educational features arranged for
what is expected to be the greatest
gathering Of farmers ever held in the
South.
The thousands of cotton farmers
who are summoned here to discuss
ways and means for developing a
chain of warehouses in which to keep
their crop while awaiting higher prices
will find these demonstrations espe-

SHIP CLEMENTS.

One of the most interesting we'd
dings of the season took place at the
beautiful antebellum home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. G. W..
Shipp, near Water Valley, on Sunday
afternoon. August z, at $3.50, when
Miss Evelyn Shipp and Mr.. Gaylen
G. Clements were united in marriage.
Rev. j. S. Clements, father of the
bridegroom, saying the impressive
words in the presence Of a few friends
and relatives.
To the strains of Mendelssohn'
wedding march, played by Miss Mary
Brown, of Water Valley, came the
best man, Mr.. Robert X. Williams,
a young attorney of Oxford, and the
maid of honor, Miss Irene Shipp, sis
ter of the bride, leading the way down
the long stairway and into the parlor,
followed by the ringbearer, Master
Richard Stillions, nephew of the
groom, of Rome, Miss, and the flower
girl, Dorothy Sutton Brown, charming
little daughter of DR.. and Mrs. George
A. Brown, of Water Valley, in a
dainty frock of white organdy, strew-
ing rose petals in the pathway of the
bride, who entered on the arm of the
groom.
The double ring ceremony was used.
Master Richard Stillions, wearing a
suit of white satin, presented the
ring on lily.
The bride was dressed in travel
ing suit of navy tricotine with gray
accessories, and wore corsage bou-
quet of bride roses and valley lilies,
while the groom wore suit of navy
blue.
The maid of honor was gowned in
lovely rose taffeta and carried a bou-
quet of asters in pastel shades. The
best man wore a suit of navy blue.
Miss Brown, who played the wedding
march, wore beautiful dress of ye!-
low
The house was artistically deco
rated with ferns and pot flowers for
the occasion.

was served. Immediately the bridal
party motored to Oakland, where Mr..
and Mrs. Clements boarded the train
for Memphis, where they will stay for
a few days. From there Mr.. and Mrs.
SIeHeItS VIII go 70 Cne1f nome at
Rome, Miss, where Mr.. Clements is
a prosperous young druggist at that
place.
The bride comes from one of the
aristocratic old Southern families, and
is young lady of fine character and
accomplishments. The loss Of tlf;s
jewel in the community and home will
be the gain of Mrs. Clements and the
people of Rome.
Thirty years have elapsed since a
marriage has been solemnized within
this antique old home to awaken it
from its peaceful slumber. The former
one was that of Mr.. C. w. Ships
niece in 1891. -

the cotton at the market price at the
time when the cotton goes into con-
sumption through the mills.
This is only. one phase of the Con-
gress. Another will be the develop
ment of better marketing conditions
of vegetables, which would mean
lower prices to the consumer and
higher prices to the farmer. This
sounds like paradox, but it isn't. Re
tail prices are high because a poor
distribution system has been devel-
oped. A poor distribution system has
been developed because the farmer
don't get encouraging returns for
their produce. They don't get proper
returns because they don't produce
and ship in sufficient volume to have
voice in fixing the prices. And they
don't pack quality goods.
All these weaknesses are to be dis
cussed by an imposing group of ex-
perts, and the remedies are to be
pointed out. Better relations are to
be developed between the farmers and
the middlemen.
The railroads have cut round trip
rates 25 per cent. Here is how to take
advantage of the reduction. Buy a
ticket to New Orleans and take a re-
ceipt from the agent. Then register
at the Interstate Farm Congress head
quarters and you will be given GER
tificate which, upon being presented
at the ticket office here, will entitle
you to a ticket back home at half
fare.

CLEAN LIVING MADE LINCOLN PHYSICAL GIANT


 Local admirers of Elmo Lin coln will probably be surprised to learn that, as a child, he was so frail the family physi- elan advised his parents that he would probably not live to be year old.
 Yet he is toady a veritable giant. He is the tallest man in California and weighs 224 pounds.
 When Lincoln was eight months old, he was the victim of meningitis, and it left him weak, anaemic boy. Ten years later he shipped with an uncle on board sloop bound for the South Sea Islands. Two years later Lincoln returned to the port of San Francisco, TO- bust and happy. At the age of eighteen he was the tallest and strongest man in California. Then he adopted acting as a profession, and has thrilled millions of people with his act ing in some of the most notable motion pictures ever produced. When the National Film Cor poration was seeking a man whose ability and physique would fit him fer the difficult part of Trazan, Lincoln was finally secured, but owing to a previous contract the produJ- ton was delayed several weeks.
 He was the thirty-fifth man to be tried in the role of Tar gan, and was given a years contract within enc hour after arriving at the stuido and giv- isg trial performance of climbing.
 Lincoln has been an ardent athelete and ameteur physical culturist ever since he left home at the age of ten. He has sought strength and health through total abstinence from all forms of alcohlic drinks and tobacco.
 Lincoln is not fat. His 224 ponuds are solid muscle. And with his huge bulk, he is an alert foot racer. He has made his hundred yards in ten sec onds, and at Weight-throwing and shot-putting stands well up in amateur ranks. He has hoisted TOO ponuds from the ground, shoulder high, thirty four times in succession.
