SHOWER FOR MISSES BLITCH.
On last Monday the heart of each
lady of the Methodist congregation
was set to fluttering by the receipt
of a white missive which proved to
be a subpoena to be and appear
at Cupid’s Court on Friday, July 27,
as witness in the case of the State
(of Matrimony) against Misses Fan
nie and Mary Blitch. In reality
the subpoena was an invitation is
sued jointly by the Missionary So
ciety and the Eltekan Class, to a
miscellaneous shower in honor of
the Misses Blitch, at the hospitable
home of Mrs. D. R. Deal. A large
attendance was present, despite tie
appropriate but unwelcome “shower”
which fell outside. The guests were
met at the door by M'rs. D. R. Deal
and Mrs. Emmett Freeman, and
ushered into the room on the right,
where stood the receiving line com
posed of Mrs. W. J. Grist, President
of the Missionary Society, Miss Alice
Groover of Valdosta, Miss Fannie
Blitch, Miss Mary Blitch, Mrs. Felix
Davis, President of the Eltekan
Class, and Mrs. Blitch.
After cordial greetings were ex
changed, the guests were conducted
by Mrs. W. R. Stewart and M'rs.
Chas. Smith into the next room,
where each registered her name in
the brides’ books and was served a
cup of refreshing punch from the
ample bowl marigolds and
presided over by Mrs. Chipstead
Grubbs, Mrs. Carl Hobbs, Mrs. Carl
Fryer, Mrs. Chas. Boyett, Jr., and
Miss Myrtice Deal.
Sweet strains of music sounded
through the house, and ushered by
Mrs. Charles Tabb into the adjoin
ing room, the guests discovered
Miss Eunice Talley at the piano,
while Miss M'ay Ainsworth deftly
wielded her violin bow. Mrs. Edwin
Brooks also contributed to the en
joyment of music lovers.
And now came the most interest
ing and “exciting” moment of all
Judge Cupid’s session of Court, —
a- visit to the Magic Well! Standing
beside the moss-draped well-boxing,
the brides-to-be alternately lowered
the very real bucket whose cable
ran over an equally real well wheel,
to have it come up filled to “drip
ping” by the fairy at the bottom of
the well, little Miss Mary Grist,
with tissue-wrapped and ribbon-tied
packages of various shapes and sizes.
These upon being opened disclosed
linen table-cloths, embroidered table
napkins, centerpieces and towels of
various kinds; laundry bags, aprons
for housework and fancy work; can
dle sticks, pieces of shining silver
for the table; cut glass vases and
bud vases, and swinging baskets for
flowers; boxes of stationery, bon-bon
dishes,—ln fact, a very real shower
of gifts to delight the heart of any
prospective bride. As the chorus o*
‘ohs’ and ‘alls’ gradually died away,
a salad course was beautifully served
by Mrs. Carl Fryer, Mrs. E. B.
Hamilton, Mrs. Henry Butler, Mrs.
Charles Deal, Mrs. Chas. Boyett, Jr.,
Miss Myrtice Deal and Mrs. Chip
stead Grubbs.
Mrs. Deal’s beautiful rooms were
profusely decorated with baskets of
rich yellow marigolds, and proved an
artistic setting for what was pro
nounced by all present a most happy
occasion. The Misses Blitch, daugh
ters of Rev. W. M. Blitch, pastor of
the Methodist church, have been but
a short time among us, but have been
taken to our hearts, and as they
leave us for their new homes, our
hearty good wishes for a fair future
follow them.
TO THE PEOPLE AT LARGE!
The time is drawing near for cotton to begin to move. I will
be glad to gin and store part of your crop, if not all of it. I
will gin your cotton and wrap it for $4.50 per bale. I take
your cotton from the gin to the warehouse and store it twelve
months for one dollar per bale. I not only store the pool cot
ton at this price—l store anybody's cotton at the same price.
The hauling of your bale of cotton from the gin to the ware
house, weighing it, storing it for twelve months (if you see
fit), then hauling it to the depot, will cost you one dollar
per bale. I will also see that you get the top of the maket
when you get ready to sell.
Yours truly,
T. B. HARRIS

FOLSOM-COWART.
The younger element of society
here was much surprised to learn
that on Monday afternoon, July 16,
Miss Miriam Folsom was married to
Mr. James Cowart, of Albany, Ga.
The ceremony was performed by
Notary J. M. Hughey, of Lynn Hav
en.
On account of the youth of the
bride objections were raised to the
union and it was not until Tuesday
of this week that the couple took
matters into their own hands and
left the city in an automobile, with
out informing friends of their des
tination or where they would make
their home on the matrimonial road.
It is natural that the young couple
should receive the best wishes of
friends as to their future life, but to
the foster parents a feeling of re
gret that one so young as Miss
M'iriam should assume the grave
responsibilities of married life.
The bride is the adopted daugh
ter of Rev. and Mrs. J. L. Folsom
of this city, and has many friends
here. Mr. Cowart is a resident of
Albany, Ga., and is highly connected
there. —Panama City (Fla.) Beacon-
Tribune.
NEWBERRY-ROUGHTON.
ARLINGTON, Ga. —A wedding that
was a surprise to the bride’s host of
friends here was that of Mrs. Nola
Newberry to Mr. T. E. Roughton, of
Thomasville.
The couple motored Sunday morn
ing to Blakely where the ceremony
was performed by Rev. Mr. Blitch,
pastor of the Blakely M'ethodist
church, driving back to Arlington and
after a few hour’ stay here left for
the groom’s home in Thomasville.
The bride is the efficient postmis
tress of the local postoffice and is
held in high esteem by those who
know her. She is a widow of the
late Thomas Newberry. The groom
is prominent in life insurance cir
cles, being connected with a large
life insurance company, with head
quarters in Thomasville.
They will make their home here,
the bride will still have charge of
the local postoffice and the groom is
to be transferred from Thomasville
so that he may canvass his territory
from here.

this treatment I have been entirely
free from boils and very seldom
feel any of my old rheumatic trou
ble. I always keep a few bottles of
your medicine in my home, an<j it i
