SOLDIERS PICNIC

Some Of the surviving soldiers Of
the Civil War are in the habit Of
having a picnic sometime during each
summer. The one for 1920 was held
in the College campus on Saturday,
the 14th inst. The ravages Of time
in the ranks Of the veterans Of a
half century ago are shown in the
lessened attendance. Whereas there
used to be forty or fifty of the old
soldiers and hundred and fifty or
more of them and their families at
dinner, last Saturday the number Of
comrades was only eleven and the
total picnic attendance about thirty
five.
The loss of numbers is in part
compensated for by the strengthened
comradeship and deepened comrade-
ship. After a bountiful meal, there
was an informal program consisting
of camp songs by Jas. NJ. Gabbert, an
address by Professor Dodge, remarks
by Mrs. A. F. Hays, etc. Others
came into the pavilion to enjoy these
exercises.

On Saturday. August IL, at four
o'clock, at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.

Miss Carol Early and Peter Smith
Gentry were united in marriage by
Rev. Chas. B. Holder. The wedding
was a very quiet one, only the i'm
mediate families of the young couple
being in attendance. No invitations
were issued. Due to the absence of
Miss Early's mother, the wedding
took place at the home of the groom's
mother. The bride looked very at
tractive in a frock of champagne
georgette, while the groom was at
tired in midnight blue cloth.
Aften the ceremony the guests
were served by Mrs. Jackson with de-
hghtful refreshments. The young
couple left on the sos train for Lex
ington and will visit relatives for a
few days, after which they will ac-
company the groom's mother to a
health resort and from there will
make a tour Of eastern cities.
For the present they will make
their home with Mr.. and Mrs. Jack
son and after the first of the year
will be at home on the groom's farm
west OF Richmond. We wish them
much happiness and prosperity.

thoroughly enjoyed.
The evening sermon was taken
from Gal. Sc. 1t takes Faith,
Works and Love" to make a real
Christian. Paul warns us against
being entangled again with the "yoke
of bondage" after we have been made
free. We know it is harder to get
out of a tangle than to get into one
and If God were not the patient, for
giving God that He is, the "yoke of
bondage" would be upon many who
through Gods love and mercy have
been freed.

George W. Corners, S. l.. YerlSss and ". c. Adams have been appointed a committee of the Alabama coal opera tors to raise funds to defray a substan- tiai portion of the $s7.50o required for the purchase of the site of the $4oo, 900 coal terminal at Mobile.

 The committee will canvass the coal operators immediately after the holiday today. and it is expected that the dis trict's share will be raised without ce- lay.

CAPT. .z.T. BOOTHS
 CALLED BY DEATH For Forty Years He Had Been Connected With Internal
 Revenue Service

Capt. Zachary T. Booth, for forty years connected with the internal revenue serv- ice, and one of the best known men in the city, died yesterday at noon at d local infirmary following an illness of pneumonia of a few days.
 The body vii be sent to Booth. Ala bama, his birthplace, at 9 O oclock this morning by L.ige Loy, where funeral services and interment will take place. He was T years of age, and is survived by brother, Joseph w. Booth, of Mont gcmery, and a number of nephews and nieces.
 In the death of Captain Booth every employe of the Federal building felt Il personal loss; many genuine expressions of regret were voiced when the news of his passing away reached the building. For many years he had been familiar figure around the Federal building and had always cheerful greeting for his friends and coworkers and was always sure of hearty good morning, Cap tain" inl return.
 Captain Booths long service in the in- ternal revenue department had given him a deep knowlerge of the service, and he had long been recognized as an authority on. all matters pertaining to the office. His advice was frequently sought in im- portant questions concerning the depart ment. Ills immaculate cOiieaSueS all Stdte he will be greatly missed. not only for his winning personality but for his val uable advice and counsel.
 There was not more kindly, courte- ous or more straightforward gentleman ever lived than Captain Booth.' said Col Iector John D. McNeel He never spoke i'll of any one, but on the other hand, vas always ready to help and defend those whom he thought unjustly assaii- ed.
 ..As to his services with the depart ment it was invaluable. He had facts and figures at his fingers end. his sug- gestions and counsel were always reli- able.
 He never married and grew to regard the department with all the affection a father has for a child, and no man in the government service here or eise- where was more faithful to his trust. Rain or shine he was invariably the first at his post each morning and was pains taking and careful in the discharge oi the many duties of his division. We al felt that his death is personal loss
