 ssThe first time l ever saw her was on a street in New York. She wore short dresses. She looked like green country girl, but she was very beautiful at that. One day about three wears later, we both happened to be on the same train, and as we stopped at Newburypore Mass, l suggested that we get of and. get married. She agreed and we were married.

BRENTWOOD UNDER GUARD.

Kentwood La. Feb. 29.--Kentwood is today under guard of State troops who quietly took possession last night to prevent threatened violence against Italians.
 Within the last two days seif-styled vieilants have warned scores of Ital- ians to leave town by the end of this week if they did not wish to be blown up with dynamite. Frightened Italians yesterday left so rapidly that the Ital- ian population of 200 was reduced by about half.
 The main complaint against these foreigners was that they had accepted without contest a cut in wages from s1 .75 to s1,25 per day in the lumber mills where most of them were eni- ployed. The presence of the militia ap- pears to have removed all danger, at least for the present. The GoIdiers were called out after local oficials had conferred with the authorities at the State Capitol.
 The Italian trouble here was similar to that which recently occurred in other parts of the State. in which na- tives undertook violently to drive cheap foreign labor away from the lumber mills. Tn the other disturb ances at least one foreigner was killed snd several badly wounded.

 Forty odd representative business and professional men of Montgomery members of the Reserve Corps of the True Blues, had assembled at the an- nual dinner of the organization, and for four hours they were on the prize driil fields of New Orleans, Houston. Galveston, Austin, Nashville and other places where the drill team of the fam. ous old company won renown The sentiment that opens this story ran throughout yesterday evening. inter- rupted now and then with bars from old songs by the famous quartette that attracted interest in many camp of long ago. Stories of camp and field were told, and the banquet hall rang with laughter at olden Jests revived for the occasion.
 Montgomery True Blues Is unique in ing it's name. There is the Survivors Association, composed of men who car ried its flag throughout the war be- tween the States; the Relief corps, composed Of men who same after the war; and the active company.
