 The regular monthly meeting of the Lauderdae county board of supervisors was convened today for the September meeting. But little work was done, how ever, on account of today being Labor day and all Meridian had agreed to cele- brate. Tomorrow the board will enter upon its duties in earnest and the meet ing will be one of the most important of the year, as the body is to take up the real estate assessment rolls which have just been completed by the assessor. The rolls are to be revised and the work will occupy the attention of the board for at least ten days.
 The marriage of c. B. Williams, of Whistler, connected with the Whistler shops of the Mobile and Ohio road, and Miss Ruby Dowdle, of this city, was celebrated in Meridian Saturday night at the home of Rev I. A. Haley, pastor of the Fifteenth Avenue Baptist church, the latter officiating.
 The teachers institute, which has been in session here for the past week, has come to close. There was a total en- roment of one hundred and ten. Thirty eight stood the examination for license to teach but no one will know who pass ed until the examiners grade the papers. The examinations were conducted by Su- perintendent J. c. Fant, of the city pub lie schools, and C. E. Dearman. The public schools of Meridian open for the term September 20. The enrolment prom ises to be larger than was expected month ago and already there is talk of possible overflow of some of the schools

John Or Talks.

Mr.. John L. Orr will operate
three or four public service autos
here this Summer. Speaking Of
the State law covering the buzz
buggies, Mr.. Orr said to a Hust-
Ter reporter:
I am glad the state has regu-
lated the speed of automobiles.
I expect to run three or four
public service ones here this
Summer, and I am going to ran
them according to the law, and
have no fear of any trouble
whatever with the people Of this
county. / am not in the habit
ofiviolating the laws and do not
propose to be so foolish now.
But there is one thing I want
to say; There mas never been
anyone injured in this county as
a result of the automobiles here
and I see no reason why the far.
mers should remain at home CT
their account. How many peo.
pie have been killed or injured
here as a result of runaway
horses, longlEefc1e tie @mschire el
were thought of?
IF theEmachines are run &C
cording to law there will be NJ
trouble. In other counties they
are very ntme1cus and there is
no trouble, and Why should there
be here? A machine in the
hands of a sober and right
minded man can be sstopped in
stantly. and is not dangerous to
the other traffic Eon a public
road. 4"
