A “MONKEY’S" DESCENT
The Dayton trial is getting
usual results. A news item tells of
man who had been chief warden
j a j lunatic asylum found walking
allfours in the city. When asked by
policeman who he was he
“The man who descended from a
monkey.” He said he was going down
in the woods, but he was carried in
a taxi to the asylum and is now an
inmate where he was warden before
this evolution trial came up.
NEVER BLOSSOMED ON A
MONKEY TREE
We won’t speak for the rest of the
world, but we are ready to cross our
hearts that the lovely babies we see
in Peach county never blossomed on
a monkey tree. It’s such a pity that
there is so much good brain matter
wasted in arguing evolution.
To quote G. Nash Morton in the
New York Times, “If human lan¬
guage can teach anything, Genesis
teaches that God created not only
matter but each vegetable and ani¬
mal organism ‘after its kind’—that
is, according to its species. In re¬
gard to man, three times it is dis¬
tinctly asserted that he was body,
soul and spirit, male and female, a
‘creation’ and, consequently not an
evolution. I
ANCESTORS”
Since evolution is the topic of the
day we’ll put this one under that
head, “A young negro boy was asked
if he had any ancestors. He said:
‘Nosser, boss, I ani’t got any ances¬
tors. I had ’em in my Laid once, but
I ain’t got any now’.”
CAUSEY—WHITE
Of cordial interest to friends and
relatives was the marriage of Miss
Euford Causey, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. J. T. Inghran and Mr. Houser
Eugene White which was solemnized
Sunday evening, July 19th, at the
Methodist church, Powersville, Rev.
Mosley, pastor of Tharpe Memorial
church, officiating.
The scene was changed into a
bower of loveliness by skillful hands.
Ferns were used for decorative pur¬
poses in pleasing array upon and
around the altar. Upon each side of
the altar were pedestals wherein re
posed baskets of pink crepe myrtle
tied with tulle in harmonizing effect,
against the back ground of green,
standing out in bow relief were cathe¬
dral candelabras holding burning
tapers.
The loyely arch where the bridal
stood was circled with trailing
and dotted about over it in
confusion could be seen again

When the Firemen Ran
I N THOSE DAYS, if the call to the volunteers was m
your behalf—if your home or your business estab¬
lishment was in flames you faced ruin.
There was no great organization to spread its protec¬
tive mantle over you to hold you safe from loss.
*
Today fire insurance is a great institution reaching
from business to the home with protective rates judged
exactly to the risk. It stands between a dread element
and you.
Fire need never mean a loss if you will insure and
be sure.
We care for your every insurance need.
