FORNFELT Will LET
CONTRACT TONIGHT
Three Cape Girardeauans Bid
For $4,000 Paving Job in
Tri-C City.

The City Council of Fornfelt will
award a $4,000 contract at its regular
meeting tonight for the construction of
$4,000 yards # paved streets.
This task will virtually put every
thoroughfare in that city in excellent
condition, from the eastern to the
western limits of the municipality.
Three Cape Girardeau contractors
have submit ed bids for the work.
They are: Herman Loeffel, John H.
Rouse and F. w. Keller. The awards
will be made shortly after 7 o'clock
this evening.
F0rnfelt has made unusual progress
in improvements during the present
year, in spite of the conditions that
exist elsewhere. For new buildings,
it has made q record. Fornfelt is one
of the tri-cities which boast of one of
the largest railroad terminals in the
State.
Fornfelt is located eight miles south
of Cape Girardeau, and it is difficult
to determine where the limits of that
city end and where limo and Edna
begin.

NEGROES CELEBRATE
EMANCIPATION DAY
Three Picnics Held in County
Jackson Outing is Biggest
Attraction.

Darkies, old and young alike, from
all parts of the county yesterday got
out time-worn plug hats, stately black
Prince Albert coats, creamy-white
billed shirts or wartime "dickeys"
to look their best when celebrating the
comremOration of Emancipation Day
1t was the negroes Fourth of July"
and they made the most of it. The
big picnic was held in Jackson where
the Giants Of Pennington and the Cy-
clones of Jackson clashed on the base
ball diamond, where barbecued meat
was plentiful and all the other dain-
ties that accompany a genuine old
Southern Barbecue.
A special train carried several hun
dred colored folks from the Cape to
Jackson. over the Cape Girardeau and
Northern. Many drove into Jackson
from all parts of the county.

theirs went 10 Jackson, where they
were scheduled for Emancipation Day
addresses.
Not only the men were there, but all
the darkie women and "swarms" of
pickaninnies. The women donned their
best gingnam aprons, and sun-bonnets
for the occasion and the pickaninnies
soiled many i fresh laundered white

President Lincoln's first Emancipa-
tion Proclamation was given to the
world January /, 1863, when the wal
of the rebellion was half fought. Al
the close of the conflict it was deter
mined that August 4 should be the
date whereon all negroes are to cele-
brate their liberation from serfdom.
Lincoln made his Emancipation proc,
lamaton in the midst of one of the
darkest hours of the Northern cause
and in many political circles at that
time, it was regarded as a hopeless
move.

CAPE GIRL WEEDS
MAN WHOM HER
PHOTOGRAPHED
Otto G. Miller of st. Louis
Takes Miss Mansfield, II,
For His Bride.
COUPLES PLEADING
WINS THEM LICENSE
Recorder Sends Chaperone to
Girls Acknowledgements
Roll Would Clog Sewer.

The romance of a 17-year-old Cape
Girardeau girl with a st. Louisan who
fell in love with her photograph last
September, yesterday was temporarily
blighted when a marriage license was
refused the couple at Jackson, then
brought to a happy conclusion after a
wild automobile ride to the Cape to
obtain the consent of the girls mother
and find Mayor Kage, who performed
the n.arriage ceremony.
The pleadlngs of both the bride and
bridegroom, Miss Cecil Mansfield and
Otto George Miller were of no. avail
when they made their application to
Recorder G. +. SiemerS at Jackson for
their license.
The bridegroom is "a years old, but
the bride blushingly confessed that she
counted only II summers. Siemers
could not see his way clear toward
granting the license despite the fact
that the bridegroom displayed a bank
rool big enough to choke up a sewer.
The inducerent was unavailing and
the couple set to scheming in another
direction.
A bargain was eventually struck
whereby Siemers offered to issue the
license, placing it in the hands of Sam
Vaniivort, abstractor, who was to ac-
company the couple to the Cape, where
as notary public he was to attest the
consent of the brides mother.
By t.e tine this arrangement had
been made il was getting late. The
party jumped into an automobile and
speeded for the Cape and to the Mans
field residence at 236 North Fountain
street
After a short parley at the Mans
field home, the couple soon convinced
the mother, Mrs. Columbia Mansfield
that her daughter was old enough to
marry. The mothers signature was
affixed to the application and the
bridal party started in search of
Mayor Kage to perform the cere-
mony.
Tho bride Is a daughter of Louis
Mansfield. About year ago, she ha6
had pos1 card picture made of her
self together with young man who
was a close friend to the family.
He subsequently went to st. Louis
where he met Miller and showed Miller
the picture. Miller became enamoured
He obtained Miss Mansfield's address
and at once a correspondence started
that ended with their engagement tt
be married.
Miller came to the Cape Tuesday tC
claim his bride and it was arranged
between them that they would go t.
Jackson for the license and have the
ceremony performed quietly.
Miller is an employe of the st. LOui!
Club in ST. Louis, one of the ultra
fashionable exclusive social organiza
tions of the Mound City. The couple
will depart for st. Louis today an'
will make their home on Franklin ave
nue. there.

available $500 for county use. Or

The County Agent.
THE county agent is to be secured
by the county organization after its
incorporation with the approval Of
the State College and the federal gov
eminent. The salaries which these
agents receive will doubtless depend
on their experience and general prep
aration for the work In some states
the average salary of the county
agent, including all travelling eX-
penses, is about $500; in others
$500, while In q few states 1t Is
much higher. AS to the work the
county agent may accomplish, the
following points may be noted: Cd
To find the general condition of the
county as to soils, crops, and stock
and then aid in making any or all of
these better; CD To establish if
possible county or community types
in crops and stock; CD to encourage
the building of silos and the estab-
lishment Of a more extensive dairy
industry; ca To encourage the feed
ing rather than the marketing of
farm crops; CD To help in securing
pure bred seed and sires; co To as
sist in the profitable disposition of
crops and the stock of the farm; CD
To cooperate in the establishment
of rural community centers for agri-
cultural, literary, and social advance
ment."
