Through your worthy paper I
again wish to sound a noto of warn

County. As there Is to be an elec

the first day of July, 1911, I would
remind them not to forget the date
go to your respective voting pre-
oincts and just scratch out the words
for "No Fence," and leave the
word, "Fence" on the ticket, In or
der that your votes may be counted,
and at the same time be valid.
Also, do not forget to petition our
next representatives to enact a more
stringent auto law, for the protec

One of the prettiest home wed
dings ever witnessed in Albany was
solemnized Sunday, when Miss Lena
Rosenberg, of this city, became the
wife of Mr. Herman Felnberg, of
Camilla, at the home of the bride's
parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. Rosenberg,
on South Jefferson Street.
The parlor of the Rosenberg home
was transformed into a veritable
fairyland for the occasion, potted
plants and cut flowers being used
with artistic effect. An altar of
palms and ferns was improvised in
the bow window in the parlor, and a
satin canopy upheld by four white
posts was suspended overhead, and
under it the young couple stood dur
ing the ceremony. About the posts
srallax was entwined and caught
here and there with pink roses,
while garlands of roses were sus
pended from the canopy to the cor
ners of the room. Southern smilax
was festooned about the doors, and
windows, while an immense show*er
of roses and smilax hung from the
chandelier.

custom, the marriage ceremony was
performed In an impressive manner
by Rabbi Edmund A. Landau.
The bride, who is a young woman
of many personal charms, was beau

moire trimmed In lace. Her hat was
of mustard shade, trimmed in blue
feather and tiny blue French roses.
She carried a shower bouquet of
bride’s roses and lillies of the valley.

Gentlemen, It is up to you, and to
all concerned, to look well to our
best interests. It is up to the vot

State of Georgia to have some un
desirable laws repealed, and some
badly needed laws enacted. In
