In resources we ^re v far rir.her titan we have ever been, and far richer than the people of anv 'ther nation. To our country an appeal has come for men and money, means for earrylng on the war. Th rt more means we furnish, as Senator Tillman snys^ the fewer men we will v have to semi, and the mon promptly the means become avail able. the more lives of our young men will doubtless be- saved. All of us Tan not go to w'arr. Some of us are above the. age limit, others are tied at home by ties which have first claim to our services, and oth; »rs are incapacitated for one cause or another. Rut thero is a service each tind all can render for the com mon good. which is as much a paf^ riotic duty as going to the front. One of the. oBfmrtun^ies which all the people may render in the vext few, days is that of buying a Liberty Rond. Will the people of the country respond as the citizens Ocroiarfy have responded timo nfter. time when called upon bv theii / .e* . government? .We shall see. Oen- rral U r oOd says the war will possi bly be a long war which may la«* rs long as our Was. Retween th« Staff s lasted. To, nipporr the gov ernment it is essential that fund.< be provided, anti the slogan ha- been suggested of one bond buye- f. r *-teiy man {Mt.■ registered. The local hanks deserve credit tor the liberal way in which thev have made it possible for anyone i > own a Liberty Rond. See them at once and secure a bond for the aid of the government.

The following account, of tfig mar : riage of Misa Juanita Fickling and Mr. C. M.

Miss Tweedie Fickling. the popular home demonstration agent for thla county. Misa Fickling accompan ies! by Misses Josie and Mattie Still, cousins of the bride, attended the marriage. North, - June 9.—A wedding of considerable Interest took place on. Wednesday mon^ng at the North Baptist .church, when Miss Juanitg Elizabeth Fickling was married to Mr. Cleo M. Ward. The ceremonv- and decorations were intended to be as simple as possible. The pdfpit stand was completely hidden in pine tops, bamboo vines and pink and white crepe paper drapery, pink and white being the color scheme. Pot ferns aided the other decorations. A large white bell fastened witty a full bow of the pink and ■/hlte pa per was suspended over the electric light just above the heads of the bride axd groom. This - vaV con; nerted by pink and white drapery to lights suspended over an arch on either side of the church. The arches—one at the front of each of the two~aiples—were draped in pink snd white paper and bamboo vines. In the middle of the i^rch under which the bride passed was su*j pended a large "F.” from the other urch a large "W” hung. No other decorations were used except ’ vas« .a of cut.flowers. The effect was very si mote hrd pretty. The ceremonv began promotlv at ]u o’cloik. when' Mr. Hr'Jud-on “E'ckling. the bridejs brother.
