“It’s beginning to look as if little
Jeff was right when he remarked that
England is ready to fight to the last
Frenchman,'* observes The Barnwell
People. It does not seem to us that a
casualty list of 258,000 indicates that
"even with her relatively tfhy
ay, has boon remiss in her duty to
And as for “little Jeff,” it
i to some that this epigram
and many others by himself and his
lanky colleague were calmly appropri
ated without credit from various para-
graphers and jokesmiths.
Thus does Bob Oonsales, of the State-
paper, valiantly come to the defence of
that dear England. The casualty list
soeaks well for the bravery of the
Brittah troops, but we respectfully sub
mit that “her relatively tiny army” in
what inspired “little Jeff's" epigram,
“lifted" though It may have been.
According to recent official figures,
the British Empire has a population of
>06,294,752. It would be interesting to
know what is the casualty list of France,
with a population, including her colo
nies, of only 92,631,325.
And we might remark in passing that
our sympathies are, and have been
since the beginning of the war, with
the Triple Entente.
One of the most beautiful weddings
of the season was that of Miss Olivia
Belle Harley, of this city, and Mr.
George H. Peeples, of Estill, which
occurred at ten o’clock on the evening
of 9th inst. at the loving suty#ban
residence of the bride’s parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Alonza E. Harley, the Rev. S.
W. Henry officiating.
The house was artistically decorated
with ferns and palms. The color
scheme was carried out well with an
abundance of roses and sweet peas,
the house being a perfect bower of
flowers and oresenting the appearance
of a veritable fairyland while the lawn
and driveways shone with the dreamy
lights of many lanterns, when promptly
\ at the appointed hour wedding
’ march was skillfully rendered by Mrs.
Bessie Bates and the bridal party en
tered the spacious parlor in the follow
ing order: The beautiful bride, wear
ing a most stylish and becoming travel
ing suit of putty color with accessories
to match and carrying in her arms a
gorgeous bouquet of ferns and sweet
peas, entered with her maid of honor,
Miss Ruby Attaway, who was lovely in
a handsome gown of pink crepe meteor
over net; next came the proud groom
with Mr. W. D. Harley, brother of the
bride, and as the impressive ceremony
was being said Miss Nelle Smith sang
softly, “O Perfect Day."
Many loving friends were gathered
in that hospitable home on the happy
occasion when the fair bride gave her
gentle hand and trusting heart into the
safe lifekeeping of one so well worthy
of so charming and accomplished a
partner in the journey of a happy pros
perous life. That the future may
hold only the sunshine of happiness is
the sincere wish of all who have known
the lovely bride and who have known
the noble, generous character of the
groom, who is the only son of Mr. and
Mrs. George H. Peeples, of Estill and
a highly successful business mas.
After sincere congratulations were
given the happy couple left for Wash
ington to spend their honeymoon, and
the recollections of that evening of soft
lights and sweet music and rippling
merriment of laughing happiness will
long be pictured in the unforgetting
memories of the friends of Mr. and
Mrs. Peeples.
Among the out-of-town guests pre-
i sent were: Dr. and Mrs. Rhodes, Mr.
and Mrs. Yeomans, and Mrs. Peeples,
of Estill; Mrs. Johnson, of Savannah;
Mias Smith, of Johnson; Norman Ellis
and Gallic Anderson, of Martin.
“Who’s man is Wilson, anysr^y?
asks Wm. Eberhard, a GERM AN-ameri-
can of Charleston, in a particularly
bitter attack on the President. To be
perfectly frank, we don't know, but it
is quite evident that Kaiser Bill hasn’t
any lien on him.
The present illness of King Constan
tine of Greece is said to have been
caused by a blow delivered by his Ger
man wife (a sister of the Kaiser) in the
course of a heated argument about the
war. Some fighters, those Germans.
There’s only one better man than the
man who gets behind and pushes in
an effort to improve the town and that’s
the mad who goes ahead and pulls. Be
one of the leader? if you can, but
anyway keep up!
There can be no question as to where
the sympathies of the Saluda Standard’s
editor lie. Harken to what he says:
“All gall is divided into three parts,
Dernburg, Bernstorff and Wilhelm.’’
With war .clouds on the horizon, many
an editorial heart is glad that it does
not beat under the gold lace of a staff
colonel.
In spite of all that has been said
about grape juice we are beginning to
