Brilliant Wedding in Senoia.
Sen'-in Kr.ier|.ri«f*-t!»r.ette. 10th Inat.
A wt -tiding of much interest to the
many friends of the contracting parties
was solemnized Wednesday evening at
8 o’clock at the handsome home of Mr.
and Mrs. and l.ee Hand, in this city,
when their lovely daughter. Lena, was j
happily married to Mr. Harry W. Cal-1
laway, of LaCirange. The gpacious
lawn was brilliantly lighted with Japa
nese lanterns, and was seated with
rustic benches and chairs for the guests.
The wide j>orch was decorated with
Wandering Jew, moss stars and trailing
vines. Those who assisted in receiving
the guests were Mrs. C. C. McKnight,
Mrs. Leroy Mann, Mrs. Grace Row,
Mrs. R. E. McKnight. Mrs. Nixon Ar-
nall, Mrs. R. W. Freeman. Mrs. J. D.

a bower of beauty with masses of
ferns, srnilax, pink carnations and large
clusters of Dorothy Pei kins pink roses.
As the guests entered they were served
punch by Misses Emily Arnall and Sa
rah Hall on the side porch, and Misses
Annie Belle Hutchinson and Edith Cul
pepper at the main entrance. In the
reception linll the piano was placed be
neath the brolid s l.tirway, which was a
mass of srnilax, twined in wreaths of
pink and white roses. On the pewel-
pnsts were lighted tapers in silver can
delabra. Mrs. W. F. Culpepper presided
at the piano, accompanied on the violin
by Master Philip Power. Miss Opal
McKnight sang "Because." Promptly
at the appointed hour the sweet notes
of Mondelsqohn'H "Wedding March"
pealed forth and the bridul party de
scended the stairs through uislea of
white ribbon carried by Masters Lee
Hand and Callaway Allen. Elizabeth
Lindsey and Bessie Callaway were the
flower girls. Next came Master Pierce
Lindsey bearing the ring on a white sat
in cushion.

was gowned in pink tulle over pink silk
taffeta, with silver trimmings; Miss Hel
en McCrary wore point lace over a soft
pink sutin, with pearl trimmings and
tulle drapery; Miss Grace Jones wore
Georgette crepe over silk taffeta, with
dainty trimmings; Miss Ella Mue Free

Banks Callaway and J. D. leaver, of

Callaway. The pretty bride entered
with her mother, Mrs. Lee Hand, and
stood in front.of an improvised altar of
ferns, srnilax and clusters of pink car
nations, the baauty of the scene being
enhanced by cathedral candles in crys
tal candlesticks. Here Rev. J, H.
Cowart stood qnd in u very solemn and
impressive manner performed the cere
mony that made them man and wife,
during which time the "Flower Song"
was played.
The bride was elaborately gowned in
a white silk crepe meteor, with a crush -
able satin belt, the lace tunic in front
being fastened with orange blossoms
am) bows of seed pearls. The back was
made (coat effect) of lace, and a long
train fell gracefully from the shoul
ders. The veil,was of soft maline, with
sprays of orange blossoms. The bou
quet was valley lillios.
The bride presented her maids with
a friendship bracelet, with the names
of the bridal party and date of the
wedding engraved thereon. Misses An
nie Hooten and Ruby Hodnett kept the
.bride's book.
In the elegantly appointed dining-
axiom an elaborate salad course was
served. The table was covered with an
exquisite white satin cloth edged in
•cluny lace, the center-piece being a
<vase of pink carnations.
tin the library was a collection of the
handsomest wedding gifts ever pre
sented a couple in our city.
The traveling suit of the bride was a
recede silk poplin coat suit, with a soft
pink pilk blouse, hat and gloves to
match.

The Merchant and the Community.
The small country merchant is a
necessity, and that which is necessary
should be protected. The community
needs the community cash.
Hut not every small town merchant
is alive to his obligations and his op
portunities.
Many of them fall by the wayside be
cause of their ignorance of or indiffer
ence to the rights of the public.
Fifty years ago the town merchant
sat in bis store and waited for business
to come to him.
To-day the successful merchant is a
hunter. He must go out cunning for
customers. His ammunition is his
stock in trade, and his gun is the local
newspaper.
Country people of to-day are as in
telligent and up-to-date as their city
cousins, and they gauge the merchant
by his actions.
If he is a hustler—if he keeps his
store clean, his goods neatly % displayed,
his advertisements running regularly in
the paper—he attracts the public eye,
and the public fol.ows its eye.
But clean, neatly displayed goods and
newspaper advertising are not the only
requisites to a successful mercantile
career.
The country merchant should not
bank too much on the fact that he is
a necessity.
He should be progressive—constantly
bidding for trade —devising means of
bettering the conditions of his custo
mers, and acquainting them of the
fact. He should consider their welfare
as well as his own.
The merchant should have one iron
creed, and that creed should never be
broken: He should treat all customers
alike, never misrepresent his goods,
and keep his shelves well stocked with
truthful bargains.
He should be considerate of other busi
ness men in the community, for their
rights are as great us his own. They
do not own the town, and neither does
he.
He should join whole-heartedly in
movements for building up and ex
panding the business interests of the
community, for success is only found on
the topmost round of the ladder.
The merchant who hus built up a
reputation as a public-spirited man,
as one who labors for the well-being of
the whole community, never lacks for
customers at his store.
They migrate toward hia door as
naturally us the birds fly south in win
ter.
Such merchants gain the confidence
of the people, for the people know that
the same intelligence and fair-minded
ness which he expects in behalf of the
community will be extended to his cus.
tomers in commercial life. Most coun
try towns have a few such merchants
in their midst, and the community is
better off for their presence.
Y'ou invariably find their advertise-',
merits in the local paper, telling of the
merits of the wares they have to sell,
and giving the people the information
they are clearly entitled to.
Such business men are successful be
cause their methods of business aqd
their very attitude breathe success.
They have many customers, because
the people admire a hustler.
This town is located in a splendid
community, and it should have a bright
future ahead of it.
But it depends upon us alone.
We have some good business men in
the town.
They are well supplied with brains,
and those brains are capable of ac
complishing great results.
Individually they can do much, but
collectively they can revolutionize
trading conditions in the community.
The money that is being daily sent
away for goods might just as well be
spent at our local stores—and would be
if the merchant arose to the opportu
nities before him.
It is the easiest thing in the world to
keep the money at home, for consumers
are not fools.
Just keep the goods the people want
and the quality they want.
Sell these goods at a fair margin of
profit, thereby competing in quality and
price with the outsider.
Then advertise persistently — keep
the home goods constantly in the mind
of the customer—awaken him to the
fact that it is as much to his interest
as yours to keep his money in circula
tion at home.
When you convince the consumer
that you have the goods that he wants,
and that they can be purchased here
just as cheaply as elsewhere, he will
leave his money at home by trading
with the home merchant.
The people want a live merchant in
the community, and are willing to sup
port his business.
Who is in the live class? Speak up.
gentlemen—speak up!
“Treachery Unspeakable.”
LouUvt-le Courier-Jourr.al.
Tne (’resident’s note, along with its
probable reach and fate, takes for ti e
moment second place hy the side of the
fathering of the whilom Secretary of
State.
Mr Wilson merely reiterated the case
of the United States against Germany,
supplying certain required particulars,
and repeating the former plea, rather
tnan demand, in behalf of established
u-age laid in humanity and law. Ob
serving that it contains nothing which
sh. uld jjstie imperial sensibilities, or
ruffle any reasonable temper, we may
rest upon it with approval and wait
with patience the response from Berlin.
The action and utterances of Mr. pry-
an may not be so dismissed.
Men have been shot and beheaded,
even hanged, drawn and quartered, for
treason less heinous. The recent Sec
retary of State commits not merely
treason to the country at a critical mo
ment. but treachery to his party and
its official head. Whatever his motive,
whether political or mercenary, it
leaves him altogether indefensible and
igroble.
Y et it is wholly characteristic. Un
feeling and disloyal by nature, inordi
nately selfish, avaricious, egotistical,
without any sense of the true relations
of life and duty, or decent regard for
the fitness of things, this commonplace
person by force partly of assertion and
partly of circumstance gained the front
of the stage, and has contrived to re
tain his place there against delinquen
cies the like of which have submerged
many a better man.
There was, for example, Benedict
Arnold, and, not infrequently, though
without sufficient warrant, we find Aa
ron Burr put in the same category. We
recall that Mr. Clay was sometimes ta
ken to task for his card playing and
Mr. Webster for his drinking, albeit
neither was lacking either in personal
or official decorum. Mr. Bryan neither
tipples nor gambles, but he possesses a
genius for misbehavior and the unbe
coming.
Going no farther back than the Ben
nett will case, when he entered into lit
igation with a widow for a share in an
estate to which he had no claim, and w is
duly, properly and lawfully thrown out
of court, and coming down to the last
National Democratic Convention, when,
to make a deadlock and secure his own
nomination, he betrayed both his friend
and his instructions, we find nothing in
the career of Mr. Bryan to respect or
admire.
He is one of the very few of our pub
lic men who have grown rich as an un
successful candidate for office. He has
capitalized defeat and made an asset of
pretension. Even Mr. Roosevelt has
taken "righteousness" for his trade
mark, and worked it for more than its
value, but Mr. Bryan has exploited his
“ideals” in quest of sure and big gate-
money. Primarily this latter is the-key
to his present proceeding. It is trans
parently a trick of the showman. Nor
shall we have done of it until the full
measure of sensational advertising has
been achieved and all possible dates, at
increased figures, are filled, even to the
last syllable of the Chautauqua circuits.
It is problematical whether Mr. Bry
an can think that after this he may
have any political future. That he
might take the field next year against
Mr. Wilson is consonant enough, alike
with his ill-judging and colossal vanity.
But; ontside.the narrow range of his
self-conceit, the idea is preposterous.
■> The destiny of- the Democratic party
for good or ill is inextricably bound up
in the Wilson administration. The party
could not escape it if it would. But it
will not seek to eseape it. It must and
will stand by it.
On the issue raised as to Mr. Bry
an, however, there can be but two
intelligent opinions. The country is
overwhelmingly with the President
and everlastingly against his re
cent Secretary of. State. If all the
cranks who roam at larae could be
gathered and united into one body they
would not constitute anywhere ap
proaching a majority of the people.
They cannot be corralled. The Kaiser-
Americans and the Prohibitionists would
find it hard to dock together, whilst the
Peace-at-any-price people and the Wo
man Suffrage people are already hair
splitting betwixt tweedle-dum and
tweedle-dee. Hence we may hold po
litical speculation, like Wall Street
"pointers" and “tips" on horse-racing,
as augmenting their absurdity the surer
they are.
Mr. Bryan sees the main chance quite
as clearly as Mr. Pecksniff was wont to
see it:
» ‘His name is Crummy.
And ho wants money.”
That is the sum of it. With the mind
of a Barnum and the soul of a Tittlebat
Titmouse he waited for the opportune
moment, and when it arrived he struck,
wantonly and shamelessly. Already
the summer shows pant for him. The
circus tents flap for him. His treason
to his country and his chief will be
worth quite an hundred thousand dol
lars, cash in hand. We shall see wheth
er he will throw away any of this mon
ey on a fool campaign for the Pres
idency next year.

NEWS OF AUGUSTA. I
Nervous and in Danger of Falling.
Augusta, Ga. — Your 1 Favorite Pre
scription ' certainly is entitled to all
that you claim for it as a tonic and
builder and for troubles peculiar to my
sex. I was in a terrible condition with
my nerves, would get so nervous that
I was in danger of falling and I had |
to lie down often for an entire day. !
My digestion was very poor, everything 1
I ate disagreed with me and gave me
discomfort, and not getting sufficient
nourishment I rapidly lost flesh and
went down from 155 to 9S pounds. To
make my condition worse, the nervous
state would liot let me sleep at night.
I also had female trouble. I can say
sincerely that five bottles of the ‘ Fa
vorite Prescription' effected a com
plete cure. I soon gained strength and
weight and have had good health
ever since.” — Mrs. YV. T. Walton, 63d

Printing the News to Suit Every
body.
National, News Bureau.
We of ten hear some thoughtless fel
low say, "If I was running a paper I
would print the news. I don’t care
who it might hit. If they don’t want
to get into the paper, let them keep out
of trouble.”
We remember one particular instance
in which a similar remark war made.
We had, through the pleadings of an
old mother and a tearful sister,
"killed” a good story concerning the
escapade of a rather worthless young
fellow. But to his mother and sister
he was not worthless, and they pre
vailed upon us not to print the item
which would disgrace them forever.
And we did not print it.
So we were accused of cowardice by
this critic, and were told that we did
not know how to run a paper.
In vain we tried to explain that mrny
things besides our own personal likes
and dislikes entered into our weekly
labor.
It was no use. He must’print the
news.
Six months later the same man came
sneaking up to our home in the night
to plead and beg with us not to print a
much worse story in which he himself
was mixed up.
We had the story, but had no inten
tion of 1 ri .ting it, for it was one of
those things that it is best, for all con
cerned and for the public, to suppress.
But our critic had heard that we
knew the details, and, with the same
unfairness that characterized his first
utterance, at once jurtrpedJto the conclu
sion that we would chortle with joy
over a chance to flaunt such a choice
bit of gossip in the faces of our readers
Remembering his attitude on the
other occasion, we let him squirm a bit.
We leminded him of his former state
ment arid intimated that he had at that
time opened our eyes. ‘‘We would
publish the news. If anyone did net
want to get into the paper, let them
keep out of trouble."
He remembered.
He admitted that he had so express
ed himself.
But he was wrong, he said.
And this case was different.
Moreover, he was a prominent man —
and married—and he had a family —and
all of the stuff that every editor hears
when someone gets into trouble.
Well, thestory was not printed'. It
never would have been. But we feel
sure, that our critic believes that the
only thing that kept it out was his
"prominence” ahd "influence.”
No, dear friend: about the only ele
ment that was total'y ignored in com
ing to our decision was you, yourself.
