Tmm M&rwm Ivimjvm* Perry,' Thursday, August 21. Cotton LOCAL NEWS,. Fifty Years United. The crowning social event of the season, of Elko, was the cele bration of the fiftieth anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Means at their hospitable home last Saturday. Mr. Means and wife were as bright, jovial and entertaining as they were on their first entrance into the train that has been running these fifty years. They have lived where they now reside for forty-eight years. They then, of course, have known all who have lived and now live in this vicinity for these many years, and their friends are those who know them. There were only two who congratulated the happy couple at this their golden wed ding who were present at their marriage—Mrs. Sallie E. Means (nee Miss Dunwoody) and Prof. T. M. Means. The home was beautifully deco rated, and looked so fresh, tender and pleasing to the eye. It natu rally caused the aged to think of their tender and youthful years before their foreheads and cheeks had been traced by these many years. ' The invitations read from 10 to 4 o’clock, and for those hours their granddaughter, Miss Emmie Means, and Miss Mary Kill'en of Perry, received the guests. Mrs. W. L. Means, assisted by Mrs.jW. R. Davis and Mrs. J. M. Poole, attended to the satisfying of the inner man with all that was ca pable of satisfying, while Misses Sulu Means and, Clyde Buff serv ed apollinaris lemonade from a bowl buried in ferns and entwined , in vines. The presents wore many and all very pretty and handsome. No one could know better how to appreciate these tokens of love and friendship, than this happy couple. A list of all who attend ed, would be infringing your space, as there were over one hun dred. Besides the congregation, the bride and groom received many letters from old friends, who could not be present,making many pleasant wishes. Everyone present expressed themselves as being most pleas antly entertained and with a new resolve to tread the remainder of their untrodden years in more usefulness and exert better influ ence—as has this noble and Chris tian couple. This is the third “Golden Wed ding” that has been celebrated in Mr. Means family. His brothers, Mr. Jno. Means and Mr. Ander son Means, having proceeded him in this happy event. Reporter. Elko, Ga. \ *•.«.«*- GOOD FENCING CHEAP. Ready Butlt, Woven Wire Fences Are Winning Their Way on Merit. Good, tight, durable fencing can now be put up on every boun dary of a farm or plantation so cheaply that there is no excuse for broken down fences and costly neglect that costs more in injury to growing crops than would pay for new fencing. The factories are turning out such immense quantities of the steel wire fencing known as the American Field and Hog Fence, that the price has be come wonderfully low, consider ing the fact that the best Besse- mersteel is used and highest grade galvanizing. The fencing comes from the factory in rolls of forty rods and less and the setting of posts is the chief labor involved in modern fence building. The American Fence stands all kinds of strains, heat and cold, bulls and boys. It is the fence that fences and the fence of real economy. It is sold in all parts of the country at the general stores. Everybody interested in the fencing problem should put up a section of American fencing and see how it stands in competi tion with fences that are built with a great deal of hard labor and at greater expense.
