Buena Vista, Sept. 22. 2.--(Speeial. )-- On Wednesday afternoon. September IS, in the Baptist Church, Buena Vista, Ala. a happy. lifelong romance was eliminated, when G. c. Kettles, IT,, and Miss Florence Whisenhant were united in the sacred bonds of matri- mony.
 To the strains of MendeIssohn's we'd ding march rendered by Mrs. B. E. Finklea. the bridal party wended their way to the altar. Four ushers, Messrs !. F. Ftnklea, Albert Richard, W. M. Nestle, Dr., and Mel Andress, preceded the bride. who entered leaning on the arm of the groom.
 There was hush of solemnity beflt- ting the occasion as they pledged, so long as they both should live, their love should abide as hand In hand they make their way down the rough path way of life. The mysterious atmos- phere surrounding all was enhanced by the soft notes of Francois Bshr's we'd ding bells. sounding during the cers- mony.
 The church was most beautifully dec- orated under the tasteful guidance of Mrs. W. NJ Nestle. in Southern smilax many potted plants. ferns, palms. etc :, t The bride was beautiful, elegantly gowned in g handsome travelling dress of brown Swiss tafReta. trimmed in hllet lace. She wore hat, gloves and shoes to match and carried a shower bouquet of white marechal niel roses
 She Is @ young woman of unusual qualities and attachments.
 The bridal party.-,with a few rela- tives and friends. left immediately for Natchez, Ala, the future home of the young couple.
 The sumptuous feast spread for the guests was creditable to the noted hos pitaIity of Mir. and Mrs. c. c. Kettles.
 The many handsome gifts in silver, hand-painted china, cut glass, etc. att tested the high esteem in which both bride and groom are held in their wide circle of friends.
 Among the friends from distance were Misses Mccoy, Atmore; Miss Lula whisenhant of Montgomery. Mir. and Mrs. c. D. Address of Beatrice; Dr. and Mrs D. c. Burson of Atmore MT and Mrs. J. J.

ceived by Mfr. Seymour there is one from Congressman which is especial ly noteworthy by reason of the ttme and space devoted to the subject in the communication. The Congressman is d firm believer in the holding of cotton for better prices and he insists that 1t is the solution. He maintains that the value of the staple should ad- vance commensurately with the rise in the cost Of other commodities in re- cent years.
 In reference to his visit to Washing ton. where he remained about five days. Mir. Seymour said that much interest Is being manifested in the nations cap- ital in the approaching meeting of the spinners and the Southern Cotton As- sociation, which Is to take place fin Al lanta, October S-1o. and that a num- Der of officials will go from Washinr- ton to attend the convention.
 Besides American and European cot ton spinners, there will be represent- . atives present from cotton organiza- uons in all cotton producing States

 COTTON CROP SHORT.
Gathering in Cottonwood Section as
 Progressing Very Rapidly.

Gathering in Cottonwood Section as
 Progressing Very Rapidiy.
 Cottonwood, Sept. Especial )--The work of gathering the cotton crop in this section is progressing very rapid ly Soon the cotton will all have been picked, ginned and sold. Never be- fore has cotton been known to open as rapidly In this section as 1t has this season. Many of the farmers are prac- tically done gathering now. A great many have only & few bales yet to pick and 1t is confidently expected that almost all the cotton helds VIII pc ready for pasture by October Is. The gins have been running on full time and a great deal more cotton has been marketed so far this year than was aver the case up to this time of year before. The cotton crop In this sec ton is about 40 per cent off
 It is expected that the Williams Rail- road will reach Cottonwood within three or four weeks. A crew has been busy for-.some time past decking the long trestle at Big Creek and getting 1t in shape for the trains to cross. When this work is completed. 1t wiii require only few days to lay the track from there to Cottonwood, dist ance of only about four miles. The grading has been completed for some time, and 1t is thought that the track will be connected at Cottonwood with the road already In operation from here to Cowarts, within a very few weeks.
 It is expected that the Houston Coun- ty High School will be located in Cot tonwood. An effort was made imme- aiately after the passage of the bill to net the Commission to locate the school here. The subscription money has been arranged for sometime and as cotton wood was the first place In Houston County to ask for the school, IL IS thought that her chances are very good to get it. No place in Houston County is so much in need of the school as Cot tonwood, and no place in this section Is better able to provide for 1t.
 Rev. Joseph J White, of Campbell ion. Fla. has been rendered call by the Baptist congregation or Cotton- wood to the pastorate Of the cnurcn here for the coming year, He mas not vet accepted, but it is believed that ne win accept the call within tho next few days. He Is to come over here ana nreach on the fifth Sunday m thls month. at which time he will give his answer to the congregation as to wne. ther or not he will accept the call to become their pastor.

It is exnected that the Tillis electric line from Dothan to Geneva will come bv Cottonwood and thence go via Sio- comb and Hartford.

Cottonwood will raise a nice sum to secure the road.

We were late in getting out our odds and ends to clean out. However, we will likely have two months yet of seasonable wealth CT to wear low shoes and again many wear low shoes all winter.
 But there are besides these, slip pers such as are worn in the eve- ming at home and up-to-date styles. They are merely a little of this and a little of that, which means not complete sizes and widths in any one kind.
 But there may be just the size and kind that a person wants. All of this of course means individ- ual seeking.
 We have all of these different styles arranged on tables so that YOU can see every pair of them and pick out what you want. This sale will only last few days longer.

BELIEVES IN
 HIGH PRICE w. H. Seymour Conf dent of l5 Gents. COTTON WILL SOON RISE Recent Slump Has Not Discouraged
 Him In the Least.
 --S-- He Declare. en HI. Return from wa.h- inston that Price Fixed by cot- ton Association is Reas-
 enable One.


 w. H. Seymour. President of the Alabama Division of the Southern Cot ton Association, who returned early yesterday morning from Washington, believes implicitly that the price of cotton will reach 15 cents before an- other crop Is made. The fact that cot ton recently took a big slump does not in the least affect the views of the official, and those who hold, he maintains. can expect a reasonable price for their staple. A
 When the Executive Committee of the Association met in Jackson on Sep- tember 6 and fixed Is cents as a req sonable price for cotton" said MT. Seymour, i've did not expect to realize it at once. We knew then that the spinners were supplied and considera- ble cotton had been sold in advance. We knew then that there is always a certain amount of distress cotton that Is put on the market no matter how low the price may go, for we have not yet arranged to take care of the holding of this class of cottcnl But we knew also that as soon as this distress cotton is sold, the price must necessarily advance to a reasonable figure.
 Tt is not a question this time of how many producers hold their cotton or Who holds. Even if there were but one individual to hold his cotton, be- lieve as firmly as do that I am sit- ting here that cotton will go to 15 cents before the next crop is gath ered.''
 Along this line of thought, Mir. Sey- nour is preparing an address to the people which he expects to give out In day or two.
 FeS the purpose of sounding the pulse of public men on the subject of a reasonable price for cotton. MT. Seymour has written to ali Alabama Congressman and United States Sena- tors and to many probate judges ask ing for their views on the question of maintaining a fair price for cotton under present conditions. He has re- ceived a number of replies already and he contemplates making them public In a few days.
 The Cotton Association president finds that these public men are taking considerable interest in the cotton question and are beginning to realize that action should be taken to secure a good price. Where men in politics, as a rule. have not usually devoted much attention to economic questions, he finds that there is apparently an awak- ening among public men.
