Mr. Clary s a young widower of the Macedonia section and is qute pop ular, while Miss Mathis is the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Mathis* and is quite popular, having a large class in the Ravenna Sunday School, and one of the most lovely young ladies of the Ravenna neighborhood. Mr. Floyd Karl Goforth and Miss Leila Mathis, and Mr. Jim Clary and Miss Ila Mathis were the waiters, while Mrs. Bertha Mathis was the maid of honor, and carried out the ceremonies beautifully. Immediately after Mr. Hamrick, in a few beauti ful words, made them one for life, the bride and groom received the con gratulation^ of their friends. A large dinner was spread and all then “took on” a bountiful sup ply of rations. We extend our congratulations to this happy couple, and from reports the other Misses Mathis are engaged property and m a y soon change their names. The bride and groom returned to Macedonia Thursday, where they will make their future home. Several of our young people went with them to Macedonia. Death of a Good Woman. Mrs. Harriet Petty, widow of the late C. C. Petty, died at her home about two miles out from the west ern secton of the city, on Wednes day, January 1st. She had been in delicate health for some time, and recently she developed pneumonia, from which she died within eleven days. Mrs. Petty was born March SI, | 1854. She married Mr. C- C. Petty i on December 27. 1870. This union was blessed with seven sons and four i daughter*. Three daughters and two sons are married, with seven | children. Mr. Petty died several years ago. Mrs. Petty united with the Baptist jchu-ch at Providence in early life. She lived an exemplary Christian life and died triumphant in the faith. We feel that she has entered into the heavenly fellowship of her Sav iour. While she w-as with us we thought of her as suffering, but now we think of her not only released from pain, but as rejoicing in the i fullness of that sweet and abundant life which flows from the throne of God. We do well to give those up I whom God would take from earth to I heaven, and in our turn to follow ' after"them. T. ! You will hear unsuccessful people talk a good deal about luck and fortune, bat it is ill bosh. Fortune is merely the good, hard sertie that causes a man to prepare himself to tak-f D advantage of opportunity. Don’t be fooled, by silly tales of prosperity, dealt out by the '.land of fortune. The hand of fortune is a bank book ami the person who has provided himself with a nice, fat bank account is in position to carve his own fortune and make it what he wishes. It may take (some economy, thiift and perseverence to establish a good bank account, but it always pays u the end. A small amount of cash will enable you to open an account with this bank, where your moneyjwill be absolutely safe and where you may always de pend upon the advice and influence of the bank to help your business interest*..
