Inspect Burlington Diaries.

Burlington, Jan. 30.-The Burling-
ton health department has adopted a
method of inspection and scoring
diaries that supply local consumers,
similar to that used with effect in the
case of groceries, bakeries, meat shops
and restaurants.
Inspectors from the department are
now visiting the dairies and leaving
cards of instruction. Later second
inspection will be made to see if the
dairymen gre carrying out the in
structions. In cases where they are
not. it is probable they will be shut out
from selling milk in Burlington, as it
is believed an ordinance, which will
stand the test of the courts, can be
prepared.
At present inspection of the diaries
is made by the state, and it Is a
cursory examination. The field is too
large for the small number of men em-
ployed, and, as a result, Burlington is
getting some milk that is not what it
should be, according to the health de-
partment

ANOTHER P AIR

Miss Ollie McGlothlen, SOC South
Davis street, is the second OttumWa
girl to take advantage of Justice OF
Peace W. J. Berry's offer to perform
the marriage service free, where the
bride pops the question. 1t is a ro-
mantle affair. Miss McGlothlen met
Joe Hevlin, OF Greentop, Mo-, Sunday,
asked his hand in marriage yesterday
and the marriage took place this
morning at 1880 20 clock ut was
pretty fast" said Miss McGlothlen,
"but the world is going pretty fast
ed a most ceremonious service this
morning, lasting twenty minutes. The
bride is fourteen years OF age and Mr..
Hevlin is twenty-eight. ,..s.,' :.
In an interview this morning the
groom told the complete story OF
their romance with a gaiety that be-
spoke great happiness. This affair
started two months ago." he said,
when was visiting in Queen City,
Mo-, I met fellow there by the name
Of George Turk, who lives in Ottum-
wa. l asked him if he knew any nice
girl in Ottumwa Whom he could rec
ommend for 9 good wife. Now, you
may think that was responsible for
this marriage today but I was not.
My wife beat me to. it. But if she
hadn't popped before long, l would
have done 80. Mr.. Turk gave me Miss
McGlothlen's name and address.
When I reached my home in Gdeen-
top, wrote to her and explained how
came to do it. Never said word
about getting married though. We
wrote back and forth until about
week ago. Last Wednesday I got
letter from Miss McGlothlen, asking
me to come up to Ottumwa. I immed-
lately fired one back and told her to
meet me at the train Sunday after
noon. Sure enough, she was waiting
for me-

You don't suppose we were going to

you? knew who was coming here
to see before came, you can bet your
bottom dollar on that. At least knew
what she looked like. Well, I went out
to her home Sunday night and again
Monday. Yesterday morning she came
at me with the question, DO / suit
your I told her that she did. Then
she took me off my feet Well, you
suit me, so come on, let's get married.
So here we are this morning ready
for the last STEP"
Delay in Marriage.
A slight delay occurred in the mar.
rage because the bride failed to pro-
vide herself with the necessary consent
of both her father and mother, Mr..
and Mrs. w. H. McGlothlen, since she
was only fourteen years of age. The
bride strongly denied that she used
the argument that they could get mar
ried for nothing, but she thought
about It at the time she was popping.
Mr.. Hevlin is going back to Greentop
without his wife, as she is going to
stay home and take a,are of her moth
err during her present sickness. She
is going to join her husband later in
Green top. Mr.. Hevlin runs grain

A Big Day
in Franklin.

Sunday, the 18th of this month,
bids fair to be a lively and joyous
day in Franklin, if the weather
proves propitious. The Retail
Merchants Association of this
town, assisted by our wide-awake
and progressive mayor, Mr..
Charles Lauve, and the following
committee, DR.. B. w. Smith, DR..
T. F. Frere, Messrs. T. j. Flem-
ming, Isaac Bloch, George Kra.
mer, E. A. Boudreaux, J. F. Boud-
reaux, J. E. Loustalot, L. 0.
Pecot, A. ]. Gibbons, w. S. Ber-
wick and c. A. Aycock, have ar
ranged to bring four excursions
here on that day. One from New
Orleans, one from Lake Charles
and one on the Cypremort Branch
over the Southern Pacific Rail-
road, and still another over the
Franklin and Abbeville Railroad.
Franklin will have a large num-
be. of visitors on that date, and
the old town will entertain and
care for them as Franklin people
know how to entertain. Under
the direction of Mayor Lauve and
the members of the committee
serving with him, every contin-
gency will be amply provided for
the comfort and amusement OF the
excursionists while here. Halls
and music will be secured for
dancing; there will be base ball
games, glove contests, automobile
Joy riding and other amusements
in fact, every endeavor possible
will be exerted to make the short
stay of the strangers within our
gates pleasant and enjoyable.
We hope our citizens will come
out on that day, and assist the
Retail Merchants Association and
the Mayor in their laudable ef-
forts. Come out, make our visit
ors feel at home, and help impress
them with the fact that our little
CITY here on the banks of the
claseic Teche, is not only the pest
equipped, but the most hospltaoie
town in the State.

grand Fair will be given in Frank
lin under the beautiful shade
trees of the James A. Peterman
Park, under the auspices of the
Peterman Park Commission and
the local order of the Knights of

worthy of success. Exten sive
preparations are being made by
the committee in charge and no
effort will be wanting on the part
of the management to entertain
it's patrons to their full satisfac-
ton, and the worthy object of the

in making the entertainment a
social and financial success. Our
people always respond generously
to a worthy appeal, and they will
not be found wanting in this one.
