Great Baptist Meeting.
The Baptists of the Flint River
Association are looking forward
with great pleasure to the coming
of Dr. W. L. Poteat, President of
'Wake Forest College, North Caro
lina, who has been engaged for
an address at Griffin, Ga., Thurs
day, July 24th, at 3:30 p. m.
Dr. Poteat is easily one of the
ablest speakers among the Bap
tists of the South and is in great
demand for addresses in all sec
tions of the United States.
It is earnestly desired that all
the pastors, and as many mem
bers as can possibly attend, shall
hear Dr. Poteat on this occasion.
The subject of his address will be
“What Jesus Wants With Us.”
The discussion of this vital subject
will appeal to all men and women
alike and all are urged to attend.
While this meeting is held pri
marily by and for the Baptists,
those who are responsible for the
meeting extend a cordial invita
tion to the general public, believ
ing that the service will be both
interesting and helpful.

Wedding Takes Place
In Fire Engine House.
An unexpected blaze or even a
false alarm at noon Saturday in
the neighborhood of Engine House
No, 11 would have abruptly inter
rupted the first wedding of its
kind solemnized in the history of
Atlanta.
For at that hour, the Rev. L. P.
Driskel, who fights earthly fires
for a living when he’s not saving
souls from the heat commonly ac
credited to the lower regions, vv as
marrying Miss Blanche B. Wynn,
attractive Henry county girl, and
Marcus B. Sentell, Atlanta boy and
Eighty-second division veteran.
The fire-fighting parson was on
dutv. So were most of the little
gathering who witnessed ihe cere
mony. It took place in the offici
ating clergyman’s study, which is
the library on the second floor of
the North avenue fire station.
Dr. Driskell wore his uniform.
So did Lieutenant S. P. Fincher,
who was in charge of the after
noon shift. So did Clyde Phillips

And if the big glistening brass
gong downstairs had happened to
clang out its imperative summons
along about the time the wedding
party was listening to (he phrase,
“I now pronounce you man and”
—the expectant bride and groom
would have seen a sudden, un
ceremonious dispersal via the
round holes and slippery metai
poles that connect upstairs with
the apparatus below. And the
couple would have waited at this
transient stage between singleness
and marriage until the fireman
pason came back to speak the
final binding word.
The groom is an old friend of
Mr. Driskell and when he got his
discharge from M. Company,
Three Hundred and Twenty
seventh Infantry recently, he
asked his chum to officiate at the
wedding. The bride is the daugh
ter of a well-known farmer of
Henry county, near Jenkinsburg.
The pair met while Mrs. Sentell,
then Miss Wynn, was visiting At
