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. Mill Construction Enjoined.

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. —The following party of peo ple from Perry and Houston County go to South Carolina to day to spend about a week at the Isle of Palms, near Charleston : Judge S.
