The marriage of Miss Clara May
Swords and Mr. Arthur Judson
Langford was solemnized at the
Baptist church last Tuesday even¬
ing at 6 o’clock, Rev. B. D. Rags¬
dale, of Mercer University officiate
mg. The church which was beau
tifully decorated with palms.ferns,
and golden rod, was filled with rel¬
atives and friend- of the happy
couple at the appointed hour.
The bridal party entered the
churc h to the .-trails of Mendels
wedding march sweetly
rendered by Mrs. Robt. Hewlitt.
Miss Julia Swords, the bride’s
sister was maid of honor and Mr.
Clyde Langford the groom’s broth
er, was best man. The brides
maid’s were Miss Fleta Simpkins,
Miss Valla Walker, of Social Cii
clo, Miss Florede Tuckerand Miss
Florence Austin. The groomsmen
where Mr. Bee McDonald, Mr.
Luther Hollingsworth,' Mr. Dave
Phillips, of Lithonia and Mr. Rob

Robt. Hewlitt, Mr, Chas. Gaiiey,
Mr. Walter Almand and Mr. Joe

The bride was beautiful in her
wedding gown of ivory satin. Her
veil of tulle was held in place by
u spray of lilies of the valley.
The bridesmaids looked charm¬
ing in gowns of white organdie
trimmed in lace and ribbon. Both
the bride aud the bridesmaids car¬
ried boquets.
Mr. Langford is prominent both
in business and social circles here,
while the bride as Mi s Clara

of Conyers.
The bridal couple left on the
evening train for a visit to Now
York Washington and other
points. The best wishes of a host
of friends will go with them on
their journey through life.
Here is a gem from one of VVm.
J. Bryan’s speeches in Maryland
the other day: •‘Courage has al¬
ways bt.en admired physical cour¬
age. To my unnd moral courage
is. as much above physical courage
as man i- above the brute. Mor¬
al coinage is often wanting where
physical courage is present, and
what this nation needs more than
physical courage of its people is
the moral cournpo of the citizen
who w uId rather die right than
livi wrong. 5 >
The Work of A Newspaper. I

C.. recently, Rev. Calvin S. Black
*«"• “ ,d!
A newspaper . i.- a school . , of , un*
selfishness. No other elasB serves :
a community so well, and so often
for eo little pay, either in cash or
appreciation. Every day and
night the newspaper is doing
free work for the betterment of
the community. If a lawyer was
called upon by the city
tier to do for thee,ty the same a
mount and no more valuable writ
ing than that which every new.
paper does free every day, tne
charge would?* *6 or more. If
the newspapers were to cease
aweek.it would be as da*
lonesome as if the pall of an e
clipse covered us. and Wilmington
would be to tne outside world
practically as though she
not.”
DCflTH.
The baby boy of Mr. and Mrs
L. B. Still died last Sunday night.
The little one had been sick al¬
most the entire summer and des
pite the most tender
nursing av.d care the baby boy
continued feeble and weak. Its
death is very sad to its fond par¬
ents, and more sad since it was
one of twin boys. The remains of
the little one were laid to rest
in Kastview cemetery yesterday
morning.
To the sorrowing parents we ex¬
tend sineerest sympathy.
