A pretty home wedding of this week

of Fayetteville, and Prof. Stanley Mor
gan, of Yatesville, Ga., which was sol
emnized at the home of the bride’s

DawniDg.’’ To the strains of the wed
ding march, played by Mr. Will Hicks,

very quiet. After a short wedding trip,
Mr. and Mrs. Morgan will be at home

gan is principal of the school.
Marriage, Hey!
You said you were married, I think?
Well, I suppose it is wise, after all.
It settles, centralizes and confirms a
man, I luive heard. Yes, it makes the
world definite to him; it removes his
morbid subjectiveness, and makes all
things objective; nine small children,
for instance, may be considered objec
tive. Marriage, hey! A fine thing, no
doubt, no doubt—domestic—pretty—
nice, ail round. So you are married?
—From “Pierre” by Herman Melville.
Back and Forth.
“Minister,” declared the outspoken
parishioner, unable longer to stifle his
feelings, “whenever you launch forth
on one of your sermons I go to sleep.”
“That’s a compliment, my dear sir!"
rejoined the clergyman enthusiastical
ly. “It show’s that my sermons hav«
the requisite smoothness and soothing
power to put to sleep the person who
is incapable of appreciating the finer
qualities and deductions that keep the
others awake.”—New York Sun.
Owing to the inclemency of the
weather, Judge Hollingsworth’s Sun
day school class picnicked at the home

\ 'lightful picnic lunch was served.

DANISH MAIDENS HAVE CHARM
Pretty Glrle In Profusion to Bo 8#on
on the Famous "Streak” In
Copenhagen.
Nowhere except on Fifth avenue,
New York, do you see so many pretty
girls in the space of a short walk as
you do on the “Streak.” The maid of
Copenhagen is nothing at all like one’s
preconceived notion of what a Scandi
navian girl should be. Up in Norway
you encounter the flaming red cheeks
and yellow locks and robust forms
which Anders Zorn has immortalized
on canvas. But the maid of Copen
hagen, the typical one, the kind that
you will always remember when your
thoughts dwell on the Danish capital,
is not like any of these. She is petite
and trim, neatly dressed, with hair that
Is copper brown as often as yellow.
A walk along the “Streak” on a sun
ny afternoon at the shopping hour re
veals to perfection the charm of Co
penhagen. And If you stroll up to the
Langellnie, the delightful park that
skirts the harbor, or venture into the
grounds of the Rosenborg palace, it
will be much the same; pretty girls,
dozens of them, alone, or in twos and
threes, or escorted by devoted swains;
girls as chic and Parisienne, with com
plexions that the fogs and winds of
the Baltic have made into worthy ri
vals of those of England, chattering
like magpies, bursting into smiles that
reveal whole nests of dimples, tripping
along with life and mischief in their
eyes and charm in every Inch of them.
No wonder a visitor to Copenhagen
can never get too much of afternoon
promenading! How sincerely does he
growl a curse when dusk begins to
shroud the fair metropolis of Denmark
and put an end to his enjoyment of
the beauty parade on the “Streak.”-—
The World Traveler.
WORDS OLD AS HUMAN RACE
Bounds Indicative of What They De
scribe Were Probably the First
Forms of Speech.
When your baby first begins to talk,
it uses Instinctively the oldest words
in creation, words as old as the hu
man race itself.
They are words whose sound is an
imitation of what they describe. A
thair falls over in the nursery.
“Bang!” says baby, just as her great
est great-grandmother said when her
father dropped his club in the cave
that was their home,
Baby calls the cow a “moo,” because
that is the noise it makes. To primi
tive man the cow seemed to say “koo”
—a name that has stuck.
What finer imitation of the crow’s
croak could you have than the Greek
word "korax?” Crow (really corow)
is derived from the same Idea. Hun
dreds of animals—birds, in particular
—retain their ancestral names. The
cuckoo has always been so called;
he named himself.
A whole host of other words de
scribe noises—crash, slam, thump,
whack, splash, boom, prattle, and so
on. One of the most beautiful of
these is murmur, which means the
sound made by a gentle breeze among
the trees—mur-mur-mur.—Exchange.
4 f 855 f 464 Bibles
Were in Grculation
During Past Year
New York, June 3.—The biggest year
of Bible circulation since the high
levels of the war period, is reported
by the American Bible Society in the
annual report just issued. This re
port says:
“The total number of volumes cir
culated during the year was 4,855,464,
which is more than a million in excess
of the distribution of the preceding
year. The largest increase os shown
in China, where 2,362,730 were circula
ted. From Japan, the Near East, and
all of Latin America, there has come
an increased demand, so great that the
society has been unable to meet it
“The revised Spanish New Testa
ment has been competed and will be
r.eady for distribution during the
coming year. Translation work has
gone forward also in Luragoli for mis
sions in British East Africa; in Que-
cliua for the Polivian Indians; in Zulu
for the black people of South Africa;
In K’pelle for use in Liberia. In China
large parts of the Scriptures have been
issued in the new phonetic script,
which is a simplified written form en
dorsed and promoted by the govern
ment.”

Chief’s Position Not Enviable.
The position of chief of an Indian
tribe in the days when the red man
roamed the western prairies was a
precarious one at the best, according
to the accountoof Francis Parkinan,
Jr., in his "The California and Ore
gon Trail.”
The chief dared not assume any
of the outward aspects of rank, for
fear of incurring the displeasure of
his braves. Many a man in the vil
lage lived better, owned more squaws
and horses, and went better clad than
did the chief. He must needs ingrati
ate himself with his young men by
making them many presents, often
to his own impoverishment.
The happiest chief was he who was
at the head of a large family. With
a group of relatives to avenge him in
event of his murder, his position took
on some semblance of security. One
of the most powerful Dakotali chiefs
was secure In his position by liis fam
ily of 30 stalwart sons.
How She Helped Mamma.
A teacher at a certain private
school strives to instill filial devotion
in her pupils. Recently she asked her
class in what way they had been help
ing their parents. Various answers
were given of a more or less to-be-
expected nature, till she reached a
little girl who had been casting rather
contemptuous glances at the hum
drum reports. When her turn came
the eyes of the others were fixed on
her as she lives in an opulent home
that boasts a staff of servants. "Well.
Grade,” ' the teacher asked, “what
have you been doing to help mamma?”
“Oh, lots,” was the scornful response
of Grade, “but mostly I go to the
Country club and get cigarettes for
her.”—San Francisco Argonaut.
Peculiarities of the Whale.
The whale is able to hold his breath
for a long time, sometimes for 45
minutes, and he Is able to open his
mouth under water when enting, be
cause his nostrils connect directly
with his windpipe and not with the
back of his mouth, as in most other
animals. When he comes to the sur
face he blows the air out of his lungs.
It has by this time become so heated
that it forms a column of vapor when
expelled Into the cool ah of the sur
face and this is what happens when
he Is said to “spout." Incidentallj
the most famous whale of history—
the one which shallowed Jonah—was
not a whale at all, but Is called in the
nun*, “n arrant flsdi."

Ford Retail Sales Hit New High Mark.
According to a report just received from the Ford Motor Company, Detroit, a daily
average of 5,210 retail sales of Ford cars and trucks had been reached by the close of
April in the United States a lone.
Ford sales of cars and trucks for the month, including both domestic and foreign, to
taled 127,249. This establis hes a new high record, exceeding the largest previous month,
June, 1921, by 15,467. The sale of Fordson Tractors has also been steadily climbing. A
total of 11,181 Fordsons were sold during April in the United States, a daily average of
469 having been reached by the end of the month. This gives the tractor a new high
sales record, and shows 100 % increase over the best month in 1921.
The Ford Company is enjoying a banner year in all departments. Output of Ford
cars and trucks for the year, according to present estimates, will exceed 1,100,000, which
represents a ten per cent increase over 1921.
The Ford factory at Detroit is now operating at full capacity, having a force of
more than 40,000 men on the payroll. The scheduled output for May will probably
reach 135,000 cars and trucks, which will be applied against orders approximating 165,-
000.
Despite the attempt of the factoiy and the twenty-three assembling plants in the
United States to produce a sufficient number of cars to meet the unusually heavy de
mand, it has been impossible for Ford dealers in most cases to make immediatei deliv
eries.
