Carswell-Wright.
Gordon, Ga. Get. 13—A beautiful
marriage was that of Miss Frances
Elizabeth Carswell to Mr. Bennie Lee
Wright, of Covington, Ga., which
took place Oct. 13, at high noon at
First Baptist church. The house was
beautifully decorated for the occasion
and the marriage was witnessed by a
large number of friends and relatives.
The bride entered on the arm of
her brother, Robert H. Carswell, who
presented her to the groom. The
bridal party was composed of S. R.
Owens and J. W. Willingham, ushers;
Mr. B. B. Wright, brother of the
groom, best man; Miss Mattie Mell
Wright, sister of the groom, maid of
honor; Misses Leila E. Curry and Pat
tie Edwards, brides maids; Messrs.
G. F. Carswell and R. W. Lee grooms¬
men. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. J. L. Claxton. The party
left immediately for Covington where

groom’s parents. The wedding party
was delightfully entertained at a 10:30
a. m., luncheon, by Mr. and Mrs. G.
B. Carswell, parents of the bride.

fin, Messrs. G. F. Carswell C. R. Cars¬
well and R. W. Lee, of Macon, Mrs.
E. L. Carswell and little son, Wil¬
liam, of Americus.
The Compass.
The Chinese seem to have used the
compass or its equivalent at a very
early date to guide them in their jour¬
neys across the vast plains of Tartary.
They made little images, whose arms,
moved by a freely suspended magnet,
pointed continually toward the pole.
An apparatus of this kind was pre¬
sented to ambassadors from Cochin
China to guide them in their home¬
ward journey some 1,100 years before
our era. The knowledge thus pos¬
sessed seems to have gradually trav¬
eled westward by means of the Arabs,
though it was fully 2,000 years after¬
ward before it was fairly applied
among the peoples of western Europe.

Traps In French.
A frequent trap in French for the
unwary is the difference of meaning
in similar phrases. For example,
“faire feu" means to fire a gun, while
“faire du feu” means to light a fire;
“tomber par terre” conveys the idea
of falling to the ground from one’s
own height, whereas “tomber a terre"
means to fall from any he.glit-ln
other words, to tumble down and to
tumble off. In the same way “traiter
de fat” means to call a man a fop
and “traiter en roi” to treat him like
a king. The English word “bore”
may be expressed in two ways—“un
raseur” gives the idea of an active
bore and “une bassinoire” of a pas
slve bore.—London Saturday Reviov
All Profit.
“No use of talking,” drawled the
freckled youth on the roadside fence,
“thar certainly is a lot of money in
cattle.”
“In the stock raising business, young
man?” asked the tourist.
“No, not exactly, but an automobile
ran over that spotted calf a few min¬
utes ago, and the man with the big
spectacles over bis eyes got out and
handed be a five dollar note.”
“Five dollars? That’s not so much
for a good sized calf.”
“Yes, but, mister, the calf wasn’t
mine. Now. if I can only staud in
front of another calf while he gets run
over I’ll be right in it, be gosb.”-Chi
cago News.
Millionaire Before He Was Twerty-one
The arch prospector of all times was
Cecil Rhodes. When lie was seventeen
he had been touched with tuberculosis
and ordered south. Arriving at his
brother Herbert’s cotton plantation in
Africa in the midst of the second dia¬
mond excitement, he. with Herbert,
was drawn into the “new rush.” They
took a claim at Colesburg at 30 shil¬
lings a month rental. In a few weeks
each leased a full claim, all the law
allowed. Cecil Rhodes set himself to
get the law to allow one man to
own two claims, then ten aud then as
many as he could lay hold of. So well
did Rhodes keep pace with changing
regulations that he returned to Eng¬
land at nineteen a millionaire! -Frank¬
lin Clark in in Everybody’s.
