Mr. Slade Marries Miss Lucille
Dunn.
There was a right interesting
event in social circies last night
and one which was somewhat in
the nature of a surprise to many
of the friends, of the chief actors
of the pleasant affair. It was the
marriage of Lester C. Slade,
Esq., and Miss Lucile Dunn.
The ceremony took place at the
residence of Mrs. Thomas Gib
beit on Second avenue, andflpei*
formed by Rev. S, Alston
Wragg, rector of Trinity Epis'
copal church, at 9 o’clock, in
the presence of a few iatimate
friends of the contracting parties.
The groom is a prominent
and popular member of the
Columbus bar and has a large
circle of relatives and friends
in this city. The bride is a sis
ter of Mrs Leon Layfield and
her home was originally in
Americus, but she has for some
time been the efficient steno
grapher in the offices of the Mus
cogee Manufacturing company
She is a talented and attractive ! unusually high prices?
young lady and very popular
with all who have the pleasure
of her acquaintance. While they
have teken their friends s ome-
what by surprise, it was an event
which had been anticipated,
and the congratulations of the
community are heartily extend
ed them.—Columbus Ledger

Do We Wish Lower Prices for
Farm Products?
Some ot our exchanges con
tain numerous references to the
so-called meat and other “trusts’
and to fancied combinations on
farm products. Through all is
a tone of regret at the high prices
of meal, flour, corn, etc. This
view of the prices of farm pro
ducts is in sympathy with the
consumers, and we infer that in |
the opinion ot the editors these
high prices for farm products are
a great calamity. To one know
ing that 80 to 90 per cent of our
people are farmers and that the
farmer is the only pro*
ducer of meat, flour, corn,
etc., this bewailing ot the high
price of these products appears
peculiar at least, if not ridicu 1
lous,
• Truly, is it not remarkable
that the farmer should complain
prices of the pro
ducts which he grows? While
nearly one-half our laud is
planted in corn, we complain of
the high price of corn ; we pro
duce some meat and could pro
duce more at one third the price
it is selling for, but still we com
plain of the high price of pork.
We have even heard farmers be
wailing most bitterly the high
price of cowpea seed. The-cow
pea is particularly a southern
crop, is one of our great soil im
provers and hay crops, and still
our farmers are heard to com.
plain of the price of cowpeas.
It is a fact, however, that
while nearly all farm products
are now bringing top prices we
are injured instead of benefitted
thereby ; because although farm
ers, we are buyers, rot sellers of
all farm products except cotton.
While the farmers of other
sections are rejoicing - at end
growing rich on the high prices
of meat and other farm products,
we are complaining and blaming
the trusts and every other im
aginable person except the right
one—ourselves. The absurdity
of the farmer complaining of high
price of farm products must be
apparent to any one. If meat
corn and flour are too high, why
don’t we produce them ? Farm >
ing is our business and if we can
not produce these farm products
for less than the selling prices,
then those prices are not too high
With all farm products bringing
maximum prices, this ought to
be a season of rejui ing instead
of mourning, and it wiil be wh.n
we realize the ridiculous position
we are putting ourselves in by
not growing those crops to sell
which are so high as to call forth
our special attention. If these
prices are too high, why stop at
merely growing enough for our
own use; why not grow some to
sell and reap the b me fits of the

“Near Beer.”
Carrollton, in fact everv town
in the couutv will be exempt
from the nuisance of “nearbeer”
at least until the next U. S. Cen
sus is compiled and published.
The law of Georgia prohibits
the granting of licen-e to sell
“near beer” except to towns or
cities having a population of
less than 2500. This population
i- to be based on the U. S. Cen
sus, taken for the year 1900.
Carrollton has considerably
more than that now, from the
school census reports, but it had
considerably less in 1900.
“Near beer” can’t be sold at
all in the “rural districts’’ so
that settles it.
