GIRTMAN’S
PANATORIAM
- A Youtkful Gouple Married,
Jimmie Créamer, who lives three
miles in the country, started to
school here some time ago. But
somqhow Jim had something else
on his mind bes'des booke. There
was a young lady over in Coffee coun
ty that monopolized his thoughts,
So, on Wednes lay of last week Jim
rulled out for the home of his lady
ove, and upon his crrival thers,
they ,!)ot_h decided to marry ‘‘right
now.” So licenss was procured.
But they had quite a timein trying
to get “hitched for life.”” Owing
to their tender ages,four differett
parties refused to marry them.
Finely they called on Dawsen
Snipes, and he being clothed with
the authority to marry folks, went
ahead and tied the knot for these
young people.
~ Some say that the groom is not
more than 14 or 15 years of age.
Yet, he informed the writer that
he was 18, and that his wife was 18
years of age.
There was strong parental objec
tion on the groom’s side of the house
so we learn, but the bride’s parents
were willing to the marriage. The
bride’s maiden name was Miss Dora
Roland. The News wishes this ex
tremly young couple a long and
happy life. -

Truth and Education will
Re-Create Citizenship.
A region over six hundred miles long and two hundred wide, in
this country, is covered by a range of Mountains extending from the
borders of Pennsylvania, to Northern Georgia and Alabama.
For years the inhabitants dwelt almost apart from all other peo—
ple, their life was secretive and suspicious, they were scarcely known.
With the onward march of civilization, brave souls carried God’s
word and the seedlings of knowledge to these benighted ones, and this
influence soon changed the primitive shack to the more modern struct
ure, and to-day are to be seen throughout the Appalican Range, the
effect of truth, knowledge and development.
‘ Paralleling the change wrought in this vast territory, is a picture
in our own beloved Georgia, where until the advent of a class of men
belong ng to the new south, we depended on the outside for aid and
knowledge, while in truth the assistance given kept us on a parity
with the inhabitants of the Appalacians before Gods word and educat
ion reached them.
Bright, true and honest men came to the front to direct the
Jdestines of our people, who soon learned to appreciate their efforts,
and feslty to home enterprise, has buit in Georgia an organization that
for fair dealiug and conservativness has no competitor, for the EM—
PIRE LIFE stands alone.
