out of skew and she is reeling around
like a bob tailed hen on a rickety hen

FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY
OF DR. AND MRS. J. L. SELMAN
Dr. and Mrs. J. L. Selman celebrated
the fortieth anniversary of their mar
riage Saturday evening from 8 to 11.
It was a most pleasant occasion,
bringing together relatives, neighbors
and friends who had lived under the
influence of their happy union.
Just five days after Dr. Selman
graduated from Medical College he
married Miss Nannie Abercrombie and
they located in Douglasville, where he
has practiced successfully since.
(They have watched and aided the
growth of the town from a cross-roads
settlement to the progressive little
city of today. They have been active
members of the Baptist church for
many years.)
The same house, now spacious and
with modern improvements, has been
their home for these forty years. The
