Secret Marriage at Fort Valley.
Last Friday we were informed of
a marriage that had been kept en
tirely secrent since March 4th. On
that day, at the home of Col. Louis
Jj. Brown in Fort Valley, Rev. O. A.
Thrower performed the ceremony
that made man and wife of Mr. Jno,
A Thomas and Miss. Marie Hoodlet.
The people of Fort Valley were
very much surprised when the mar
riage was made public last Friday.
The groom is a bank cashier at
Adel, Ga., was born in Fort Valley
and reared at Newnan.
The bride is of Nelsonville, Ohio,
sister of lYL rs. Clarence W. Withoft,
whose husband is manager of sever
al large fruit farms in Houston.
Of the marraiage, the Fort Valley
coroespondent of the Telegraph says:
“There was no reason for keeping
the marriage secret save the groom
did not wish his bride, who has only
recently returned from her Ohio
home, to go any farther south until
after the warm weather was over,
and he also thought he would be
transferred from Adel to one of the
banks further north in a week or so,
but in the latter supposition he was
disappointed, as over two months
elapsed ere he could come and claim
his fair bride.
“Both parties are well known and
extremely popular here, and have
the best wishes vf the entire com
munity.”

school in Houston county will be

“Something New Under
the Sun.”
All doctors have tried to cure Catarrh
by the use of powders, acid gases, inhal
ers and drugs in paste form. Their pow
ders dry up the mucous membranes,
causing them to crack open and bleed.
The powerful ac.ds used in the inhalers
have entirely eaten away the same mem
branes that their makers have aimed to
cure, while the pastes and ointments can
not reach the disease. An old and expe
rienced practitioner who lias for many
years made a close study and specialty
of the treatment of Catarrh, has at last
perfected a|treatment which, when faith
fully used, not only relieves once, but
permanently cures Catarrh, by remov
ing the cause, stopping the discharges
and curing all inflammatiou. It is the
only remedy known to science that ac
tually reaches the afflicted parts. This
wonderful remedy is known as “Snuff-
flesthe Guaranteed Catarrh Care”
and is sold at the extremely low price of
One Dollar, each package containing in
ternal and external medicine sufficient
for a full month’s treatment and every
thing necessary to its perfect use.
“Snuffles” is the only perfect Ca
tarrh Cure ever made and is now rec
ognizad as the only safe and positive
cure for that annoying and disgusting
disease. It cures all inflammation quick
ly and permanently, and is also wonder
fully quick‘to relieve Hay Fever or
Cold in the Head. ’
Catarrh when neglected often leads to
CoNsuMPTioN-“Snuffles” will save you
if you use it at once. It is no ordinary
remedy, but a complete treatment which
is positively guaranteed to cure Catarrh
iu any form or stage if used according
to the directions which accompany each
package. Don’t delay, but send for it at
once, and write full particulars as to
your condition, and you will receive spe
cial advice from the discoverer of this
wonderful remedy regarding your case
without cost to you beyond the regular
price of “Snaffles” the “Guaran
teed Catarrh Cure.”

We are inclined to think that, the
farmers would like to go to grass
awhile for the sake of rain. Be of
good cheer, gentlemen. It missed
you Sunday, but you will have an
opportunity shortly and may have to
stay longer than is desired.
Mrs. and Miss Mary Georgia Short
visited friends at Myrtle last week.
Mr. George Hunt, wife and chil
dren visited friends here Saturday
and Sunday.
An annual neighborhood picnic at
the home of Mr^ Allen Todd was en
joyed by about 50 people last Sat
urday. An excellent dinner was
served.
Our amiable and efficient school
superintendent was in our midst last
week looking after the schools.
The rain didn’t quite slight us. On
Sunday night a small shower was
received, which* helped considerably.
It is contrary to human nature to
be satisfied. . If all the wind should
blow away, all the dust settle, all the
rain that is necessary fall and the
“brotherhood of man” be consum
mated, there would be as great a di
vergence between “have and want”
as at present. Let us try and be
satisfied, fellow and sister citizens,
and not murmur at our soft lot, for
such it is and no mistake. If there
are any hard places in it, we are to
blame, and no one else.

Parties from this place and Byron
pulled out last Tuesday morning for
the banks of the Ocmulgee to spend
a few days trying their luck with the
finny tribe and the playful squirrel,
and if all reports are true (of course
they are) they had great success.
One of the boys complained of being
all out of tune for eating; however,
after the meals were cooked and de
voured, the majority decided that it
was a blessing bestowed upon them,
as they were satisfied if he could
have done with the fish. and squir
rels that he wanted to do their
shares would have been slim. Before
leaving camp Friday morning a club
was organized, and will be known as
the Loving’s Lake Fishing and
Hunting Club, and elected some of
the best men to the most important
offices: J. F. Scarborough, president,
D. J. Permenter, secretary and treas
urer. The following names appear
on the roll as members: J. W. Rush
ing, Arthur Johnson, J. L. Rushing,
B. C. Rushing, W. H. Dent, Wiley
Dent, Jim Scarborough, W. F. Rush

Richardson, chief cook.
Crop prospect not as flattering
as some other things in existense
about this place. Poor stands of
-cotton and corn, but think ere the
break of another moon, we will
have had rain to bring it up.
Grain crop very good considering
the dry spell we are now having
with us.

The Pan American will be one of the
gre atest and most beautiful Expositions
the world has known. To enjoy its beau
ties will be worth-many an effort.
The question of traveling io and from
the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo
is one to be carefully considered.
When you buy your ticket you wili
wish to feel satisfied that you have acted
wisely. You will desiie to travel com
fortably, pleasantly, promptly, and to se
cure the most of interest on your journey.
The matter of returning home,too,must
be considered, as after you have done the
Exposition, Buffalo, Niagara Falls and
vicinity, you’ll be tired and wish to go
quickly and comfortably.
The Central of Georgia Railway
by reason of its desirable connections,
both rail < nd steamship, offering a choice
of two routes, will best fill every lequire-
ment nec :ssary to successful and com
fortable Pan-American journeys from
the Southeast.
Through direct connections are made
through Atlanta, Athens, Augusta all

the Ocean Steamship Company to New
York or Boston .*

gia Railway or drop ns a postal,as prob
ably we will have something in the way
of special matter about the Exposition
we can send yon. J. C. Haile,
