DUGGAN BROS. WILL
ENLARGE BUSINESS
Duggan Bros. & Co. Will Connect
Adjoining Store Room to One
They Now Occupy.
Duggan Bros. and Co. have pur
chased the store room adjoining the
one they now occupy and will have
the petition Iwtween the two stores
torn out, making one room out of
the two. They will open a first
class gents’ furnishing business in
the new part, with Dykes A. Brown
in charge of the tailoring depart
ment. In the old portion they will
handle dry goods and millinery ex
clusively.
This firm started business in our
city about two years ago and by en
terprise, close attention to business,
and fair dealing with their custom
ers they have made a success, and
are now prepared to enlarge their
store to meet the demands of their
growing trade. This store is in
charge of Messrs. D. E., H. C.,
and Z. G. Duggan—men of sterling
qualities and first class business ac
umen .
Mr. Brown has made a success in
the tailoring business by indomita
ble energy and close attention to
business, and a connection with the
enterprising firm of Duggan Bros.
& Co. would seem quite fortunate
for both parties.

LEE—HARDIN
On Wednesday evening, June 28,
at the home of the bride, occurred
the marriage of Miss Essie Lee to
Mr. S. J. Harden, of Fitzgerald,
Rev. Wade IT. Parks, pastor of the
Cochran Baptist church officiating
in a very impressive manner.
The wedding was a quiet home
affair, only a few relatives and
friends of the bride being invited on
account of illness in the family.
Ti;e decorations consisted of ferns,
palms, and cut flowers, green and
white being the color scheme car
ried out in both decorations and
furnishings.
The bride was handsomely
gowned in white satin, trimmed
in heavy lace, while the groom
made a striking appearance in a
white flannel suit according to the
latest mode and fashion. The cou
ple looked well indeed, as they
stood under an a: eh of beautiful
flowers, palms, and ferns. A back
ground of ostrich ferns served to en
hance the beauty of the long, white
brhlal veil as it waved to and fro
during the solemn moments of the
ceremony.
The bride and the groom left im
mediately on “Joe Brown” for
Helena, where they were given an
elegant reception by a college friend
of Mrs. Harden.
Mrs. Harden is a daughter of Mr
and Mrs. J F. Lee, of this county
and is a voung woman of many ad
mirable traits of character. For
several years she has been a teacher
and has won an enviable
in that profession. By her depth of
character, charm and grace of man
ner, and good looks she has en
deared herself to scores of friends
and admirers. Mr. Harden is to be
congratulated on winning such a
jewel for his helpmeet and compan
ion.
Mr. Harden, the groom, is a son
of Rev. William Harmon Harden,
one of the best known and beloved
Primitive Baptist ministers in the
state. The groom is a wealthy
planter, a man of excellent business
capacity and many sterling quali
ties. He enjoys the confidence and
esteem of a large numl>er of friends
for his interest in churches, schools,
and whatever serves to uplift and
better his community.
We congratulate these estimable
young people upon their marriage,
and bid them God-speed upon their
journey over the matrimonial sea.

HOME TRAINING NEGLETCEO
A correspondent of the New York
World complains that the manners
of the schoolboys in New York are I
I Kid —that thousands of the lads are
no more than “young rowdies,”
and says that he withdrew his hoys
from the school on that account.
“I first spoke to the teacher,” he
writes. “She said, ‘You are right.
We do our best, but many of the
children who come to the public
schools receive no training at home:
what we do here is lost upon
them.’ ”
In an awful city like New York,
awful because it is enormous, con
ditions in respect to the matter com
plained are worse than smaller com
munities, where they may be com
paratively good, but the lack of
home training is everywhere, to a
greater or less degree. The prob
lem is country-wide —doubtless,
world-wide.
The correspon lent concludes:
“There are plenty of well-man
nered schoolboys in New York, but
they got their training at h )tne as
a starter. The other kind come
largely from where the idea is ineu
lated that as long as this country is
free the rights of others are of no
consequence, which is the beginning
of bad manners and worse.”
The question forces it-elf, what is
to he the country’s fate if “the well
trained hoys,” the boys who have
had home training, he withdrawn
from the schools? The lump must
he leavened if it is to he saved —the
good, if it shall survive and pre
vail, must do so by ovrecoming the
evil, which is to say that the asso
ciaton of the better conditioned
must serve to lift up, encourage and
inspire those who “have had no
chance.” When men y and women
reach mature years ' ‘ barriers
that separate tty j es grow
tall and steep and the hope in
these days that the moral and beau
tiful in their lives will go into the
hedges and byways to rescue the un
fortunate is slight. Between the
proseprous and cultivated and the
lowly and struggling there is little
association, however much there
should be, and the public school is
about the only school left to us.
There, the well mannered boy, lus
ty, vigorous arid bringing with him
an equipment of sound and manly
principles, las free intercourse with
the poor boy who is sent to school
because tbe law requires that he be
sent or, as in a state where school
attendance is not compulsory, in or
der that the home may he rid of
him for the time, and there, “on
the level,” the good and evil battle
for masteiy.

ARE YOU READY
FOR JURY DUTY?
Below We Publish an Interesting
Article Written by a Subscri
ber on Route 4.
Ha, Mr. Juryman, how far do
you live from the Court House —
fifteen or twenty miles. (?) If so,
it will he well to begin to make
some arrangements in regard to
that long jaunt which his Honor
Judge Martin is going to request of
you soon.
Remember you are to lay all oth
er business aside and go to stay
from two to three weeks, for you
cannot go home in the evening and
get back the next morning in time
to answer to the jury call. Your
fodder must be saved, and your
wife and babies —bow about their
protection? which is the most im
portant matter to consider; howev
er you will have to get ready; for
those summons are not far off now,
and they say fail not under the
penalty of a fine.
Be it ever so hard, \v« should
obey the orders of the court like
men and liye in hopes of the bright
er days we shall have, when our
representatives have thoroughly in
vestigated our disadvantages and
given us the new county, which W’e
so honestly deserve.
PROTRACTED MEETING AT RUTH
Protracted meeting will begin at

the pastor, W. J. Hardy. All are
cordially invited to attend these ser
vices.
country the good invariably pre
vails, never in a community of Co
lumbia’s sizt, is the tone of a pub
lic school fixed by the depraved el
ement. It is not pleasant to ob
serve a confession to the contrary
even in Now York —but if it shall
come to pass that youthful ruffian
ism arid depravity shall so predom
inate in the American public
schools that a good man dare not
send his boy to them, one is at a
loss to find a ray of hope for the
country’s ultimate salvation. The
character of the people is formed,
first in the homes; of course, but
the public school is the crucible
where the influences that emanate
from the good homes act best and'
most freely upon those young peo
ple whose homes are the worst.
