A quiet home wedding that was of

kansas, on Saturday morning, Jan.
3rd, at 11 o’clock, at the home of the
parents of the bride, Mr. and Mrs.

to their friends, as no announcement
of it had been made. Only immediate
relatives witnessed the ceremony,
which was performed by David Albert
Howard, pastor of the First Baptist

Mrs. Brown as Miss Burden was
quite popular as a member of the
younger contingent in the city. Mr.
Brown holds an important position

Immediately following the cere

WOMAN’S CLUB TO “CARRY ON • >
The fjrst meeting of the Woman’s
Club fer 1925 was characterized by
a full attendance and a community
spirit for which Fort Valley is so
noted, and the labors of such a group
will surely redound to her glory and
prosperity. The New Year brings a
time of review and a time of resolu¬
tion, and as the club women look back
over the things achieved and the
things left undone, they find in both
an incentive for renewed endeavor.
That which has been accomplished
f< 1 the progress, of our city and for
the promotion of . the happiness and
welfare of many proves the virtue ol
persistent effort, and that which is
hoped for and not yet realized is but
a challenge to our courage and faith,
and a clear call to “carry on.”
With gratitude for the good gifts
of the old year, the Fort Valley Wo¬
mans Club will pvfch on into a reali¬
zation of greater things for the New
Year upon which we are now enter¬
ing.
MEETING OF WOMAN’S CLUB

Tuesday afternoon, Jan. 6 , with Mrs,
A. M. Solomon as hostess.

presiding. The secretary, Mrs. J. C
Wilson, read the minutes of the last
meeting, also a report op. the Christ
mas box sent to the Veteran’s Hos¬
pital in Augusta.
Mrs. Cornelius Hall reported that
rehearsals for the play to be produc¬
ed jointly by the Woman’s Club and
the Kiwanis Club, are now in prog-
1 ess.
The play, “Mrs. Temple’s Tele¬
gram” will be given Jan. 16, the place
not yet decided upon.
At the close of the business ses¬
sion, Mrs. O. D. Williams took
charge of the program. Two very in¬
teresting papers were read:
“The Russo-Japanese War” b\
Mrs. T. J. Shepard.
“The new Woman in Old Japan”
by Mrs. Edwin Martin.

concerning women, concluded the

nearest thing to it in our

long bill. So we thought we’d try out
a few rhymes and decide which pro¬
nunciation we like best.
The pleasure you give to us, Kiwanis
Is greater, by far, than any price.
If grouch should take place of your

Every cook would turn to a demon s
On ladies’ night, Mr. Kiwanis,
Each guest feels like a Baroness.
You’re s’posed to be models in your
town, Kiwanis,
And we follow our leaders, just like
this.
After trying them out, we like best

But in all our days we’ve never met

HARMONIOUS PEACH
Sometime ago Mr. Charles W.
Wood had an article in one of the
magazines suggesting that America
has an “inferiority complex.” We are
inclined to believe that Mr. Wood has
not looked around so considerably as
he thinks he has. Iri fact we guaran¬
tee that he has never visited Peach
county or attended one of her mass
meetings. Or he would acknowledge
a rare exception in the home of the
peach.
Peach county does not boast to
cover some defect. Peach county is
always sure of herself. Peach county
has shown the world that she is not
apologetic concerning politics. If sju
throws out her chest it is because she
is justly proud of herself. And when
she brags it is always collectively
and about something. Criticism does
not annoy her for the simple reason
that she never hears any, in fact all
visitors are so magnanimous in their
praise and good will that it would be
an impossibility for Peach county
to have an inferiority complex.
Peach county tells the world that
has no money, furthermore she
is proud of the fact that she accom¬
big things without money or
little money. She caiims thrift,
and good management along
co-operation as the secret of
ier success.

bridge between here and

marks of co-opeiative development
which the Central is showing
great faith in Peach county.

PEACH COUNTY 1
C. M.
Peach County is in Georgia, boys;
In growing fast and great:
And rightful means today employs
Mankind to elevate.
'
For her there is a higher room
By right divine to take,
And reap the fruit born of the bloom
That honest efforts make.
Gaunt famine, boys, can never coma
To him who faithful tills
he soil of his allotted home
Just as the Father wills.
I
The value of our real estate
Is more than tongue can pen:
Consists of women pure and great,
And noble, godly men.
No limit in the field of growth
Can ever be assigned
To any county loyal both
To God and all mankind.
With progress we shall keep abreast
If we but dwell in love;
Shall rise to heaven’s endless rest,
And dwell with saints above.
