Many Camilla friends were made

than a year. The funeral took place
Friday afternoon. Mrs. Tillman was

is survivied by four daughters: Mrs.
Susie Tillman Moore and Mrs. Leola
Tillman Parker, of Tifton; Mrs. Wm.
McDonald and Mrs. E. L. Whitworth,
of Miami, Fla. She was a dependent
of one of the most prominent fami¬
lies of the state and also prominently
connected by marriage. She was, a
woman of very brilliant mind and had
been a member of the Baptist church
since early girlhood. Mrs, Tillman

Mrs. Parker and was deeply beloved
here.
* Honor to Dead Soldier
The War department says when a
soldier Is buried the following Is the
procedure: The body is lowered into
the grave as the priest or minister
rends a short service. Usually music
is played or a hymn is sung. A bugle
tlieu sounds taps, after which a tiring
squad fires three rounds over the
grave. The guns are pointed upward,
in no particular direction. After the
funeral party leaves the cemetery the
cesneterlal help closes the grave.
IT’S THE FLAVORING
that gives the soup, stew, rag¬
out, pot roast or other dish such
an appetizing odor and such a
satisfying taste. It pays a
housewife well to buy only the
best vinegar, mustard, catsup,
spices, herbs, sauces. With
their aid, all dishes taste fine.
We keep the best and the best

‘•Kept Marriage Secret
For Seventeen Years
For Her Husband
-
NEW yORK.-Her husband seven
^ years ago 8tarted on the road t0
theatrical farBe because he was a
great stage , over
And ghe ^ ^ Jf ^ pubHc
knew he had such “commonplace
things as a wife, grocery bills and
j other household problems reputation on his mind
he would lose his for ro
| j ^antic “shiek” parts behind the foot
lights.
That is why a charming little wo¬
man known on the stage by the mas¬
culine appellation of Pat Clary, sug¬
gested to her husband, Fiske O’Hara
that they keep their marriage a se¬
cret. And she shattered the favorite
feminine tradition by keeping it a
secret for seventeen long years.
Which proves, of course, that there
is at least one woman in the world
who can keep a secret.
Not a Feminist.
“I was not the forerunner of that
modern group of feminists who be¬
lieve that_they should not take the
name of tlieir husband when they
pjarry,” she says. “I didn’t keep the
marriage a secret because I wanted
my own career, unhampered by
famous husband. It was for purely
Business reasons. - '
“I thought that if the public knew
that my husband, like all other hus¬
bands had to button the old-fashion¬
ed dresses we women wore some
years ago, his romantic love scenes
on the stage would fall flat. So I
suggested the secret marriage.”
“I was only 15 and he was 22. We
were playing in St. Louis, and to
avoid publicity we slipped off to Con
nellsville, 111., for the ceremony.”
“Since that time I have played op¬
posite him every season. While he
made love fervently to me on the
stage the public never suspected that
he was making love to his own wife.
“That’s why he was so earnest
about it,” she added with a- smile.
But after each performance the
couple never went out the stage door
together. They never dined together
in a public cafe or restaurant ex¬
cept on very rare occasions and never
appeared together socially.
Sometimes it was, difficult to ar¬
range pecret meeetings so as not to
arouse the suspicions of other mem¬
bers of the company, for only their
manager "and a few close friends
outside the profession knew the secret
until it was revealed a few days ago.
“I wouldn't take the trouble to
keep a secret for purely selfish rea¬
sons," the wife says, “but I would
when I was convinced it was the
right thing for both of us, as it was
in this case. Now my husband is
playing different parts, and we are
going to star jointly in Mr. and Mrs.
roles.'
There have been many amusing in¬
cidents connected with the secret
marriage.

For one thing Mr. O’Hara has
turned all his “mash” letters from

flappers over to his wife, and she has
repeatedly answered the telephone
and been his secretary when some
particularly enthusiastic fan called
him at his hotel.
She has seen reports of her hus¬
band’s engagement to other women.
Often she sat in a group where her
husband was the topic of conversa¬
tion, and had to be demurely silent
when a few words might have proven
so enlightening.
“And now it is a great relief to
come out with the truth, and be as
devoted as we like,” she said. I’ve
always had a horror of these hus¬
band and wife pictures that become
obsolete the second or third year and
had to be recalled from circulation.
That’s the reason we’ve never had
one until to-day. But after seven¬
teen years we’re still in love, and I
guess our marriage is a permanent
one.

Prehistoric Art
Found In Mexico
Like Old Egypt’s
TEPIC, Nayarit, Mexico.— E. O.
Matthews, an American versed in
Mexican archeology, says that some
of his recent discoveries of prehistoric
relics in western Mexico show strik¬
ing similarity to the ancient art of
Egypt.
Mr. Matthews points out that while
much data concerning the Toltecs and
their successors, the Aztecs, has been
gleaned from central and eastern
Mexico, little has been learned regard¬
ing the history of those who dwell
on the’'western shores. He is giving
his attention to supplying more infor¬
mation of regions archeologieally un¬
charted, and has uncovered weapons,
articles of domestic utility and adorn¬
ment and grotesque images of reli¬
gious portent.
A recent press dispatch from Mex¬
ico City told of a party of excursion¬
ists in Vera Gruz state that found,
hidden in a cave near Orizaba, a large
collection of Aztec idols. These im¬
ages still werb being worshiped by
Indians of that remote region, who
continued to follow ceremonies sup¬
posed to have disappeared more than
400 years ago. It was reported that
after a battle with the Indians the
tourists captured many of the price¬
less relics. The University of Oriza¬
ba has organized an expedition to ex¬
plore the locality more thoroughly.
Commenting on this find of idols,
Mr. Matthews deplored the use of

force and recalled an experience he
had a few years ago. Near Teeoco
he too found a cave filled with idols
and other objects of great antiquity.
The Indians, holding confidence in
him, allowed him to select several of
the art treasures on his promise that
he would not reveal the hiding place.
