coming the wife of Mr.. Matthew

Rev. Mark Stone performed
the ceremony in the spacious

which were artistically deco
rated with palmettos, roses, pot

making a lovely background for
the bridal party.
Just after the ceremony,
the bridal party and their
guests repaired to the din

delectable refreshments were
served.
The bride is one of Irwin s

City Council Proceedings

Ihe council held long, tire
some, dull session last evening al
which little business of impor'
lance was transacted.
Besides several spectators
there were present Mayor Will
son, Aldermen, Hooker, Rinehart,
Bowen, Mosher, Knapp and
Owen, City ATTORNEY Jay, Clerk
Rountree and the Enterprise.
The request of the Cook-Dor-
miney Lumber Co., for roadway
rights between the planning mill
and the city hall property was
granted.
A petition of the residents of
Orange street to have the street
graded to the west dive was not
granted on account of the, lack of
funds available for street purpo-
ses. The same reason defeated
a move for the improvement of
west Central and cooperation
with the South Main Street I'm
provement Club.
The Superintendent of the
water and light plant reported
that the dynamo at the plant was
over-taxed, and he was directed
by the council not to connect any
additional lights until further in
structions.
The question of uniforming
the police was settled by voting
them two uniforms each per
annum.
1t is necessary to reinforce the
w. and L. appropriation, and by
resolution $4,000 was appropriate
ed from any other available fund.
The claim of the Standard
Electric Co. for wire ordered by
S. M. Halsey was again brought
up, and after examining the Or
der, the council concluded that it
was not legally bound, and the
clerk was instructed to write the
Company and give them Mr.. Hal
sey's last known address.
The service papers in a bail
trover suit against Pound master
Little were brought to the atten-
ton OF the council, and City At
torney Jay was instructed to de-
fend the suit.
Herman Smith, chief of police,
stated he had been prosecuted,
the prosecution growing out of
his duties IS poundmaster, and
thought thai the council ought to
pay his attorneys fees, and that
he had employed Col. E. W. Ry-|
man to defend him. The council
agreed with him, and authorized
him to employ an attorney at the
city's expense.
Mr.. w. r. Skinner was en-
ployed as poundmaster on recon.
mendation of the Chief at a salary
of $4,000 per month.
The following bills were then
read and ordered paid:

Dates for Everyone.

have fresh dates, and no one who has
not tasted the date fresh from the
tree knows what that means. Dates
are of as many varieties as apples, and
some are so delicious that they will
form one of the favorite fruits of our
tables. We have introduced date palms
on the high dry lands of the south
west, and know that they can be as
well grown in some parts of Arizona
and California as in the Desert of Sa-
hara and Messapotamia. Indeed, Pres

How much will dates pay to the

Mr.. Walter s. Swingle. who inves-
tigated date culture in the Sahara. es-
Inmates that 1000 pounds can be an
nually produced on an acre of land,
and that after setting aside a good
amount for expenses the net profit
from them will be $3.50 per acre. AS
it is now, we use only about $4,000
600 pounds of dates year: but if they
were raised here and sold fresh the
consumption would be enormously In
creased and the profits can hardly be
estimated.
The Seedlens Date and Navel Orange.

different kinds of dates into the west"
continued Mr.. FaiFchild, and we are
raising some as delicious as any l
have tasted in Persia. l have heard
lately, however, of a seedless date, and

bamboo for the gulf States. Florida and
southern Texas. We have imported
thousands of bamboos and have placed
them in the hands of a few selected
men, who, it is thought, will be capa-

can be grown throughout tho south.

as they are in Japan"

purposes. The bamboo you know, is a
giant grass, which grows not only in
the tropics. but also ir the upper re-

which are covered with deep snow in
the winter. The plant is found al
most everywhere in the Philippines,
and the different varieties may be in
troduced into Porto Rico and Hawaii.
Some of the bamboo have edible
shoots. which look like giant aspar-
agus sprouts and may be cooked and
eaten In the same way. They are a
delicious vegetable and will some day
have a place in the American mar
ket. Other bamboos are grown en-
tirely for the timber and for use in
manufacturing l think the timber
species can be grown along the Yazoo
river in Mississippi, and that they
would be a very valuable crop"
Are bamboos cultivated" I asked.
YES, the Japanese treat them with
all the care of the other field crops.
They set them out in orchards or
groves. taking a harvest of poles in
August or later. OF some varieties
there are four or five thousand to the
acre, and more than a thousand culms
or stalks can be marketed from them
every year, The plants are usually
set out about twelve feet apart and the
first stalks cut when the grove is
about four years old
