MR. HARRY OATTS WEDS
MISS MARY LOUISE HARRIS
The very delightful news has been
received in Augusta of the marriage
in Birmingham, of , Mr. Harry H.
Oatts. formerly of this city, and Miss
Mary Louise Harris, of Birmingham,
Ala., which occurred rather quietly on
Saturday evening at the home of the
bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. F.
Harris.
While Mr. Oatts’ family and friends
were aware of the engagement they
had no idea that the marriage would
take place until later in the summer,
so the announcement that it had al
ready occurred will be quite a sur
prise.
Mrs. Oatts is said to he one of the
most attractive young women in her
home city, pretty of person and
charming in her personality. Mr.
Oatts is the only son of Mr. and Mrs.
T. Harry Oatts, now of Atlanta, for
merly of this city. He is traveling
salesman for Fairbanks, and makes
Birmingham as one of his points. The
engagement that resulted in the mar
riage Saturday is the culmination of
a pretty little romance that began
several months ago.

It is enough to start a bank ac
count with, and if you adopt a sys
tematic method of saving, the dol
lars will pile up surprisingly. Why
not adjust your expenses so that
they will not exceed three-fourths
of your earnings? That will en
able you to save a quarter out of
every dollar. Just figure what
such a system would have done
for you had you commenced It
five years ago! But, cheer up!
It isn’t too late. NOW Is the

and was sentenced to spend the re
maining years of his life In the United
States prison at Atlanta
Your petitioners believe that the
said Batue was given a fair and ini
partial trial, and that when sentence
was passed upon him the mind of
the court was of that dearness and
fairness that is so characteristic of
your honor, and that said sentence
was Imposed without the slightest
prejudice.
That shortly after sentence was so
passed upon him he was committed
to the Atlanta prison, and lias been
confined at that place over since; that,
your petitioners are informed and be
lieve that his prison record is without
demerit,; that he has borne his im
prisonment with scarcely a, murmur.
But your petitioners further would
show to your honor that tho said Bat
tle Is a very old man. at least 81
years of age, and at best with but few
years remaining him to live. They
also most respectfully suggest to your
honor that the crime committed by
him, while of the most serious nature,
and with such terrible and sad results.
Is, and can not be, regretted more
deeply by any one than by him.
Your petitioners, each and every
one of them, most respectfully sug
gest to your honor that they are deej>
ly touched with pity that this rnan,
In his extreme old age, should he
' confined in prison, especially so with
the probability of his being forced to
spend his few remaining years there,
and suffering the mental anguish of
feeling that death will come to him
there. They further show that they
believed that, In spite of the act. com
mitted by him, he Is a man of kind
heart, and has done for others a great
deal of good; and they know that his
repentence of same is sure and com
plete, and that such punishment as he
has already suffered, considered with
his extreme old ago, has atoned for
the great wrong committed by him
against the government and society.
Wherefore they pray that your hon
or will consider this appeal from your
friends, and his friends, who have
always known that the unswerving
justice administered by your honor Is
always tempered with mercy to the
deserving, and that you will add to
their appeal your own petition, to
the president of the United States,
that Thomas Battle may be pardoned
and set at liberty, to enjoy sueh few

a party of his friends reproached him
for giving too generously from Ills

C C C NATURE’S
0.0.0. TONIC
The very great majority of persons need a tonic in the Spring or early
Bummer. 'Hie system undergoes a change at this season and the entire
physical machinery is disturbed. The general bodily weakness, a tired.
Worn-out, fooling, fickle appetite, poor digestion, a half sick feeling and a
general run-down condition of the system, show that the blood is weak or
anaemic, and a blood purifying tonio Is needed to build up the deranged
system and enrich the blood. The use of 8. 8. 8. at this time may save
you from a long spell of sickness, and It will certainly prepare you for the
long, hot Summer. Many people have put off using a tonio until the system
became so weakened and depleted it could not successfully throw off disease
germs, and have paid for the neglect wlt.li a spell of fever, malaria or some
other debilitating sickness. 8.8. S. is Nature’s ideal tonio. It is a
composition of the extracts and juices of roots, herbs and barks which
science ami experience have proven are best fitted for a tonic to the human
system. It contains no minerals of any kind and is therefore perfectly safe
for persons of any age. 8. 8. 8. tones up the stomach and digestion, rids
the system of tlnit tired, worn-out fooling, and imparts vigor and strength
to every part of the body. It purifies and enriches the blood, stimulates
the secreting and excreting members to bettor action, quiets the over
strained nerves, and mukos one feel bettor in every way.

In view' of the great age of this
venerable man, the Imprisonment, he
has already suffered and the manly
way in which ho has borne it, his
case already affords a probably ade

an act of clemency which will attach
such men as the petitioners not only
