AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 29, 1925 .COVERED WA6UN ' HONEYMOON WAS MORE ROMANTIC Bride of 1867 Tells of Hfr Expe riences On Honeymoon; More Romance Then Than Now MADISON, Ga„ Oct. 27.—Honey ■mooning in the days of the covered ■wagon was as romantic and : 'ven turous as today, with a few extra features thrown in. With a young heart, a young husband fr sh from the Civil War, and a wagon and team, Mrs. Annie Copelan of Madison, a bride of 1867, set out on a wed ’.ng trip the like o' which she, as probably many others today, see in the movies. Traveling over much of the territory devastat ed by Sherman’s army, progress was slow. But there were days when 30 miles were covered. Brides today might have been across the country. Once they were held up by three burly fellows who walked into their camp (Pullmans were unknown) well armed with pistols. The bride was frightened, but her husband remain ed calm. One of the men demanded that he (change a ten dollar bill, which the young man recognized as a counter feit. When Copelan refused, they began unbuckling their pistols. “With all the bravery and daring of a young soldier, my husband reached back as if for a gun and dar ed them to shoot,” Mrs. Copelan said. “I’ve heard cannon,’ he said. 4 Do you think I’m afraid of pistols?’ They retreated slowly and finally disappeared. The moderate cold oi a Southern winter caught them before they had reached their destination, and Christ mas found them in th e Blue Ridge I ‘ V PREPARE a , NOW Don’t be wishing two years from to ll —[ day that you had || —| M| taken our advice.

Most coaches would have sought an easy schedule, but not Rockne. On the Notre Dame schedule this year are such tough teams as the Army, Georgia Tech, enn State, Min nesota, Nebraska and others of like ilk. They meet Georgia Teach next Saturday. Prior to the Army game, Rockne predicted that his team would be with the Veteran Army eleven. Rockne, as usual, was right; West Point won, 27-0. Don’t get the impression that Notre Dame is hopeless It is a team with great possibilities that Rockne will eventually bring out before thie season closes. Says Coach Captain John McEwan of West Point: “Don’t under-rate Notre Dame; AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER Rockne will have the experts talk ing about his team before the season is over.” cw • //wf ; ' There is ■ K/TSS9 i- no better Oil " I at any price than JU[ fjßf If ■ i i T** b *~~^ a * < *»./...,/.. i /I^ml_ — iwDLy 11 yumfc*>»■'■>.!i KFSr— hy fflw if 1 | its QUALITY is based on half as, I century of Refining Experience, • I -w ■ .

In Nevada, the subsistence and maintenance of alm house inmates cost per year $865.10 per capita. In Alabama it cost $187.5.1. In South Dakota, the property in vestment in almhouses and almhouse farms per person eared for is $5,600, while in Mississippi it is $415.63. One of the reasons for high cost, the department said is the large num her of small institutions devoted t< the care of the poverty stricken. It was found that one-third of all such establishments had less than 10 in mates, and one-half had less than 25. “The small almhouse,” it was ad — ded, “stands Out as the web of in- I PAGE THREE Uuiorence and eglect whici. begins with a nublic that either knows noth ing of its existence or has so little concern that it pays no attention to conditions.” Early matches were first dipped in sulphur.
