Engineexs To Start
Work on Power Line
Engineers for the Georgia-
Alabama Power Company ar
rived in Leesburg today and will
start at once to survey the Power
line from here to Americus.
From what information we are
able to gather the line will go by
way of Smithyille which will be
good news to the people of-that
thriving little city and when the
connection is made they will
have the same seryice that of
Albany, Americus, [.eeshurg and
the other towns will have with
the Power Company. This new
line will give Leesburg a much
larger per cent of power and will\
also be a good inducement to
manufacturing enterprises as
there will be power available to
run any size manufacturing in
dustry.

JOHNSON - KIRKPATKICK
The story of love never grows
old, especially if it is entwined
with a golden thread of remance,
as was the case with Miss Rubye
Johnson, and Mr. Theadore Kline
Kirkpatrick, both of this place,
who were married here on last
Sunday evening, the news of
which came as a surprise to their
many friends. :
Miss Johnson is beautiful
and accomplished: young lady
and is the daughter of-our towns
people, Mr. and Mrs. J. M.
Johnson, and had met M®. Kirk
patrick about a year ago, soon
after he had moved to this place
from Alabama, and between
whom a mutual love had devel
oped that led them on through
the alluring path of romantic
love that but culminates into a
broader understanding at the
marriage alter. :
The marriage ceremeny was
performed by Rev.J. H. Wyatt,
pastor of the Baptist church,
with but a few friends as wit
nesses, and though the parents
had not keen apprised of its con
summation, ic was expected that
it would take place at a later
date with their full sanction,
their only objection to it at this
time being the vouth of Miss
Johnson.
Miss John is a native of hete,
one of the most beautiful girls of
the younger set, is endowed
with superior talents that have
been developed to a fulness that
makes her perfectly adapted for
wifehood with all the traits that
are desirable in noble women.
Mr. Kirkpatrick is popular
with all who know him and is
possessed of a personality that
places him on higher pinnacle of
regard with his fellows who
know him best.
