ONE CENT APIECE
FOR PICKING WEEVIL
Terrell County Farmers Visit Ala
bama Fields Infested With the
Cotton Pest.

Messrs. w. j. Mathis, c. E. Lockett
and w. L. Pace have made trip to
Dale county, Alabama, of which
Ozark is the county seat, to inspect
the boil weevil conditions in that ter
ritory and determine from personal
observation the damages of the pest
to the cotton crop.
This is the third year that county
has been infested by the boil weevil,
and the Terrell countians found that
already cotton in the low lands near
creeks and swamps has been entirely
destroyed, while the plant on the up
lands has not been molested yet.
Last year, which was the second year
of the weeviPs visitation, very little
damage was done, but the farmers
of that Alabama county are alarmed
over the outlook this year, and are
paying a cent apiece for picking the
weevil from the cotton. Dale county
is 100 miles from Terrell.

WEDDING OF MISS
CONNALLY AND Mr.. PRICE
Prominent Brentwood Citizen Marries
Columbus Young Lady.

Columbus Young Lady.
A beautiful wedding of yesterday
afternoon was that of Miss Kate Con-
nally and Mr.. Albert Croswell Price
of Bronwood, which took place at the
home of the brides brother, Mr.. Jas.
Connally, on Waverly Terrace.
Three O'Clock was the hour set for
the ceremony, and Rev. ]. c. Wilkin-
son, pastor of the Rose Hill Baptist
church, was the officiating minister.
The wedding was very quiet, the
invitations being limited to the rela-
tives and most intimate friends of
the contracting parties.
The cereomny was performed in
the living room, where baskets filled
with shasta daisies, the handles being
tied with butterfly bows of yellow
tulle, and handsome palms and ferns
formed the decorations. Quantities
of southern smilax formed a mural
decoration.
To the strains of the wedding
march, played by Miss Hazel
Young, the couple entered together,
preceded by Miss Evelyn Connally, a
sister of the bride, as maid of honor,
and little Miss Marguerite Gunby
as ring bearer.
The bride looked lovely wearing a
most becoming gown of dark blue
taffeta, with which she wore stylish
hat of black horse hair braid,
trimmed with rose to match. Grey
hose, slippers and gloves completed
her toilet. Her flowers were brides
roses, made shower fashion.
During the ceremony Miss Young
played softly Beautiful Night"
After the ceremony an informal
reception was held, and during the
afternoon Mr.. and Mrs. Price left
for their future home at Brentwood.
Among the out of town guests at
the wedding was the groom's brother,
Mr.. Clarence Price, of Bronwood.
AS Miss Connally Mrs. Price has
many friends in Columbus who re-
gret that she will make her home in
distant city.
Mr.. Price is prominent in Bron-
wood business circles, and also owns
and operates extensive farming in
terests near there.-Columbus Ledg-

liz NEGROES ON
REGISTRATION LIST
REGISTRARS FINISH WORK OF
PURGING LIST OF VOTERS FOR
THIS YEARS ELECTION.

The county registrars, composed of
Messrs. W. A. Baldwin, w. S. Thorn
ton and ]. L. Murray, have completed
their work of revising the registra-
ton list Of Terrell county, which is
required before each election.
There has been considerable ac-
tivity among the negro leaders of
Terrell county during the past two
or three months to encourage large
registration on the part of the ne
groes in order that they might par
ticipate in the state and national
elections which occur in November,
and as result about 800 negroes
placed their names on the registra-
ton list, qualifying under all the
clauses prescribed by the disfran-
chisement law, some qualifying while
they were in arrears for their poll
taxes for several years. The regis
trars cited all whom they thought
were Illegally registered to appear
before them to show cause why their
names should not be stricken from
the registration list, and as a result
of their hearings the names of many
were removed, and when the work of
the registrars was completed there
were only 112 negro voters left on
the list.

''Purse Holder" Says Her Scales Show
Shortage in Weight Every Week.
Editor Dawson News: Since the
card of "Citizen" appeared in The
News complaining of shortage in ice
weights l have had all ice at my home
weighed religiously, and found it
short in every instance until the driv-
er noticed the scales which occupy a
prominent place in my kitchen. Since
then better weights are given, but
there is still shortage at the end of
the week. 1t seems to me that the
city council should look after this
matter, and require scales on ice wag-
ons and full weights given. There is
not a town in Georgia that is charged
more than SO cents per houndred for
ice, and customers should receive all
they pay for. "PURSE HOLDER"
