F. G. Herbert was the officiating min
ister
This announcement came as a sur
prise to. Dr. Bruce's many friends in
Camden where he has spent many
ytffirs of his life and is well and
favorably known. .
Mrs. Bruce is the daughter of the
Rev. G. R. Whitaker, of Cartersville,

The Civic League.
One of the important organizations
of the city is the Civic League. The
cultivation of natural beauty is not
the -Whole of its purpose, but it
seeks to promote all things that are
for community welfare. Its total end
and aim is the production of whole
some, useful and joyous community
life. A flourishing Civic League will'
accomplish much more than will ap
pear in pleasant lawns, flower gar
dens, parks and fountains. It will cul
tivate the feeling of neigfoborlipess
throughout tlhe town and foster the
spirit of sociall service. It will bring
the people together with a new sense
of fellowship of common responsibil
ity for the general welfare, not only
for one's own immediate surroundings
or for one's own circle of friends, but
for all the people t for the humblest
and the least conspicuous homes as
wcfll as those more favored. He Who
h$lpe.te create a better environment
loir n)6n to live in is accomplishing
; avfl'tfc task. Our public buildings,
parks and library all exert influence
in the making of character. There
fore, the Civic League should be of
interest to every individual in Cam
den. Mrs. William Ancrum, the
Leagtf* "president, has recently re
turned and 'will call a meeting at the
regular time, the second Monday in
October. In the meantime, (however,
she is 'to get up a play for the benefit
of the League. And we take this oc
casion to bespeak for her the hearty
co-operation of the people. Individ
ualities may form communities, but
?it is institutions and organizations
alone that can make a city. You may
be a big taxpayer aryi yet worth very
little to your community. It is the
men and women who put their shoul
ders to the wh?e\ he*p things on
by giving their influence and material
aid that make things happen and that
are missed when they are gone.
