stay away from the zone.
mo American ought at present to

the charges as made by Mrs Taylor

several children, including three grown
daughters. Ihe:inability of the two
sets of children to agree during Cover
nor Tayler's absence. it is said, caused
a breach between the Taylor girls and
their ep.mother, which wldened
when she demanded of Governor Tay-
lor that he send his children from home
and deed her his property.

Todd-ncMornssr.t

Brooksville was all astir' on Tuesday,
the 26th day Of April. over the marriage
Of one Of Its fairest and most popular
young ladies, Miss Lillian Memories.
Owing to the prominence Of the family
much interest was centered around the
charming affair.
Mr. George W Todd. of Hickory,
Miss, was the fortunate groom who
bore away to his home the lovely bride.
The marriage occurred somewhat earli
er than had been anticipated, and owing
to this no calds were issued; only the
intimate friends and near relatives OF
the bride were present; it,was entirely a
home affair >
The ceremony was performed in the
parlor, which had been made Eden like
with blooming plants and fragrant flow
ers arranged In banks .f crimson. pink
and white n ,stling on their beds Of green.
No fairsr scene can be imagined than
the marriage one. amid surroundings
like this. and the picture will linger long
in the hearts of those who looked on,
while the solemn vows were spoken.
The bride wore u dainty creation of
delicate heliatrope with a profusion Of
soft creamy lace for its decoration. The
groom was respondent in the regulation
black. The attendants were Miss Hal.
lie Hall, an intimate friend of the bride,
AMI Mr. w. B. Memories. the brides
own handsome brother.
During the marriage ceremony, and
as the bridal party entered the parlor.
q beautiful solo wa rendered by Miss
Halves, whose sweet notes and appro.
pirate words lent an additional charm
to a scene which can never. never grow
old. The ceremony was said by the
Rev. E. W. Spencer, an old friend and
one-time pastor of the bride. As the
beautiful and sublime words fell on the
listening ear. one inyoluntarily breathed
a prayer that just such an ideal life
might come to the two who were plight
ing their troth.
At the conclusion of the ceremony the
happy couple received the well wishes
and congratulations Of their host Of adj
miring relatives and friends. The bride
changed her wedding gown for a most
becoming one of grey, and the party
was then driven to the depot TO await
the south bound train, which bore them
to their home in Hickory, Miss. The
beautiful decorations were arranged by
Mrs. Jas. N. Memories. an aunt Of the
bride, and Misses Halle Hall and Brown
10 Cook. The bride il one to whom God
has given many rich gifts of mind and
heart. and her friends consider that the
groom has won one Of Noxubee's sweet
cot and best. The groom is a prosperous
business. and prominent church, man
Of Jasper county, and the brides fami
y gave her willingly into his keeping.
May their welded life flow on and on,
just as much joy and peace and
as surrounded them on their nup
tial day. 1. M. S.

Country Districts Will Object

Although Attorney General Will
liams has rendered an official opin-
ion to State Superintendent Of Edu.
ton Whitfield that the poll taxes
collected can be retained in the
counties and used as a part Of the
common school fund, notwithstand-
ing the legislative failure to get the
bill to the governor providing the
method of distribution in time for
his signature before adjournment,
and indications are that considerable
trouble will develope when the ef-
fort is made to established a prorata
for the distribution Of the poll taxes
in the seventy-six counties.
The trouble in prospect is on &C
count of the fact that in nearly every
county in the state there are n or
more separate school districts. and
these separate districts collect by far
the largest portion Of the poll taxes,
on account of their density Of popu-
lation. The proposition to allow
the separate districts the amount Of
poll taxes they collect, and the
country districts their proportion in
the same manner seems fair on its
face, but it is quite probable that
some Of the country districts will
object to this on the ground that
the children of the towns are getting
more than the children OF the country,
