MAY REMOVE
 POSTOFF|CE

As the lease on the building which it occupies expires on July IS, it is possible that the Conway postotfice may be removed from it's present location at that time. As sistant Superintendent of Salaries and Allowances Gould of Chicago spent yesterday in the city going over the situation, but found that Postmaster o. J. Owen had not yet been supplied with notices adver- tising for bids for the location, and the matter has been deferred for about 30 days. Mir. Owen will post the rotices tomorrow and some lively bidding is expected, as there are number of property owners in the business part of the city who are anxious to have the govern
 ment pay them rent. In making the lease, the accessibility and size of the building as we'll as the amount of rental will be taken into consideration by the department.

PARENTSSTOP
 EARLY WEDDING

Although a marriage license was issued Saturday, in the consum- nation of which Miss Mary Ted dleton of Bristol would have be- come the youngest bride in Faulk- ner county, according to reports from that place this morning the wedding has not yet occurred and will probably be indefinitely post poned. In issuing the license to the applicant, Jasper Reynolds, County Clerk J, H. Bailey, al though closely scrutizing the permit supposedly issued by the mother of the bride-to-be and swearing him as to its genuineness, neglected by some means to sign his name to the instrument. The license came back for correction yesterday and was returned, but in the meantime the young lady's parents learned of the intended match and began to get busy. When informed by Clerk Bailey over the phone that license had had been issued, a me nber of Miss Tedleton family q ,lared that her motter had Hot signed I re- quest for its issuance and urther more that the young lady had not yet arrived at the age of II, and would not reach that number of years until next September.
 It is stated that this is MT. Rey- holds second attempt to secure a a license to marry Miss Tedleton, an application from him having been denied about two months ago, on account of not having the writ tn consent of the young lady's parents.

MISS DUNAWAY TO RETURN
Expected Home This Week and Will Give
 New Reading at Early Date.

Miss Hettie ]. Dunaway, who has spent the past winter in Boston, and is just completing a month S tour through North Carolina and Tennessee, will return 10 her home in Conway this week and will give her new entertainment, The Lady of the Decoration, at Central Col lege at an early date.
 Miss Dunaway has had splen- did success in Boston during the winter. The press notices of her appearances in that city are most flattering. The Herald of March 2I presents her portrait with a very complimentary notice of her work and the Globe, Journal, Post and Brookline Press each highly prais- ed her entertainments. She is par ticularly proud of the following criticism which appeared ill the Transcript; by Philip Hale, who bears the reputation of being the most noted dramatic critic in America
 Many in the large audience at Haynes Hall last evening for Miss Hettie J. Dunaway's reading of "The Lady of the Decoration" were doubtless admirers of Frances Little's story and to them it was a double pleasure to see the characters visualized. Miss Dunaway, tal ented Arkansas girl, who is spend ing the winter studying in Boston, has arranged nearly a dozen scenes with appropriate costumes and mu sic, and her impersonation of the popular little Japanese tale was ex- ceedipgly clever and interesting. She has an excellent sense of humor aud an equal capacity for expressing the more tender emo- tions.
