MiTcHELL-tAcK WEDDING
IN MOBILE.

Many Pensacola friends of Mr.. Carl
Mitchell OF Tallahassee president of
the Citizens Bank of that city, will be
interested in the account of his we'd
ding to Miss Clara Belle Lack of Mo-
bile. which is taken from the Mobile
Item:
Felix III was not the only monarch
who ruled over Mobile for the past few
days, especially on Tuesday Cupid
certainly comes in for share of the
glory Of monarchy, for during those
days Of revelry and gaity he claimed
several hearts as his own and brought
about the contamination of a love at
fair Tuesday in spite of the general
disregard for matters other than those
Of the carnival season.
The first of these marriages was
that Of Miss Clara Belle Lack which
occurred Tuesday morning at the home
OF the brides parents, where she
plighted her troth to Mr. Carl Mitchell
of Tallahassee, Fla. in the presence of
q few relatives. The marriage, which
was to have taken place later in the
spring. came as a distinct surprise to
Miss Lacks many friends, who had
hardly time to welcome her home
again after the Lacks long sojourn sn
North Carolina. There were no at
tendants, the wedding, on account of a
recent death in the family, being a
very quiet one and Mr. Charles Lack,
the brides brother, giving her in mar
riage in the regrettable absence of
the brides father, who was called away
because of this afore- mentioned sor-
row in his family
Carnations and ferns adorned the
parlor where the simple but impressive
ceremony took place, DR.. Phillips of
the Baptist church officiating. Miss
Lack is a girl of pronounced and wide
~ admired beauty, and one who is very
popular throughout Alabama and the
south where the Lack family is one OF
the Oldest and most prominent socially.
Mr.. Mitchell. who is the popular CASH
Ter of the Citizens Bank of Tallahassee,
Fla, is the son of Judge Mitchell and
the brother of Mayor Mitchell, both of
Townsville, Ca, and comes from a
family prominent in the south and in
Georgia. Immediately after the cere-
mony Mr.. and Mrs. Mitchell left on
their honeymoon for points in Florida,
and after an absence of several weeks
they will proceed to their future home
in Tallahassee, where the groom is
prominent and popular in both bust
ness and social circles. Mr.. and Mrs
Mitchell will make their home with a
former Mobilian, Mrs Christian, who
has made her home in Tallahassee
since her daughters marriage. Mrs
Mitchell was married in her travelling
suit of Berlin blue gabardine with
which she wore a becoming and har-
monizing hat, and her flowers were
brides roses and valley lilies. The
marriage which marks the union of
two prominent southern families.
though a quiet one, was one of the
most prominent of the season, and one
to which the only regret attached is
that it takes one of Mobiles loveliest
and sweetest girls so far away.

Dieppe,' wrote the Indianapolis, Qnd.,)
News, February g. an account of his
experience when taking a vacation tour
with body of students. Telling, in
one part of the letter of his troubles
in France, he wrote the paper named
as follows:
I'm reading your poem December 80,
The Road to Dieppe, the writer is
reminded of aVisit to that old French
city at the close of the Franco Prus-
sian war and how he and his party
landed in the tombs on the same day
they landed there. He was crossing
the English channel with a party of
young fellows who were on the way
to France for their summer vacation
eight others beside the Hoosier who
accompanied them, all Englishmen.
1t was suggested ~ one that we go
to the famous fish restaurant for
baked fish dinner on our arrival at
Dieppe. When dinner was over at 5
p. M, we started out to see the city,
the old cathedral and many other in
teresting places. Our first visit was to
the court of justice, where a murder
trial was being held. Every seat and
the aisles were filled, so we stood in the
entrance overlooking the great throng
and with a field glass watched the
court, the jury and the prisoner at the
bar. BY the time the glasses had been
passed to all the members a squad of
soldiers was seen approaching in quick
step, with bayonets fixed. We were
soon surrounded and marched in
double file to the city jail, and placed
in a cell hardly big enough for our
party with gruff words by the jaile,
that none of US understood. F'ivc
o'clock, O'Clock o'clock passed,
when bread and water was pushed
through the iron grating for our sup
pers. About this time it began to
grow interesting, each wondering what
it all meant, and how it would end.
With a pencil and a letter head from
the Citizens National Bank of Indian
apolis, the writer addressed a note to
the court as follows: To the Honor
able Judge of the Criminal Court, City
of Dieppe: Dear Sir:-The gentlemen
confined by your order in the city Jail
are strangers in this city. We are not
familiar with the rules of your court,
and if we have done wrong we regret
If very much. but if charges are pre-
ferred against us we ask that a copy
be furnished us that we may submit
them to our American consul

possUMs FAT, LAW HARSH.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Oct. 22.-There
is deep and widespread dissatisfac-
ton among the negroes of Missouri
over the fact that classification Of
"possumsp in the list of 'fur-bearing
animals in the game laws works an
undoubted hardship upon them.
Under the afur-bearing ANIMAL in
hibition it is unlawful for the marsup-
ials to be hunted until November /.
Now the unwritten law among the
negroes is that "possums" are ripe
and ready for the pot when frost
comes.
October is the month when the mar
supial in Missouri is at its best from
the viewpoint of the epicure. They
are fat and fine favored and the ex-
perts declare that when November
comes they are not so good to eat
even If the fur is better.
Consequently the Game Wardens
are finding many violations of the
game law by "possum" hunters. Dep
uty Warden John G.. Leslie has found
several infractions of the law.
The woods are full of possums this
fall and they are easy to pick off the
persimmons trees that are loaded with
fruit ripened by frost.

Sweden, both neutral countries, are
