LOOKS LIKE NO BARBECUE.
Looks like Blakely’s 4th of July
celebration Is going by default. The
W. O. W., which offered to handle
the routine work if sufficiently en
couraged by the public, have received
such scant encouragement that they
have decided not to shoulder the
burden. So if we are to have a 4th
of July welcome for our returned
soldier boys, somebody must put
iheir shoulders to the wheel and get
busy.
RETURN ENGAGEMENT OF
“A DAU.GHTER OF THE GODS”
The L’o/.y Theatre has succeeded
in securing for next Wednesday
the million dollar picture beautiful,
“A Daughter of the Gods,” with An
nette Kellermann.
This picture was shown here a
few months ago at admission prices
of 25c and 50c, but a downpour of
rain prevented many who wished to
'see it from doing so.
This magnificent moving picture
has been acclaimed as the most beau
tiful moving picture ever produced,
and the feats of Annette Kellermann,
the perfect woman, in the production
are marvelous.
If you saw it before, you will want
to see it again. If you didn’t see it,
don’t miss the opportunity of seeing
it next Wednesday, when it will be
shown at the small admission price
of 15c and 25c, two shows only, 8:00
and 9:45 p. m.

VENTRESS-CAMP.
■>
Clayton (Ala.) Record.
A news item of much local interest j
was received here a day or two ■
since, announcing the marriage of |
Miss Veta Ventress, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. J. C. Ventress, of this place,
to Mr. Lester Camp, of Blakely, Ga.
The marriage occurred at the home
of the bride’s aunt, Mrs. Howard
Moore, of Ensley, Ala.
This happy consummation was an
event little dreamed of by her many
friends at this place. Few, if any,
beyond father and mother, knew that
between the two —the one an artist
in music, teaching here in America,
the garden spot of the earth; the oth
er a soldier boy in far away France,
where poisonous gasses and scream
ing shrapnel mowed down brave com
rades on every hand —that between
these two a union of hearts had been
formed destined to outride the storm
of battle and live to bless and bright
en another American home.
From those far flung battle lines
the groom brings no decoration from
emperor or king. He was simply
one of that innumerable host whose
units combined to hurl the despot
from his throne. In the sanguinary
conflict at Argonne Forest, with the
82nd Division of his country’s heroes,
his contribution to the fighting
strength of the Allies was an indis
pensable factor, and a greater than
Foch or Clemendeau has bound upon
his heart and life the imperishable
badge of duty well performed.
It seems to us but yesterday or
scarce so long ago since there was
wont to be seen upon our streets
hand in hand with her mother, a lit
tle barefoot child, with tresses so
black that midnight shadows seemed
to play hide and seek among them,
with eyes of jet that flashed their
way into the heart of every lover of
children.
At such a time, let us say, the
immortal hero of the Catskill moun
tains went tqj sfleep. Today, in
place of the little prattler of twenty
years ago, he awakes to find a blush
ing bride, standing under festoons of
June roses, receiving the congratula
tions of scores of friends, land yield
in e.-tnJhin} .that love and devotion
so persistently sought and so brave
ly won.
Cut This Out and Take It With You.
A man often forgets the exact
name of the article he wishes to
purchase, and as a last resort takes
something else instead. That is al
ways disappointing and unsatisfac
tory. The safe way is to cut this out
and take it with you so as to make
sure of getting Chamberlain’s Tab
lets. You will find nothing quite so
satisfactory for constipation and in
digestion. advt.
