A BRILLIANT WEDDING Mjss Beryl Beam United in Marriage with Thomas W. Smith, Bethel Hill, N. C, Sept. 22.

The ceremony took place on a rais ed platform -carpetei in white with a back ground of evergreens banked with ferns and potted plants, golden rod and chrysanthemums. Near the center a double arch was erected from which hung a large evergreen heart, surrounded by a border of yellow Ehrysanthemums. In the center of this heart were two white turtle doves with outstretched wings holding in their backs the entwined letters S. and B. Under the evergreen arches at the end of the two aisles-were white gates fastened with wide, white rib bons, separating tho bridal scene from the m?in part of the church. There were opened and held by the active jushers. Cooper A. Hall, of Woodsdale,! N.

The groomsmen all in- full evening dress, were R. Bruce Woody, of Bethel Hill; C. F. Reynolds, of Danville, and the brothers of the bride, G. M. Beam, of Louisburg, and H. M. Beam, of New York. Mrs. P. H. Fontaine presided at the organ and as the thrilling tones of Mendelssohn's Wedding March pealed forth, down one aisle came tow brides maids, who passed just outside to the rear cf the double arch, meeting two groomsmen, who had come down the othre aisle to the opposite side and. one at a time, alternately crossed un der the arch to the front, taking posi tions on either side. These were fol lowed by the two other bridesmaids and groomsmen, who likewise came down opposite aisles, and passed un der the arch from the rear to positions on either side, all forming a double semi-circle. Then came the groom with his best man, I. Thurston Bendall, of Danville, v.'ho took their places at the side of the double arch and awaited the ap proach of the bride, who was preced ed by her sister and maid of honor, Miss Gladys Beam, gowned in white silk net over cream satin, wearing a pictuie hat of white velvet, and carry- WANTED!

At the double arch the bride's fath er gave her to the groom and took husband and wife, following which her father led in a tender and toucch ing prayer, imparting his blessing with a loving kiss and fond embrace. Visitors from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Mosten of 'Greens boro, N. C, Mr. and Mrs. R. W Smith, Mrs. N. M. Norton, and Frank Bendall, of Danville. Just before the ceremony these with all who took part in the wedding were guests at a bui- feht luncheon given by "the bride's parents. While friends were viewing the nu merous presents si cut-glass, china, silver, rugs and other valuable gifts the bride donned her traveling suit of midnight blue broadcloth, trimmed with wide bands of fur, and velvet ha tto match and with the groom left in an automobile for Danville, where thev boarded the midnight train for New York and other northern points.

LIFT A CORN OFF WITHOUT PAIN f Cincinnati authority tells how to dry up a corn or callus so it lifts off with fingers. . You corn-pestered men and women need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes that nearly killed you before, says this Cincinnati authority, because a few drops of freezone applied directly on a tender, aching corn or callus, stops soreness at once and soon the corn or hardened callus loosens so it can be lifted out root and all, without pain. A small bottle of freezone cost very little at anv drug" store, but will posi tively take off every hard or soft corn or callus. This should be tried, as it is inexpensive and fs said not to irritate the surrounding skin. If your druggist hasn't any freezone tell him to get a small bottle fro you from his wholesale -drug house. It is fine stuff and acts like a charm every time.

FIVE MILES -TRENCHES Fort Oglethorpe, Ga Sept. 23, 1917. Dear School Children: If the editor of the Courier will per mit, I would like to give to the school children of Person county a short sketch of 'fife at Fort Oglethorpe. I have chosen you young people who are in school," not because I have any spite against you at all, but because I have spent my life among you up to the present, and I do not know how to talk to any one else. I always thought I was a pretty good disciplinarian until I came here. But I have found out that I did not know how to keep order at all. In the army there is but one thing expect ed of recruits, and that is obedience. And I do not have to obey as the majority of you young people have to obey. You are very often allowed to take the privilege of saying what you think before any decision is reached. Here an officer tells us what he thinks of us, and we are not allowed to make any answer to him. To make an ans wer would mean a sentence in the guard house. The wise keep silent, no matter how unjust we think the decision is. There is nothing else, to do. I wonder how many of ycu do not liko certain articles of food. I re member several of ou who have said V0J dW not eat tert:iin thins- If vou! v.-al, garden peas, parsnips, and seve ral dish5!? before 1 came here. I not Only e:.t those same things now but I am I'd ad to get them. A few days past I ate cabbage out of a soldiers' kit that had not been washed since ge th? last meal, and that was one 0f.wllh local applications, as they the best meals I ever ate. After all. it isn't th cfood that is not good. All the trouble is with us. We just are not hungry. My greatest hardship here is in dressing. I have to get up at 5:15, and at 5:25 I have to answer roll call. I have onlyten minutes in which to dress, and it is no easy task to put on a soldier's togs in ten minutes. I would ordinarily get up early to allow myself ample time, but here we can not get up until reveille, at 5:15. A soldier must not waste time. Our work is much tobacco than the work in the first Reserve Officers' Training Camp. We have already cov ered in four weeks what the first camp covered in two months. Those who cannot keep the pace set must drop out. I am expecting a perman ent leave of absence soon, for the pace is terrific. We work from 5:15 in the morning till nine at night. One of our Lieutenants said to one of the candidates who appeared to be lag ging: "Why worry, you have from 12:15 until on? to do as you please." He was about correct in this, except that about half the time we are call ed out to do something during that fifteen minutes. ine worK last week was the most interesting that we have had, for it looked like the real thing: We dug trenshes for the first three days of the week. You may get some idea of the trencher when I tell you that there are about five miles of there trenches, and that they cost Uncle Sam $75,000 to have them dug and equipped. They had telephones and regular telephone operators, dugouts, and everything that a modern trench has, except electric lights. On Friday morning my battalion went into the trenches and fought the enemy for WANTED!

We used the regular army rifle with blandk, .30 calibre-shells. Those of you who have never had as good a time as you woujd like to have, try shooting all night and. all day in a drizzling rain. It is great. Perhaps I shall tell you at some other time of a few of my miss steps f&s a friend in the first camp so ap- Dropriately named them. W. M. ROGERS. ' WHAT'S THE REASON? Many Roxboro People in Poor Health Without Knowing the Cause. There are scores of people who drag out a miserable existence without realizing the cause of their suffering. Day after day they are racked with backache and headaches; suffer from nervousness, dizziness, weakness, lan guor and depression.
