GOETH-DITTMAR.
Wednesday night St. Mark's churchy
was crowded with relatives and friends
who gathered to witness the nuptials
of Miss Lily Edith Dittmar, daughter
of Mrs. Emma Dittmar, ana Dr. Rich
ard Antonio Goeth, of Boerne.
The high standing and popularity
of the young people made the event
one of unusual interest. The bride
has lived all of her life in San Antonio
and is a favorite among a large circle
of friends. The groom is a prominent
young physician of Boerne, who al-
ready stands high in his profession.
The church was prettily trimmed with
palms and potted plants that made an
artistic setting for the bridal party.
The bride, who

was given away by
her uncle, Dr. Ferdinand Herff, Sr.,
wore a lovely gown of white satin and
carried a biquet of bride roses. Miss
Mattie Dittmar, the maid of honor,
was in white organdie, as were also
the bridesmaids, Miss Elsie Degner,
Miss Ella Dittmar, Miss Nina Gaens-
len and Miss Alice Herff. Mr. H. R.
Ihrie acted as best man and the
groomsmen were Messrs. Chas. Ditt-
mar, Bruno Dittmar, Max Goeth and
Alfred Duerler. Dean Richardson
pronounced the wedding service in
nls usual impressive manner. The
ushers were Messrs. Eddie Degener,
Adolf Herff, Jr., Ferdinand Herff, Jr.,
and Eckardt Naegli. Immediately
after the services at the church a large
company of relatives repaired to the
home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Em-
ma Dittmar, on Houston1 street, where
a reception was held and an elegant
banquet served. The house had been
elaborately trimmed for the occasion.
The happy couple received the con-
gratulations of their friends standing
beneath a white marriage bell which
was suspended from the arch between
the double parlors. Banks of palms,
bouquets of roses and ropes of smilax
and white flowers which festooned the
ceiling gave the room the appearance
of a fairy bower. In the dining room
a long table was laid. Here were also
very elaborate decorations. A horse-
shoe hung over the center of the table
and at either end Were handsome
floral pieces. Ropes of green and
white in heavy festoons from the ceil-
ing and the table was laden with
many rich confections. This was a
merry gathering and toasts were
drunk to the health, happiness and
prosperity of the newly wedded pair,
The beautiful tributes of love to the
bride and groom formed a most inter-
esting display in the parlor. The ar-
ray of silver and cut glass and other
most beautiful articles was dazzling.
The numerous floral offering from
kind friends, among which the emble-
matic lilies of the valley were con-
spicuous added loveliness to the
splendor of the scene.
The young people skipped the light
fantastic until the band played "Home
Sweet Home" at 12 o'clock.
It was a wedding long to be remem-
bered, for the spirit of joy, happiness
and harmony Which reigned through-
out. The next day the young couple
departed for their lovely mountain
home in Boerne amid showers of rice
and old slippers from friends and rel-
atives who had assembled at the de-
pot:—San Antonio Express, Jan. 8.
That cough of yours may become
serious; why neglect it when a bot-
tle of Dr. Simmons' Cough Syrup
will cure it? Fifty doses for fifty

He Must Be Shifty if He Would Like to
Be Prosperous.
Not long ago a one-horse farmer
from the backwoods came to our
town with two bales of cotton and
sold it for 5 cents a pound. This
was his entire crop and he was
complaining bitterly to one of our
merchants and said that the farm-
ers would perish to death in anoth-
er year if there wasn't some change
for the better. A mischievous
drummer, standing by, said: "My
friend you must quit raising cotton
or else buy some monkeys to pick
it out. Over in India and Egypt
they make the monkeys pick their
cotton, and that is what's the mat-
ter. A monkey will pick a thous-
sand pounds a day and he feeds on
the seed. So it costs hardly any-
thing over there to raise cotton, and
the farmers in Mississippi and
Texas have sent over for a hundred
thousand monkeys aud they will
be over here in time to pick the
next crop and the price will go
lower still, and if you don't get
you a monkey or two you had bet-
ter quit growing cotton, for you
can't"compete with monkeys,"
The old man took it all in seri-
ously, and said: "Well what is the
poor farmer to do, if he hasn't got
the money to buy the monkey? "
"Grow Bom.; ring else," said the
drummer. "Grow corn and wheat
and sorghum and potatoes. Plant
apple and peach trees, raise chick-
ens and eggs,and a yearling calf or
two to sell. Get up soon and stir
around lively, and make every
member of your family work.
Worlc at something, for'if you do
not you will perish out. Go back
home and take a new start. Don't
sit down and grumble and blame
somebody else with your poverty.
Quit cotton until you can buy half
a dozen monkeys."
The man went back home and
circulated the monkey story, and
ten miles around the one-horse far-
mers have sworn off from raising
any more cotton. That's what they
tell me. They say that before the
war the' poor man couldent com-
pete with the rich man's niggers,
and now since he has lost his nig-
gers tie is Buyin' monkeys to take
their places, and the poor man
won't have any chance at all.
Of course there is no truth in this
story, but there is a good deal of
philosophy. New methods, new
plows and new machinery are the
monkeys, and if the poor farmer
does not work early and late he
will keep poor. I know some coun-
try women who make more money
on their chickens, eggs and butter
than their husbands do on their
cotton. Little things well nursed
count up more than big ones. The
thrifty farmer always brings with
him something tosell when he has
to come to towp. Some fowls or
egg8, potatoes, a shote or some fruit
in its season. There is a. good
home market for all these little
things. In fact, if we le&ve out
cotton everything the farmer grows
brings about the same old prices of
ten years ago, and everything he
has to buy is much cheaper now
than it was then. Everything that
is made of cotton is 50 per cent
cheaper and everything made of
iron, steel or tin is 100 per cent
cheaper. Beef, pork, chickens,
turkeys, eggs, wood, potatoes ap-
ples and peaches have not come
down a nickle in ten years. Labor
is a little cheaper, not much. We
still pay the same for cooking and
washing and work in the garden.
If anybody has a reason for com-
plaining of hard times it is the town
people, who have everything to
buy. The farmer who is not in
debt and owns Iiis farm is better
off than be ever was and the pru-
dent renter can pay rent and make
money farming.
But of course there is a large
class of shiftless unthrifty people
who will not succeed at anything,
and they blame everybody for it
but themselves. Cobe says that
the Lord had t# make poor folks to
keep rich folks in jn°ney, an4 po
Cobe is content in being poor, for
it is the Lord's will. I know folks
who have never planted a fruit tree
and who will not even plant a gar-
den. Poverty makes some folks

shifty and others indifferent and
despairing. There is an old negro
woman who comes to our house ev-
ery Saturday and brings us a gal-
lon of big hominy—old fashioned
lye hominy, and it is a luxury.
We pay her 15 cents for it and she

peck of cofrn that costs her 10 cents
makes four pecks of hominy, for
which she gets $1.20, and that
makes her a good living.
I-read in thefastrHome andFarm
about a successful experiment in
growing ginseng, and if I was a far-
mer 1 would try it. This was in
Kentucky, where a man planted it
in a well-shaded forest of beach and
dogwood and gum trees, and- it
grew both from the seed and-the
roots that he planted and gave him
a good crop. Its market price is
$4 a pound. I know that it could
be grown in this mountainous re.
gion, among the foothills. I know
a good farmer who makes money
growing turnips for their seed, and
he sells all his crop to Peter Hen-
derson, of New York, and Peter
sells it back to us at 500 per celit
profit. Any smart, industrious
woman could make money right
here by growing roses and hothouse
plants. Our people send off lots
of money for such things and some
of then^are no account when they
get here.
Nobody around here has ever
raised any asparagus to sell, but
they buy it in Atlanta at 25 cents a
bunch and bring it hoine, or they
buy it canned from the grocer at
35 cents. A man in Marietta
grows it by the acre for the Atlanta
market and makes big money.
Why not grow it here? Shifty is
the right word—we must be shifty
if we would keep up with the pro-
gress of the times. Wit and wis-
dom are very noble qualities, but
necessity is the mother of invention
and contrivance. We must get out
of the old ruts and learn of our nor-
thern brethren. N ew Englan d girls
sit around the fire every night and
plait straw for hats and bonnets
and baskets and chair bottoms, and
they have a good time talking
about their nabore and naborhood
news. Why shouldent our girls
many places, for they are smart
and quick and don't drink or
smoke, and I am amazed and in-
dignant to read that 200 of them
have been turned out of employ-
ment by a great railroad company
in Chicago. I don't understand
that. I hope Mrs. Lowe will in-
vestigate it.—Bill Arp in Atlanta
