WEDDING OF INTEREST.
A wedding of more than usual in
terest here was that of Miss Florine
Hardwick, of Cedartown, and Mr. Rob
ert Livingston Smith, Lieutenant U. S.
R. which was solemnized Saturday af
ternoon in New'Work. The ceremony
was performed at St. Thomas church
at four o'clock and was witnessed by
the members of the family connected
and a few close friends. The marriage
of this popular Georgia girl is the out
come of a pretty romance, the acquain
tance of the young couple having been
made during a visit of Miss Hardwick
to Texas where Lieutenant Smith who
is from Indiana was engaged in active
service on the border.
BORROWED TUNES.
Everyone knows, of course, that the
music of “America” is the music of
the English national hymn, “God Save
the King.” It is known also that the
tune of “Yankee Doodle” came from
somewhere in the British Isles. ' The
music of “The Star Spangled Banner"
is said to be German; certainly iLisn't
of American origin. And now we find
that ‘‘Marching Through Georgia,’’
whose Americanism was never before
questioned, is really a bit of Russian
folk music.
The story goes that when General
Sherman was making a. tour of the
world, one of the countries that treated
him with distinguished honor was Rus
sia. One afternoon in Moscow he lay
down to snatch a few minutes'’ rest. He
was aroused by the strains of martial
music, and could hardly credit his ears
•w hen they told hm the band was play
ing ‘Marching Through Georgia.’ But
that was the tune, and the leader of
the famous trip front Atlanta to the sea
naturally tho’ught that this w'as addi
tional courtesy that the authorities
were showing him. He sprang to his
veranda, and stood at attention while
the band and a long line of soldiers
marched past. But neither the leader
of the band, nor the bandsmen, nor
the commander of the troops nor any
soldier in line acknowledged his pres
ence nor gave him so much as a look.
Somewhat perplexed, General Sherman
hurried to the office. ‘What was the
cause of the parade?’ he asked. ‘Oh
a regiment returning jo the batrack,’
was the answer. ‘And the land? Do
you know the tune it was playing?’
'Very well,’ said the clerk; ’that 1s cue
of our oldest folk-songs.' “
But here in the South most of its
wouldn’t know ■ Marching Through
Georgia” if we heard it. Asa matter
of fact it has never attained distinctive
popularity in the South. So if Russia
claims it the vote will be unanimous.—

ORIGIN OF ‘SAMMIES.'’
1
“It was not because of Unde Sana;
that the French/people called our men.
Sammies. Our lads thought so, and
laughed and like it; but the eager
French heart, warm with gratitude,
sent out this cry ‘Les Amis! Les Am to!
The rapid, elided French was inter
preted ‘Sammies’ by the unaccustomed
American ears, and there may be many
■a soldier yet ignorant of the how and
why he has his new nickname. *
“Les Amis! Les Amis! —the world
oer the water is calling it to the
world across—and lvow can we home
tied mothers and teachers and wive*
cry back with help for their heart*?
It. the older days when good folk went
to fair® and marketing, some one had
to be left behind at home ‘to stay by
the stuff,’ to watch the farm and feed
the stock and do the weary chores
Here in America there is so much Rtufth
and so many of us must be home to
stay by it!" —Southern Woman’s Mag
