Atlanta Journal of Sunday. { A wedding of much interest to At- j ianta and Montgomery friends was j that of Mr. George Marshall, of; Montgomery, and Miss Mamie Ryan | Payne, of Atlanta. The ceremony ft took place Sunday afternoon, February 8th, at 4 o'clock, at the resi dence of Rev. Henry Alford Porter, l pastor of the Second Baptist church, | in the presence of a few friends and ' relatives. Miss Maude Sanders was maid of j honor and Mr. Marshall was attended by his brother, Mr. Hugh Marsftaii, as best man. Miss Payne entered with Mrs. F. A. j Golden, by whom she vas given in marriage and with whom she has made her home for several years, j coming originally from Newberry, S. C. Miss Payne was attired in a brown duvetyn coat suit,, a chic: brown hat and accessories to match * a# nrViifa mean ana wore a wxsa^c u* Mr. Marshall was formerly con-nected with the Atlanta Georgian and" has many friends here who will bej interested in his marriage. Miss Payne is an extremely popu-j lar young lady, with many charming traits of character, and has for i 4.^ j i many years ueeu cutmctau mm mt office of H. M. Atkinson, of the Georgia Railway and Power company, in a responsible position, and has A many warm friends here. j Immediately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Marshall left for Montgomery, where they will make their future home, much to the regret of ' their many friends. i ??*- ?. . / > ? T :ni. A iriDUie to uur L,:;i:e . , Just two weeks ago, the angel of death came ar.d took from us our little sister, Oilie. She was just twelve years of age, but though hor stay was short, there is no other one could fill a greater place in cur hearts and lives than she. We loved her but God took her and we love her more. It was like walking ? i in & gardeh and taking away the loveliest rose, but we feel that una like the rose that withers she is transplanted in a preserving atmo-; sphere where no withering winds can blight the oetals or lessen the beauty of our dear little sister, Ollie. This life would be dreary indeed, if ' we felt this was the end of all. But I we have an inward consciousness asj well as outward evidence that she is j elsewhere doing for others, for her chief delight was in forgetting self j and helping others. Especially did \ she crave playing with little ones' smaller than herself. Our help must come from God in order to bear th:s. great affliction and separation and we will be brave and bear up for her sake, for it is so characteristic of. Ollie to be brave and glad and while tortured with pain, and seemed to know the end was near she smiled and never complained. Even th.ou.~h the sunshine of the home is gone, we know she is in the everlasting arms. There are thousands of things da'ly j occurring to remind us of her loyalty r and love to us, and when our hearts almost burst with grief, a hush falls upon our childish cries, a calm steals over our hearts, and we feel that she is so happy that we would not have her back again to suffer as we saw cnfTpr Tn liv?r>cr t.aiifht us how to live. In dying she taught us > how to die. Her sisters, Nannie Grace Cromer. j Ada Cromer. Eva Cromer. i "Bloomin' Hingrate," Britishers in Street Term Carter Glass. \ >.

At a meeting j of the quarterly conference recently ; the enterprise was launched and in a j short time subscriptions aggregating j $17,000 were secured. The new j church is to cost about $25,000. It j will have an excellent auditorium oe-1 sides a Sunday school assembly room j and several class rooms. This space j can all be thrown together, accom- j modating five hundred people. The | success of the enterprise is due to the enthusiasm of the officials and members of the church.

PLEASE PASS THE ONIONS | By James Henry Rice, Jr. jThere is no way of knowing what j was the first vegetable used for food j by the human race. Fruits took pre- j cedence naturally Because ox meu-, sugar contents; after that it is pure speculation. The fact is known beyond dispute,1 however, and duly recorded that the onion was among the very first.:, Onions are grown around Baghdad to- j day by Arabs just as they w^re j grown in the times of Sargon and! t)?Ancon^Q nf venrs before the - AlVdU^ UiVUWTWAtUW V* ^ ? ? Christian Era, and grown pretty much in the same way, that is to say, the seed are plsfrited in beds, removed whfen the size of a goose-quill and transplanted in the alluvial bottoms, j where they are irrigated from the ! river and weeded by hand. .-J Except in minor details the process crrnwinc onions is the same in the Yangste valley and in the Nile valley. In all these places onions are eaten green and dried, used for condiments or for rendering palatable other : dishes. Condiments and made dishes belong only to the rich and well-to-do. The poor are content to get the onion ,A 1 ?? A trvifoi* even sail is a luxury, -t. icuciik S. S. Leader: Veiled Mysteries of Egypt, New York, 2913, gives this curious information as to the onion: "The onicn (and garlic to a lesser degree), is much appreciated, through many Moslems, Ihi^riir^ of the Prophet's des estation of the smell of them, will only eat '.hem when they can be sure of wasYrir mouth and hands at once, especially if prayer time be r.esr; they believe the odor will can so the guardian angels to stay at a distance from them, and thus they would lose their good offices." This aplies to i?Io?!ems only. The Egyptian, anchored in the unchanging lotos land; follows the habits and customs of his ancestors. In the food accounts of slaves who erected the great Pyramids, which have recently been discovered, onions and radishes figured largely on the bill of fare. The onion was cultivated in Egypt from remote antiquity and one species, allied to lotos bulbs, was sacred to Ra and had divine honors. August de fhrmorVif flip nnion a native vaiiuviiv. vnvu^?*? v..w - , of Asia Minor, arguing from linguistic evidences in Hebrew and Sanskrit; but in India, China and Japan it has been grown for millennia. Accounts ] of its culture are among the most ancient records extant in those countries. Likewise in Britain the onion has l been grown from the most ancient times and may have been carried there by Phoenicians in search of tin. ; ti- r,, 1 Anynow uaius juhus vuuscu ituuu n> there when he landed an^ feasted on it. j' In the absence of scientific information men had to jro on experience; if they should eat indigestible food, , they died like flies. What was <?.ood to the taste and nourishing to the . system they seized on. Thus, in the - * i x v . J_ dawn of time it was iounn xnat . onions, especially when covered with oil and vinegar, were good for a man, kept him strong and healthy. Our forbears went no further. They had found a good thing; they stuck to it; and handed it down the ages. In the light of present knowledge, nothing better has been found than this combination, to which pepper and ' salt may be added, if one's taste craves it. i j It may be safely asserted that the average man who suffers from indi- ^ gestion, and has trouble after eating, ^ will find his troubles vanish, if he, will eat raw onions regularly. He may not think so. A prejudice, against onions is acquired, and one may imagine all sorts of things about ^ them; but a plain trial is enough to . convince. j1 Among other ingredients, the onion has a high sulphur content and from ^ immemorial aeres sulphur has been < found to be without a rival as a tonic i and a medicine, the one difficulty has been to eret it to yield up its proper-! ties. Sulphur is h:.rd to dissolve; but the onion has accomplished the feat and made it soluble; ycu have only to e~t the onion to <re'. your quantum of sulphur and your release from trouble. Dicer common v/'tus a,-e unkr.cw i n-r.'ve the ouicn :s p;:rt of <*\c regular 'ere. ! Thv.? ohl:: ati?:n :r in.v ' v.r on this f?:ct. Ti.v'/e is eri>ely loo ; much dypepsia* in this country and too much of what we call nervous trouble. There are many good vegetables. I like every one that grows, some better than others. There are also many wholesome fruits, the grape, apple and orange probably being most important. With all this no vegetable or fruit takes the place of the onion in cnnnnwv c,f the human svstem. There is also a method of instantly removing all smell from the breath after eating onions, (but I acquired this in confidence and can not impart it. They formed part of the diet of Semiramis, Zenobia and Cleopatra; Lalla Rookh may have eaten- them at intervals between the hours of prayer, for they were common diet in the Vale of Cashmere then, as they are now. They were relished by Ninon de I'Enclos and Madame Recamier, and Mary, Queen of Scots, grew up at a court where onions were served daily and she must have eaten them. Queen * ? - 1 JtilizaDetn certainly uiu auu taucu them "ing-uns." In Spain and Portugal, lands of chivalry, onions have always been highly regarded; and it may be noted that dyspepsia is unknown in these countries. There should be millions of bushels of onions grown on the South Carolina cpast, and if the subject is Btudied an industry may be built up. It must be studied; for rushing into it blindfolded is sure to entail disaster. > r * One memorable "year certain parties around Port Royal planted onions, acres and acres of onions. These were picked green and shipped to Savannah, the effect of which was to bury that devoted Georgia town under a mound of green onions. All the beasts and birds, added to all the people there could not possibly have eaten such quantities of onions. Very shortly they began to rot and the municipality fought for life. Red tape was cut out. It was wonderful to see the celerity displayed by ordinary city functionaries under a compelling necessity, for hour by hour the incense, so to speak, rose to the heavens, causing ar> exodus to the I? 1 e of Hope of staid citizens, never known to pass beyond city limits. But at last the -was done and the odor slowly drifted seaward and became ore with the universe. The Port Royal growers swore there was nothing in onion growing for they had tried it; and the wrathful Georgians served notice that they had better not try it on tnem a second time. The South Carolina coast is pecu-' liarly well adapted for the production of onions on a large scale and irriga- j tion is unnecessary. Onions, like! other vegetables, have better keeping qualities when grown without irrigation. They have likewise a finer flox.rti- Our winf-prs ars so mild that na v vif x/ vax ? ? _ onions, once firmly rooted, will pass the winter without injury. Some' record cold snaps have killed young; onions; but if the seed had been sown in September or early October the plants would always be able to re-; sist such cold as we have. Seed are sown from a planter, being dropped at four-inch intervals. Transplanting is not necessary in this region as Prof. C. C. Newman has ?hown and as his father. Col. J. S. VT J ^ V>l m iNewman, (imiiuiisnabcu It is not a catch crop, nor a getrich-quick scheme. A man may, and almost certainly will, amass a comfortable fortune growing: onions in an ordinary lifetime; and some men have become millionaires at the business. These were, of course, men of large executive capacity. There is an advantage in produc- ( ng a staple crop, marketable through- j out the year, for onions, properly cured will keep more than a year except the tenderest varieties which require earlier marketing. Pnf ><; tlin ?tands. I am not " ' I acquainted with a man on the coast; that has enough onions for his j family's use all the year round, and j this is in keeping with the usual im-! providence of coast farmers, who, in-1 tent on reaching the rainbow's end, | often forget what is right around! them. The glittering dream has a j lure alien to the common task. To return, however, to the main object of this article, if people will sat more onions (raw onions, of :ourse), they will be healthier and iiappier. The young who have health !n excess of their requirements may iisregard this advice. Young men ana young women, especially young women, eat things ;hat ought to kill a horse and suffer 10 discomfort. A mixture of jams, salads, and the Lo-d knows what else, ; s devoured with relish, the mere sight )f which is enough to send a man to :he hospital.
