Purely Personal
A PERFECT DAY.
By Carrie Jacobs-Bond
When you come to the end of a per
fect day
And you can sit alone with your
thought
Vfhile the chimes ring out \yith a carol
. gay
For the joy that the day has brought
Do you think what the end of a per
,r feet day
Can mean to a tired heart,
When the sun goes down with a flam
ing ray
And the dear friends have to part?
Well, this is the end of a perfect day,
Near the end of a journey too;
But it leaves a thought that is big
and strong,
With a wish that is kind and true;
For mem'ry has painted this perfect
day
With colors that never fade
And we find, at the end of a perfect
day,
The soul of a friend we’ve made.

GRIFFIN-TANNER
On last Friday Miss Clyde Griffin
and Mr. Eli Tanner were quietly mar
ried in Fitzgerald, going over in a
car with Mr. ar.d Mrs. Carl Tanner.
The couple have been sweethearts
for sometime, but their friends were
surprised to hear of their marriage at
such an early date.
Mrs. Tanner as Miss Griffin, has
many friends among the young peo
ple of Douglas, She is the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Griffin, of this
city. Mr. Eli Tanner is a well known
young man of Steady habits, the son
of Mr. B. H. Tanner, and associated
in business with his, father,
UPTON-THOMAS.
i < *. # *• ..
A very impressing home wedding
was solemnized last Sunday at two
thirty bt the residence of Mr. T; W.
Upton, When his daughter, Miss Willie
Upton, and Mr. R. C. Thomas, of
Blackshear, were quietly married, Rev.
T. S. Hubert performing the ceremony
Miss Nola Johnson with Prof. Gor
don Floyd, ar.d Miss Fannie Kate
Brewton with Mr. Jesse Upton, were
the attendants. Mrs. W. R. Frier
played the weeding march and “Hearts
and Flowers” during the ceremony.
In losing Miss Upton, Douglas loses
a girl of sweetest character and many
admirable traits which have endeared
her to her hosts of friends. Mr.
Thomas is a graduate of the G. N. C.
and B. I. here, and is now superinten
dent of the county schools of Pierce
county. No less to be congratulated
is the young lady, who was fortun
ately to be won by a young man of
such sterling qualities of m-nd and
character.
WILLACOOCHEE PARTIES
ARE MARRIED IN DOUGLAS
The marriage of Dr. Henry Corbitt
and Miss Lydia West, both of Willa
coochee, was the romance of Thurs
day, the 7th.
Having arranged in advance with
Rev. T. S. Hubert, pastor of F'irst
Baptist church, to perform the cere
mony, the contracting parties, attend
ed by relatives and friends, came in
automobiles and at once presented
themselves at the Baptist pastorium
on Sellers street.
From adjacent dwellings other
friends and acquaintances came and
gathered about the automobiles in
which the bride and groom sat while
the minister pronounced the words
that made them man and wife.
Dr. Corbitt and his bride are both
well and favorable known here, while
they both attended school here and
have often visited. The news of their
marriage spread rapidly and many
hearty fongratulations followed—none
more sincere than those which The
Enterprise offers. Mrs. Corbitt is the'
daughter of Rev. G. Tom West, one
of the best known Baptist ministers
of Coffee county.
o o
MISSIONS ABROAD
AND AT HOME
o o
Do you know that missionaries,
face to face with the need have been
praying to God and pleading to Chris
tians dt home for many years for
adequate workers and that these
prayers and pleadings still remain, for
the most part, unanswered?
* * *
“Other religions have risen out of
man’s search for God, but Christian
ity is God’s search for man. And we
dare not interrupt it—we who have
received only to give. It comes to us
when we were savage and comfort
less. It has made us what we are,
and from us it must go to the old and
new peoples of the earth.”
* * *
The importance and value of the
Mission Study movement is being re
alized more and more by Christian
; leaders and workers in all countries,
] and realizing that knowledge is power
'we of the Douglas Auxiliary have fal- j
| len into line and have organized a \
Mission Study class, with Mrs. G. M.
Stanton leader. Books have been or- f
dered and we shall soon be studying
the needs and opportunities of the
home and foreign field.
* * *
Recently Mrs. Dr. Burns gave a
silver tea for the benefit of the Meth
odist parsonage. The dainty refresh
ments were served on her beautiful j
lawn amid pot plants and flowers and
as the ladies partook of the refresh
ments good cheer was manifested.
Quite a nice little sum was realized,
and the inmates of the parsonage will
be made more comfortable as the res
ult of this happy gathering.
* * * *
We have only one more quarter in
which to make good oar part in the
pledge and dues, God help us not to
loose our opportunity and the work
suffer because of our small part.
* * *
Monday afternoon of this week was
jheld one of our regular monthly meet
i ings, Mrs. Dr. Davis having charge
of the program, and Mrs. Barnes lead
ing the devotional along the line of
tithing. If all could see that t his
was God’s plan for His children, all
obligations would be speedily met,
orp , ,
iou can read with full comfort with our perfect fitting glasses.
That “Jumbled appearance of line and words when reading is timely
warning that your eyes have reached the limit of endurance and that yo*
should pay us a visit.
The benefit you get from money spent on your eyesight lasts longer and
pays a higher dividend than any other possible investment.
We grind, here in our own shop, every kind of spectacle and eyeglass
lenses.
If you break your glasses send us the pieces—we can accurately dupli
cate them.
Our prices are as low as perfect work can be done for-

If the Protestant Church members
of America gave an average of only
four cents a week to foreign missions,
it would mean an income of nearly
fifty million dollars a year for the
work.
* * *
In one of our institutions of learn
ing last session there were forty vol
unteers . But many of these young
men and women will never go, and
many because the Mission Board has
not and cannot get the money to send
them. It is easier often to get men
and women to go than to get money
to send them.

“A young American woman travel
ing through the East wrote in a letter
to her mother that she had been in
Korea only three days, but had al
ready learned how to tell whether a
Korean was a Christian when she met
her on the street by the expression of
her face.”
* * *
May I again remind you of ou:
membership campaign. Are we try
ing to enlist women in missionary ser
vice? Those of us who truly work
with Him and for Him shall be streng
thened in faith, and shall have our
love kindled anew.

There were many good full yields re
ported, and they will average about
65 bushels per acre.
The Speakers.
At 10:30 about 2,000 people gather
ed at the auditorium where Dr. A. M.
Soule and Miss Dowdie addressed
them. Dr. Soule was introduced by
Hon. J. J. Brown, and his address was
along agricultural lines and pronounc
ed one of the finest lectures in that
line that has ever been heard here.
Miss Dowdle addressed the audience
along canning club industries, and de
parted much valuable information te
the large audience. Mrs. Woods, the
assistant state agent of the canning
club work, was also present. Miss
Nola Johnson also made a few very
appropriate remarks.
The Barbecue.
This was pronounced to be the best
barbecue ever cooked in Douglas. It.
was enjoyed by the large crowd, and
while the rain made it very disagree
able for the visitors, most of those
present enjoyed their lunch. The
meat after it was cooked was moved
over to a small house near the grounds
and a sandwich was prepared and
handed out the window to the crowd
as they would pass by.
Many F'loats Preserved.
The merchants of Douglas and oth
er towns had prepared floats for this
occasion, but they did not bring ther
out in the rain, but will hold them f
a similar day during the big Cofft
County F'air, which is just a mom
away. If the weather had been wh
was expected, there would have be
a parade a mile long.
