MR. DILLARD SAMS
A BENEDICT
Former Resident of McDonough
Weds a Jackson Lady
We copy the following from last
week’s Pike County Journal con
cerning the marriage of Mr. Dil
lard Sams, who was for a year or
two a resident of McDonough, be
ing engaged here in the cotton
business, and his many friends here
united in congratulating him upon
his good fortune:
“Mr. Dillard Sams and Miss Lola
Edwards, of Jackson, were mar
ried in Griffin Sunday, the cere
mony being performed by the Rev.
Dr. Murray, pastor of the Griffin
Presbyterian church.
“ Mr. Sams left here last Sunday
in an automobile, accompanied by
Mr. Lewis Milner and Dr. K. C.
Burnley, and went over to Jack
son, where the bride was in readi
ness for the party, and they left
ostensibly for a trip to the big
power dam on the Ocmulgee, but
came directly on to Griffin and
were married.
“The bride is the daughter of
Rev. and Mrs. T. S. Edwards, who
served the Methodist church here
in 1905, and is well known here
where she has many friends who
admire her for her many excellent
traits.
“ Mr. Sams is a son of Mr. J. R.
Sams, who has traveled this terri
tory as a drummer for many years,
. and is a highly esteemed young
man. He has just recently ac
cepted a position as bookkeeper
for Means-Dickson Company and
has made many good friends here.
The popular young couple have
the best wishes of their many
friends for a long and happy
wedded life.”

Children of Confederacy Meet
Friday Afternoon.
The Children of the Confed
eracy will meet Friday afternoon,
at 3 o’clock, upstairs in the Ma

It is desired that not, only the
present members be 'present, but
that other children come and join.
The impression seems to prevail
among some of the children that
this excellent organization is not
intended for boys, but only for the
girls.
This is a mistake, but the boys
can join and are wanted as mem
bers.
So go Friday and join and be
gin early to be useful in this way.
