grandeur, though our strength was
unequal to the great privilege.
1t was a real pleasure to take the
little trips on the water and then en-
joy the view Of the country from land
over the level road, almost miles and
miles and no elevation whatever. The
road being shelled, looks like, in the
distance, asphalt drive-ways in parks,
because flowers of nearly every dis
cription grow profusely.
No censure for an investment in
autos over roads like those over which
we were permitted to enjoy several
drives through different sections. 1t
was great pleasure to travel the
section of South Georgia where my
parents spent the early days of their
married life, during the trying days
of the '60's. Through the entire south
section of Georgia, much stock is
raised. Miles and miles of inundated
land. Much of the swamp lands are
becoming valuable by way of drain
age.
The Everglades of Florida are now
in great popularity. In these swamps
of Georgia and Florida, the ugliest
and most bear-like swine are often
the sole inhabitants. If looks can
scare, the hogs have face to demand
lions bravery, with tusks three and
four inches long, which sometime
grow upword. And eyelashes that
look like wire, setting east and west.
The natural growth on the South
Georgia soil is the cabbage palmetto,
principally, but many magnolias, live
oaks and some few orange trees.
From the Southern R. R., the pine in
dustry is in evidence. Surrency and
Baxley noticed had the largest ship
ping facility for turpentine.
The peculiar growth of the pine is
its long, straight body, 40 or SO feet
or higher, not limb or even a rough
knot, and away up is top as SYM
metrical as can be, umbrella shaped
down near the ground with funnel
like trunk. The ty-ty bay and saw
palmetto have only one leaf to the
stem, with edges like the teeth Of a
saw, hence the name. The fragrance
from the ty-ty bay is very pleasant.
And by the way, we were informed
that an extract from those south
Georgia pines is being utilized into

Dear Advertisers:

Dear Advertiser:
After all the fighting is done and a
rosy halo begins to grow, as it al
days does, over the past, we think
that it seems a pity that the swords
must be beat into plow shares, and
the crosses cease to be made, for
there are no more soldiers coats to
pin them on, not because we want
the fighting ever to occur again, but
because we like to see the marching
men living symbols of the construc-
tive right as against the destructive
wrong.
On the twenty-ffth of April there
were none of US who had souls so
dead that we would forget to say to
ourselves that this was indeed our ma
tive land as we saw the twenty thou
sand khaki-clad veterans of the great
war march by. There were some too,
who did not march, the wounded ones
who rode in car after car, veritable
army themselves of men who looked
more cheerful than vast numbers of
us on the side lines, enjoying health
and strength.
"The heart of the crowd kept time
to martial air" and looked at regi-
ment after regiment till it seemed,
when a space came in the lines, that
the whole avenue was gliding along.
So keen was our attention that we
continued to see the dizzy lines NOV
ling on after the men had passed.
1t was great day. None would de-
ny that; great because every civilian
had an opportunity to see the soldiers
who were heroes. When they put on
the khaki, they died, as far as they
could tell to all future. prospects of
success and ambition. Because they
did not breathe the last expiring
breath, makes them not the less he
roes. In cause like that, dying con-
sists in the mental attitude, the will
ingness to make the supreme sacri-
flee.

bore will 4a-"d in museum or

and was at home on furlough at
the time of her marriage.
Mr.. Parker had been in Edgefeld
several days, and made friends of all
who met him. He is stationed at
present in the army and navy build
ing at Washington, still in the service
of his country as marine.
The marriage on Wednesday after
noon was attended by the immediate
family, the next door neighbors and
those necessary to carry out the
plans of the occasion.
The parlor was beautifully deco
rated and as tastefully arranged as,
| if it had been church wedding. The
altar was covered with roses of pink
and white, and the beautiful cere-
mony was performed by Rev. r. e.
Lee. The bride wore navy blue
coat suit and the groom the dress
suit of the marines.
The attendants were Joseph Tim
mons and Miss De Ette Maynard, of
Greenwood, little Miss Janette Tim
mons, acting as ring bearer.
Mrs. Tillman played Mendelssohn's
wedding march as the wedding party
came in, the bride and groom enter
ing together and taking their place
under a lovely wedding bell of pink
and white and in front of the altar
most tastefully designed and execut-
ed.
After the ceremony and the con-
gratulations were over, fruit punch
and pound cake were served.
Mr.. and Mrs. Parker will spend
several days in Edgefeid before re-
turning to Washington.

NEW HIGH CURVE IN
CANNING CLUB RESULTS
Display at Southeastern Fair
Will Show Phenomenal Ac-
cOmplishment of Extension
Service of Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture.

The canning club exhibit at the
Southeastern Fair, October 1921 will
surpass that of all other years and
will especially reflect the results
which were brought about through the
necessity of increasing and conserving
the food supply on account Of the war.
Every county in Georgia has had the
opportunity to have this instruc.
ton from experienced demonstrators
and it has worked a revolution among
the farmers wives and daughters. The
educational phase of the boys and
girls work in this connection will be
shown in exhibits of canning, cook
ing, breadmaking, sewing, garden pro-
ducts and other home work.
There will be special club days,
Wednesday and Thursday when all
club members will be admitted for
rs cents. There will be special
program and parade of members in
front of the grandstand for the pur-
pose of impressing those witnessing
the races and free acts, as to the
importance of the work.

Sanitary science has of late made
rapid strides with results that are of

necessary to attend to internal santa

foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-

daisy by opening the sluices of the sys-
tenn each morning and flushing out the
whole of the Internal poisonous stag

Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning before
breakfast, drink glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the stom-

days indigestible waste, sour bile and
poisonous toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach The action of
hot water and limestone phosphate en-
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
vigorating. 1t cleans out all the sour
lamentations, gases, waste and acidity
and gives one a splendid appetite for
breakfast. While you are enjoying
your breakfast the phosphated hot
water is quietly extracting large vol
ume of water from the blood and get
ting ready for a thorough flushing of
all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both

stomach trouble, rheumatic stiffness:
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly compilations are
urged to get a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store.
This will cost very little, but is suffi-
cient to make anyone a pronounced
crank on the subject of internal san
