"A marriage which came as a great sur
prise to the many friends of the family
was that of Mr.. George S. Blanton to Miss
Nellie Linville, of Paris.
The young couple were secretly married
at Berea on June Is, but had kept the
matter quiet till last week, when Mrs.
Blanton made the announcement to her
brother, Mr.. Harry Linville The bride is
the daughter of Mr. Richard Linville, an
official of the L. & NJ, and is both pretty
and accomplished, while the groom is too
well known to need any words of COM
mendation, being the youngest son of Mrs.
L. R. Blanton and social faVorite. He is
a promising young electrician and his
friends expect to see him rise in his chosen
avocation.
AT present Mr. and Mrs Blanton are

After months of dallying on a
question vitality affecting many
millions of people in this country
and Mexico, President Wilson
has broken his silence and deliv
cred a message scarcely above
mediocrity; insulting to Mexico in
some of its demands and ludicrOus
in all the others. His proposals
to Mexico only served to increase
the tension between us and that
country.
Mexico, a nation of q United
States, 3 territories and one Fed
eral State with a population of
over fifteen million people, who
have adpoted a constitution and
code of laws and whose govern
ment is patterned much like ours
and which for many years main
tanned an orderly government,
has for the last three years been
subjected to much discord by in
ternal diSSenSiOnS. 1t is now in
the turmoil of war. It's armies
are pitted against each other, bent
on determination. The flames
of passion have swept the coun-
try, arraying' faction against fac
ton and brother against brother.
Thousands of valiant warriors
have been slain on the field OF
battle. In the fury of this pas,

States says to the President OF
Mexico, stop this storm Hold

candidate yourself -Pacify the

For a man to write this way to
Mexico at this time, shows that
he has but poor grasp of the
situation. Mexico has spent its
millions and shed its blood to
quell the rebellion. It's cannon

poured a hail of bullets into the
ranks of the rebel forces, yet they
stand today )unconquered, a de

Mexico would gladly stop the wal
without the order of President
Wilson if it could. The request
is puerile.
The third request to-wit: That
Huerta be not a candidate in the
proposed election for President
is insulting and humiliating tC
Mexico, absurd in its nature and
extremely dangerous to us in the
end. Huerta is President OF
Mexico by virtue of the law o.

eff the election of Victoriano Huerta at
the coming campaign has been in doubt
the last diplomatic developments and the
unforeseen attitude of President Wilson
and Secretary of State Bryan have made
it certain.
President Wilson has taken it upon
himself to crystalline the popularity of

carnation ofnational dignity and sovereign
