Newspaper Rulings.
STATES SUPREME CURT AS TO THE
LIARILITY OF SUBSCRIBERS.

l.. IF subscribers orderth discon-
tinuance of their periodicals, the pub
Usher may continue IT, send same until
all arrearages are paid.
2. If subscribers refuse to take
their periodicals from the postofice to
which they are addressed, they are re-
sponsible until they have settled their
bills and ordered the paper for other
periodically discontinued.
3 If subscribers move to other
places without informing the publisher,
and the papers are sent to the former
address, subscribers are responsible.
4 The Court has decided that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the
p~ostofioe, or removing and having
them uncalled for, is prima facie evil
dence of intentional fraud.
s.. If subscribers paw in advance,
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time if they do not wish to
continue the periodical; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to continue
sending it and the subscriber is respon-
sible until an express notice, with pay
ment of all arrearages, is sent to the
publisher.
6 The latest postal laws arc such
that a newspaper man can arrest any
one for fraud that takes his paper and
refuses to pay for it, Under the law,
the man who allows his subscription to
run along Tor some time unpaid and
then orders it discontinued, or orders
the postmaster to mark it refused and
has a postal card sent notifying the
publisher Of such fact, renders himself
to prosecution, arrest and fine,
the same as for theft.

Was brcathed as q covenant from earth to

And scaled in the heart Of God."
This was the solemn compact
made by Miss Floy Clark and Mr..
Albert Webb ON the evening OF
May 7th, 1905,-at the home of the
brides parents near Oak Grove,
Miss. The ceremony was per
formed by Rev. Cocker, of por
terville, in the presence of rela
tives and friends.
That dignity and solemnity
that one associates with the mar
rage ceremony, characterized the
union of these popular young
people. while quiet elegance was
evident in every detail pertaining
to the occasion. In the parlor
were beautiful decorations of ev
ergreens and flowers, and vases
of lovely cut flowers III effective
places.
Promptly at three o'clock the
bride and groom, unattended, en-
tered the parlor and advanced to
the centre of the room, where the
impressive ceremony was said.
The bride was beautifully and
tastefully gowned in white null
with trimmings Of lace and a
wide silk girdle adorned her
graceful waist. She carried a
bouquet of brides roses, and as
she stood beside the handsome
groom one could not but be i'm
pressed by the picture of happi-
ness and loveliness there por-
trayed.
The bride is the eldest dangh
ter OF Mr.. and Mrs. I. B. Clark,
and has since her childhood been
beloved by all those who knew
her, and she has impressed them
by her beauty OF character. In
her bright face there is much
that ind icates her cultivated
mind.
Mr.. Webb, youngest son OF
Mrs. 3. w. Webb, stands fore
most among the yonng men of
our section. He possesses those
manly qualities that insure him
the respect of all who know him
and the affection and regard OF
those with whom he is acquaint-
ed socially.
Immediately after the ceremo-
ny and congratulations, the bride
and groom departed for their fu-
ture home near Porterville.
May Gods richest blessings be
with This young couple all thro'
life, and may their lives be of I'M
