City Pharmacy To
Have Opening
The City Pharmacy will have their
formal opening Saturday of this
week and are making some special
offers to customers.
T. F. Hardeman, who purchased the
City Fount and added drugs announces
that his stock is complete and he is
now filling prescriptions and has a
complete stock of drugs and sundries.

The many friends of Hon. Henry
McCalla will be glad to learn that he
is much improved and was brought
back home this week after treatment
in an Atlanta hospital. He will soon
be able to plead his cases in court and
more important, will get back on the
golf course again.
Golden Age of Labor
Probably at no other time in all his
tory was the lot of the laborer nearer
a "golden age” than It was in the Fif
teenth and early part of the Sixteenth
centuries. At no time were wages,
relatively speaking, so high, and at no
time was food so cheap. In England,
parliament made constant attempts to
reduce the wages, but they kept high
and finally became customary. Even
tually, of course, Jiving costs mounted
and the laborer’s lot again approached
its norm. But during the years of his
paradise the hours were short; eight
being the common day’s work; the pe
riod of winter wages was brief, being
December and January; the rate was
just as good whether the laborer was
employed for a day or a year; and in
some cases he was paid for every dny
including Ills Sundays and holidays off.

Wire* for Telephone*
Just how much business is depend

the amount of wire for telephone
service which must be introduced into
a great office building. In the Equ’t

more than 1)5,000 cubic feet of lead
covered cable, weighing 23 tons and
containing over 9.000.0(H) feet of wire,
were necessary for telephone facil
ities. Other inside wiring amounted
to more than 1,000,000 feet. The Gray
bar building— 29 stories high—lias
more than 19,500 feet of cable, weigh

6,000,000 feet.
Poor Susie
It was Friday and the pupils were
due to recite various things they had
learned during the week. Dorothy said
she would give a proverb, and when
her turn came stood up and solemnly
said, “Susie Adam forgets Susie
Adam.”
The teacher gasped and called her
back. “What on earth Is that?” “Quo
tation I” said Dorothy proudly. “Say
It again!” “Susie Adam forgets Susie
Adam,” “But,” said the teacher, “when
did we have that?” “Monday.” The
teacher turned to her diary and saw
for Monday: “Enthusiasm begets en
thusiasm.”—Boston Transcript.

A1 mand-T witty
Wedding
On Monday afternoon, August sth,
at 2 o’clock, Miss Elizabeth Almand
was married to Mr. Frank Starling
Twitty, of Camilla, Ga., at the home of
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. S.
Almand on South Main St.
The ceremony was performed by the
bride’s pastor, Rev. H. K. Holland, of
the Conyers Presbyterian Church, in
the presence of the close relatives and
a few close friends of the young
couple.
Just before the ceremony, Miss
Nannelle Ford, of Decatur, sang “I
Love You Truly’’ and “Ah, Sweet
Mystery of Life.” Miss Emily Hanna
played the Lohengrin Wedding March
and the young couple entered together,
and stood against a background of
green ferns and baskets of white flow
ers, and Rev. H. K. Holland performed
the ceremony.
The bride wore a smart traveling
suit of brown flat crepe with eggshell
satin blouse with brown hat and her
corsage was orchids. After the cere
mony an informal reception was held.
Assisting Mrs. Almand in receiving
were the groom’s mother, Mrs. T. B.
Twitty, of Camilla; Mrs. D. H. Patrick,
Mrs. Horace King, Miss Louise
Almand and Caroline Almand and
Sara Jean Pharr. Mrs. Almand wore
lavender chiffon, and Mrs. Twitty
wore brown satin.
Among the out-of-town guests were:
Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Twitty, Sr., and
Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Twitty, Jr., Mr.
and Mrs. Smith, and Mrs. Brantlet, of
Camilla, Ga.; Misses Nannelle Ford
and Irene Leftwich, of Decatur; Miss
Wynn Peeples, of Columbus; Mr. and
Mrs. C. D. Almand and Mr. and Mrs.
J. Z. Almand and Miss Ruth Sullivan,
of Covington, and the bride’s grand
mother, Mrs. Sullivan, of Miami, Fla.,
and Mrs. Harry Purvis, of Gainesville.
Mrs. Twitty is an honor graduate of
Conyers High School and G. S. C. W.
at Milledgeville, and Mr. Twitty is a
graduate of Mercer university and
practices law in Camilla. After a ten
days’ stay in Clayton, Ga., they will
motor to their home in Camilla, Ga.
Animals and Reptilea
Worshiped by Mankind
It Is a fact that cows, on account
of their supposedly sacred character,
are allowed to roam at will In India,
but the animals are venerated or re
spected rather than actually wor
shiped. Real worship of cattle, how
ever, has existed at other periods of
the world’s history. It was common
among the ancient Egyptian.*, who pos
sessed the cult of the bull Apis. When
one representative of ..pis died, a
new bull was sought and specially edu
cated In sacred matters for four
months. Celebration of Its birthday
was held annually, with sacrifices of
white oxen, and It was unlawful for
women to go near It. Apis wns sup
posed to have oracular powers, and
after death, wns mummified. Another
animal that has received great respect
has been the white elephant, which Is
believed, In Slam, to carry a dead
man's soul. It cannot be purchased,
and tenets are held for It and a
funeral when it dies. But perhaps
the most feared and respected of all
Is the serpent. At Whydali, In Africa,
there Is a serpent temple, and these
reptiles In many parts of Africa are
regarded as Incarnations of dead
relatives. *
Worcester Annoyed by ~
Exuberance of Youth
One has but to delve Into biography
to discover that even the great were
beset with human frailties just like
less famous mortals. The daughter of
the poet Longfellow, In her memoirs,
tells how the children kept the com
munity on edge.
Longfellow’s neighbors did not In
variably share his lndulgeflee toward
his children. The lexicogrupher, Wor
cester, was a next door neighbor In
Cambridge. A little pond, where the
children skated, lay between the two
places. The boys, of course, were
noisy, which was not minded at home.
But dictionary making is not like
poetry and the dlgulfled Worcester,
disturbed, frequently came down and
chased the children off his end of the
pond, ordering them, In words not to
be found In his dictionary, to keep
their racket at home.

BOYS WILL GO TO ATHENS
AUGUST 26th
August 26-31 will be the big week
for all boys, 10 to 20 years old, who
are interested in club work and agri
culture of this county.
About two thousand boys go to
Camp Wilkins every summer. Several
different counties go each week for
several weeks.
Parents who wish their boys to be
interested in better farming, or who
wish their boys to get started with
better farming methods than their
dads did, or wish their boys to be more
interested in club work, or in agricul
tural education should see that their
boys get to make this trip.
This week at Camp Wilkins, at the
State College of Agriculture, will be
a great boost to the boys. They will
be well cared for in every way. The
trip will cost $8 to $lO for each boy.
All boys will wear overalls there the
whole week. Each boy carries his own
bed linens and necesasry soap, towels,
tooth brush and paste.
I am making arrangements for sev
eral boys to borrow the ten dollars to

boy to make the thing A business
