gill Arp Throws First Shovelful of
Dirt for Foundation.
INTERESTING ceremonies.
gill Arp Mr. Granger and the
Mayor Make Talks—
America’' Sung
Last Saturday afternoon dirt
was broken for the new Kbraiy
building of the Cherokee club.
Bill Arp, the venerable writer
philosopher, threw the first shovel
ful of dirt for the excavations tor
the foundation.
The ceremonies attending the
event were very interesting. At 3
o’clock, the annnounced hour for
assembling, numerous of the prom
inent people of the city, both ladies
and gentlemen, gathered, and an
interested enthusiastic group of a
hundred people, were soon seen,
lending their interest and attention.
Major Smith (Bill Arp) address
ed the assemblage, talking at some
length in his happy style, of the
growth of learning, from the orig
ination of the first alphabet with
the Phoenicians down to the pres
ent day, when every important
city had its public lioray, and they
were even finding their way into
the rural districts. He could re
member when there was not a cook
stove, a steel pen or a friction
match. He mentioned a time
when a party made the journey from
Boston to Georgia in a carriage
and never crossed a railroad. He
showed a book, one of the first
ever printed, over four hundred
years old. It was printed in
Greek.
Mayor F. M* Ford, in a neat
speech expressed his gratification
at the progress of the library move
ment which he thought was one
of the most importam ever started
in the town. He was there to ea
courage and aid ihe movement in
whatever way he could.
Mr. A. O. Granger told of what
women’s clubs stood for, noting
.thegood accomplished and sought
lor through their instrumentality,
among which was the model
schools, the restriction of child
labor, the libraries and other
things.
Major Smith was given a broad
shovel, and as the earth was
loosed, pushed it in and lifted it,
, throwing the contents aside from
intended foundation site, and clap
ping of hands evinced the enthu
siasm of the crowd.
The ladies, accompanied by
several trained male voices sang
America” with spirit and the in
cident of the first dirt broken for
Cartersville’s public library closed.
The absence, from illness, of Mrs.
• A. 0. Granger, the honored presi
dent of the State Federation of
Women’s clubs, and one of the chief
movers in this important work
for a library, was much regretted.
The interest and effort of her and
,ner husband who share the bulk
of the work will receive the appre
ciation of all in the community.
Work on the structure was to
have been commenced Monday,
fo be continued to the finish, but
the bad weather interfered some
and a portion of the foundation ex

OCHRE ILL.
Store, Warehouse and Barn of
Georgia Peruvian Ochre Co-,
WITH CONTENTS CONSUMED-
Property Insured But Insufficient
to Cover the Loss-
Origin Rats.
Last Wednesday morning wit
nessed a conflagration at the Geor
gia Peruvian Ochre Company’s
mill, at the river, two miles from
town. The company’s store, the
warehouse and the barn were en
tirely consumed, except the stock,
which were successfully removed
from the barn.
The fire originated in the store
and was under considerable head
way before being discovered, and
the flames increased in fury so
rapidly that nothing could be sav
ed except the stock.
The origin is supposed to have'
been from rats with loose matches.
The store usually kept a stock of
SI,OOO or more and was at about
the usual stage.
The barn contained 800 bundles
of fodder, a lot of corn and other
provender.
The warehouse had in it a large
quantity of material for making
barrels, such as staves, hoops, etc.
There was insurance on the
buildings and property, but not
enough, it is said, to cover the
losses.
The store will probably not be
rebuilt and that feature of the
company’s business may be aban
doned . The barn and warehouse
will probably be rebuilt.

The country home of Mrs. Geor
gia Tumlin was filled almost to
overflowing on last Wednesday
afternoon with friends gathered to
witness the wedding of Miss Au
gusta Tumlin to Mr. Charles
Chauncey Chamberlain. The
house which was darkened and
lighted with the soft glow- of many
lamps was tastefully decorated
with autumn foliage, bamboo and
cables of southern smilax festooned
upon all the walls. White and
yellow chrysanthemums were
banked upon the mantels in beau
tiful profusion and tall vases of
these floweis were everywhere.
Upon arrival one was given a gra
cious welcome in the hall by Mrs.
Tumlin who wore a handsome
toilet of black peau de soi with
trimmings of real lace. After these
greetings one passed into the
sitting room where the hundreds
of presents were displayed. These
were unusually handsome and val
uable among them being a gor
geous cut glass water set upon a
large mirror which was the gift of
the employees of the Capital City
Bank, of Atlanta, with which Mr.
Chamberlain is connected. Pass
ing into the parlor the guests
awaited the arrival of the bridal
party. Just before their appearance
upon the stairway, Mrs. Cunyus
sweetly sang, “I Love You Dear
and Only You” to the accompani
ment of Miss Ella Neel, after
which the first chords of Men
delssohn’s wedding march were
struck and Rev. A. W. Bealer en
tered and stood just in front of the
mantel, which in its decorations of
yellow foliage and white chrysan
themums served as an improvised
altar. The relatives entered next
in couples, some passing to the left
and others to the right of this altar.
Mrs. Tumlin, the bride’s mother,
entered upon the arm of her
brother Mr, E. L. Roberts.
Mrs. K. M. Martin, of Alabama,
sister of the bride and matron of
honor, came next alone, and
stood on the left. She was
attired in a beautiful white Paris
muslin gown with applications of
lace as trimmings, her sash, stock
and Alsatian bow for the hair were
of yellow ribbon and she carried
an arm bouquet of immense yellow
chrysanthemums tied with stream
ers of wide yellow satin ribbon.
Miss Mamie Tolbert and Mr. David
Crockett entered next and station
ed themselves to the right of the
altar. Miss Tolbert’s gown was
composed entirely of tucked bands
of the white muslin faggoted to
gether. She wore the yellow ribbon
trimmings and carried yellow chry
santhemums and this dainty cos
tume was most becoming to this
petite, vivacious young woman.
The groom and his best man Mr.
Oscar West entered and awaited
the bride at the altar, who entered
with her sister and maid of honor,
Miss Lillie Tumlin, whose lovely
costume was white chiffon over a
yellow taffeta princess. She car
ried white chrysanthemums tied
with yellow streamers. It was the
verdict of every one present that
the bride was an ideal one for her
sweetness of disposition, modesty,
and strength of character are so
clearly reflected in her face, and in
her bridal robes she was a beauti
ful picture. Her gown was white
liberty silk over white satin, the
skirt made entrain. The corsage
had a yoke and finishing touches
of beautiful lace. Her tulle veil
was becomingly adjusted and her
bouquet was indeed a thing of
beauty being composed of dozens
of bride’s roses. Mr. Bealer, whose
intimate social and pastorial rela
tions with the family have existed
for many years, wove into the
words of the service an unusual
degree of impressiveness.
After the ceremony and congrat
ulations the oridal party passed
into the dining room and were serv
ed a course luncheon at the bride’s
table whose central decoration was
a huge vase of the golden fluked
chrysanthemums surrounded by
candelabra with candles and bon
bons in yellow. Streamers of
white tulle were draped gracefully
from the chandelier to the four cor
ners of the table where they were
tied in flowing bows which fell to
the floor. An elaborate wedding
menu was served the guests in the
rooms and halls. At six o’clock
the bride and groom followed by
best wishes of everyone, left for
Atlanta where they will reside.
