Judge McWhorter Married.

The many friends in this city OF
Judge Henry G. McWhorter, of
the Supreme court of Appeals,
who is at present in California,
in attendance at the great Meth
odist conference, will be some
what surprised to learn that the
Judge was united in marriage on
Wednesday morning last to a
Mrs. Gates, who resided in Butte
county, in the Golden State. The
ceremony took place at the Gen.
trail house, in Butte county, only
few of the immediate friends of
the contracting parties being
present, among them being Miss
Minnie McWhorter, the daughter
of the Judge, who accompanied
him on his trip to the conference.
After the wedding the couple
with their friends returned to
Woodland, and from thence to
Sacramento, where, after spend
ing few days, they will start on
their trip eastward, stopping at
Salt Lake City, Denver and other
interesting points, with a stay at
st. Louis to visit the great fair.
The friends of Judge McWhorter
in this city frankly confess that
he took them completely by sur
prise, and beyond a brief note
explaining the announcement of
the union, received by his nephew
L. E. McWhorter, Esq, no other
details of the marriage was re-
ceived. The congratulations OF
the numerous friends of the Judge
are none the less hearty by rea-
son of the surprise following the
announcement of the event.

Of the flowers that bloom In the
spring not one in the whole bunch
is more fragrant than the modest,
transformations lilac. 1t requires
no special care, gets no particular
attention from the florist and just
seems to paddle its own canoe,
Yet it gets there just the same,
each recurring season, and no
springtime would be complete
without it. There is something
about it's fragrance which instinc-
lively carries many of us back to
the good old country schoolhouse,
of sacred memory, where huge
bouquets of it attested the love
of the scholars for their teacher.

The New Novel by the Author of

ton Churchill 1.-THE Crossing. "

ton Churchill The Crossing.
A vigorous story of the times
when North and South Carolina
were on the frontier, and the
Cumberland mountains the wes-
tern wall of the new nation. A
thoroughly American novel in it's
spirit which extended this coun-
try's boundaries west to the Mis-
sissippi in the face of hostile In
dams and the diplomacy of three
great European nations.
Pioneer life and the courageous
part that women played in it, the
adventurous life of the back
woodsman, the scout, were never
pictured with stronger interest
than in the chapters which tell
how Davy and Polly Ann made
their way across the mountains to
join the little force which was
advancing on Kaskaskia under
the leadership of George Rogers
Clark.
In point of historical time these
scenes follow those in which Rich

LIBRARY BUREAU
AND ITS METHODS

The Library Bureau, originally estab-
lished twenty-six years ago for the pur-
pose Of furnishing Libraries with uniform
technical equipment and all library re-
quirements except books. was the pio-
neer In the discovery that the principle
of the modern library card catalogue
could be applied TO business methods;
that every office. store. factory. or insti-
tuition OF any kind anywhere needed a
card system to keep track Of it's affairs
in the most practical and economical
way.
Since that time II has invented and in
stalled time and labor saving systems
for every kind of business. Among users
of these systems are the following.
Accountants. advertisers. architects,
banks. commercial house. public service
corporations. factories. hospitals. insur-
ance (fire and ife), mail order houses,
manufacturers, municipal Offices. United
States Government departments, profess
sional men. railroads. publishers, trust
companies. and telephone companies.
The Library Bureau does not seek to
apply cut-and-dried systems to any
business, but rather. with the efficient
service of men schooled in every line of
work successfully meets conditions
suited to individual requirements.
The Library Bureau has offices In all
the principal cities of the nited States
in Canada and in England. and its re.
markable growth attests the value in
which its methods and service are held
by business men in every line.
The Southern Office. which has juris.
diction over all the Southern States.
has moved into finely equipped Offices
in the Colorado Building and Is fully
prepared to give careful attention 70

ing in its territory relating to business

least shaken by rigid cross-examina-

faster than was expected.
Justice Pritchard has kept a firm
hand on all the proceedings. His de-
cisions on objections are prompt and
firm, and while the defense has noted
a number of exceptions, as a matter of
course, few of them have been OF i'm
portance, and they were recorded as
mere formalities. although some of
them may acquire new Importance in
the light of developments to come. In

points already elucidated is not per-
