Sease, the candle bearers, Misses Mary Kaiser and Mary Ballentine, came in, standing on each side of the minister, then Miss Emma Wessinger with Mr. Dedrick Kaiser and Miss Ruth Taylor with Mr. Johnnie Ballentine, then the bride and groom, halting under an arch of green in which hung that emblem of luck, a large white four leav ed clover. The decorations were chiefly southern smilax, violets taking a prominent part, especially in table decoration, the centre piece being violets and fern with tall crimson carnations. The bride was verv pretty in a cream "swazette" with all over lace i over satin and applique trimming, and carried a shower bouquet of pansy violets. Quite a number of relatives and friends were present and showed their appreciation of this young couple by the number of nice presents they received. May their jourpey over the rough hills of life be a happy one. C. From Bull Swamp.

Adieu for the present. Jan. 20. A Senior Student. Lror Attacks Cannon. Washington, Jan. 29.?Representative Lever of South Carolina stirred up a hornet's nest when he offered to the agricultural appropriation bill an amendment appropriating ?3,000,000 for the purchase of the Appalachianand White mountain forest reserves. He said 12 States were interested in the movement and many governors had personally solicited the speaker of the house to permit the bill coming before the body on its merits. But through mysterious influence, the speaker was continuing to hold the bill up and he wanted the country to know the facts about the measure. Mr. Tawney objected to the personal attack on the speaker and said he would object to further consideration. "Oh, it is not a personal attack on the speaker," replied Mr. Lever. "It's an outspoken statement as to where the objection to the bill is. Personally I have profound regard for the speaker, but he and some of his henchmen are blocking consideration of this bill and by the gods I propose that the people shall know it." Mr. Tawney replied that he was not questioning the motives af the gentleman from South Carolina, but he was questioning the language used. Mr. Lever tried to make it appear that the agricultural committee was nnonimAnoltr iv-i nf tVia Kill V?nt UUUAAAUAVUOiJ All I tt > vi VI U1V Vili) UUU Mr. Haughen of Iowa, with considerable warmth, replied that he had not voted in favor of the measure and he gave notice that he would vote against it if the bill should ever get before the house. "You vote against four-fifths of the propositions that come before this house," hotly replied Mr. Lever. Mr. Wadsworth made a point of or-' dec against the amendment, which was sustained, but not until Mr. Lever had been heard.
