Fate deals the cards—the spades, the clubs and hearts,
The diamonds—counting out the legal hand;
None may exchange, though, seeing, there departs.
All hope of what we hoped to play—and planned.
Some hold but scattered suit, while others smile
O er richer draw, which means that they shall win;
But F ate, unheeding, shuffles all the while.
Since every moment new games musw

Count carefully the points they may secure,
Bid up, ofttimes, though serious doubt be felt—
%For in this game of chance no bet is sure;
Unnumbered souk are sickening day by day,
Because of tricks caught up by those expert,
Because another, though a mere chance

MARGARET HURST PARNELL
A sweet, gentle life, one consecrated
to God, to service, to her loved ones
and to all in her sphere, p ssed quiet
ly and peacefully unti hte Great Be
yond with the closing of a Sabbath
day, Sunday, February 10th, 1924.
Mrs. Margaret Hurst Parnell was
the daughter of George W. and Mar
garet Coutte u Hurst both of whom
and their ferbears for many years
were honored and most substantial
people of this section of Georgia.
Mrs. Parnell received the best of
training in her youth and in her early
young womanhood consecrated her
life to the serivee of her G d. Sue
was a member of Bethlehem Bant’st
chuhch until her removal to Waynes
boro about four years ago.
She was married to Leonidas Par
nell, who soon afterwards died, leav
ing her with three chlidren. In her
young womanhcod an unfortunate ac
cident befell her, leaving her dis
abled and crippled for life.
The many years of her suffering and
disability did not embitter her, and as
the fast approaching years grew upon
her, her life became sweeter, her
faith stronger and her resignation
emboldened by a divine belief in the
providen e and care of her God.
She was not schooled or trained in
the phil: sophies of life or legion but
she had solved them all in her devout
consecration and service to Go l and
her fellowman; for she was kind,
she was gentle, she was tolerant and
saintly and uncomplaining. Her beau
tiful and saintly life will live as a
benediction to those who loved and
revered her; she emphasized through
these seventy-eight years the best and
most lasting things by her character
and example.
The funeral was from the home of
her daughter, Mrs. Horace Odom. Ser
vices were conducted by Rev. John
Page Jones, of the Baptist church.
Mrs. Parnell leaves two children,
Mr. Colquitt Parnell and Mrs. Odom,
four grandchildren, and two sisters,
Mrs. Joe Chandler, of Waynesboro and
Mrs. John Bargeron, cf Sardis.
She was laid to rest by the side of
her husband in the Old Cemetery,
and those who bore her body were
six of her nephews, Mr. R. C. Hurst,
Mr. T. J. Hurst, Mr. Charlie Hurst, Mr.
Edgar Bargeron. Mr. Bob Bargeron
and Mr. Meticus Bargeron.
Model Wedding
Report Gives
Groom Raise
Morgan Blake, well-known sport
writer of the Atlanta Journal, has
evolved a model wedding report which
he has filled in according to Hoyle:
Press and Standard, a well-konwn
publication, in ‘an attempt to raise
the brigderoom from the deep oblivion
which has enveloped him at his own
wdding.” has circulated a model foi
weduing writeups during leap year.
Blanks are left for the substitution
of the names of the parties. We here
by print the model, using the name of
Mr. Weyman Wilkins prominent At
lanta sheik, who will probably marry
tms year, lor the groom.
“Mr. Weyman Wilkins, son of Mr.
and Mrs. J. T. Wilkins, of 638 East
North avenue, becomes the bridegroom
of Miss Equal Wrights at high noon
today. The ceremony took place at
the home of the groom’s parents and
was largely attended.
“Mr. Wilkins was attended by Mr.
Dubb as groomsman. As the groom
approached the altar he was the
cynosure of all eyes. He was charm
ingly clad in a three-piece suit, con
sisting of a: coat, vest and pants. The
coat of dark materi-il, was draped
about the shoulders and tastefully
gathered under the arms. A pretty
story was current among the wedding
guests that the coat was the same
worn by his father snd grandfather on
their wedding days. The vest was
sleevless and met in front. It was
gracefully fashioned with pcckets and
at the back held together with strap
and buckle. Conspicuous on the front
of the vest was the groom’s favorite
piece of jewelry, a Scottish Rites’ pin,
and from the upper left pocket was
suspended a large Ingersoll watch,
the bride’s gift to the grcom, which
flashed and gave the needed touch of
brilliance to a costume in perfect taste
and harmony.
“The groom’s pants were of same
dark worsted, and were suspended
from the waist, falling in a straight
line almost to the floor. The severe
simplicity of the garment was relieved
by the right pantlet, which was caught
up about four in lies by a Boston- j
Brighton worn underneath revealing
just the artistic plimpse of brcwn
holeproof hosiery above the genu ne
leather shoes, laced with strings of
the same color. The effect was rath
er chic.
“His neck w°s encircled with a col
lar, and around the cellar a cravat was
was loosely knotted so that it rede up
under his left ear with that studied
cariessness which marks supreme ar
tistry in dress.
“Mr. Dubb’s costume was essential
ly like the groom’s and ss the two
stood at the altar a hush of admira
tion enveloped the audience of the
complete and wonderful harmeny of
the raiment. Neither Mr. Wilkins nor
Mr. Dubb wore a hat at the ceremony.
“As Miss Wrights led her groom
from the nuptials it was noted that
she wore the conventional veil and
orange blossoms/’
