Palmer-Lewis.
On Thursday morning, March IS,
at S'oO o click, W. H. Palmer of
Breckinridge and Miss Ferrell Lewis
cf I ar.ipasas were married at the
home of Rev. and Mrs. J. W. Cowan
of ;aly, Texas.
P ior to the ceremony Miss Dora
Morton of Italy played “Berceuse”
from “Jocelyn” on the violin, accom-
panied on the piano by Miss Lucile
Morton, who played Mendelssohn’s
“Wedding March.” Louise Ethridge,
lovely little daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
W. B. Ethridge, dressed in fluffy flesh-
tinted crepe, preceded the bridal cou-
ple, strewing their pathway with pink
and white blossoms.
Slow]y, to the strains of the Wed-
ding march the bride and groom were
seen approaching, unattended, along
a vista made attractive by greenery
and subdued pink lights.
They paused under an archway,
artistically draped with white maline,
caught here and there with sprays of
sweet peas, and flanked by tall bas-
kets of ferns and roses.
Rev. J. W. Cowan, pastor of the
Italy Methodist Church, apd long a
valued friend of Miss Lewis, officiated
with the iqng ceremony.
During the ceremony “Traumeri”
was played softly on violin and piano.
The bride was most attractive in
a dress of blue crepe and wearing a
close-fitting hat, trimmed with pastel
shaded flowers. She carried on her
left arm a sheaf of white carnations
and lacy ferns. The groom wore
conventional black and a boutonniere
of carnation and fern.
Following the ceremony a delicious
breakfast course was served under
soft lights in the dining room. Only
a few resident friends of the bride
i were present. Out of town guests
were Mrs. Virginia Hall of Lampasas,
and Judge Lindsay Hawkins of
Breckenridge.
At ten o’clock Mr. and Mrs. Pal-
mer left by auto for Breckenridge,
where they will make their home and
where Mr. Palmer holds a responsi-
ble position with the Highway De-
partment.
They were accompanied by Judge
Lindsay Hawkins, who is a cousin to
Mr. Palmer. x
STOP THAT BACKACHE!
Many Lampasas Folks Have Found
the Way.
Is a dull, nerve-racking backache
wearing you out? Do you feel older
and slower than you should? Are
you tired, weak and nervous; find it
impossible to be happy, or enjoy the
good times around you ? Then there’s
something wrong and likely it’s your
kidneys. Why not get at the cause?
Use Doan’s Kidney Pills—a stimu-
lant diuretic to the kidneys. Your
neighbors recommend Doan’s. Read
what this Lampasas resident says:
Mrs. C. G. Claunch, Fourth St.,
says: “At tiroes I had such pain in
the small of my back I could hardly
stand. Many times I had to put my
hands on my hips trying to ease the
pain. I was restless and was also
bothered with my kidneys acting too
frequently. I used Doan’s Pills from
Mackey & Ransom’s Drug Store and
they eased the pain in my back and
kidneys.”

WORLD’S RECORD MADE
IN AIRCRAFT GUNNERY
BY U. S. NAVY FLYERS
The City of Lampasas has on ordi-
nance against chickens running at
large in the city, but in several in-
stances this ordinance seems to be
ignored by those who have chickens,
Chickens and flower beds are not
a good combination and will not mix
without a bad effect on the flower
beds. It is indeed aggravating to go
to the expense and hard work of pre-
paring the ground and planting seed
to raise flowers that will add to the
attractiveness of your home, and
then step out some day and discover
that chickens have gotten into the
yard and ruined what it has taken
several weeks to accomplish. The
ddy of the yard fence has gone in
practically all parts cf the city, there-
fore those who raise chickens should
see that their fences are such that
their fowls will not depredate upon
the property of neighbors.
SAN DIEGO, Cal., March 18.—
What is believed to be a world record
for aerial gunnery has been establish-
ed by the bombing and torpedo wing
of the aircraft squadrons, battle fleet,
commander by Commander Warren
Child, during the competitive gun-
ning year, now nearing its close.
Five gunners of the VT-2 squadron
have scored the remarkable record
of ninety-seven hits in ninety-seven
shots while their seaplanes were fly-
ing at a speed of more than eighty
miles an hour. Several of the gun-
ners of. the VJ-1 squadron, it was
j reported at North Island Thursday,
I also attained perfect scores in firing
machine guns at sleeve targets from
j their seaplanes.
Not content with their amazing
j gunnery record which Commander
; Child believes has never been equaled
' in the history of naval aviation, the
personnel of the two squadrons has
staged two gas attacks at sea against
the destroyer Smirk with virtually
perfect resuts.
C. E. Reynolds and his mother,
Mrs. Louisa Reynolds, left Saturday
morning for Dallas where they will
visit relatives.
Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Taylor, Jr., re-
turned home Friday from Waco and
Fort Worth where they have been
visiting for some time.

Misses Stokes Honored.
The Harmony Club has never be-
fore had the pleasure of honoring at
the same time two of its young lady
members with a pre-nuptial social
meeting. Friday afternoon tne beau-
tiful home of Mrs. R. S. Mills was
opened to the members of the club
and invited guests to honor Misses
Margaret and Mary Stokes, with Mrs.
McGee and Mrs. Mills as hostess.
Baskets of lilacs and ferns arranged
on the front terrace offered a greet-
ing of spring as the guests arrived.
Inside the reception hall, spacious
living room and sun room lilac, white
and purple iris were massed in ever^
available space while the dining room
decorations were Texas blue bonnets
and yellow daffodils. An Irish pro-
gram had been planned and roll call
was answered with Irish jokes which
caused a deal of laughter. A num-
ber of fitting records were played on
the Edison while the happy little Lin-
da Lou dancing girl, dressed in the
proverbial green, furnished amuse-
ment. The real feature of the after-
noon came when quiet was requested
and Mrs. McGee, approaching Miss
Margaret, addressed her, voicing the
club.
In the world wide search for pleasure
We seek both near and far
For safety and convenience
You have to have a Carr
Some of us have just a flivver
Others have a fine sedan
But every single one of us
Secures the best we can
None of them are guaranteed
To last a whole life through
To find one of this model
Was left my dear for you
So gfuide him firm but gently
Gas him every day
Avoid the rocks and mud holes
As you travel life’s highway
So when you reach the summit
And start down the other side
Put on the brakes; hold firm the wheel
Lest accidents betide.
The secret of the journey is
Never scold or spat
Just let him think he’s driving
And you’ll never run on flat.
Handing her a gaily wrapped pack-
age, on opening Miss Margaret dis-
played a beautiful placque of Cali-
fornia everlasting flowers covered
with concave glass and artistically
framed. Then Mrs. Mills presented
Miss Mary a package from the club
with this greeting:
When flying ’round the world you
went
We thought Maurice would be your
lot.
But when Thomas came upon the
scene
You thought you’d rather not
So to him you gave your promise
Leaving all the world beside
That he might come and claim you
As his beautiful June bride
And that is just the reason
We are honoring you today
We want you to remember
When you are far away
That we still hold a loving thought
Within our hearts for you
Because your life was beautiful
Your friendship strong and true
And should the future bring you
What you deserve in life
We’ll know beyond all question
That you’re a happy wife.
When this package was opened it
contained a pair of beautiful wedge
wood vases of the softest blue with
white adornment. This part of the
program was a complete surprise to
the young ladies but they responded
in words of appreciation and friend-
ship. Assisted by Mesdames Roy
Walker and Arthur Frazer and Miss
Haby the hostess served a most en-
ticing plate' of triangle toast with
chicken a-la-king and stuffed olive,
ginger ale Salad, velvet crearri, cakes
with green minty candys and iced tea
with sliced oranges. Each plate car-
ried a small circle of paper with lyre
harp decorations and when torn open
two lines of rhyme appeared num-
bered from 1 to 30. These were read
consecutively and formed a lovely
little Irish romance which anded hap-
pily.
The entire afternoon was one of
enjoyment and the party voted to be
one of the nicest of the many suc-
cessful teas given by the Harmony
club. x

EVANGELIST MAY RUN
FOR GOVERNOR
AGAINST THE ‘DEVIL’
Naples, Texas, March 21.—The
Rev. O. F. Zimmerman, known to
Texas as “Zim, the tithing evange-
list,” will enter the race for Governor
of Texas provided he receives encour-
agement to do so. The prospective
candidate is a Methodist minister and
a democrat. His platform centers
around “saving Texas from political
entanglements and legal technicali-
ties.”
Some of the outstanding planks in
his platform favor:
Saving Texas from political en-
tanglements “to make it possible for
her ministry to save her soul from
death.”
Ousting the “monkey educators”
from the schools.
Cutting State taxes 50 per cent.
Elimination of legal technicalities.
Curtailing of bootleggers’ activities
and “every agency of the devil.”
Raising the Governor’s salary to
$25,000.
Zimmeraian disposed of Dan Moody
and Lynch Davidson, gubernatorial
candidates, by attacking them for
having supported Governor Ferguson
in the last election. He declared that
he understood the principles of the
klan and was for them.
“I am yours for a square deal to
save everyone from the devil. I am
against him and if elected Governor,
will put 90 per cent of him out of
Texas,” he said.
“If Texas desires a Governor in
accord with the foregoing platform,”
his statement concludes, “I would like
to hear from you at once so that I
may announce my candidacy.”
NO MORE NEGROES MAY
BE SENT TO GATESYILLE
AUSTIN, Texas, Marc h21.—Dr.
H. H. Harrington, chairman of the
State Board of Control, authorized
the announcement Saturday that the
board had entered an order to not
accept any more negro boys at the
State Juvenile Training School at
Gatesville, where there are now about
175 negro boys out of the 900 inmates
of that institution. A letter giving
that advice has been sent to County
Judges of the State.
Decision not to accept negroes at
Gatesville was based on Article 5125,
Revised Statutes, which sets apart
that institution for white boys only,
and also by virtue of Article 5135,
which designates the Ferguson State
Farm for delinquent negro boys. A
further factor was that if more ne-
gro boys were received it would re-
sult in either badly overcrowding the
white boys or even excluding the lat-
ter.
FLAG DAY FOUNDER
DIES AT AGE OF 85
BUFFALO, N. Y., March 20.—Miss
Sara M. Hinson, 85-year old teacher
and originator of Flag Day, died at
her home here Saturday. More than
sixty years ago Miss Hinson, seeking
to instill greater patriotism in her
class, began school with a salute to
the flag and recitation of the oath of
allegiance.
Ultimately, June 14th was selected
as a day of flag observance in her
school and the practice spread to all
the schools in Buffalo and later be-
came Nation-wide.
