| SOME PERTINENT FURNITURE QUESTIONS
IB Do you “shop around” for your furniture and get short-lived “bargains”?
£2 Or do you just drop in somewhere—most anywhere—and take what the salesman gives you?
“ Or do you patronize regularly a furniture store where you can get the careful, painstaking attention of those
j*| who fully realize the importance to them of your good opinion and confidence?
11 Those who are interested in the permanent, substantial growth of their business?
£2 Those who believe that the right kind of growth comes only through the right kind of service?
5 Those who try at leaft as hard not to sell you the wrong piece of furniture—in case they haven’t the right
|| piece—as they do to sell you the right pieces when they have them?
11 Those who make an honest effort to get the right piece, when they haven’t it already in stock?
12 Those who in short, show a live, human' interest in your side of the furniture proposition? •
5 There is more in furniture service than you have suspected unless you have tried the personal service of

A Beautiful Home Wedding
On Wednesday, 7th inst, at 6
o’clock p. m., Rev. Norman W.
Cox and Miss Osve Lee Mathews
were happily married at the resi
dence of the bride’s parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Wm, C. Mathews, three miles
from Cairo,on the ThomaSville road.
Rev. R. H. Harris performed the
wedding ceremony, in a very simple
but appropriate manner, in the pres
ence of a few of the nearest relatives
of the contracting pair. The parlor
was very modestly yet, at the same
time, very tastefully arranged, La
the occasion, and the wedding din
ner which followed was one not soon
to be forgotten. Mrs. Mathews is
a finnished ; housekeeper, of old

aptitudes; so it is safe to predict fo r
him (with her co-operation) a suc
cessful and eyen brilliant future.
It is the purpose of the young;
minister to continue his studies, al
ready pursued during a year past,at
Norman Park, for ayear mom, at
Cyrene; then to take the full A. B.
course in Mercer University ;an.d du
ally to complete the Divinity course,
without abridgement, at the South
ern Baptist Theological Seminary,,
in Louisville, Ky. That purpose
will cover a period of eight years as
planned; but there is no doubt that
he will accomplish all he conbs n-
plates, as Drs. McConnell and Gra
ham and others have done uuder
like conditions before hirn.
In the meantime Mr. Cox wi\
serve churches on Saturdays and
Sundays, as he may bo called and
will do evangelistic work, for whiefa
he shows remarkable aptitude, ua
his vacations.
The bridegroom belongs to a very
excellent family. His father, Mr.
I Wade Cax, resides at Climax, liis
1 sister, Miss Desa Cox, is one of the
m'bxt efficient teachers in the Cains
j Public School and he is related to

dents pf and professors in the South
