As the soft and dulcet strains of music given forth by the organ, mingled with those of the violin called forth hy the skilful touch of the hands of Miss Ella Floyd and Mrs. Dr. J. C. Harper, of Greenwood, respec tively, began the coming in of the bridal party. The ushers first came and took their places near the chancel railing, then Mas itpr Marshall Lntlmer rlnsr bearer, then Master Walter Huckabee and little Miss Frances Harper.

I ? t $10,000 in Bills Left in tftiii way Car Seat, i Macon, Ga., Jan. 81.?Condudtor Walter Little picked up a packuge in a seat of a Central of Georgia railway car yesterday at Columbia, Ala., wnlch later waa found I to contain ?10,000 in bills. 1 The name of J. C. Koiinlz appeared on the package, and It was found today that the money belonged to a J)othan bank with which Mr. Kouutz is connected. ' The money was in possession of a mes senger. who left the train at Columbia. It was returned to the bank. I The money, along with several other packages, had been placed in a hand grip, , which in some, manner had come open while on the seat in the day coach and the $10, o:n pacha je had dropped out. Because of the notoriety that it would bring liim, the blank officials have refused to dis-lo.se the name of the man who lost the money. It was explained that the bank had sent a special representative to carry the mon ey to l)'?than because of the high rates charged by the express company, it being much cheaper to pay the expense of a man to carry the money in person than to pay 25 c.'nfs per $100 to send it by express.

Agricultural Department Would En courage Industry?Pig Clubs lor the Poys?Through This Means, it is Hoped, Youths Can be Interested in Production. Waoskington, Jan. 30.?The depart ment of agriculture is endeavoring to interest the younger generations on Southern farms in the breeding of good hogs. It is the objcct of the de partment to encourage the young men to raise at least enough pork for home consumption, and if possible a surplus for the market. Pork can be marketed in many forms?fresh pork, hams, bacon and sausage?and can be produced so as to sell much cheap-, er than beef. A shortage of beef means an increased demand for pork, and it seems reasonable that there Bhould be a ready demand for all the available supply. This means money in ,the pocket of the boy hog raiser. Some of the points which the de partment advises the youthful hog grower to bear in mind are the fol lowing: 1. The feeding and care are as im portant as the breeding In producing a good hog. Plenty of feed and good care may make a good hog out of a runt, but lack of it will always make a runt out of a good pig. 2. To make pork cheaply a perma nent pasture and forage crops must be used. " "TT ?:V?oxrn a Hrv hari ?J. I UUllg ^150 wuai. uu.v ~ ~ and plenty of sunshine. 4. Begin feeding the pig as. soon as he will eat, and keep him growing un til he is mature. 5. Always keep plenty of clean, fresh water where the hogs may drink at any time. 6. Quarantine all newly purchased animals for three weeks. 7. Never keep a female for a brood sow, no matter how well bred she may be, if she will not produce more than four strong pigs at a litter. 8. The more milk a sow will give the faster her pigs will grow. 9. Lice provent a hog from doing well. 10. Always keep a mixture of char nohoa HmA RlllnhllP. Salt.

These points are emphasized in a bulletin just issued by the bureau of animal industry, entitled "Boys' Pig Clubs, With Special Reference to Their Organization, in the South." It can be had free by the young farmer by application to the depart ment. It contains- a number of illus trations, a design ef a portable hog house, which can be built easily and cheaply, and a design of feeding pen for Bmall pigs. In the DamDhlet are some very im portant "dont's" which should aid the young farmer in preventing the dangerous disease of hog cholera. Here are the suggestions: Do not have hog lots next to high ways. railroads or streams. If your neighbor's hogB have cholera do not allow anyone from his farm to visit your farm, and eseeially your hog lot or pens, and keep away from your neighbor's hog let, whether his hogs have cholera or not. Do not keep pigeons or allow them to alight on your premises. Keep away crows and buzzards. Quarantine all new hogs brought to your place until you are sure they are free of disease. . Do pet $Uow a patent medicine man on your place, for you do not know how Fepegtly h? ?as visited a sick herd. Disinfect your wagon and your own shoes and clothes after hauling hogs to stock yards or railroad loading pens. Avoid every possible way of car rying infection to your hogs. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," is an old saying, but <n tMc casp it is everything. The object of the pig clubs Is to show the boys how better and cheap er hogs may be produced by the use of improved biood and the growing of forage crops. It also aims to epcour age the homecuring of meats and the growing of forage crops, while dis couraging the use of high-priced feed The work of the boys' pig clubs is planned to compliment the work of the boys' corn clubs by showing the boys how they can profitably sell their corn through hogs. Learn Their Yalue. The boys in these clubs learn how to judge hogs and to select them for breeding or market purposes. They also learn practical ways in the man-. agement of diseases of swine, all of, wh<ch information proves valuable with respect to other forms of live stock work. , Los Angeles, Jan. 30.?
