OPPOSES OLD FASHIONED
WEDDING CHARlvARl

Editor Pensacola Journal.
I have received request from a
reader of The Journal to write an
article condemning custom which
prevails in small towns and is a sur
vival OF ignorant vulgarity.
The letter reads as follows:
There is custom In vogue in Flor
ida and elsewhere, on the occasion of
wedding, OF gathering together all
the hoodIuns of the neighborhood at
the home of the bride and groom and
making the night hideous by yells,
ringing of bells, humping on tin pans,
etc. This Is kept up indefinitely or
until the bride and groom appear. A
barbarous custom. If you would set
this out In its true light you would
start an influence which would
eventually rid us Of such a custom.
The people need enlightening"
The letter itself tells the story so
well there is little more to be said.
Only tho very ignorant indulge in
such meanness, and the ignorant are
ignorant because they don't read and
keep up with the times They are a

The remedy is in the hands of the
bridegroom He cannot afford the lux
ury OF a. honeymoon trip elsewhere but
has to keep right on at his job. He
should arrange In advance with the
local constable to be prepared to ar
rest the ringleaders for disturbing the
public peace. He need not be drawn
into it as witness SO as to create
ill-feeling; but the evidence OF the
constable would be sufficient.
Just one heavy fine, by way Of ex-
ample, IN each little town would put a
stop to the annoyance once and for
all

COUNTY ROADS
BEING WORKED
ACROSS BAYOU
ALL THE AVAILABLE PRISONERS
FROM CITY, WITH ASSISTANCE
OF TWO HIRED TEAMS, ARE
SAID TO BE DOING eooD WORK.

County roads across Bayou Texar
are now being worked by all the avail
able white prisoners confined In the
county Jail, who are being aided by
two teams, which the county has hired,
and which costs about three dollars
per day each. for their use. A man In
charge OF the force OF prisoners Is
being paid at the rate of "a per day.
1t is said, and with this expense, 1t Is
stated some good work is being done.
Not great many able-podied pris-
oners are trusted on this work. In
fact none but the short term men are
taken out on the job, and as the dis
lance is so great, and there is no
means of conveyance, 1t means that but
comparatively few hours Of actual
work are put in during any day.
Speaking Of the matter yesterday.
one of the county officials suggested
that If the county owned a motor
truck, on which prisoners could be
transported from Jail to works, and
vice versa, each day. that great deal
OF work could be accomplished. As
1t is now the men arrive at the works
long after sun-up, remain at work
about couple of hours, then are pro-
vided with dinner, and have to leave
the works long before shutdown to
reach the county Jail In time for sup
per and being locked up for the night.
Yesterday about dozen men were
taken to the works, and were returned
to the county jail at AGO o'clock. Not
more than six hours actual work was
done on the roads during yesterday, In
consequences.
The proposition of the county pro-
curing some sort of a truck, to con-
vey prisoners to and from the works,
etc, win likely be taken up at a
meeting shortly Of the county COM
missioners.

Be PRETTY TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
Look youngi Nobody can tell If you
use Grandmother's simple recipe
OF Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur. properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make 1t at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays, by
asking at any drug store for ''Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get a large bottle of this famous
old recipe for about 90 cents
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair. taking one small
strand at time; by morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, your hair
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy. (Adv.)

"The PeriIs Of Pauline


Talk about thrills-that ninth cpl
be shown at the Bonita today GER
tainly is full of them. Harry had
such strenuous time keeping Pau
line from meeting with an accident
that he has made her promise to be
good until the end of the year. She
fully intends to keep her promise but
it seems impossible. When some
friends come to visit her Harry asks
them to propose something harmless.
In talking it over Pauline gets the
idea that she would like to be NOV
ing picture artist. She goes, to Pathe
Freres and finds that Chief Director
Cashier is about to start a new photo
play called "Paradist Lost" He is in
need of some people to take the parts
of the Lost Souls, The Devil, and the
Angels. Pauline gets a position as
one of the angels. Owen has heard the
plans and gets taken along as one Of
the lost souls. When they are leaving
for Devil Island where the picture is
to be taken, Harry tells Pauline that
he cannot go along but that he will
meet her at the island some time soon.
Owen finds Hicks and tells him that at
all costs Harry is to be prevented from
ever reaching the island
From then on there are numerous
perilous situations in store for Pau
line and her lover. and how they over
come them is we'll worth seeing at the
Bonita today.

~Pea O My heare~

When q real human interest, q play
that appeals to the masses as well
as the classes, is scheduled for pre-
sentation In this city it Is a pleasure
to announce it's coming and encourage
out theatregoers to patronize 1t. In this
instance the commentator goes for
the second engagement Of Oliver Mo-
rosco's play Of charm Peg o. My
Heart" which comes to the opera
house Wednesday, Jan. IS.
Probably no play produced on the
American stage in the past decade
has created SO much favorable discuss
sion from people in all walks OF life
as the Manners, interesting comedy.
This has been emphasized most con-
clusively by the large attendance ac-
corded this attraction, when last pre-
scented here, and by the glowing tri-
butes in the press reviews. The ac-
tion of the play which takes place
in England, tells of q little carelessly
raised Irish girl who, when she is
transplanted into an aristocratic home
of unknown relatives, meets with a
chilly reception. She is unwelcome
and tolerated simply for the income
they derive through her, a legacy left
her by the will of a wealthy uncle,
she finally overcomes their dislike,
and wins for herself a titled husband.

SOX MUST RETURN
$4,000 TO THE FANS
Plan to Banquet World Champions
Is Abandoned at President
Lannins Request.

Boston, Oct. 1.-THE word that this city
had again become the home Of the worlds
baseball champions. though greeted with
noisy demonstration in front Of every
bulletin board, was received with mixed
feelings by q multitude Of enthusiasts
The victory Of the Red Sox was a popu-
lar one. and Lewis and Hooper. heroes
Of the contest. were especially applauded.
but through the street crowds was voiced
again and again during the game the
wish that the teams might return hero
for another contest. There was no lack
Of support for the local team in the
feeling-only a dominating desire to en-
JOY again the tension and thrill Of an
other world series game.
The termination Of the series in Phila-
delphia will make necessary a return OF
$4,000 to seat holders by the management
of the Boston club. This sum had been
paid in for reservations for a possible
third game here.
Proposals to celebrate the Red Sox vic
tory by banquet, at which the players
would be guests. were discussed last night
in several quarters. but under limitations
caused by a request of the president.
Joseph J. Lannin. that there be no such
observance. Mayor Curley, after the Red
Sox won yesterday. said that his inten-
ton to celebrate the victory with a BAN
6.uet was abandoned out of Difference to
the wishes Of the club president. Mr..
Lannin had told him, the mayor said.
that the members of the team probably
would not remain together IL they gained
the title In Philadelphia. although they
would have to meet later to start on the
trip through the West.
