There MUST Be a Reason a c m . r 7 Bass ONE DOLLAR PEE YEAR Ttie ii- Miss Eusebia RoBards and Mr. William Alexander Keith were married at St. James Episcopal Church, today (Wednesday) at three o'clock and that pretty church has never been the scene of a prettier wedding than this. The interior of the sacred edi fice was a bower of beauty, the decorations of potted ' plants, Southern smilax and white car nations producing a superb ef fect. The bride, the only, daughter of Mrs. W. O. RoBards, looked very charming in her gown of white lingerie, made with a sweeping train, with veil and orange blossoms and carrying a bouq iet of white roses. The 'bridesmaid, Miss Bessie cjtppdman, wore an effective Em- Dire gown of pink silk, with - a pink picture nai ana carneu pm carnations. Dr. John RoBards, of Ken tucky, gave the bride away. Mr. H. L. Keith, of Atlanta, a brother of the groom, was best man, and Mr. Michael Schenck, Mr. Robert RoBards and Mr. James Waldrop were ushers. Promptly at three o'clock the bridal party entered the church to the melody of that immortal Wedding March from Lohengrin. Proceeding to the altar they were joined by the groom, and Rev. R. N. Willcox read the solemn and beautiful words of the Epis copal Church service which made them one. The music rendered during the service was as follows: . Wedding March from Lohen- grin.

The tremendous growth of the Hustler's advertising patronage has rendered this necessary. It is hoped to make this improvement a permanent one. At least it will be given a fair trial. FAITH 111 CABBAGES! Tom Zachary, of Cashiers, who has been growing cabbage and other seed for 45 years past, was in town last week. Mr. ; Zachary raised $2040 worth .of cabbage seed, six bush els, last year, from one acre of ground. His seeds are fine and all will be sold, which means that $l;440,000fworth of luscious cab-, bage will be grown from these six bushels. One million, four hundred and forty thousand dollars, worth think of it! y. This is putting the selling price of each cabbage at the low average of ten cents each, when, as a matter of fact, twenty cents would be nearer right. One ounce of this seed will raise $300 worth of cabbage. One pound, $4800, one bushel, $240,000, and the six bushels nearly a million and a half dollars, worth at ten cents, each.' Henderson county is admitted ly the home of the cabbage. Here.it grows naturally and at tains its fullest and most entran cing possibilities and just why the farmers of Henderson coun ty are not riding in all kinds of honk wagons as a result of grow ing cabbages is one of the mys teries of the ages Tom Zachary has been grow ing these seeds for 45 years. His father, who cut the first road into that beautiful country where they live, raised them be fore him, and one of the charac teristics of his cabbage is that they keep for 12 months. There ought to be from $500 to $1000 worth of cabbage raised from every acre planted in this county, which would soon make of Henderson county farmers bloated capitalists and bond holders. Sweetly solemn thought: Modi, and the world knocks with you, Boost, and you boost alone. But what do we care, If a little warm air, - Helps Hendersonmue boom ????????? ?????????? RS ON V 1 LLE . N .
