 SAVANNAH, Ga. Nov. l6.--With the marriage here today in St. Vim cents hospital of Mrs. Viola Allisan md Jack Mortimer. son of Judge L. C. Mortimer. very pretty romance was brought to a close.
 Five years ago young Mortimer and Viola Bostwick. she was then. were engaged. Because of some foolish tin at a dance the youlg people parted and the young man went of the mex, day to seek his fortune In Mexico and foreet the girl who had broken heI engagement to him In At of anger
 Mortimer went to work In Mexico as manager of coffee plantation and after he had been gone for two years the girl married her fathers law part ner. J. B. Strange.
 Since the series of revolutions which have been going on In Mexico have riuned many industries. among them the coffee plantation business most of the Americans down there have come away. from the country. Young Nor timer. however. never got over the fact that Miss Bostwtck had broken with him and then had married man old enough to be her father. so when the other Americans in the planta- ton business came away he refused to come north and having nothing else to do. and not earring much for life anyway he staid on in the country and entered the service of the con. stitutionalist general Pancho Villa. The young American had ben educat- cd at the Georgia Military Academy and on account of his knowledge WAS given command of battery of two of Villas heid pieces. He has been with the rebel army for six months and gone through several battles with the federal troops.
 About six weks ago. during an att tack on the federal position at san Jose Mortimer was severely wounded by the bursting of one of his guns.
 IA his condition was extremely ser ious Villa made an especial effort to have the young man cared for on ac- count of his valuable service to the rebel cause. By an arranEement with the federal commander in the field Mortimer was sent through the lines under . nag of truce and eventually after much suffering was brought into Mexico City.
 Here Aee attaches of the American embassy tok charge of their country man and he was for two weeks or moro in the hospital of the Conception.
 It became evident that Mortimer could not recover from his wounds on account of the long time he had been without treatment after the gun eX- ploded and he was told by the sur geons that he had not many more wehs to live.
 When he realized that his time on

TOMORROW GREAT. ] NATIONAL FESTIVAL
Thanksgiving This Year Is 292d Anniversary of Pilgrim
 Fathers Feast.

Era
 m Thanksgiving Day is an annual fes- tival of thanksgiving for the mercies or the closing year. Practically 1t is national harvest festival, fixed by proclamation of the President and
 governors of state and ranks as a legal holiday In 17ss the Episcopal church formally recognized the civil government authority to appoint,
 such feast, and in 1888 the Roman Catholic church also decided to honor a festival which had long been sos uni |yersany observed-though nowhere as
 with such zest as in the New England states, where 1t ranks as the great annual family festival, taking the
 place which in England is accorded Christmas.
 The earliest harvest Thanksgiving. in America was kept by the Pilgrim
 fathers in 1921. and was repeated of ten during that ana the ensuing cen
 tury. It became customary, in fact for the governors of the colonies to
 appoint a fast day in the spring and a day Of thanksgiving in the autumn Congress recommended days of thanksgiving annually during the Rev oIution. and in, 17S4, for the return 1915.
 Washington appointed such a day in 17SS after the adoption of the con- stitution, and in 1795. for the general
 benefit and welfare of the nation.
 Since 1917, the festival has been ob-
 served annually in New York, and since 1863, when Lincoln set the ex-
 ample, the Presidents have always
 issued prOclamations recommending the observance of the last Thursday of November as Thanksgiving day. This is always followed by the procla- nation of the various governors, who alone have legal authority to declare
 holiday in their respective states.

The Natchitoches enterprise., 1913-10-23

A new enterprise in the way of
another bakery is to be opened up
in Natchitoches within the next
few weeks for which a. stock COM
pany las already been organized.
Every thing In the way of first
class outfit will be put in and moth
ing but high grade goods will be
turned out, as only the best and
purest material will be used and
first-class bakers, pastry makers
and confectioners employed
This will fill a long felt need as
Natchitoches can we'll support
something of the kind, and is full
large enough for two bakeries.
Mr.. j. J. Nelson is at the head of
this new enterprise to which he
viii give his personal attention.
and his long years of successful
experience in business and dealings
in flour and different grains partl-
cularly fit him for the business,
the opening of which will be
awaited with general interest.
The Natchitoches enterprise., 1913-10-23

There is city ordinance that
should be strictly enforced and
one that the proper officials should
see about right now at this parti-
cular season and that is the one that
makes the cleaning of chimneyS
and fues compulsory each fall
season when fires are needed.
While a great many attend to
this important mat jer promptly,
others are equally as CARELESS
about doing so, and if they do not
care about their own safety they
should thiEk of their neighbours
rights, and should be made have
their chimneys swept.
The fire on Monday morning
that just escaped being very seri-
Gus and caused such alarm, empha-
sizes the urgent need of enforcing
the ordinance.
