THE COVINGTON NEW*.
Maddox-Parr.
A pretty home wedding of Sunday
afternoon was that of Mr. Guy Noel
I Parr and Miss Bertice Fay Maddox,
which took place at the beautiful
J country home of the bride’s par¬
ents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Maddox,
ot Magnet. The house was beauti¬
fully decorated in palms, ferns and
cut flowers. The bride and groom
stood under an improvised altar of
southern smilax and lillles of the
valley, from which hung a huge wed¬
ding bell of smilax and carnations.
The sweet and impresssive ceremony
was performed by Rev. E. R. Pendle¬
ton of this city. Mendelssohn’s wed¬
ding march was beautifully rendered
by the groom's cousin, Mrs. L. D.
King, of Atlanta.
The bride’s gown was a meussaline
satin, trimmed in real lace, her only
ornament being a handsome dia¬
mond broach, the gift of the groom.
The bride s a very popular young
lady and has won a host of friends
by her charming manner and lova¬
ble* disposition. The groom is a pop¬
ular young man and has a large cir¬
cle* of friends to welcome* his lovely
bride. Among the out of town guests
were Mr. and Mrs. 1. D. Briaendine,
Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Smith, Miss Ruth
Brisendine, of Covington; Mr. and
Mrs. L. D. King, of Atlanta, and Dr.
Watson, of Conyers.
Many and handsome were the
presents which were displayed in
the living room, on a handsomely
curved table, the gift of the* bride’s
uncle, Mr. Jim Maddox.
Immediately after the ceremony
this merry party loft for Covington
in the handsome touring car of Mr.
H. M. Watson, where a splendid re¬
ception was tendered them at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. I. D. Bris¬
endine. This young couple has the
best wishes of their many friends
in the surrounding counties.
Mr. and Mrs. Parr will reside at
the home of the groom’s mother,
Mrs. R. O. King.
Nearly Fifty New Corporations.
The Georgia and Alabama Indus¬
trial Index, published at Columbus,
Qa., says in its regular weekly issue:
“Into the business arteries of Geor¬
gia and Alabama was infused during
the past week the new’ blood of nearly
a half-hundred corporations. The new
companies chartered during the past
week were 44 in number, to be exact,
and they have a combined minimum
capital stock of $1,927,000, They
represent many phases of commerce,
industry and general development,
and well reflect the great business
activity in almost all lines throughout
the two states.
“An Atlanta, Ga., company will en¬
gage at once in the manufacture of
automobiles, including all the parts,
and an Augusta, Ga., company was
chartered for the same purpose. A
company was formed with $100,000
capital to grow apples in Habersham
county, Georgia, and another orchards
company, with $00,000 capital stock,
was chartered to operate in the same
county.
“At Mobile, Ala., contract was
awarded by a railroad company for
the construction of docks at a cost oi
$100,000. Bids are being invited for
the construction of a railroad from
Irwinton, Ga., to McIntyre, Ga., A
new fertilizer facB iy is announced for
Montezuma, Ga., a $30,000 brick
company for Savannah, Ga., and a
$ 200,000 power company for Dallas,
Ga.”
Fats of the Great auk.
The great auk, a northern divlnj
bird, used to exist in the. arctic region;
also. Now, this splendid bird was se
rionsly handicapped by the fact that
it laid only one egg in a season an<
so could not afford to be slaughtered
at nil. But it was hunted and sho:
without discrimination. A few stir
viviug hundreds took refuge on a des
olate rock far out to sea. but one fata 1
day a vessel contrived to land on thi*
rock, and the crew* shot nearly the eu
tire rookery. Finally nature herself
rose up. There was a cataclysm, the
rook sauk Into the sea. and that was
the last of the great auk.
The Gobelin Fectory.
The gobelin factory was founded in
1545 by Francis 1., who scoured Eu
roj>e for the artists and the makers of
beautiful things who could bring lus¬
ter to the capital of France. Under
his auspices came Leonardo dn Vinci,
and he it was who laid the foundations
for the collections of statuary and
paintings that have made I’aris fa¬
mous. The gobelin tapestry factory
was among the least of his undertak¬
ings.
Naming the Baby.
“Have you named the baby?” asked
the admiring neighbor.
“Not yet." said the proud young
mother. “We’re going to christen him
j Sunday." “Dear me! What
an odd name! I’d
| almost ns soon call him after Robinson
Crusoe’s man Friday aud be done with
j it-’’—Chicago Tribune.
Firmness.
“When my wife makes up her mind.”
said Mr. Meekton, “there is uo use ol
arguing with her."
“Rut every wotuau ctanges her opto-
1 ion sometimes."
“Yes. Aud Henrietta is particularly
resolute when she makes up her uiiud
to change her opinion"

They Figured In an Amusing Case of
Mistaken Identity.
It may be doubted N there ever oc¬
curred a more amusing Instance of
mistaken identity than that afforded
by Theodore Hook, the English humor¬
ist of his time, and it all came about
through a pair of boots. Hook was
traveling along the south coast of Eng¬
land and arrived in the course of his
Journey at Dover.
Alighting at the Ship hotel he chang¬
ed his boots, ordered a slight dinner
and went out for a stroll through the
town. Returning at the appointed
time, he was surprised to find the
whole establishment in confusion. A
crowd had collected outside the door
The master of the house was standing
at the foot of the stairs with two can¬
dles in his hands, and on Theodore’s
entrance he walked backward before
him and conducted him Into the prin¬
cipal saloon, where all the waiters
were standing and a magnificent re¬
past had been provided. The wit was
much amused at the dignity to which
he had been promoted, but, being an
easy going fellow, made no scruples
and, sitting down, did full justice to
what was set before him. Next day
he signified his intention of departing
and ordered a coach, when, to his as¬
tonishment, a carriage and four drove
up to convey him to his destination.
He inquired with some apprehension
what he was to pay for all this gran¬
deur and was no less astonished than
gratified on receiving the answer.
"Nothing whatever, your royal high¬
ness.” He was never more thoroughly
mystified, but the next night, on tak¬
ing off his boots, which he had bought
ready made just before he went to
Dover, he found “H. S H. the Prince
of Orange" written inside them. They
had beeu originally made for the
prince, who was then In England suing
for the hand of Princess Charlotte,
and notice had been given that all bis
expenses while In the country should
be set down to the charge of the gov¬
ernment.—Minneapolis News.
His Little Pun.
An inveterate wit and punster asked
the captain of a craft loaded with
boards how he managed to get dinner
on the passage.
“Why,” replied the skipper, “we al¬
ways cook aboard.”
“Cook a board, do you?” rejoiued the
wag. “Then 1 see you have been well
| provided with provisions this trip, at
all events.”—London Graphic.
Hoot Awa‘, Mon.
An English clergyman, talking one
day with a Scottish brother of the
cloth, remark I'd facetiously, “Well,
David, I believe, after all has been
said, that my head could hold two ot
yours.”
“Mon," returned the other, with
ready wit, “I never toeht before that
your head was sae empty.”—Boston
