and
black velvet trimming, wearing
a corsage bouquet of pink Kill
larney roses.

HOG CHOLERA SITUATION

The hog cholera situation is rather
encouraging throughout South Dako-
ia, very few outbreaks existing at the
present time. Two outbreaks are
known in Beadle county and two in
McCook county. However, these were
quickly cared for by the various au-
thorities and the loss has been small,
Further spread of the disease is not
expected to any great extent. The
few cases that now exist seem mild
in form and very easily controlled
with serum treatment and the proper
sanitary measures. The foregoing
does not, however, give hog raisers
any excuse for becoming lax in the
present methods of caring for hogs
as the loss of n of these animals
means considerable to the owner and
the cause of the country as well.-Dr,
G. s. Weaver, U. S. Inspector

Thinking mother, dear. of you,

But before we reach their trenches,
They are beaten back dismayed,
And we hear the cry of victory DER

And the Allies eyes grow bright,
And the Sammies' hearts grow brave,

Line the War Clouds
With Your Silver
last April the war cloud left the horizon
IL and spread over our entire sky.
Its silver lining consists solely of the re-
sources of America IN men and money.
For these alone can bring a victorious, swift
end to the war.
To keep that silver lining bright and evident,
all of us who stay at home must do certain
simple and very necessary things.
First of all we must Save-nOt only large
amounts with which to buy Liberty Bonds, but
small coins to buy Thrift Stamps and War
Savings Stamps.
These small savings are really as important
as the larger ones.
Through them the government expects us
to lend the country two billion dollars-elght
billion quarters.
Every quarter you save by doing without
unnecessary luxurles buys a Thrift Stamp.
When you get sixteen of these Thrift Stamps
turn them in at any post office, bank or regular
appointed agent and you Will get one War
Savings Stamp.
This savings stamp is the governments
promise to pay you, at the end of five years,
one fve-dollar gold piece.
These $500 War Savings Stamps are e-
changeable for cash any time between now and
January 1, ] 1923, upon giving ten days written
notice to any money order post office. You
get the cost price plus accumulated interest.
By buying them you make available money
that now has no effect in hasteninp victory

had to wade down little creek which

any splash or noise would bring the

THE water was freezing cold, as the
streams leading into the Rhine come
down from the mountains, where snow
and ice are TO be found almost the en-
tire year. The Rhine here at this point
was about 700 feet wide, with a very
swift current, running about eight ia
nine miles an hour. There are numerous
whirlpools in the stream. making 1t a
nasty swim under the best of conditions.
whereas Willis and l were both much
weakened by our long flight and lack OF
proper food.
AS we stood knee deep in the water

This is a complete reversal OF the
commercial atmosphere that existed
when war began eighteen months ago
and therefore the major necessity for
law In repression of speculative activi-
ties Is 10 my mind rapidly passing. 1t is
our duty, however. to exert ourselves In
every direction so to handle our food
during reconstruction as to protect. our
producers and our consumers and to
insure our trades from chaos and panic.
While the expiration of the Lover
law can be faced without anxiety the
other functions of food administration
must continue. Some organization must
be continued or some organization must
he set up to guide our distribution Of
food abroad If it shall reach the most
deserving and the most neoessitous.
81 am leaving for Europe for confer
ences over the entire food situation, and
not Belgium alone. From our findings
there must arise the details of organi-
cation to meet the new situation. At
this moment Germany has not alone
sucked the food and animals from all
those masses Of people she has domi-
mated and left starving but she has left
behind her total wseckage OF social
