w. C. T. U. Entertainment.

The entertainment given by the w.
G. T. o. Of, Montgomery, Mt the
school house Friday evening May
18th, 1906, was q decided success.
Mrs. G. L. Ethridge, the worthy
president Of the W. C. r. u, presided
with her usual dignity. Much credit
is due her for her untiring interest
and effort in behalf of the Union of
which she il president.
The musical part of the program
was gotten up by Mrs. John I. Nc
Cain with that same zeal and degree
Of perfection that in other days made
Montgomery famous for its enter
tainments and musical concerts. Her
pupils reflected great credit ON them
selves and their teacher.
By request Miss Clara AcGinty, OF
WINFIELD, rendered a vocal solo
which the audience appreciated very
much.
The May Queen contest was one OF
the principle features, and aided
greatly in the way OF finances. All
the young ladies of Montgomery were
on the list to be voted for, the voting
being done on Thursday and Friday
preceding the entertainment. Miss
Mildred Ethridge received the highest
number Of votes, and was therefore
made queen. Miss Annie Harrison
received the next highest number
and Miss Cora Mccain the next high
est number, which gave them places
as maids OF honor to the queen.
Mr. Frank Eagan made a gallant
knight az he led the queen to her
throne and placed the beautiful
crown on her head and the scepter in
her hand, making as he did SO. u
pretty and appropriate speech. The
fair queen replied in a graceful and
fitting manner. The whole was q
beautiful picture-the queen on her
throne, the knight, the maids of hon.
or, and the little pages ruth and
Sam O'Neal) around her.
After this ceremony ice cream and
cake were sold in the supper hall.
From the votes and selling of re-
freslIments the w. c. T. U. made
about one hundred and ten dollars.

ner, trustee.-Where the only prop
erty belonging to either Of two spouses
separated in property from each other

ed to the extent and upon The things
therein specified, not only to every
"head OF the family" but to every
person having . person or persons
dependent upon "him" or cher" for
support. While it is true that the
husband. 30 long az the marriage
c ,ntinues, is in one sense "the head
of the family" it does not follow that
the burden and duty OF supporting
the family does not under some cir
rest upon the wife (Civil
Code, Art. 2435), and that condition
of things il shown to exist in this
case. That fact, with its legal con-
sequences, Is not affected hecoase the
husband may give his time and at

business. The utmost that can be
is that he thereby contrib
utes something towards bis own sup
port. Judgment reversed.
