NO. 28 GEO COUPLE NO APPOINTMENT WILE NOT MAKE ISSUE MISS ENGLISH WATCH FOR NEGRO BROUGHT MARRIED FRIDAY YET FOR CAMILLA FOR TAX RECEIVER OR STILUiS. OLIVER SAMPLE COPY FROM BRADENTOWN Last Friday afternoon an un usual wedding took place here when Dr, George W. Rutherford of Kimmundy, 111., and Mrs. E. F. Richter of this city were mar ried by Ordinary P. H. Herring at the Clarke Boarding House.

McNair, Jr. Something New In Banking There is-indeed nothing else like it? in the whole United States so far as anybody knows at present. Two banks in Rock Hill, S. G., lend money to farmers at 6 per cent. The merchants have to • 7 per cent! The reason is that the farmers leave their accounts in' the bank a longer time and checks it out- more gradually. Did you ever before anywhere in this country hear of the farm ers getting ahead of anybody else? The outcome of the contest for the Camilla office continues to cause speculation there. Since the announcement that the name of Mr. 0. E. Cox, who was re commended for the place by Con gressman Park, had been sent to the .Senate for confirmation, no further information concerning this matter , has been received from Washington. In the meanwhile all candidates for the place and the public gen erally are awaiting the outcome with considerable interest. The term of Mrs. Lena Brimberry, the present incumbent, expired the 15th of January and she made arrangements to retire from the office on that date. She is hold ing over, however, until her suc cessor is named, which, it is be lieved, will not be delayed much longer. Everybody is invited to the school auditorium next week to see the play, “Es meralda” given by local tal ent. This will be a rare oc casion. STRAIN-SALMONS A happy maariage which took place last Sunday, was that of Miss Strain, of Areton, Ala. to Mr. Jay Salmons of this. city.

Mr. T. H. Dekle, who announc ed in last week’s issue oijth'e Pro gress, for the office of Tax . Re ceiver, cannot make the race on' account of not having been in the county the required number of years, and has requested us to announce the same to the voters of the county. When Mr. Dekle announced he had not thought of this part of the law, and of course has to with draw.

Pearly Teeth Go through the European cities and you will see a great many signs “Dr. So-and-So, American Dentist.” ’ They know oyer there that American dentists are the best and most skilful in the world— and they do say it is because the American people have the worst teeth in the world. Not so very flattering it is But never mind. With the best dental skill at our coriimand, and dentifrices ox the right sort that will all come out right. We keep everything for the hygiene of the mouth—tooth brushes, tooth powders,' pastes, and washes, mouth washes, den tal floss.. We specially recommend Perla-Benta Tooth Paste because it has the right cleansing and polishing ingredients, pleas antly flavored, and it certainly justifies its name which signifies “pearly teeth.” There are-a number of. good tooth pastes. We are not pre judiced-just as soon sell you one as another—but why not try our advice once and see if Penslar isn’t a little nicer than your favo rite kind? If it is, you certainly want.it. Pelra-Denta Tooth Powder is just the right sort too—the most particular people use paste and powder both, alternately. The Grady Pharmacy THE PENSLAR STORE Advertisment. Thpmasville, Ga., Feb. 9.— W’ha.l la now her legal status" is the question propounded to her Thomasville lawyers, Messrs. Luke and Moore, by the young wornan who was Miss Rosebud English before she was married to A. D. Oliver, ex-Climax bank er and financier. Miss English was married to Oliver when he \\ as at the hight of his spectacu lar career in this section. He gave her many handsome pre septs and seemed very devoted to her. 1 When Oliver was thrown into bankruptcy and his case carried to the courts, though charges of all sorts were brought against him the' only one on which he was convicted was bigamy, it be ing alleged that as L. C. Hard ing he had been already married in Mississippi and his wife was still living. With this, as it was then thought, proven the wife he had married in Climax felt that she was not a wife and went back to her mother. Some time afterwards she married a Mr. James, who claimed to be selling mining stock. She went West with him, but left him in a short time claiming that he had mis treated her.- Not long ago she obtained a divorce from him in Thomas Superior Court. As things stand now, if Oliver is not Harding then his marriage to Miss English was valid and she wishes advice as to whether in the eyes of the law she is con sidered, his wife now. She is well" known"kere having been a former student of Young’s Col lege and, also has relatives here. When working as a convict in Lee county Oliver told acquain tances from here that his wife had visited him and had stated that she still loved him.

The negro was located some time ago by Florida officers at the above mentioned place, and Mr. Stanfill has made two trips there,,returning with the negro on the last one. The negro bears some' of the marks and scars of the Williams. negro. He claims he left’ Ekst- man, Ga , some 8 years ago, and claims he knows no one in this section, except former Sheriff Patterson of Decatur county. ,• 1 • I ^ *
