WHATLEY-SWATTS
The elegant home of Mr. and Mrs.
F. J. Whatley w r as the scene of a
wedding of rare beauty and interest
Saturday at high noon when their
only daughter. Miss Mary Ethel, be
came the bride of Henry Hammond
Swatts, formerly of Bamesville, Ga.
The entire lower floor was thrown
together, where the decorations were
altogether in pink and green. Pink
snapdragons were tastefully ar
ranged in crystal holders, while
southern smilax festooned the walls
and chandeliers, making a graceful
arch between the parlor and library.
On either side of this were stands
of graceful ostrich ferns forming a
beautiful setting for the ceremony.
At the appointed hour Miss Fran
ces Watson took her place at the
piano and to the soft strains of Men
delssohn’s wedding march the bridal
party entered and was met at the
altar by Elder J. T. Satterwhite, of
LaFayette, who performed the cere
mony in his simple, impressive and
beautiful manner in the presence of
the family and a few close friends.
Making this ceremony more impres
sive is the fact that Elder Satter
white united the mother and father
of the bride twenty-three years ago.
The charming young bride was
never more lovely than at this time,
when her girlish beauty was en
hanced by her ensemble gown of
hand embroidered crepe gaille in
rust brown and tan shades, with ac
cessories to match, her hat being an
attractive model of brown with pastel
shades. She carried a shower bou
quet of bride’s roses and valley lilies
tied with embroidered white tulle.
The bride in her girlish manner
has endeared herself to a wide circle
of friends. She is very talented in
music and has made this a special
study. Mr. Swatts holds a position
of trust with the Opelika Motor Cos.,
and in this capacity meeting and
making friends by the score.
Mrs. Whatley served a lovely buf
fet dinner to the wedding party af
ter which the couple left in their car
for a visit to his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. R. L. Swatts, of Barnesville,
Ga., points in Florida and other
places of interest. They will be at
'■home with the bride’s parents after
Jan. 25th.—Opelika (Ala.) News.

THREE ARTS CLUB MEETING
The home of Mrs. L. A. Collier
was opened with a gracious welcome
to the members of the Three Arts
club for the January meeting. The
accommodations of the spacious
home were much enjoyed since the
club has almost outgrown the seating
capacity of the club house.
The decorations were a foretaste
of spring and were in perfect har
mony with the rare musical program
that was rendered.
Mrs. U. C. Barrett was chairman
of the January program which was
decidedly one of the best the club
has enjoyed, the study being the
opera, “Faust.”
As the roll was called, names from
I. to L., inclusive, responded with
quotations from Wm. Cullen Bryant.
Mrs. W. H. Hahr gave a very in
teresting sketch of Gounod.
A synopsis of Opera, “Faust,” by
Mrs. Emmett Coleman was a fine
study.
The Flower Song, vocal solo, by
Mrs. H. E. Armstrong, was applaud
ed to the echo, but Mrs. Armstrong
never responds to an encore.
Mrs. C. M. Dunn, the president,
announced that some choice records
of the Opera had been furnished the
Three Arts club with the compliments
of the Cable Piano Cos., of Atlanta.
After expressions of appreciations
for so great a courtesy several rec
ords were given on the victrola, in
cluding “Once Again I Love Thee,”
“Soldiers’ Chorus.” “The Hour Is
Late,” “Even Bravest Heart.”
One of the most beautiful num
bers of the' wonderful program was
the Waltz Song, by the chorus.
It was a source of much pleasure

strengthening, invigorating effect, see how
it brings color to the cheeks and how
it improves the appetite, you will then
appreciate its true tonic value.

that so many of out-of-town mem
bers were present, regardless of mid
winter weather.
We are very proud of the fact that
the city is to entertain the State
Federation of Music Clubs March
25-28, inclusive. Winning the 1925
convention was an interesting con
test for a much coveted prize and our
talented little city was heartily con
gratulated on the committee’s favor
able report. The “Convention”
towns and cities are the ones that
continue in the public eye. It’s a
grand opportunity and every home
will do well to radiate with a wel

glory like unto the old time “Gordon
Commencement” days. We are am
bitious to make the 1925 convention
the greatest ever.

who served lovely refreshments, were

THE MERCER GLEE CLUB
A rare treat is in store for Barnes
ville’s lovers of a good entertainment
on Friday night. February 6th.
The Mercer Glee Club with forty
splendid musicians, singers and men
gifted in other forms of concert
work will appear at Gordon audi
torium. The press reports have all
been complimentary and sustain
what is claimed that this is the best
Glee Club sent out by grand old
Mercer University.
The Gordon Annual is to share the
proceeds and a typical Barnesville
audience will honor the Glee Club
on this occasion.
Her First Experience
A minister's little daughter was at
tending her first church service, at
which her father presided. On hts en
trunce, she was greatly surprised, and
cried out In Joyful recognition. "Why,
there’s my papu up In that box !” Moth
er and aunt swoojted down upon her,
and the little maiden was cautioned
to keep silent. But the service was
long, and the wee worshiper got very
tired. Mother whispered that It would
soon be over, but baby-nature had
reached Its limit of endurance. Walk
ing Into the aisle, she coaxlngly asked,
“Isn’t you nearly done, pupa?" —De-

Land by the Ounce
America's most expensive renl es
tate, undoubtedly, Is the soil of New
York city. For Instance —
The wife of a hanker —the hanker
having lately been "called” to New
York to Join the staff of a New York
hank —sought to light up the couple’s
apartment by growing a pot of flowers.
A friend had sent her some bulbs.
From a florist she bought a little pot
—price 25 cents.
“And now," she said to the florist.
"I’d like to have you till the pot with
some nice, rich soil."
“Ludy,” said the florist, "I con sup
ply the soil, all right, but It'll cost
you twice as much as the pot.”
Only One Solar System
No other system resembling our
Bolar system is known to exist. How
ever, there are many double, some
triple, and gome quarduple stars; but
unless the smaller members of such
systems ore more comparable In size
to the sun than to Jupiter, we hove
no means of knowing of their exls
tenee. The smallest stnr whose muss
is known with fuir accuracy seems to
be at least one-eighth as heavy as the
sun, while Jupiter Is less thnn a
thousandth ns heavy us the sun.
