THE ENTERPRISE, COVINGTON, QA
A Pretty Wedding in Oxford.
F: r some time the approaching
marriage cf Miss Mane Lane Evans
to Mr. Nolan Austin Goodyear had
been known to take place at the
Methodist church in Oxford, at 5
P- m., 8tpt. 2, 1908, so long before
that hour the church was being
filled with people from Oxford,
Covington, and the adjoining
neighborhoods.
A most elaboiate and beautiful
decoration of the church with
palms and ferns and choice flowers,
garlands of green being suspended
from a large and most tastefully
constructed wedding bell to the
chandeliers, had been arranged,
the house being darkened and the
lamp lighted giving quite a novel
scene. Befoie, very softly during,
and after the ceremony, music was
exquisitely rendered by Mrs, Em¬
mie Dimou Nash, a cousin of the
bride, seated almost hidden in a
bank of decorations. Mendelssohns
wedding march was rendered as the
bridal parties came up the aisle
and going out by the strains of
Lohengrin.
Promptly at 5 o’clock p. in., the
bridal party arrived and Mr. P. F.
White and Mr. F. F. Farmer, as
ushers, met them, followed by the
brides maids, who entered the
church from tjje north and south
wings and escorting them to their
places. The six brides maids all
wearing lovely gowns of white lin¬
gerie and lace made princess, with
bows of pink ribbon on their hair
carrying each bouquets of Ameri¬
can Beauty roses and ferns.
The brides maids were, Misses
Julia Dickey, Mary Hill Moore,
Annie Sue Bonnell, Virginia Peed,
Catharine Magath, and Lucille Stje
vens. These brides maids march
ing to tkejfront door, there met the
bride and groom. The bride came
in first exquisitely gowned in white
silk with bands of fillett lace and
carrying a largs boquet of Brides
roses and ferns, accompanied by
her maid of honor, Miss Kate
Sheridan, of Columbus, Ga., who
i was charmingly gowned in pink
silk and carrying pink carnations,
This couple was preceeded up the
aisle by little Miss Claire Dickey,
dressed in pink silk with pink car¬
nations, bearing tfie wedding ring,
while on the opposite aisle came
the groom at same time accompa¬
nied by his best man, Mr. Douglass
Rumble, this couple immediately
following little Miss Emma Louise
Bonnell as pillow bearer, who was
dressed also in pink silk carrying
pink carnations; the bride and
groom meeting in front of the alter
where the minister stood in a cove
of beautiful decorations, that most
impressive marriage ceremonv of
the M. E. Church South was most
appropriately performed by Rev.
Dr. J. E. Dickey, President of
Emory College.
Immediately after these services
a short and informal reception wa«
held at the home cl the bride’s pa¬
rents, Dr. and Mrs. 'V. \V. Evans,
ait. ' which the bridal party, with
quit*-* a number of friends, went to
(he Georgia Railroad depot where
thn bride "and groom took the 6:50
train for a trip to Lookout Mottn
i tain and other points in Tennessee;
not, however, before receiving the
good byes, etc , of friends along
with showers of rice as the train
moved off, thus ending a wedding
of more than common interest.
Miss Evans, as is well known,
is an only daughter and a talented
musician, both in vocal and in¬
strumental lines, and Mr. Good¬
year is an alumnus <4 Emory Col¬
lege with the decrees ot B. A. and
M. A. from this school, and was
elected last year to a Professorship
in Emory College as Adjunct Pro¬
fessor of Languages, also Director
of the Department of Athletics in
that institution. He has just re¬
turned from a course of study at
Harvard University to further fit
himself for his duties in Emory.
We bespeak for this young
couple a long, happy and useful
life. £***

About The Extra Session.
The ever-thoughtful Constitu¬
tion carries on its editorial page
Tuesday morning a harangue
against Governor Smith, which is
taken from The Augusta Chronicle
and duly credited to that paper."
The Chronicle says that Gover¬
nor Smith is responsible for the
extra session and that it will tiost
the state of Georgia not less than
$20,000, and probably more than
that; it further declares that this
expenditure will be due to the
governor’s « ( playing politics » J
—very bad politics, the Chronicle
so knowingly adds.
To those people of the state who
are interested in The Chronicle’s
statement, The Georgian wishes
to give its opinion.
Governor Smith is responsible
for the extra sesson it will certainly
not cost less than $20,000, and it
Is perhaps the finest act of his pub¬
lic life. If the convict problem is
*
settled wisely—and that is the end
for which the extra session is call¬
ed—the state of Georgia will in
one year make back that $20,000
and $40,000 more, and will hav»
abolished a disgrace that sears the
soul of every self respecting and*
patriotic citizen.. The convict
broker—who has made his hun¬
dreds of thousands—will be denied
his blood mondy, and honesty aud
humanity will be given a chance.
The Georgian is unable to say
whether or not Governor Smith
was “playing polities”—as The
Chronicle charges—in lending the
force of his office and of his
personality to the movement for
convict reform. But pven if he
was “playing polities,” he is to be
congratulated on his wisdom in
knowing that the criticism whieh
was sure to follow his calling the
extra session would fall on heedless
ears.
Doing right is the main thing with
the people. They do not analyze
motives.—The Atlanta Georgian.

A Freak of the Lightning.
A curious case of lightning destruc¬
tion took place some years ago at Gat¬
china, an imperial summer residence
not far from St. Petersburg, where
stood a stone column fifty feet high,
held together by iron angles. When
rain fell more or less water penetrated
the stones in the interior of the monu¬
ment. One day it was struck by light¬
ning,' and instantly the column disap¬
peared from view, killing a lone sen¬
try on guard. The only explanation is
that the heat of the lightning instant¬
ly generated steam on coming in con¬
tact with some of the water and the
terrific explosion followed.

ANIMAL LEGENDS.
The Buzz of ths Mosquito and th*
Swallow's Forked Tail.
In Palestine, where several religions
exi&t side by side, legends h ■ crossed
and intermingled in such a us to
make a distinct folklore. A tv Uectioj
of stories from “Folklore In t! ■ Iloly
Land,” by the ltev. J. L. ju*~nauer.
contains many Bible legends in new
forms and with humorous additions.
One explains how the mosquito cams
to buzz and why the swallow's tail is
forked.
After the fall of man the serpent
missed the reward which the evil one
had promised him—namely, the sweet¬
est food in the world. An angel was
appointed to assign to every creature
his food and dwelling place. The ser¬
pent asked for human iiesh. Bur Adam
protested and pointed out ; lire welly
that as nobody had ever tasted human
flesh it was impossible to uminraia
that it was the most lusef us of food.
Thus he gained a year’s respite for the
race.
Meanwhile the mosquito was sent
round the world with instru rior.s to
taste and report upon the b!o d of ev¬
ery living creature. At the end of
twelve months it was to report in open
court the result of its rescan hes.
Now, Adam had a friend i.i that sa¬
cred bird the swallow, which annually
makes a pilgrimage to Me. <m and a.i
holy places. This bird shadowed the
mosquito all the twelve months until
the day of the decision. Then a.s the
insect was on its way to the court the
swallow met it openly and asked what
flesh and blood it had found sweetest.
“Man’s,” replied the mosquito.
“What?” asked the swallow. “Please
say it again, for I am rather deaf.”
On this the mosquito opened its
mouth wide to shout, and the swallow
darted in its bill and plucked out the
insect’s tongue.
They then proceeded to the court,
where all living creatures were assem¬
bled to hear the decision. On being
asked the outcome of its investigation
the mosquito, which could now only
buzz, was unable to make itself under¬
stood, and the swallow, pretending to
be its spokesman, declared that the
insect had said that it had found the
blood of the frog the most delicious.
Sentence was therefore given that
frogs, not men, should be the serpent’s
food. »
In its -rage and disappointment the
serpent darted forward to destroy the
swallow. But the bird was too quick;
the serpent succeeded only in biting
some feathers out of the middle of the
swallow’s tail.
This is why swallows have forked
tails.
EASY PHYSICAL CULTURE.
Hew One May Promote Good Health
Without Expense.
First of all, there is the sensible use
of the odd moments of the day. For
example, I must go out to my work ia
the city; I must get up from my chair
after or at intervals during my work; I
must go upstairs. Here are the oppor¬
tunities:
During the wash I can rub myself
well ail over my skin. Having used
the warm water and soap and warm
water again, I can dip my hands iu
cold water and then give my skin a
capital friction with the palms of my
hands. This will afford excellent ex¬
ercise for the arms and shoulders aud.
when I stoop, for the trunk muscles.
It will clean me, will help to harden
and invigorate me and will make my
hands and my whole body glow de¬
lightfully. It will need scarcely any
extra time.
When I go out into the street, and
indeed whenever I go out. I can take
two extra deep and full breaths of
fresh air in through the nostrils. And
I can repeat this wonderfully healthy
practice whenever I wait at a crossing,
whenever I wait at all, and just before
I go into any building from the street,
and also before any important work
or interview, and, of course, the first
thing in the morning and the last thing
at night Here there Is not one mo¬
there ment ia of^ectra much time effective demanded, but but
so euy
physical culture Jthft at the end of a
year the improvement in the breathing
capacity, the endurance, the’ vigor, the
complexion and even alm&et In the control of
the temper may be beyond be¬
lief. And, beet of alt, the automatic
habit of fuller aud rhythmical
inhalations may h% firmly flxad.—
