Bickett In tha call to buy Victory Bonds honor grips hard. To achieve the victory we pledged our lives, our property and our sacred honor. The pledge of life has been fully redeemed. The blood cost of victory was paid with solemn pride. To fail or falter in meeting the money cost would immediately brand us with infamy and ultimately mark us for destruction. Our sacred honor drives us to offer our property as freely aa our soldiers offered their lives. They fought a good fight. We must keep the faith or wither in fires of self- contempt. The Imperial German Government asserted that a solemn obligation was but a scrap of paper, and that Government has been consigned to the scrap heap of civilization. God is not mocked and this nation will surely become as Nineveh and Tyre if we keep back the price of our redemption. No nation can survive that advertises to the world that it holds money dearer than manhood, and while it was willing to sacrifice the only eon it cannot spare the firstlings of the flocks. I beseech all ministers of the Gospel and all men and women of every class and condition who have faith in the final perseverance of moral values to enlist in the great Victory Loan Campaign to the end that our national honor may be redeemed and our' destiny secured. At the home of Mrs. Augusta Cathey, on Wednesday afternoon, at four o'clock, the mar- J riage of her daughter Florence, to Earl Moore, was solemnized by Rev. F. O. Dryman, frllowed by a reception and dinner at the home of the bridegroom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Moore. The following guests were present: Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Terrell, sister of the bride. Miss Mattie and Richard Cathey, Mrs. T. R. Hyatt, aunt of the bride, the Misses Katherine Cathey, Alice Hardin, Evelyn Keeter; W. M. Wright, James Sheffield, Mark Cathey, Mrs. Virge Penland and the bridegroom's sister, Miss Nita Moore of Muscles Shoals, Ala. The bride is a popular and winsome young lady and the bridegroom one of ohe most prosperous young farmers in the county. They will take up their residence near Woodrow. The dinner served by the parents of the bridegroom was of the good', old fashioned kind, included everything and all "did eat and Were happy." The Enterprise extends congratulations.

Canton Widely Advertised By the extraordinary enthusiasm, patriotic endeavor and and spirit of sacrifice manifested by her citizeus in their almost unanimous impetuous rushes over the top in wartime whenever their country beckoned, the citizens of Canton have earned for her fame and name as lasting and as fair as that of any town in the country, "from the rock bound coast of Maine to the sunkist shores of California."
