Brooklyn’s waterfront experienced one of the worst fires in its his
tory, when explosions and flames recently swept over it. The Cuban liner
Panuco, at the pier, is shown after it was towed into mid-bay in a near
sinking condition. Fireboats are playing streams of water on it.
BRIDGES-FAIN WEDDING
Dignity and simplicity marked the
late summer wedding Wednesday
afternoon at five o’clock in the Trin
ity Methodist church, Tallahassee,
Fla., when Miss Nelle deMilly Fain,
eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Llewellyn Donalson Fain, became the
bride of Mr. Carl Bradley Bridges,
of Blakely, Georgia.
Ferns, smilax and palms were used
in the spacious channel of the
church to form a background for
the wedding party and interspersed
among the greenery were seven
branched candelabra holding white
tapers. White dahlias, white asters
and white gladiolas used in cascade
effect centered the chancel and be
fore this the young couple made
their vows.
A program of wedding music was
given fifteen minutes before the ar
rival of the wedding party, with
Mrs. W. H. Wall of Blakely presid
ing at the organ. Just before the
entrance of the wedding party Mr.
Don S. Bridges, of Atlanta, broth
er of the groom, sang “Because”
(d’Hardelot) and “At Dawning”
(Oadimond). Mrs. Wall used as her
program of music “Londonerry Air”
and “Berceuse” (Ilynsky), and
“Traumerei” (Schumann) was used
during the ceremony.
Just 'before Mr. Bridges sang, the
Ushers lighted the white tapers which
were placed at intervals among the
greenery, making an effective setting
for the wedding party.
The wedding march from Lohen
grin heralded the approach of the
wedding party and the ushers, L. I).
Fain, Jr., brother of the bride,
Walter deMilly and Burr Ragsdale,
cousins of the bride, and Perry
Bridges, brother of the groom, en
tered first, two at a time, and took
their places on either side the chan
cel center. The groom and grooms
men all wore white linen suits. Next
to enter was Miss Angel Fain, sis
ter of the 'bride, followed by another
sister, Miss Jimmie Lou Fain, enter
ing by the left aisle, who took their
places beside the groomsmen. Pre
ceding the bride, the inaid-of-honor,
Miss Mary Elbie Baggs, entered by
the left aisle. All three attendants
of the bride were gowned alike in
light blue dotted swiss, made tight
basque effect with sweetheart neck
and trimmed with pleating rows of
tiny buttons of the same material,
while the skirts were flounced and
Very full. The bridesmaids carried
arm bouquets in cascade effect of
yellow daisy chrysanthemums and
the maid-of-honor’s bouquet was
similar except the chrysanthemums
were of gold color.
The bride, who entered on the
arm of her father, was never love
lier than on this occasion when her
blonde beauty was enhanced by her
wedding gown of white taffeta and
tulle. The basque taffeta bodice
was trimmed with tiny self-covered
buttons ami the short full sleeves
were finished with a cuff of tulle.
The very full bouffant skirt made of
tiers of tulle and taffeta was floor
length. A Juliet cap of tuberose
buds held her finger-tip tulle veil in
place, and the bride’s bouquet was a
cascade of write Killarney roses, as-

which had belonged to her great
great-grandmother, Margaret deMil

which had belonged to her great
great-grandmother, Elizabeth Morris
deVere, both of -France.
The groom and his best man, Mr.
John Holman,, of Blakely, entered
from the door to the right of the
chancel and were met at the altar
by the Rev. Maureice Felton, pastor
of the Methodist church, who of
ficiated.
The wedding party left the church
by the right aisle while the organist
used the wedding march from Men
delssohn.
Mrs. L. D. Fain, mother of the
bride, wore for this occasion an aft
ernoon gown of rose eyelet pique
with accessories of white and a
shoulder corsage of white Killarney
roses.
Mrs. J. O. Bridges, mother of the
groom, was handsomely gowned in
ecru lace with accessories of white
and her shoulder corsage was of
pink roses.

CITIZENS TO
THE COLORS!
—By—
DOROTHY BALKCOM
The Winds of Chance blow over
I the world to-day, spreading the
flames of war. Already the clouds
I of danger hang over this country—
acknowledged by our President in
| a proclamation of unlimited emer
gency.
The head of this government has
issued a call for every citizen to be
loyal to the Flag and to take part
,in the defense of the nation. Every
[ citizen. . . .
In the past, a country needed only
I soldiers and sailors to protect it.
Modern defense is like a three-legged
stool, with each leg as important as
the other two, for if any one fail,
\ the other two are not enough. The
i three supports of a nation’s defense
[ to-day are its Army, its Navy and its
; Citizenry.
How have the Americans of Blake
ly and Early County answered their
I country’s call to the Colors?
Young men have gone from here
to serve in the U. S. Army, others
to serve in the U. S. Navy, while
other local Americans are serving
their country right here at home:
these last are part of the United
States Citizenry, which is as impor
tant to the nation as its Navy or
its Army.
The nation has urgent need of
aluminum. Not the Army, nor the
Navy, but the Citizenry has been ask
ed to provide this needed metal.
These Americans!—Mrs. John L.
Underwood, Mrs. M. T. Chipstead,
Mrs. Luther Robinson, Mrs. Spencer
King, Mrs. Curtis Middleton, Mrs.
Murray Brunson, Mrs. Ed Minter,
Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Donnan, Mr. W.
T. Cooper, Route 3, Mr. T. L. Cooper,
Route 3, and Mr. John Jarrett, Route
1, along with a great many others,
have ■ fished out their old alumi
num from closets, attics and the back
yard and have given it to help out
their country’s shortage of this de
fense material.
A small thing, perhaps, yet some
who could, have not done even this
small thing. Further, though it may
seem a small deed, in reality it is
an important thing. Uncle Sam
NEEDS that aluminum, or he would
not have asked his Citizenry for it.
Frofn week to week in this column
will be reported patriotic activities
of local Americans who are serving
their country in this period of un
limited emergency.
Blakely High Will
Have Football Team,
Coach Hammack Says
Any doubts that Blakely Hi would
have i football team this year were
cleared up Wednesday, when J. A,
Hammack, athletic director, an
nounced that Blakely would have a
representative at Colquitt Saturday
when the Southwest Georgia Six
; Man Football Association meets to
arrange schedules and elect officers.
The meeting was called by Pat M.
Dyar, Colquitt athletic director and
president of the Association.
Cou ity School Superintendent Da
vis announced that T. B. Clyburn,
superintendent of the Blakely
schools, would order uniforms for
the Blakely team within the next
few days. The old uniforms perish
ed in the school house fire last June.
The Sowega Six-Man League will
be a larger organization this year,
if all schools which have been in
vited to Saturday’s meeting have
teams. In previous years only Blake
ly, Cuthbert, Edison, Fort Gaines,
Colquitt, Dawson and West Bain
bridge have been members of the
sixhnan league. This year, in addi
tion to the above mentioned teams,
invitations have been extended to
Donalsonville, Shellman, Pelham,
Climax, Whigham, Damascus, Mor
gan, Arlington and Ochlochnee.
Weekly Meeting
Os Rotary Club
Held Last Friday
I The advantages that would accrue
1 to Blakely and Early county, from a
meat-curing and quick freeze plant

round-table discussion at last week’s
, meeting of the Rotary Club, held at
noon Friday at the Hotel Early.
The discussion was led by Rotarian
' Charles Boyett, program chairman
for the day, and joined in by several
Rotarians, some of whom had recent
ly inspected the new plant at Head
; land, Ala.
The meeting was presided over by
President Henry Wall, with Mrs. Ben
