A Quiet Marriage at Perry.
Entirely unattended by festivi-
tives of any character was the
marriage solemized at the the
home of Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Edt
wards Wednesday night of las-
week.
Only members of the immedi
ate families of the bride and
gro6m were present when, direct
ly after the conclusion of the reg
ular prayer service at the Metho
dist ohurch, Rev. J. W. Simmons
performed the* ceremony that
made man and wife of^Mr. Hous
ton Parks Houser and Miss Elea-
nora Edwards.
There were many valuable and
beautiful presents from relatives
and friends.
Thursday afternoon the bride
and groom left Perry for a trip
to “T
ybee by the sea,” and to
Beufort, South Carolina. They
return home to-day.
As all Perry knows, the groom
is the second son of Mr. and Mrs.
Fred M. Houser, and is in busi
ness with his father at Perry.
The bride is the third daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Edwards,
talented in art, attractive in
character and feature.
Arrangements had been madp
for an elaborate church wedding
Wednesday afternoon, but the
death'of Mrs. Ragin, grand-moth
er of the bride, caused the change
mentioned.
These young people are well
epuipped for the duties and pleas
ure of life, and with their cordial
congratulations, they have the
best wishes of their many
friends,
A New Cotton Enemy.
Last Monday Mr. John B.
Hunt, of the tenth district near j
Heard, brought eo Perry several j
mature bolls of cotton that had j
been attacked by some unknown |
disease or insect.
The appearance of the bolls
agree with the discription of “an-
thracnose.” the disease that is
doing much harm in Putnam
County,
An article on that disease is
published in the last issue of the
Home Journal on the fourth
Children's Lawn Party.
From 7 to 10 o’clock last Fri
day night, a large number of Per
ry children were the guests of
Misses Stella and Eliza Cater at
a lawn party given in honor of
Miss Lucile Cater of Forsyth,
cousin of the hostesses.
In the front yard of the elegant
home of Dr. R. L. Cater, the
lawn was in delightful shape for
the occasion, with the porch and
lawn brilliantly illumined with
lamps and Chinese lanterns.
AVith muoh energy and happy
laughter the ohildren enjoyed the
games so well suited to the occa
sion, and the refreshments—ice
oream and ohke—came in just
right to the, great delight of the
young guests.
Without a flaw the guests say
the entertainment was, and most
graceful were the young hostesses
in dispensing the hospitalities of
the ocoasion.
page.
The bolls exhibit all stages of
the disease, from a small spot to
the open boll disclosing the dark
brown cotton, dead and wothless.
Whether this work of destruc
tion is that of an insect, or is a
fungus growth, no one knows, but
Mr. Hunt says that it is all over
his crop, and is in fields of seme
of his neighbors. He says he
gathered nine affected bolls from
a stalk that contained eleven
bolls.
There should be a remedy, but
it must be discovered through
scientific research.

J —On the 17th of August, 1852,
Mr. William Means and Miss Su
san Lane were married. On Sat
urday of next week, August 16th,
the fiftieth anniversary of that
happy event will be celebrated at
the home of the aged couple near
Elko. If every moment of these
fifty years have been filled with
pure joy, and earthly goods are
their’s in abundant store, they
deserve.if all and more. They are
good people and true, and we are
glad the opportunity of saying it
is at hand.
—On Friday night of next

have seen this season grew in Mr.
MoM. Rainey’s orchard just east
of'Perry, and was given to the
editor Tuesday morning. It
measured 104 inches in circum
ference.
Within the last several weeks
much has been said and written
about the Cotton Seed oil mill to
be built and operated at Fort Val
ley.
"The stock (company is com
posed of local men, and home
capital and home enterprise sup
plied the force. The site was pur
chased and the work of construc
tion was proceeding nicely, but
the work has been stopped by
Court orders. On August 2nd,
the Fort Valley correspondent of
the Macon Telegraph gives the
following ‘information.
“Judge Wm. H, Felton of the
Macon cirouit yesterday granted
an injunction against the Fort
Valley Oil Mill, restraining them
from continuing the erection of
their mill.
“The mill is being located al
most directly opposite / the resi
dences of Dr. J. R. Kinney and
Messrs. A. W. and F. S. Murray,
and closely adjoining to, and
almost abutting the Presbyterian
church.
• “The initiative step was taken
by the residence owners across
the street and upon solicitation,
Elder Allmu^h joined in the peti
tion.”
It is to be devoutly hoped that
the injunction, supposedly tem
porary,will not operate to prevent
entirely the building of the mill.
Suoh an industry would be worth
muc. i to Fort Valley.
