Golden Wedding.
Thursday, July, 20, 1916 was
a real holiday for the good people
of Eight Mile and Beedeville, the
same being the 50th wedding an
niversary of Mr. and Mrs. Jas
per Nance of Eight Mile.
Quite a number of people from
McCrory attended and report a
fine time. They state that hun
dreds of people attended the days
celebration which included ex
tending hearty congratulations
to the happy couple for their
long life of happiness and pros
perity together, a lengthy ad
dress by Mr. Nance, songs by
Messrs Reed, a talk from Rev.
H. T. Raney and others, and last
out not least one oi tne oest ana
most completely arranged barbe
cued dinners ever enjoyed by any
community.
In his address Mr. Nance
stated among other things that!
he was 70 years young, that he j
had 22 grandchildren, four great
grand children and that he was
like the ambassador who was
sent from the United States to
England several years ago when
new states were bang rapidly
added to the Union. Upon the
ambassador’s arrival in London
he was asked how many states1
his government possessed and
he replied that he did not know
but that it had 36 when he left
and they were being added so
fast that he could not keep up
with them now.
Mr. Nance related some of his
experiences during the Civil war
his reminiscences as a pioneer
and the condition of the country
50 years ago as compared with
it now. The celebration conclud- .
ed in the afternoon when r all
joined in singing, “God Be With
You ’Til We Meet Again,” each i
one present wishing the host and
hostess many more happy years
of married life.
Miss May Edwards arrived to
day from Byhalia, Miss., for a
visit to her uncle, W. H. Jimer
son, and family.
Messrs Bill Shankle and Frank
Barber and Misses Delia Morris
and Sallie Totty attended church
at Jelks Sunday night.
PICTURES GO OUT OF STYLE
Fashion Has Decreed That Just Walls
Should Adorn the Room for
the Present.
Pictures, it is. said, are going out.
Xo more will the notable still life
entitled “Fish” adorn the Louis
Quinze rooms of the best families,
nor will Landseer and Bosa Bonheur
contend for the position of honor at
the head of the stairs. Pictures are
going out.
Well, blank walls do not a prison
make, nor reprints a salon. It used
to be thought, before the fashions be
gan to operate, that picture making
was one of the eternal traits of the
human composition, and that the de
sire to see pictures in the home was
another. All that has been changed
by fashion’s stem decree. No more
pictures. Just walls.
To those who are wyorried a word
of consolation may be spoken. Let
them not destroy the pictures or dis
pose of them. Ten years from now
a chance will come. The Raphael
Madonna will be enthroned again
over the mantel and Watts’ “Hope”
will set off a “Reading From Ho
mer.” Meanwhile, if pictures must
g*o out, it is to be hoped that a little
sanity «nd a deal of beauty in house
decorations will enter.—Exchange.
HADN'T BROUGHT HER ALONG.
“I am afraid I shall have to com
mit you as a vagrant,” said the jus
tice, looking sadly at WTeary Wag
gles. “You have no visible means
of support.”
“But, your honor,” protested
Weary, “I couldn’t bring my wife
along. She’s too busy supportin’ the
family.”—Judge.
REVERSING THE USUAL ORDER.
“Do you know, Jones does some
uncommonly queer things/ Anything
to be different front*other people.^ ~
“Like what, for instance ?”
“Why, he’s just put a mortgage on
his limousine to have repairs made
on his house.”

AMATEURS WITH THE CLUBS
Writers Who Have Made Names for
Themselves Fail to Shine on
the Golf Links.
Some time ago at a luncheon at
Delmonico’s there were gathered Bob
Davis of Munsey’s, Irvin Cobb and
Sam Blythe of the Saturday Eve
ning Post and Herbert Corey, relates
Vanity Fair.
An argument arose as to whether
Cobb or Corey was the better golfer.
Neither had ever seen a golf match
or had ever handled a club. And
both ranged something beyond two
hundred pounds in the way of dis
placement. I)avis backed Cobb and
Blythe backed Corey for $50 a side.
A taxi was subpenaed and the party
forthwith moved to Dunwoodie,
whprp thp hnttlp was stacred. it bpino
understood that neither golfer was to
be told what club should be used nor
advised as to how it should be used.
The match started at the first hole
at three o’clock. It was concluded at
the third hole at 4 :50 o’clock. Cobb
won the first hole in 27 strokes
against 35. Corey rallied gamely
and took the second in 29 strokes
against 31. But Cobb broke up the
match by grasping the finer points
of the game at the third hole, where
he turned in a tidy 24,✓Corey conced
ing the match where a perfectly
played niblick from a deep bunker
into the cup would have given him
no better than an even 30.
NO OUTLET.
"Why does a ‘little friendly ad
vice’ make us so much hotter than a
little unfriendly advice?”
"Perhaps because it’s considered
bad form to hit a person who otfers
a little friendly advice.”
WAS THERE EVER SUCH A MAN?
"I don’t believe he would ever be
true to a wife/’
"Why?”
"He neglects his automobile.”
TO THE POINT.
"I wish I were as rich as that
man,” sighed he.
"No, you don’t,” retorted she, "or
you’d work as hard as he does.”
DIGNIFIED RETICENCE.
"Did her father kick about your
marrying the girl ?”
"That is a subject too painful to
discuss.”
