WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 1921. OEE® bell-henderson. 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.

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.

IRISH POTATOES PAY IN TERRELL 20-Acre Field Yields $135 Per Acre—2 Cars Shinned 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 THE STANDARD TWENTY-FIVE $40.00 ART SQUARES AT $22.50 Alexander Smith & Sons Tapestry Brussels Art Squares in beauti ful shades floral and oriental de signs; each bears the name of Alexander Smith & Sons; noth , ing equal to this in Southwest Georgia.

For«yth St. Next Bank of Commerce AMERICUS, GA. 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.” Phonograph needles which produce a clear tone are being made of clay.
