INTERSCH0LASTIC FOOTBALL.
First Game of the season to he Played BE
tween Alma and Mt. Pleasant.

The first interscholastic football game
Of the season for our home team will be
played on Davis field between Mt. Pleas
amt and Alma high schools. The pros
poets of victory for our boys, while
not so favorable as in former years, are
bright They have been unable to play
any preliminary games and consequent
ly the game Saturday will be the first
time our boys have lined up with team
in their class this year. The line is
light but the practice shows spirit and
snap, and what they lack in weight is
hoped to be made up in speed. 1t is the
duty Of every student in the high school
to turn out and cheer the boys on to vic.
tory. AS the game is called in the fore.
noon it will also give business men and
clerks an opportunity to witness the
game and encourage our home team by
their presence. Let all turn out and
give the first game of the season good
send off.
Supt Rockwell wishes TO assure the
citizens and business men that the game
will start promptly at 10 o'clock, local
time, thus avoiding the usual long and
tedious wait. He wishes TO impress it
upon everybody that 10 o'clock does not
mean 10:30.

COUSINS MARRY
ONE FROM NEW JERSEY AND ONE
FROM MISSOURI-MET HERE.

Mr.. W. II. Gist, Of Bridgetown, Mo,
and Mrs. Mary O. Turner, Of East
Orange, N. j.. met here this morning
by appointment and were married
about 8 o'clock at the residence Of
Rev. John W. Sykes, Of Grace Epis.
copal church, on Kentucky avenue.
They both reached the Palmer house
by the early train, and as the. groom is
60 and the bride SO, attracted more
than passing notice.
Both seemed to be thoroughly hap
by. and the bride beamed and blushed
quite as prettily as many Of her young
or friends could do.
Mr.. Gist and his wife were children
together in Virginia but separated in
early youth, the boy leaving for Mis-
souri, and the girl for New Jersey.
They remained ignorant of each other
for more than thirty-five years and did
not learn of each other again until a
few weeks ago when Mrs. Turner left
East Orange, N. j., for Chicago to
visit ! sister. ID was here that Mr..
Gist heard of her again and when she
went TO st. Louis to visit q cousin, he
came over from Bridgetown to visit
her. They renewed old acquaintance
which ripened rapidly into love and
the marriage was planned. They left
st. Louis yesterday, arrived here this
morning and were married.
Mrs. Gist has been married before
and has grown children and Mr.. Gist
also has family. "This marriage
was not secretly planned" Mr.. Gisi
explained, land our children would
have come over with us only we had
too many. We married before Christ
mas in order that both our families
might be united and enjoy a big
Christmas dinner together on my farm
near Bridgetown.
They will leave for Bridgetown to
morrow morning to reside.

Has the Council a Right to Say
Who is a Contractor
Attorney On Both Sides Say That is
Has-The License Provision
Apparently Valid.
DECISION TOMORROW

Judge Sanders heard arguments this
morning in the case against W. 7.
Kirkpatrick, carpenter contractor, 70
test the constitutionality of the ordi-
nance relative to the license paid BY
contractors. The ordinance stipulates
that contractor within the meaning
Of the ordinance Is one who takes jobs
for as much as $500. Those who do
not, but do largely pstch work, are
not intended to be classed as contrac-
tors under the law, and both Attorney
J. Wheeler Campbell, for the defendant
Kirkpatrick, and City Prosecutor T.
B. Harrison for the city. agreed that
the law is constitutional and yeasona-
BILE. That if the ordinance simply
stated that "a contractor" had to pay
a $40 license, any man who agreed to
do any kind of work for any price
might be a contractor under the broad
meaning of the word, even the man
who carries in load Of coal.
In order to show what the general
council meant when it said contrac-
tors. however, the ordinance says that
men who take contracts amounting to
$500 or more are what thev mean by
contractors" and that such men
must pay $40 license. Others arc
not "cont ractors' as they mean in the
ordinance, and do not have to pay Ii
cense.
1t appears some of the larger con-
tractors think that all who do their
kind of work, whether they take jobs
worth IS or So, 600, ought to pay the H.
cense. The contention of the attorneys
is that the city council has a right 70
say what shall constitute contractor
under the ordinance, and after it has
done that, to say how much he must
nav as a license. For the first time
perhaps in many years, the attorneys
on both sides agreed and made prac-
tically the same arguments. Judge
sanders this morning left the case
open until tomorrow.
