One af the pretty prenuptial af-
fairs given in honor of Miss Russell,
is to be a November bride, was
the musicale at the home of Mrs.
Zac Smith on Saturday afternoon.
The guests were met at the door by
hostess and Mrs. Allen, who
ushered them into the music room and
dining room, where they were seat-
ed at tables, each guest finding her
place by dainty rose place-cards. The
her attendant were seated
at the dining table which was most
attractively decorated with a large
crystal basket filled with pink la
France roses, and topped by a fluffy
tulle bow. This idea was also carried
out at the smaller tables in the music
room, each one having a crystal bas-
ket filled with roses in the center.
A very enjoyable • program was
given, those participating being:
Misses Mary Russell, Bernice Carle-
ton, Elizabeth White, Eloise Chap-
man, Jule Duncan, Lucille Jones of
Marshall, Mesdames Allen and Mc-
Clellan.
After the program, a salad course
was served, the weding color-scheme
being carried out in the ices, the rose-
shr.ped bon bon boxes, etc. ' The hon-
or-guest was stylishly gowned in a
dress of blue taffeta and tulle with
trimmings of gold ,and black hat with
paradise feather. The hostess pre-
sented her with a hand-painted recipe
book, a recipe having been contributed
by each guest.
Miss Russell, who is very popular
with her many friends, was also en-
tertained about two weeks ago at the
home of Mrs. Ernest White, by Mrs.
Willard White and Miss White with
an afternoon bridge party.

BONHAM MAN TO RUN
FOR DISTRICT JUDGE
It seems -that there is to be more
politics in the Neck of the Woods
next year than most people had im-
agined.
Hon. Henry G. Evans, in a letter
to Che Advocate today, says that he
is in the race for District Judge next
year, and that in due time his formal
announcement will be made.—Pari^
Advocate.
Since Judge Denton has announced
to his friends that he will be a candi-
date for re-election, there will be a
contest for the district judge’s office
for the first time in a good many
years. Judge Derfton has made a
good recorcf on the bench, and is a
fine man.

Pellagra Squad Pardoned
Governor Brewer today issued par-
dons to eleven members of the pella-
gra squad, the twelfth man having
been released a few months ago owing
to a physical breakdown. In issuing
the pardons the Governor told the
prisoners they were free to leave the
convict farm if they desired, but he
urged them to remain several weeks
ami be nursed back to health. Of
the eleven convicts who won their
freedom by submitting to Dr. Gold-
berger’s test, stvco were serving life
sentence-—six for murder and one for
criminal assault, one had ten years
yet to serve fer manslaughter, and
two others ftye years each for em-
bezzlement. ~

shooter claims self-defense. He was
arrested by Constable Hart and was
being held awaiting the arrival of of-
ficers from here.

Deputy Sheriff Elam left for the
scene about 11:30 yesterday morning
to hold an examining trial before the
Justice of the Peace.

SARCASM
Exchange
Sarcasm, pure sarcasm,” said Gen-
eral T. Coleman Dupont apropos of
a story about gunpowder.
“It reminds me x>f the sarcastic ad-
vertisement in a New York theatrical
paper that read:
Wanted—Tall, handsome juvenile
lead for drama tour. Must be under
der 70.’ ”
Wiley Clutter has exchanged his
place—the old W. N. Wilson home—
in the west part of town—for a farm
South of Ector. The exchange was
made with W. A. Fitzgerald. Mr.
Clutter has since bought the Levine
place out on Car Line Avenue.
PROVE CAUSE
OF PELLAGRA
DR. GOLDBERGER CLAIMS DIS-
EASE IS RESULT OF EATING
UNBALANCED RATIONS
Jackson, Miss., Nov. 1.—The Miss-
issippi State Board of Health today
announced the result of experiments
with a pellagra squad conducted at
the Rankin State convict farm by Dr.
Goldberger of the United States Pub-
lic Health Service. The board stated
that Dr. Goldberger, by the experi-
ments, has demonstrated the correct-
ness of ^ his theory previously an-
nounced, that pellagra is produced by
unbalanced diet, and that he is con-
vinced the disease can be cured by a
balanced rations. •
The experiment was begun Feb.
15, 1915, with twelve prisoners, each
of whom was promised a pardon if
he would strictly follow the diet Dr.
Goldberger prescribed. The diet ex-
cluded milk, fresh lean meat, eggs,
peas and beans. A diagnosis conduct-
ed today by Dr. Goldberger and four
Jafkson physicians showed, it was
said, that six of the prisoners in the
squad have pellagra in a pronounced
form and that two others show symp-
toms suggestive of the disease.
The prisoners who have developed
