To Those Who Doubt.

faith in our advertisements is daily proved by re
sults. That there are some people in this community who
do not believe in the truth of any printed statement “goes
without saying. They are not to blame for this, perhaps,
however, “a burn child dreads fire,” you know. So an oft
humbugged buyer is shy of being humbugged again. This
store reaches out ior the doubting ones, and desires to prove
to them that in all its advertising, it states facts,—only facts

la anion there is srteugtb, and a
union of the farmers to the end of pro
tecting themselves in the salo of their
cotton next fall will mean thoasands of
dollars in their pockets. In other coun
ties they are organizing already, and
Snmter must not lag behind in this im
portant work.
In Georgia and tbroughont "the
belt’’ the farmers are coming together.
To the end of advising with our farm
ers and explaiding the plans proposed
for the more advantageous sale of their
cotton, a meeting will be held in Am
ericas on Saturday, July 29th.
Hon. Pope Brown, president of tho
Georgia Agricultural Society, and
Hod. Harvie Jordan, president of the
Cotton Growers Association, have been
invited to address the farmers here
upon this very important question, and
have agreed to como to Americus on
the date mentioned,
They will speak at Vienna the day.
before, and are anxions to discuss the
subject with Snmter’s farmers on 2Stb.
President Jordan writes enthusias
tically npon the subject in a letter to
Capt. M. B Council. He believes
that under existing conditions, and
by proper handling of the next crop,
that farmers can easily obtain 10 cents
for their cotton from the opening to
the close of the season.
In nearly all the Sonthern states he
is organizing the farmers and securing
cooperation in the sale of the next cot
ton crop. It is a great work and
means millions to the South.
Let the farmers come to hear these
gentlemen on Saturday, 28th.
If perfect organization is effected the
trne facts regarding crop conditions
can be secured nntil the cotton is mar
keted, and farmers will thns be pro
tected against Neill and others of his
kind whose reports of enormous crops
in yoars past have enriched the spin-
ners at the farmers expense.

One of tho prettiest church weddings
that ever occurred in this city was that
of Mr. Henry W. Pittman and Miss
Mnry Lou Noyes, which happy event
took place last evening at 8:30 o'clock
at the .First Methodist church.
On account of the popularity and
high social standing of the young coup-
lo their nuptials had been looked for
ward to with much pleasnro by a host
of friends. Miss Noyes hns long been
considered one of the most beautiful
young women in the city and her
charming disposition and lovely char
acter has won for her many admirers
and friends.
Never did a bride look more sub
limely beautiful.
"No Grecian chisel could ere trace
A lovelier form or fairer face.”
The handsome groom, Mr. Pittman,
whom everyono knows, is to be heartily
congratulated upon winning encli c
charming life companion.
The Mothodist church never present
ed n scene of more dazzling beauty,
with its myriad lights ami exquisite
lloral decorations. Tho wedding sceno
was a picture of loveliness as the laily
attendants, Misses Minnie John Wil
liams, Mamie Ooodo and Deanic
Noyes, exquisitely attired in white or
gandy with satin trimmings, entered
tho sanctuary, and beautiful indeed
wero they ns they stood within the
chancel. ,
Tho bride, elegantly gowned in white
French silk monsselline, attended by
her maid of honor, Miss Eosaiind
Smith,-attired in lovely pink organ
dy, approached tho altar from the west
door and was joined by the groom and
his best man, Mr. John Wooten.
Tho groomsmen, Messrs. J. M
Smith, W. A. Wooten and G. W. Pitt
man, who were in waiting within tho
chancel, wero joined by the ushers.
Messrs. Charles Willis, Leo Hansford,
John W. Shiver, X. S. Childers and L.
G. McKinney, which completed tho
handsomo wedding party.
The Americus Light Infantry, of
which Mr. Pittman was n gallant mem
ber, camo ns a special escort to their
comrade on his wedding eve, and in
their full dress uniform lont an inpir-
ing addition to tho already perfect
wodding circle.
Tho bride and groom stood boneatli
n magnificent floral arch, andmuLt the
strains of Mcndolssohn’s wodding
march, rendered by Mrs. Julia Everett,
the ceremony was impressively per
formed by ltov. W. J. Noyes, father of
tho bride, assisted by Rev. G. W.
Mathews, after which tho bridal party
passed slowly along tho aisles of the
crowded church and to the home of the
bride’s parents, whore congratulations
were tendered.
Mr. and Mrs Pittman left by tho
9:3(1 train for Washington. One of the
interesting features of this pretty wed
ding was tho beautiful solo "Because
I Love Yon, Dear” renderod by Miss
Mary Granberry prior to tho ceremony.
Mr. and Mrs. Pittman were the re
cipients of many heantiful and costly
presonts, the Knights of Pythias pres
enting an exquisite gift, as did the
Amerieus Light Iufautry. No young
eoaplo ever started life undor more
choering auspices, ami all Americus
wishes Mr. Pittman and his bonny
bride a delightful wedding trip and a
safe return home.
