MAR RE D.

WILLIAMS LovER-A wedding of
much interest was brilliantly solemn
lied on Wednesday, January 9th, at
high noon, when Miss Lula B. Williams,
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. j. II. Viii.
l!ams, became the bride Of Mr.. Carr
Sullivan Glover. of Americas, Ga. The
Williams home on Jefferson street was
most artistically decorated for the occa-
sion in a conventional green and white
motif, a wealth of greenery being eff
fectively used with the altar drapings.
The improvised altar. banked with
southern smilax and Easter lilies, was
arranged in the living room, where
showers Of smilax, Easter lilies and
lighted tapers Of green and white, soft
ly cleaning In silver candelabras, added
a beautiful touch. White satin ribbon
extended from the altar to the door,
forming the aisle down which the bridal
party passed. and was fastened to ped
estaIs twined in white tulle and Easter
lilies.
Preceding the ceremony Miss Harri-
son played Creteuscle and Mrs. George
Richmond sang "No Voice But Yours"
and 20. Promise Me-"
At the strains of Mendelssohn's We'd
ding March Master Hunter Scales
George, wearing a white suit, who
served as ring bearer, entered the liv-
ing room with a white satin pillow dec
Grated with shower bows of lilies of the
valley and ribbon.
Little Katherine Roberta Herbert
never looked more quaint than in her
dainty frock of grandmother'S organdie,
holding a basket covered with white
maline and filled with pink rose petals,
which she scattered down the aisle.
Next entered the bride on the arm of
the groom. The bride wore a hand
some tailored suit of brown chiffon
broad cloth trimmed in real beaver with
accessories to match, and carried a
shower bouquet of lilies Of the valley
and brides roses. The ring ceremony
was read by Rev. E. Nash Broyles, of
the Methodist church, in the presence
of relatives and a few friends. Follow
ing the ceremony an informal reception
was held, when the guests were vel
coined by Mr.. and Mrs. Williams. The
brides cake was ar ranged in the dining
room in a mound of Easter lilies and
fern. where Mrs. ]. G. Horton and
Mrs. Roberta Skinner charmingly pre-
sided.
Immediately after the reception Mr..
and Mrs. Glover left for a motor trip
in a seven-passenger Cadillac, a gift Of
the groom.

For the past ten days the weather

nasty about two weeks ago. During
the fore part of March we had snow
storm that lasted about two days that

snow did not last long and now the
farmers are again at work in the
fields. It is funny to see them pillow.
All that I have seen use the old fash
toned walking pillow with a mould
board. While they call it blowing
over here am afraid they would have
a hard time collecting any money for
the work in North Dakota, for to us
fellows it looks like they were lust
scratching around in the dirt.
Of course you have heard that some
of our boys have been in the trenches

LETTER FROM COVER THERE
Says Rudolph Backus Was Killed
in Front Line Trenches.

Exhibitor Calvin Andrist of Noon
an, and a former Ambrose boy, now
serving the colors in France, writes
as follows to Editor Fenske of the
Noonan Miner:
Somewhere in France"
est. Patrick's Day in the Evening"
Dear Charlie Last week l made
up my mind that when Sunday came
around l would write you letter, but
when l awoke this morning the sun
was shining so brightly and the
breath of spring smelled so sweet that
l simply could not resist the tempta-
ton to take stroll over the hills and
through the pretty valleys that lie
adjacent to our present camp, so my
good resolution went for naught. How
ever, it is not yet too late to make an
effort, so by the light of a tallow
candle and the assistance of Dor
rowed typewriter, will do the best
/ can.
Today is St. Patrick's Day, as you
will notice by the heading of my let
ter, and from the liberal decorations
of green that bedecked the boys in
khaki, one could almost imagine that
he was in the old Emerald Isle, with
sons of Erin on every side.
This afternoon I attended a mill
tary funeral. One of the drafted lads
from the Pacific who but recently was
attached to our regiment, died from
pneumonia. His remains were laid
to rest in one Of the most beautiful
and peaceful cemeteries that have
ever seen. We're it not for the fact
that he is buried so far from home
and friends, would say he had found
an ideal resting place.

CAUSED BY AMERICAN FIRE.

AMIERICUS, May 19.-Fire the
origin of which is mysterious, destroy
ed the Seaboard Air Line freight de-
pot here Saturday morning. l.. w
Slappey, a fireman, was hurt. A pile
of masonry narrowly missed burying
him alive. Two detonations during
the progress of the fire sock the en-
tire city These, it is said were caused
by explosion of two cylinders of oxy-
gen gas consigned to the Americas
Lighting Company, which were re-
ceived the day previous.
Two minutes before the fire was
discovered a switch engine placed
seven cars on the track alongside the
building but none of the crew noticed
any signs of fire, while the night
Waterman, who passed shortly after
wards, saw nothing suspicious.
Henry p. Everett, agent of the com
pany here, state no oil or gasoline was
in the building When the alarm was
turned in by policeman the depot,
a frame structure with metal roof, was
in flames.

in New York next November.

Under present conditions, said Mr..
Cody, there is no way of measuring
the ability of applicacants for genera
clerical, positions, as there is fol-
stenographers, typists and bookkeep
ers. Employers hire them and take
chance, with resultant lowering OF
Office efficiency and discouragemnt OF
some young people who are forced to
go through two or three failures be
fore they find employment which
they fit. -
The plan advocated by the Associ'
ated Schools calls for listing, by mum
| Der rather than by name, of pupils
about to leave school for employment.
Opposite the key number is stated the
nationality of the pupils parents, fol-
lowed by this school ratings in the
fundamental studies. The business
man may select from this list the re-
quired number of boys or girls whose
recorded qualifications appeal to him
him and interview them. Thus he has
brought before him for employment
only applicants who are fairly likely
to meet his needs.
The test of New York High School
students for employment records is be-
ing conducted by school officials. Up
on it's completion there cards will be
furnished employers desiring them by
the New York State Clearing House
for Employment Bureaus which CO.
ordinates the efforts of all non-fee

Greater New York.

cords were submitted to 300 employers
of Office workers, nearly all of whom
testified to the practical value of the
plan. This approval prompted under
taking city-wide test of High School
students efficiency the result of which,
soon to be compiled, will be available
for use by business men. This will
provide the most elaborate trail of
