+ Mr. John Henry Cole and Miss
Fora Robertson, the beautiful daugh-
tier of Mr.. 4. P. Robertson, were mar
ried Thursday, December oath, and
their many friends in Western Ala
zbama and Eastern Mississippi wish
them a happy matrimonial Journey
through life.
r DR.. Thomas Jackson and his FAM
lily, of Memphis, Tenn. have spent
the Christmas holidays with their
parents, Mr.. and Mis-. T. B. Jackson,
/ and Mr. W. C. Dees and wife of
Ridge Beat. DR.. Jackson is one of
Lamar county's best young physi-
clans. and we trust that he will come
back to Lamar and locate after hav-
ing completed his medical course in
Memphis. There is always room at
the top for such good men as DR..
Tom Jackson.
We are sorry to say that our good
friend and three links brother, Mr..
Bascom Jackson. of Fernbank, Route
No /, is now and has been for quite
while on the pany list, but we
sincerely hope that he may soon be
Fconvalescent, for he is certainly a
t very useful man in his community.
The Hon. A J. Wallace of Fern
bank. Route No. 1, for many years
| constable and justice of the peace
of Wilson'S beat, is sick at his home
isof pneumonia, but we are glad to say
that he is said to be gettine along
sWell. and all Lar ar Will anxiously
await his complete conyalescenee.
Mr. Wallace is being solicited by his
many friends in Lamar 70 become
a candidate for t1fe Office of circuit
clerk of Lamar county next year, and
| just here we desire TO say that there
1 is not a man in Alabama who would
make a more efficient circuit clerk
than would Jack Wallace. Should
Mr.. Wallace decide to become a can
dfdate for that office, he would likely
be opposed by the Hon. G. S. McDou-
gal, justice of the peace of Vernon
beat, and the editor of the Lamar
Democrat, the Hon. 4. L. Box, tax
collector, and the Hon James Peter
Morton OF Vernon, who are all strong
and efficient men, and so we predict
| lively times in old Lamar next year.
Madam Rumor says that Judge s..
Fl. Spratt and Solicitor w. B. Oliver
have said that Lamar county would
not have any circuit court at our
usual time; reason given, no court
house In which to hold court. We
do not propose to vouch for this re-
port, but merely give it for what it
