“TIPPERARY."
)
(From The Macon Telegraph.)
The other day In a Macon theater
ft quartette Rang, "Tipperary’’ and
’ragged* it. It was well done but the
applause was half-hearted to an ex
tent that was distinctly noticeable.
Quickly, in one of those psychologi
cal yearns that come to uh all some
times one sought the sentiment of the
audience. One found it without very
much trouble; it was a half ex
pressed resentment. The people did
not like it sung that way.
And no wonder. Tipperary and
what it represents now is no laughing
nor ‘ragging’ matter. Cold is the
man, withered the heart of the wom
an who can hear it without the men
tal picture of dead men in Flanders,
and the falling teprs, the anguished
lips of women sitting in front of the
cottages of Yorkshire, and amid the
roses of Killarney.
"It's a long,long way to Tipperary.
Ah, the women of England and Scot
land and Ireland and Canada to
travel before the pain of that song
will be dulled in the hearing. Milady
in her castle hears it in the street
anti her fine patrician head lilts to
the challenge until the form of the
tall young Norman, keen faced, lithe
and long Jowled, looms before h<r
standing in front of his men at Mo ns,
and the warm healing tears roll do
her face. And so will she until that
day when death comes, whenever
the song that lias the plaint in i's
lilt and swing, comes to her ear -al
wav she will weep.
( And the woman of the bourgeoise,
to her, too, it brings only the open
ing of the heart wound she has tried
so hard to keep closed. Mach time
she hears it the knife of memory,
the sword of realization must cut ami
cut deep. And so among all the peo
ple of Britain, Saxon, Celt and Nor
man—it is the battle-cry of the race,
the marching song of their soldiers.
The swinging files pass down the
broad street, brave in their trap
pings, high in their courage, reckless
in their mien.
The regimental band strike* up
"Tipperary" and tlie step quickens,
the standing crowds cheer and shou*;
and with such minstrelsy the British
are going to war. Now the music
hall ballad is what the Psalms were
to the Roundheads of ('Tomwell. But
to the women behind the casements,
to the women lying on their beds in
their darkened rooms as the troops

Harper-Williams.
The marriage of Mis* Montine Wil
liams and Mr. Mijlard Harper of Lo
ganville took place Wednesday after
noon at the home of the bride"* par
ents near Winder. The ceremony,
which was performed by Rev. W. H.
Faust, was witnessed by relatives and
intimate friends, after Which an in
formal reception was held.
The house was beautifully decorat
ed with smilax, concealing the walls
and palms ferns and caster lillies in
effective arrangement through the
apartments.
The bridal party stood before an
altar of luxurious palms and ferns
with smilax framing the arches.
The bride was beautiful in a sand
colored gown with hat to match, car
rying a boquet of brides’ roses and
valley Tillies with the shower design.
.Miss Ethel Shepard played the wed
ding march.
Miss Jennie Phillips of Orande, Ga.,
was maid of honor; Mr. Thomas Har
per, Memphis, Tenn., best man. The
bride was given away by her brother,
Mr. .1. P. Williams of Woodbury, Ga.
Silver candle sticks with the pink
tapers were used and the sweets
were carried out in the pink and
white detail.
The bride is one of Winder’s most
attractive young women, intellect
ual, cultured and charming. Mr. Ha 1 *
per is a man of sterling character
and business integrity. After a short
trip they will make their home in Lo
ganville.
The mantle of charity covers a
lot of amateur theatrical perform
ances.
pass by, hiding (heir faces, stuffing
their oars, to close out the poignant,
penetrating pain of the piece—to
them it is the dirge, the funeral
Vnarch.
As the women of England sancti
fied, with their tears for half a cen
tury after the Crimean war. "Annie
ha uric," until it lias become chai
ned in the hearts of all the women
who speak what we call the English
tongue, as the hymn of the campfire,
so now they are taking "Tipperary’*
for their own. The tears it lias loos
ed, the lips that have quivered to
its lilt, the shoulders that have
heaved in sobs, all these should make
it holy in the hearing of all men and
women.
And yet some singers would ‘rag’
it, and we all are dancing to it. It is
sacrilege.

While I am not a farmer, I think
I am a pretty close observer, and
have this morning taken a stroll
around part of the farm of Brother
B. F. Askew, of this place, and I
don't think that I have ever seen
such fine cotton in Georgia, to take
his crop all over.
I spent one year in Mississippi, ail! *
his crop is equal to anything 1
there.
His cotton is of the Askew’s l in '
proved Early Bag 8011.
