Squire Hurley Officiates at Doubl
 Wedding.

Tuesday afternoon at i:30 o'clock at his office in the courthouse, Squire Ellis Hurley ofiiciated in his usual happy manner and best style at a charming and very pretty double we'd ding at which time he pronounced the solemn ceremony which bound to- gether the hearts and hands Of MT Ed Cox aged 22, to Miss Dora Gibbs aged Is, and of MT. Walter Baker aged IS to Miss Daisy Gibbs aged II. Both of the young ladies are daughters of Mrs. W. l.. Baker, of Hickory Ridge, in the St Francis bottoms, and are possessed of all the rare womanly vir- tues and charms which are so effec- tive in winning the hearts of the other sex, while MeSsrs. Cox and Baker are prosperous young farmers and timbermen in the bottoms, who are deserving, conscientious and industri- ous, and in every way worthy of the love of the fair young women who have honored them with their love. The young couples were accompanied by MT. and Mrs. Baker, who went with them to the squire's office and witnessed tie ceremony After the ceremony the entire party were guests at the Hotel Fisher until We'd nesday morning, when they left for their homes.
 The Times desires to join their other friends in offering sincere and hearty congratulations and in wishing for them all the happiness and pros perity that long and joyous life can bring.
 Squire Hurley otficiated at the mar riage of the mother of the young ladies a short time ago to Mir. Baker, and naturally feels some interest in the ceremony he performed Tuesday afternoon, and speaks of it in his happiest vein.

COURTS TOO POWERFUL
baldwin Secs Menace in Their Control
OF Stnte Authorities.

Buffalo y. Y, December oT-Control
OF State authorities by inferior United
states courts has developed to such an
extent that the people are becoming
impatient, declared Governor Simeon
Z. Baldwin, of Connecticut, at the
opening of the twenty-sevcntn annual
meeting of the American Historical
Association and the eighth annual
meeting of the American Political Sell
cnce Association in joint session here
tonight.
If some OF the recent court decisions
are not disafirmcd, Governor Baldwin
SAID, the Judicial power of the United
states apparently will extend to any
}nsticiabie controversy arising in any
state, although pertaining to mere
matters of local concern.
Governor Baldwin also found a real
danger in the recent utterancc OF a
PRESIDENT that he was for a Consti-
tuition when 1t conserved the people 3
thgs but not when 1T perpetuatcd
the peoples wrongs.
The danger he said lis that n
Chief Magistrate by some stretch OF his
executive or military authority NAV
come TO play the part OF Il dictator.
IL liz only Il remote possibility, but the
science which we profess warns ms
.nat great powers are apt to be abused
and that the fathers were right when
theE declared that eternal Vigilance
was the price OF liberty"
