A wedding of exquisite simplicity
was solemnized Tuesday morning at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lin Bell,
when Mis s Elmer Bell became the
bride of Mr. James Lamar Hender
*oll, of Hampton, Georgia.
Rev. R. L. Bivins, a life-long
friend of the Bell family, came from
his home in Forsyth to perform the
ceremony.
Ihe living room, where the cere
mony was heard, was decorated with
a profusion of Shasta daisies, the
beautiful flowers being placed in tall
vases about the room, and swinging
from hanging baskets. The color
scheme of green and white was ef
fectively detailed throughout the low
er floor, daisies being used in vases
on the cabinets and receptacles and
mantels.
The bride was unusually lovely in
a traveling suit of dark blue cloth,
with which she wore a small mid
summer hat of dark straw. Her cor
sage was built of orchids and lilies
of the valley.
Immediately following the cere
mony, an informal reception was
held, with only the two families pres
ent. Mr. and Mrs. Henderson re
ceived the good wishes of the guests
before leaving by automobile for
their honeymoon through Florida, af
ter which they will 'be at home in
Hampton, where the groom is one
of the representative young business
men of that city.
Out-of-town guests were Mr. and
Mrs. A. Henderson, Mrs. Wm. Hen
derson and Mrs. Fred Moore, of
Hampton; Miss Jane Howell, of Cor
dele Mrs. R. L. Bivins, of Forsyth;
Miss Lillian Oldham, of Loneoak,
Ark.; Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Bell and
Miss Alfreda Bell and Miss Esther
Bell, of Cordele.

Tired all the time;
Weary and worn out night and
day;
Your kidneys are probably weak

You should help them at their
work.
Let one who knows tell you how.
Mrs. L. S. Mathews, 910 Ogle
thorpe Ave., Americus, says: "Sev
eral years ago I had a severe attack
of kidney trouble. Myjddneys were
weak, my back pained and I felt tired
and languid all tie time. At night
I couldn’t rest on account of the
pains and I was so nervous, I couldn’t
sleep. Doan’s Kidney Pills were rec
ommended to me and I begam using
them. One box fixed me up in fine
shape again and I cannot say enough
for this medicine.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t

one of the popular girls of the stu
dent body, esteemed alike with col
lege mates and faculty. She has
been popular throughout the state,
where she has visited friends on many
happy occasions, and in this com

been spent. It is a matter of deep
regret that her marriage removes her

Some Interesting
Things You’ll Find
atCarnegie Library
Have you read '‘Main Street,” by
Sinclair Lewis? If not, you have
missed the most talked-about, writ
ten-about book of the year. Arthur
Maurice, in an article entitled ::Au
thors and Best Sells,” which appears
in the June number of the World’s
Work, tell us that everything has
been said about “Main Street” ex
cept no one has suggested that it
has not been adequately advertised.
Much of this advertising is indiscreet.
A diplomat is quoted as saying that
the trouble in Europe is that “Eu
rope thinks of the United States in
terms of Wall Street and not in terms
of Main Street.”
It is a wonderfully interesting ar
ticle that Mr. Maurice has written
and it tells some very remarkable
things about the best sellers. He be
gins by saying that one hundred
years ago the best selling novelist
in England was Sir Walter Scott,
and in America, he adds, that Wash
ington Irving and James Fenimore
Cooper bore the same stigma a cen
tury ago!
Ail the best sellers of any literary
repute are listed by Mr. Maurice and
it is significant that the names of
Zane Grey and Ethel Dell are con
spicuously absent.
Scott Fitzgerald’s “This Side of
Paradise,” and Floyd Dell’s “Moon
Calg,” are classed with “Main Street.
But you must read this article for
yourself. It is illustrated and the
fortunes that the authors amassed
overnight are fabulous. One en
couragement to the apostle of good
literature lies in the preference for
history and biography as shown by
popular vote of the Christmas bqpk
buyers. Fiction, strange to say,
ranked fifth instead of first.
Other articles in this number of
the World’s Work are “An Interview
With Charles E. Hughes,” The Chau
tauquas, An American Achievement,
The Men Who Standardized Automo
bile Parts, which is a romance of
automobile manufacturers.
But to go back to the best sellers
—it is a real joy to renew acquaint
ance wit hour old favorites, many of
them new favorites as well and stile
selling merrily on.
The Century Magazine has a new
dress which is a splendid imitation of
leather, and the first story in the
current number is by Sinclair Lewis,
“A Post-Mortem Murder.”
Radio-active substances cause the
appearance of colors in glass and
porcelain.
Japan has few wild animals and
no poisonous reptiles.
CARD OF THANKS

preciation for the many acts of lov
ing sympathy shown us during the
illness and death of our loved one,

tributed.

DAWSON, June B.—That Irish po
tatoes can be grown successfully tor
market m <ierrell county has been
proven on tne larm or Claud A.
watcher, about seven miles northwest
of Dawson, brom a second big crop
this season has been gathered and
shipped two cars ot tr.e spuds," each
car averaging about bOO oushels, or
200 3-busiicls bags. Mr. S. D. Hatch
er, who has charge of the farm, states
that about 150 bushels, or one-fourth
of a car, is yet to be shipped, which ,
will be the last tor this season. The i
Hatcher farm has about twenty acres ;
in “spuds” this year, which will yield
about 1,100 bushels, an average of;
70 bushels per acre. T hese potatoes i
sell for about $6 per bushel, and atj
the above figures the crop this sea- i
son will yield approximately $2,700,'
an average of $135 per acre. I
Not only has growing of potatoes,
proven profitable to Mr. Hatcher, |
but alfalfa also has been successful- j
ly grown for market on the same j
farm, forty acres being given over to '
this weed. The second crop has been {
cut this season, and the average;
yield has been about 1,200 pounds!
to the acre. This, too, is bringing
a good price, two cars already liav- ;
ing been shipped, and a large amount i
about ready for harvesting.
Time To Set Sweet
Potatoes For Best Yield
The Georgia Experiment Station, I
H. P. Stanley, director, has issued'
the following bulletin:
“Few of our field garden crops can |
be planted over so long a period with •
such satisfactory results as the sweet
potato.
“A number of experiments have
been conducted at the Georgia Ex
periment Station to determine at just
what time of the year to set sweet
potato plants to produce the largest
yields. Seasonal conditions (varied
the yields from year to year. Butj
the plantings extending over a num
ber of years showed that the best
yields were made by plants set from
about the middle of May until the
11th of June. It was observed fur
ther, however, that profitable crops
could be made from plants set as
late as the sth of July.
“Where a full crop of sweet po
tatoes has not been planted the crop
may follow small grain, as oats,
wheat and rye. with very satisfactory
results. Usually about this time of
the year there is an accumulation
of some stable manure on most farms.
This may be applied in the drill at
the rate of about ten two-horse wag
on loads per acre and supplemented
with commercial fertilizers at the
rate of about 300 pounds per acre.
A fertilizer approximating an 8-2-2
will be good for this purpose, how
ever, almost any remnant of a fer
tilizer mixture which may be on hand
wilt serve.
“Further experiments at the Geor
gia Experiment Station show that

for very late plantings, cuttings from
vines will give a few more potatoes
than will draws or slips. This may
be explained by the fact that vine
cuttings produce a cluster of pota
toes from two or more nodes of the
part set while the plant forms only
one cluster, and neitner has time to
become crowded or reach full de
velopment. Another advantage de
rived from the use of vine cuttings is
the production of potatoes nearly
free from disease. The much dread
ed “black rot” of sweet potatoes lives
largely on the roots of the plants.
Thus when vine cuttings are used,
and planted on noninfected soil, that
is soil which has not grown sweet
potatoes for several years, the dis
ease is largely eliminated.”
