Traylor is enthusiastic about the cot-
ton production contest, and stated that
it had done more to stimulate an
interest in farming than anything
,-lse that had ever been promoted in
Titus County. He claims that through
the contest the farmer’s attention is
brought to the modern methods of
farming which he has heretofore re-
fused to accept. It give- the farmers
a better understanding of the correct
u-o of fertilizer, the preparation of
il", and correct cultural methods,
a- well as seed selection.
The i mmittee having this in charge
expects next year to include corn in
the contest. Nearly all tho farmers

There was at least one unhappy
bridi during the Christmas season,
.is can be testified by the local peace
officers.
It seems that a Bowie county coup-
le came to Mt. Pleasant the day before
Christmas to get married. The mar-
riage must have been agreeable to
everybody because the father of the
bride accompanied the young couple
and saw them happily married. But
just before time for their train’s ar-
ival, a heartless county officer arrest-
ed the groom and took from him three
pints of liquor. While they were
taking hime to jail and arranging for
his bond a city peace officer placed
the father of the bride in custody for
drunkenness and disorderly conduct.
In the meantime the train came and
departed leaving the bride without
husband or father as a protector, so
she was forced to go to a boarding
house and await the release of the
men. The father paid his fine and the
husband made bond and all departed
the next morning for their home in
Bowi? county. The Texarkana papers
will probably pay this affair up as
a common Mt. Pleasant occurance and
lay the blame on this place, as usual,
but it was in no way the fault of
Titus county.—Mt. Pleasant Times
Review.
New Year’s Marriage
Quite a number of friends and rela-
tives gathered at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Clint Noble in the afternoon of
New Year’s day to witness the mar-
riage of their eldest daughter, May, to
Mr. Harold Lee of Lone Oak. Texas.
Promptly at six o’clock the bride,
escorted by her sister, Miss Earle
Noble, and the groom with Mr. Leo-
nard Wilson marched into the room
to the strains of music played by Miss
Helen Ware, faced the minister, Rev.
J. N. Coker, pastor of First Presby-
terian church of Cooper, and there
were pronounced man and wife in a
very impressive ceremony. After con-
gratulations and viewing the many
beautiful presents to the couple, the
guests ware invited to the dining
room to a most sumptuous dinner
served in two courses.
Miss May is a very beautiful young
girl in both mind and character, en-
dowed with qualities to make a good
wife.
Mr. Lee comes from a good family
in Lone Oak, and is on honest up-
right Christian gentleman with a most
promising future.
Their many friends wish for them
much joy, peace and abundant pros-
perity.
The out of town guests were Miss
Annie Lee Smith of Paris; Mr. and
Mrs. Walter Harris and family from
Texarkana and Mr. and Mrs. John
Anderson and children from Com-
To ;he voters of Delta County:
Two years ago I made the race for
Superintendent of Public Instruction
; od was defeated. I took the defeat
cheerfully and with no ill will toward
any voter in the county. I firmly be-
lieve in majority ruling, and can. and
do as cheerfully submit to it when it
goes against me, as when it goes for
me. The time has new come again to
elect our public servants, for two more
years, so I come again before the
voters of the county and ask that you
give m? the opportunity to serve you
the next two years as Superintendent
of Education.
As to my qualifications for the place
I submit that I obtained my early
training in the public schools of the
State of Mississippi, and later in the
A. & M. college of the same state.
From the standpoint of experience in
teaching in the public schools, I have
served 15 years. Two years of this
I taught in Mississippi, the other 13
years have been spent in the schools
of this county. I really desire the
pleasure of serving the schools of
Delta County as County Superintend-
ent, and feel like I can do good service
in that capacity. I promise you that
1 will do my best in case you see fit
to trust the place in my hands. It is
yours to give and I desire to be your
servant for the children of our county.
