MR. F. L. WOOD WEDS
MISS OLIVIA AMOSS
Very sweet and quiet, and most im
pressive, was the marriage at three
o'clock this afternoon of Miss Olivia
Rebecca Amoss and Mr. Frederick L.
Wood, which took place at the home
of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Ernest Pounds, 564 Reynolds street,
Rev. Richard Wilkinson officiating.
Despite the fact that the invitations
had been limited almost entirely to
the out-of-town family connections
and friends, no pains were spared in
he decorations, and the spacious par
lors and broad hall were fairly abloom
with quantities ot gorgeous summer
roses arranged against a background
of house plants.
The bride was very dainty and girj
ish in a traveling gown of bisque col
ored Panama cloth, with which was
worn a hat in corresponding tones
with shoes and gloves all of the same
color. A huge bouquet of stately
bride roses finished this smart and
most becoming toilette.

MISS JOSIE EASTERLING
Rarely has there been celebrated a
lovelier home wedding than that of
Miss Josie Easterling and Mr. Henry
Newton Reid of Savannah, which took
place at seven o’clock last evening
at the home of the parents of the
bride, Mr. and Mrs. William A. East
erling 15 Greene street, the ceremony
being’followed by an Informal recep
tion at which were entertained a
number of friends preceding the de
parture of the bride and groom for
Savannah, where they will make their
home. Througlfout the entire house
there prevailed the most beautiful
of decorations, graceful palms placed
effectively against the walls so as to
form a wainscoting effect against
which were placed tall vases filled
with the daintiest of white roses in
all their spotless loveliness, white
roses and snowy white carnations
that were banked amid the fern on
the mantels and found resting places
on various stands and tables. In the
rear parlor was an altar of palms
and roses, amid which gleamed With
star-like loveliness soft white candles.
Here the ceremony was impressively
performed by the Rev. Ashby Jones,
of the First Baptist church.

of white mull elaborately Inset with
lace and Irish embroidery. Miss
McKie’s flowers were pink roses and
ferns. Mr. Wood's best man was Mr.
Charles Wood.
Immediately after the ceremony
and congratulations attended bv the
sincerest of good wishes, the happy
young couple left for a visit to vari
ous points in South Carolina before
returning to Augusta where they will
make their home.
Mrs. Wood is the very pretty and
attractive daughter of Mrs. Ernest
Pounds and is a sweet, dainty blonde,
with a delightful manner and a
gentle, womanly charm that proves
most winning. Mr. Wood is original
ly from Chester, S. C., but has made
Augusta his home for the past twelve
years, identifying himself with its in

whom he came in touch. Mr. Wood

themselves about the altar and await
ed the entrance of the bride, who
was attended by the groom. The
maids wore dainty gowns of pale
blue chiffon, and soft rose pink chif
fon, and carried fern flowers caught
with mull.
The bride has never appeared to a
greater advantage than in her wed
ding gown, an elaborate princesse of
soft white mousseline de soie and
lace, worn over white silk. This
charming and most becoming toilette
was given the finishing touch by her
coronet of orange blossoms above
the soft brown hair. Her bouquet was
a superb shower of bride roses and
trailing ferns.
Immediately following the cere
mony the guests adjourned to the
supper room, where a delicious sup
per was served. The table at which
the bridal party was seated was all in
the bridal tones of white and green,
snowy satin damask being overlaid
with lace and having for its central
adornment a huge bridal cake sur
mounted by two cooing doves. Placed
about the table were slender crystal
vases filled with bride roses and white
carnations, alternating with cut &ias*
bonbon dishes filled with bonbons in
green and white tones. The other
cakes and the small individual cakes
as well as the ices, all reflected the
green and white of the bride’s colors,
and the effectiveness of the picture
presented was one of incomparable
loveliness. Other guests were seated
at a table no less beautiful in its
contrasting tone of crimson, masses
of crimson roses and carnations being
placed down the centre.
After supper the bride changed her
gown for a traveling suit of grey,
handsomely braided and worn with
a hat In natural colored straw, pic
turesquely laden with poppies in
tones of grey and old .rose, which
harmonized beautifully with her cos
tume, and Mr. and Mrs. Reid left on
the eight-forty train for Savannah,
where they will reside, jind where
the bride is yielded most reluctantly
by her admiring circle of friends.
An array of handsome presents in
silver, cut glass, china, etc., testified
to the esteem in which the young
couple are held
Among the many charming and at
tractive youngs women in Augusta
there is none" of more destinctive
charm than is Mrs. Reid and amid the
happy felicitations ushered upon her
and the groom last evening, there was
a bingled strain of sadness at the
thought that from henceforth her
home would be elsewhere.
Mr. Reid is a rising young business
men of Savannah and holds a position
of trust with one of the wholesale
houses.

THE AUOOSTA HERALD
OMEGA FLOUR
THE STANDARD ELOUR OE THE MARKET
Used by the J. B. White Company to Draw
Trade by Offering it to the Public
Below Its Value.
MR. E. C. DENTON,
Vice-President <J. B. White Co.,
Individually, officially and personally.
On April 24th, you advertised in The Augusta Herald, that
hereafter, if the controversy between yourself and ourselves con
tinued, that we must not dare use your name in print —that you
were the J. B. White Company. You communicated no news to
the public, when you stated that you considered yourself the J.
B. V hite Co.; but the public has i often asked itself, Upon what
meat does this our Caesar feed, that he has grown so fat ?
No, Mr. E; 0. Denton, you can’t sling personalities at Smith
Brothers, and then conceal vonrself behind a stone wall, and say
to the public when you are caught in the trap, and are about to
be exposed, “This isn’t E. C. Denton talking; this is the J. B.
White Company.”
In that letter, in which you ask us to hereafter leave your
name out of print, there are so many inaccuracies that to reply to
them all would be too expensive, through the medium of a news
paper, and of too little consequence to the public io even be inter
esting; but, we are going to press upon the people of Augusta
how inaccurate are your statements, and we are going to further
show to the people of Augusta how contemptuously you speak of
those of whom the corporation o-f which you are the manager is
continuously asking patronage.
On April 6th, 1909, to be specific, and to quote, you stated in
an advertisement in The Augusta Herald, as follows: “The per
centage of reduction I have made on this article (Omega Flour)
is no greater than the average percentage of reduction on the on*
tire stock of groceries in our store, —our prices being marked in
plain figures and speak for themselves. We will permit any three
reputable men who know the grocery business to make the inves
tigation, and if the above is not true, we will give the Associated
Charities our certified check for $1,000.00.”
We called upon you to put up or shut up. That we were pre
pared to accept your terms and proceed with the investigation.
You, Mr.E.C. Denton, said it would be too expensive; that it would
cost several hundred dollars, as you would have to send to Now,
York for experts. We asked you why you would have to send to
New York for experts, when your proposition was to leave it to
“any three reputable men who know the grocery business,” and
you replied that, you wouldn’t trust anyone in the City of Au
gusta in such an investigation; that they would ruin you- If you
couldn’t trust the people of Augusta, how do you expect the peo
ple of Augusta to believe you, and if you would trust the people
of Augusta, why'did you refuse to leave to them the question of
whether your statement made in the newspaper was true or
whether it was only a bluff, and a claptrap advertisement to
catch the unwary and fool the unthinking. Is it not aboi/t time
that you could come down from your high horse, and walk on the
earth a bit, and conduct your business on its merits, and not con
tinue to trifle with, and slim-slam the public ?
Did you not ask Smith Bros, to sell you Omega Flour, —the
Smith Bros, that you called “Little Local, Semi-Jobbers,” and
didn’t Smith Bros, those same little local semi-jobbers refuse to
sell you Omega Flour, because we would not assist you in your of’
forts to destroy the legitimate trade of the community. Did wo
not state to you that standard articles had standard prices, and
did not you reply to us that if we did not do as you wanted us to
do, that you would hound us as long as we were in business; and
did we not give you the laugh, and ask von since when you had
grown so dangerous that everyone should tremble, who refused
to be a party to your destroying the trade of the community from
which you gained your living.
Three times have you advertised, Mr. Denton, that you had
a carloqd of Omega Flour direct from the mill, and had the in
voice direct from H. (J. Cole Milling Co., of Chester, 111., for 155
barrels. Three times have we demanded you to publish tliat, in
voice, written in your name, and never once have you furnished
the public with the evidence, to prove the truth of your state
ment. On that proposition, you have crawled into your hole,
and drawn your hole in after you. You knew when you were
stating that you had bought this Omega Flour at the mill, saving
jobbers’ profits, that you were not stating the truth, but that you
had bought it in the City of Atlanta, and when the truth was
told on you, you replied in your advertisement of the 23rd, Well,
suppose I did go to Atlanta to buy this carload of flour, “if more
retailers would do the same thing, they would occupy a more in
dependent position in the sale of Omega Flour in the City of Au
gusta.” , , ,
Now, Mr. Denton, let the public understand your suggestion.
Is it, that you are advising the Augusta public to go to Atlanta to
buy their merchandise? Db you mean what you say, when you
sav it? If you do, you are a fine ex-President of the Merchants
Retail Association, —sure. You! are a great booster for Augusta
—sure; when you its leading department store manager, advise
the people of Augusta to go to Atlanta to buy their merchandise,
especially when you know that you bought it in Atlanta at one
price, and were selling it here for less than cost, hoping by this
fake method io fool the public, even though in fooling the public,
you might bring ruin upon reputable merchants in the commu
nity.
As you say you will hound us as long as we are in business
we presume that after this letter, you will put Omega Flour,
which cost ninety cents a sack at the mill, down to 80 cents;
knowing that while you won’t help yourself by such methods, you
may possibly hurt reputable merchants in this community. You
won’t last long at this.
