The county convention will be
held at the court house Saturday
forenoon at 10 o'clock, and it is the
determination of the delegates

duly-elected and qualified delegates
shall participate in the convention,
according to the law in the matter,
and that every "Tom," dick" and
Harry shall not be allowed to
vote at the convention, whether

the three other Johnson delegates as
a particular honor accorded to P. J..

p. m, when the required chairman,
two clerks and Judge were elected,

mads, who assembled from all over the
country to take part in the festivities
attendant upon the marriage of Steve
Adams, son of Joe Adams, king OF
the American Gypsies." The bride
is Mary Marks, beautiful 16-year-old
girl of King Adams retinue.
The new princess would be pretty
in American clothing, but in the bar

women of the camp affect, with long
strings of coins, shells and beads
about her neck, she is beautiful in an
Oriental way. 1t is easy to understand
that her prospective husband believes
that she is jewel, for he gave a fine
Gypsy van and horses valued at $1,000
to her parents, as the price of the girl.
However, the woman is not bartered
and the gift is voluntary.
