spenf Night In Auto and Miss Steamer
Connections.
Opelika, Aug. 12.-(Special.) Wed
nesday evening at o'clock Miss Annie
Love Dowden. daughter OF GhleI JUS
tice j. r.. Dowdell, and W. H. benson,
son of Justice n. d. benson. OF La
sayette, Ala. were united in marriage
at the home of the brides parents and
immediately after the ceremony the
bridal couple and party of friends
left in automobiles for this city.
But before reaching here they had
quite a romantic and exciting expert
snce. It, seems that the auto, driven
by Orrin Brown, Jr, OF this place and
containing the bridal pair, left Lafay-
ette several minutes before the ma
chine carrying the party of friends who
were to accompany them this far on
their tour. The roads and country
were new and strange to them and 1t
being night, they did not proceed far
before they lost the way.
Before the mistake was discovered
they were In Camp Hill. about twenty
miles from Lafayette and the same dis
from Opelika, their objective
It. In the meantime the party in
second automobile proceeded on
neir way and on arriving at Oak
3owery. a small village half way be-
tween Lafayette and Opelika, stopped
and made some inquiry concerning the
bridal car. They were surprised when
informed that no automobile had pass
ed that way during the evening. They
decided then to wait while, and did
so till o'clock a. m, but still the
missing car did not show up.
During the waiting hours the tele-
phone was brought into play and the
parents of Mr.. and Mrs. benson in
formed of the situation. Both cars
were out all night, but reached here
safely this morning about o'clock. all
in jolly good spirits and none the
worse from their exciting night on, the
road.
However, Mr.. and Mrs. benson miss
ed their train and connections with
steamer in Savannah from which place
they expected to go to New york. Thus
the Young people also missed their con-
nection with the ocean liner Lusitania
on which they had booked passage to
Europe.

Selma. Aug. 12.--(Special. 1.-The
question of the establishment OF a
joint home for tuberculosis patients by
the city of Selma and Dallas County.
Is being agitated here by some of the
members of the Board of Health of
Dallas County.
The majority Of the members of the
Board of Health are In favor of the es-
tablishments of such an institution and
believe that 1t could be done with only
small cost of the city and country.
The cost of operating the establish
ment they also argue. would be only
nominal after 1t had been established.
With a home for uncurable who have
tuberculosis the dreaded disease nLthe
course of few years would be greatly
decreased in this city and county. they
feel sure.
The plan for the establishment Of
this home Is at present only in it's first
stage. but 1t is believed that 1t will
finally be worked out and that the Of
ficials of both the city of Selma and
Dallas County will back up and assist
the Board OF Health in the establish
ment of such an Institution.
