GREER.S

One of the prettiest of June we'd
dings was solemnized Wednesday at
$50 when Miss Helen Greer was
united in marriage to William Spaeth
at the Baptist church at Notus by the
Rev. Spencer.
The church was beautiful in its dec
orations of pink and white lattice
work and potted plants. Edgar Clip
son, brother-in-law OF the bride, sang
II Love You Truly" and 90, Promise
Me-" preceding the ceremony. To the
strains of Lohengren's Bridal March,
played by Miss Margaret GIBSON. the
bridesmaid, Miss Mabel Belmore, of
Glenns Ferry, Miss Madge Miller, of
Parma, and Miss Mabel Mcclure and
the ushers, Emery Vassar, Mr.. Ar
thur Greer, and Mr.. Yagel, of Parma,
entered, followed by the minister
Genevieve Spaeth, tiny niece of the
groom, carried the ring in the heart
of pink rose and the two little flow
ers girls, KaKthryn Spaeth and Ma
bel Faye Greer, scattered flowers
along the white way as the bride and
groom followed by matron of honor,
Mrs. Edgar Gibson, and best man,
Mr. Robert Spaeth, approached the
semi-circle formed by the ushers and
bridesmaids and stood under an arch
way of pink and white where the ring
ceremony was performed. The bride
carried roses and the bridesmaids an
arm boquet of pale pink snap drag
oons. The brides only ornament was
a cameo set in pearls, a gift of the
groom. Miss Gipson played "The
Perfect Day" softly during the cere-
mony.
At the reception given at the home
of the brides parents following the
ceremony about seventy friends and
relatives viewed the many gifts. The
young couple left for an outing, at
Payette Lake and will be at home to
their friends after July 18th at Notus.

insurance companies are entitled to a square deal. so is the

TOMORROW UsHERs IN 1921.

Tomorrow, Saturday, ushers in the first day of the year 1921. W.
welcome it, yet we almost shudder that 1920 has sped by so quickly
We part with the old year with feelings of regret because we see 81
many of our W frailties and weaknesses. 1t does seem that in al
these years that most of us should have better used the opportunities
of the year nineteen hundred and twenty.
Some sage has wisely said, that "time is the most subtle yet the
most Unsuitable Of depredatOrs, and by appearing to take nothing
is permitted to take all; nor can it befatsfied until it has stolen
the world from us and us from the world. 1t is the salutary cOun-
seor of the wise it warns II with a voice. that even the sageS dis
credit too long and the sliest believe too late. Wisdom walks before
time, opportunity with it and repentance after it."
We all know when we stop to think that all the above is true. Then
let us out of our experience and observation gained from 1920, make,
with divine help, the year 1921 the best in all of our lives. 1t is in
deed a reflection on us when we do not try to improve upon the past.
There are many sweet and hallowed experiences with 1920. May
the coming year bring to every reader of The Sentinel such gifts as
is implied in the Scriptures IN the passage, Seek ye first the king
dom of heaven, and all necessary things shall be given You
We live among the best people on earth. They have been good
to Us. The year 1920 has been good to us, and we look to the fu-
ture with that hope which should animate the life of every true
American and Of everyone who is privileged to speak the name Of
the Savior OF Mankind.
Let us forget anything unpleasant that perchance has come into
our lives or that has grown out of our acts or words during 1920, and
try to be more gracious, wiser, better, more consistent and more
charitable in all things in the year just ahead.
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1920-12-31
TELEPHONE

When the read justlnent of rates was asked by the Tele-
phone interests last year the argument in favor of it seemed to
us reasonable.
Not only was everything still on an ascending scale, but
the company needed additional income to meet it's cost of OPP
Grafton, and there was justice in the argument that, New Or
leans rates having been Increased to standard, country rates
should be brought up TO a proportionate level.
Now the company is asking another increase, applying
both to New Orleans and the country. But this time the argu-
ment is against rather than in favor of the advance and, in
Justice to the people, we cannot see how the Railroad Commits
A0n can afford to put this additional burden on them. New
Orleans is paying all it ought to pay for is telephone service,
and we presume this is also true of the country, inasmuch as
last years n,rease was intended to put the city and the
country on the same relative basis
One reason why there should not be an advance is because
the trend of prices must now be downward. The peak has been
passed and all materials, except newsprInt, and labor, if not
already moving downward are inevitably headed for a decline
1t is illogical for telephone rates then to go up.
The other reason which juStifies an adverse decision by the
Commission Is the unsOundneSs of the argument OF the com
pany.
1t maintains that IN order to improve and extend its bust
ness additional buildings and equipment are required. 1t will
be conceded this is true. But it is not in accord with sound
business principles to ask those who are already paying top
prices for the character of the service rendered to submit to
still higher charges in order to supply the company with the
revenue necessary to make the engagements and improvements.
The logical course for the company to pursue is to seek new
capital to extend and better it's service.
1t enjoys a monopoly and the telephone is no longer a lux
uy but an essential. If the increase is allowed the telephone
essential. He can go nowhere else for service. Only extraordi-
nary merit in the case of the company would, therefore, justify
the Commission in ordering the increase, and there is no such
merit as the facts are before us.
The above from the New Orleans Daily States Of Sunday
applies with equal force to Mississippi.
