Thus sang the Brook so charmingly
under the spell of Tennyson's magical
personification; but while giving a
voice to the babbling streamlet the
poet, with equal skill and propriety,
might have reminded us in similar
vein, but with a deeper tone, of the
endlessness of time, which like a great
river runs ever on and on:
For men may come and men may go,
But Time goes on forever!

years when through her guidance and
love and direction they developed

PRYOR HENDERSON

A marriage of cordial interest to
a large circle of friends was that of
Miss Susie Pryor, the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. R. S. Pryor, and Pro-
lessor Ernest. Anderson, of Gray
mont, Ga, which was impressively
solemnized last Thursday morning at
eleven-thirty O'Clock at the home of
the bride, near Smithville.
Before an improvised altar built of
Southern smilax and twining vines of
bamboo, among the leaves of which
cleaned lighted wedding candles,
stood tall vases, filed with white
rosebuds in combination with sprays
of lace fern.
AS the first glad notes of Mendels-
sohn's wedding march were sounded
by Miss Zera Cooke, Rev. C. T.
Clarke, pastor of the Methodist
church at Smithville, entered and
took his place Immediately in front
of the altar. The bride, who entered
unattended, was unusually lovely in
a tailored model of dark blue cloth,
with which was worn small hat in
harmony. She carried corsage of
orchids entwined with valley lilies.
She was met at the chancel by the
groom, and to the harmony of soft
ly rendered love song played by Miss
Cooke, the words were read which
bound them in the hottest tie. Only
the family connection and few very
close friends were present.
Immediately following the cere-
mony, the dining room was entered,
where an elaborate wedding break
fast was served. The table held for
its centerpiece an exquisite ar
rangement of pink roses held in a
crystal vase, surrounded by pink ia
pers held in pink rosebuds. Wedding
bells in white tied with pink ribbons
marked the places for the guests,
while the favors were dainty baskets
filled with sailed nuts, and tied with
pink tulle.
Seated at the table were Mr.. and
Mrs. Anderson, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
S. Pryor, Childers Sheppard, Miss
Mary Pryor, Miss Grace Anderson,
Miss Frances Pryor, Miss Lola Dell,
Miss Zera Cooke, Miss Julia Pryor
and Miss Trudio Taylor, of Quincy,
Fla.

noon for a honeymoon journey

Negro Schools Kills
36 Hogs For Meat

Americas Institute, the negro Bap-
fist college located on North Lee
street, of which Rev. M. w. Reddick
is principal, has just completed the
slaughter of SO head of hogs from
its school farm, which dressed out
5000 pounds of pork.
This is in addition to hogs that
have been killed to furnish meat for
the school dormitory during the en-
tire fall term of school. There are
still % head of hogs which will be
turned into meat when weather is
suitable. All of the meat will be
cured and 5000 pounds at least will
be marketed, the total being con-
siderable more than the school re-
quirements through to next fall.
All of the hogs were developed
and fattened on the school farm,
some of them being narrowed there
and others bought as pigs.
