Miller Bros., contractors, are
completing this week, an $8,000
job n ear Beachton, in Duncan
■ville district, for Mr. L. S. Thomp
son of Red Banks, N. J.
The place is known as “Imon-
ia Hall,” being in four miles of
the famous lake by that name.
Imonia Hall, when Miller Bros,
'get through with it, will consist
of 14 bedrooms, not including
bathrooms and closets, and every
pair of rooms is equipped with
bath apd lavitory, the house be
ing supplied with sewerage and
waterworks.
A garage house large enough
for two autos, with two connect
ing rooms for a chauffeur with
each-car.
A, dog house, large enough to
accomodate 50 dogs, and good
enough for a family to live in
in comfort, is part of the equip
ment, with a splendid barn and
wagon house...
Mr. Thompson is very rich,
spending only 3. months, Decem
ber, January and February at
Imonia Hah, where he owns
1,000 acres of fine land, mostly
woods, where deer,, turkey and
quail abound,.turkeys and quail
in large numbers,
; Mr. D. W. Gwattney, a very
clever gentleman, takes care of
the place for Mr. Thompson and
itis under his supervision that
the present work is being done.
* Myler Bros, have done a neat,
good job, and Imonia Hall will
' be a great pleasure resort and
hunting ground for Mr. Thomp
son and his friends when they
come South.
Near Imonia Hall is the mag
nificent country home of the late
A. H. Mason, Mason of shoe
blacking fame, many times a
•millionaire. The elder Mason is
, <lead, but his widow and son oc
cupy this winter home several
months during the year. On pass
ing the place, which impresses
one that here in the wildernees—
in.the primitive forrest—beyond
the sound or sign of civilization,
.is a superb country home—you
see dozens of cat squirrels jump
ing from tree to tuee, having be
come domesticated from being
merely left alone.
Rev. A. C. Shuler, the well
known evangelist, will assist
pastor Stubbs of Whigham, in a
series of meetings, beginning
June 24th,
Mr. Shuler is a sure enough
live wire in the pulpit, He says
things and does things regard
less of consequences.

Miss Carrie Wight, of Cairo,
has been the guest of Mrs. ,T. J.
Brown this week.—-Edison News
There has probably never been
a wedding in Cairo of more in
terest to as large a circle of rela
tives and friends as the one on'
Tuesday, June 17th, which unit
ed Miss Irma Powell and Mr.
Charles- Beale in the holy bonds
bonds of matrimony.
The home of the bride’s pa
rents, Mr. and Mrs. Lemuel
Brockett Powell, was handsom
ely decorated and in keeping
with the social importance of so
prominent a marriage. Bloom
ing plants and ferns were artisti
cally arranged and the occasion
was beautiful from whatever an
gle viewed.
The guests began to arrive
shortly after five o’clock and be
ing met in the hall by Mrs. Dr.
Lindsey and (Mrs. Walter Wright
were ushered to the punch bowls
in the hall and dining-room,
where they were graciously
served by Misses Rosaline Pow
ell, Margaret Jones and Agnes
and Ellen Walker, all relatives of
the bride. At a few minutes be
fore five-thirty, the appointed
hour for the ceremony, Mrs. Lee
Willis, of Quincy Florida, s mg
beautifully “All for You,” -nd
Mrs. Hamilton of Montezuma,
sang “I love you Truly,” in a
charming manner; both Indies
being cousins of the bride. Miss
Addie Lou Powell, another cous
in, presided at the piano and to
the strains of Mendelssohn’s
Wedding March, the bride and
groom entered the hall whence
they passed into the drawing
room, where they stood surround
ed by members of their respec

friends.
While “Traummeurrei” was
softly and sweetly played, the
ceremony was impressively per
formed by Rev. George Beale, of
Tennessee, an uncle of the groom.
The bride was beautiful in her
going-away gown of blue serge
with Bulgarian trimmings and
hat with same effect An exquisite
bouquet of bride’s roses and'-val
ley lilies and ferns was carried
in her arms.
Immediately after the cere
mony and congratulations, four

Mamie Love. Burts, Effie Forres
ter and Eva Hid!, served the bri
dal party and guests with a de
lightful ice course; after which,
the bride and groom and a num

Waked up the Liver
People are becoming more sen
sible all the time—learning more
about the importance of taking
care of themselves, and how to
do it.
They are.learning, for instance,
not to resort to harsh, griping
cathartics for cleansing the sys
tem, when it is so much better
to use a pleasant effervescing
drink.
You can prepare a correctly-
proportioned, pleasant mineral
water by dissolving a few tea
spoonfuls of
Liver Saline
in a glass of water. Drink it
before breakfast and it wakes up
the liver.
Really, this is a fine thing for
peopie of sedentary habits, to
keep the bowels regular with
out causing the slightest irrita
tion. And the effect on the liver
is much better than ordinarily
produced by calomel (which Pen-
slar Liver Saline of course does
not contain).
The little aluminum measuring
cup that comes with the bottle is
always at hand, clean and sanita
ry for getting exactly the right
amount.
All these Penslar Remedies
(more than 100 of them) are
worthy of your full confidence.
Remember the name—Penslar—
and tell us your needs. We’ll
help you select, the right remedy.
A twenty-five cent bottle of
Penslar Liver Saline will convince
and please’you.

demonstrated by the numerous
and handsome presents received.

friends in congratulations.
