Four weddings before many' moons
wax and wane.

The unique display of lawn imple
ments in the window of the Jackson
Hardware Company has attracted a
great deal of attention and received
many compliments. Mr. H.D. Moore
has shown great originality in the
decoration and has given it the touch
of an artist. The natural grass sod,
with the improvised fence of grass
hooks, the hydrant ai.d hose, the
spray of water, with the all-impor
tant lawn mower, are very suggest
ive of a well-kept lawn. It is cer
tainly a beautiful and novel adver
tisement.
It seems that soon after Mr. J. VV.
Jones moves his car on a lot some
one decides to build that particular
place up. He occupied the southeast
corner and moved for Dr. Mays to
build a handsome two-story build
ing. From there lie moved on a cor
ner just across the street, and this
week moved for Mr. Marshall Fin
ley and Dr. Jarrell to build two brick
stores. He now occupies the Ma
sonic lot, which means anew Ma
sonic temple before long, and Mr.
Jones will have to hunt another cor
ner.

On Tuesday afternoon Mrs. J. T.
Warthen entertained most delight
fully at a “Reminiscent Party” in
honor of Miss Bertha Carmichael.
Interesting papers brought back the
memory of by-gone days when most,
of the participants were care-free
lassies in pinafores. Delicious re
freshments were served during the
afternoon. Among others, the tol
lowii g toast was proposed by Mrs.
Rosa Wright:
A little tot in apron white,
With polished shoes shining bright,
Silken tresses framing face
Beaming with smiles of grace,
Clad in dress of color blue.
Beneath a iitlle heart that’s true—
Tha.N Bertha.
Ambitious student with pen and
book,
Intelligence revealed in every look,
Trudging every day to school—
Never breaking a single rule—
Gaining the love of schoolmates true,
Commanding respect of teachers,too:
That’s Bertha.
A woman true, serenely fair,
Whose face shows not a line of care,
Entering the matrimonial sea,
May she ever happy be —
A noble mind, of noble deeds,
Of love and kindness sowing seeds—
Our Bertha.

mond Carmichael gave a “Busy Bee”
party for Miss Bertha Carmichael.
Numberless stitches w re taken on
the dainty belongings for the bride
to-be. There was a world of pleas
ure in the conversation of the forty
guests, for their tongues kept pace
with the busy fingers, and one frank
ly admitted that they all talked at
once. Can you believe it? Dainty
refreshments were served during the
afternoon. Mrs. Carmichael’s guests

Newton entertains at a Miscellane
ous Shower in honor of Miss Bertha

The Sound Sleep of Oood Health.
The restorative power of sound
sleep cannot be overestimated, and
any ailment that prevents it is a
menace to health. J. L. Southers,
Eau Claire, Wis , says: “Foralong
time I have been unable to sleep
soundlv nights because of pains
across my back and soreness of my
kidneys. My appetite was very poor
and my general condition was much
run down. I have been taking Fo
ley’s Kidney Pills but a short time
and now sleep as sound as a rock. I
eat and enjoy my meals, and my gen
eral condition is reatlv improved. I
can honestly recommend Foley’s Kid
ney Pills as I know they have cured
me.” For tale by Slaton Drug Cos.
