Alta meeting of Union Lodge
No. 35, I. o. O. F. held last Mon
doy night com mittee was ap-
pointed to confer with the lodges
of the order in this section with
reference to the celebration of the

is to have the celebration in this
city, and if large attendance of
the members of the order from
all of the lodges surrounding
Columbus can be secured the an
niversary celebration will be un-
dertaken on an elaborate scale.
F.. w. Maer is chairman of the
preliminary committee and COM
mites are urged TO confer with
him.

that are often not clean. I would
say that it is not my intention to
make one cent out of this enter
prise as I will only own two
shares, but am willing to take
some trouble in order to try and
relieve myself, and my neighbors
and friends of this very trying
situation, and / trust that this
being the case | will not have to
go to the trouble of soliciting sub
scribers. I feel sure that if 100
to $50 families subscribe to this
pan that success viii be assured.

1905, from Mr.. E. T. Lawrence, a
former Caledonian, who is now a
medical missionary located at
Kazain, Persia, says: News from
Caledonia has not ceased with
me to be the most welc1 me. I
regret so much that THE DIS
PATCH, which comes to US regu-
larly, has 90 correspondent from
there as in former years. This
letter was written before the
first copy of THE DISPATCH
containing the present Caledonia
Department reached him. as four
weeks is required to make the
trip, so we feel sure that our
feeble efforts in trying to main
tain this department will be ap-
preciated by him, atleast There
is no one who would be more de-
lighted to hear of a good school
being established at Caledonia
than he as he was principal of the
school here from Septem Der 1889
TO June 1894, and under his very
able management the schoo
fourished as it never did before.
We hope soon to be able to give
him encouraging news along this
line.
Before our next communica-
ton is published a wedding of
unusual interest will have occurr-
ed in our midst and Caledonia
will have welcomed to citizenship
a fair and blushing bride On
Wednesday, the 18th inst. Mr.
T. w. Norris, one of Caledonia s
leading and promising young
men, prominent in business and
social circles, a mem Der of the
city council and also of the enter
prising firm of w. H. Castor &
Co., and the accommodating and
popular r. E. ID. man of route 3,
is to be married to Miss Hattie
Nickles- a few miles south of
here. The bride to be is most
charming and accom- p II S he'd
young lady, and we congratulate
our friend, Thomas, who was so
fortunate as to win the heart and
hand of this Southern beauty.
Their many friends in this section
wish for them a long, happy and
useful welded life. and may their
pathway through life be strewn
with tue choicest flowers. We
most l<ladly welcome to our midst
his fair and blushing bride who
will be quite an addition to the
social circles of our little village.
We have heard that at the next
meeting of the Board Of Aldermen
the two married mem bers of said
said board would introduce an
ancerequiring each member
of the board to either do likewise
or resign. as a single man was
not suitable material for such a
responsible position. We agree
with them and think it best to
give our friend Nett the benefit |
of this information that he might
have an opportunity to meet the
emergency as we would hate to
see him resign. We hereby give
notice to our friend, W. L. Gard
ner. of Columbus. should the
board of that city decide to pass
a similar ordinance.
We are reliably informed that
our enterprising jeweler and sill
versmith. Mr.. Fl. A. Green, is
soon to purchase an automobile
and then Caledonia will take on
metropolitan airs sure enough.

Some time since we noticed
an editorial in the Memphis
News Scimitar" which stated
that the farmers of Lowndes
county were manifesting little
interest in the widely talked of
movement to reduce the cotton
acreage and minimize the use of
numerical fertilizer and rather
took ding at them for being so
behindhand. which editorial was
answered by the able editor of
the DISPATCH. On the heels of
this the Commission of Agricul-
ture of Alabama announces that
the sale of fertilizer tags has
been greater up to this time in
that State than ever before, in
dicating that there has been a
decided increase in the demand
for cen mercial fertilizer ia that
State and also an increased cot
ton acreage. The indications in
Lowndes county point to a de-
crease in both cotton acreage and
the use of fertilizer and yet we
are mathematical because we
didn't send delegates to a whole
lot of cotton conventions. People
will learn yet that the farmers of
Lowndes county saw wood and
say nothing" but when it comes
to any great reform they are
doors of the word" but say lit
tie about it.
Bob Crenshaw, a leading young
nnan of ASnory, was in our midst
