MADDUX-RAIFORD
A pretty wedding last evening at
Beuna Vista was that of Miss Estelle
Maddux and Eddie Franklin Raiford,
the ceremony taking place at the
home of the bride’s mother, Mrs. T.
A. Maddux, at 7:30 o’clock. The liv
ing room where the simple ceremony
took place was arranged with a set
ting of ferns and trailing vines,
against which were placed in relief
shasta daisies, detailing the color
scheme of green and white in the
nuptial room. The vows were re
ceived by Rev. J. L. Jones, pastor of
the First Methodist church there, be
fore a number of friends gathered to
witness the ceremony. The wedding
music was played by Miss Esther
Short, and before the ceremony “I
Love You Truly” was sung by Miss
Ruth Short.
As the strains of • Mendelsshon’s
march began, the bridal party enter
ed with Miss Margaret Maddux as
maid of honor. She wore a graceful
model of orchid Georgette and car
ried an arm bouquet of white olean
ders. Little Miss Catherine Highnote
was ring bearer, and brought the
symbol in upon a white satin pillow.
Her dress was a dainty organdie in
delicate pink. The bride entered
next, and wore a handsome model of
white Georgette heavily braided,
with which she carried a shower bou
quet of bride’s roses showered with
swansonia.
Immediately following the cere
mony an informal reception was held
to which a number of friends were
invited. An ice course was served.
Mr. and Ms. Raiford left on an
evening train for a short wedding
journey, visiting several points of in
terest in North Georgia, and upon
their return will visit Mr. Raiford’s
parents. Americus people attending
the wedding were Mr. and Mrs. D.
N. Maddux and children, and Miss
Leila Doster. The bride is well known
in Americus, where she visited her
brother upon many happy occasions.

Picture life on a farm tucked away in the hills fifteen miles from a rail
way and without a single labor-saving convenience of any kind! That is the
disheartening situation that faced Dan Simms when he returned from the
war. Although he was glad to get home, such a life, with its hard labor and
primitive surroundings, did not appeal to him. Having had a taste of city
life, he determined to seek his future in the larger town, and even went so far
as to secure a position there.
/
But the old folks had missed him while he was in France and they need
ed him so much that he decided to remain and fight the age-old prejudices
and spirit of conservatism that had kept so many farmers from being abreast
of the time.
How electricity came to his rescue and showed Dan and his sweetheart
the way to a life of comfort and happiness is shown in this delightfully human
and dramatic picture.

PLEASING SUCCESS

Notwithstanding the inclement
weather all day yesterday, which had

How Much Do the 3543 Lose?
What is the State’s Loss?
The majority of villages are without electric light.

Corporations Limited by Law

Making Money for Stockholders
The loss to these places without light is greatest.
Darkness and drudgery breed ignorance and crime.
In sight of 2,152,850 horsepower of undeveloped waterpower that is
capable of doing the work of 25,824,200 men but which is as idle today as
the most worthless of loafers, the plight of these villages and powerless farms
disgraces the whole State of Georgia.
To put this idle power to work and stop the frightful moral and financial
loss—
To enable Georgia to face corporations as an equal—
Bills have been introduced by
Senators Pittman, Rabun, Biasingame, Wallace, Duncan, J. Q. Smith,
Elders, Dorris and President Olive, an d Representatives Covington, Alfriend ’
williams, Anderson, Stewart, Hollingsworth and Jackson.
Committees on Constitutional Amendments and the Rules Committees of
Both Senate and House 'AX. 'v
Four committes in all will have to act, before the Senate and House can
pass these bills to permit you, who are the final judges, to vote to put your
State on an equal footing with the corporations. Until you have voted, noth
ing can be done.
To prevent your voting, the corporations plan to kill the Bills in one of
these Committees.
Delay is their game.
if they succeed in blocking the Bills, Georgia will lose another year and
more milions of dollars, and only the corporations will gain.
We believe—
THE COMMITTEES WILL AGREE
THAT
THE STATE SHOULD ACT
