McCALLA BETTER 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. —Detroit News. Wire* for Telephone* Just how much business is depend ent upon the telephone Is Indicated by the amount of wire for telephone service which must be introduced into a great office building. In the Equ’t able Trust building—36 stories high 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 ing 13% tons. The telephone wire In tills building amounts to more than 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.

K J flowers, nasturtiums, but- w tercups, daisies, pansies, \ asters—all of the brightest w field flowers played a prominent part In the decoration for the hats. In this collection probably the most striking was the large garden lint. Among others shown was a natural Tuscan straw, trimmed with bunches of bright flowers and a band of roynl blue velvet ribbon; another was an almond green crlnol hair hat with peach and chartreuse buttercups on the left edge and side back of the crown. At the upper left Is shown a capu cine bnkou turban trimmed with shaded asters of felt. These are placed over the right ear. This is the only decoration used and brings the floral feature strongly into evidence. At the upper right Is a capuclne mushroom hat, closely woven. This departure from the small, close-fitting hat is a welcome change to almost every type of woman, as it serves as a SALEM CAMP MEETING The 107th annual meeting at the famous old Salem Camp Ground closed probably its greatest meeting Thurs day evening.

The under part of the brim Is lined with a silk in the darkest shade of the floral decoration, which Is of shaded geraniums with pearl centers. Rose bakou is the material in the hat shown nt the lower left. The en tire crown is covered with rose leaf petals tinted in green. The brim is extremely wide and of the drooping type, shading the entire face.

Along the back and underneath the brim on the left side large white and lyellow marguerites are flatly applied. The brim has a lining of black crepe, and It is a hat that will appeal to thousands of women. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (©. 1929, Western Newspaper Union.) OFFICIAL ORGAN OF ROCKDALE COUNTY Men and Boys Will Again Make Journey to Athens 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 g 6 on. All that is necessary is for the boy to make the thing A business proposition on the same terms as he or his father would be able to borrow money at the bank.
