Bronte for Overseer

We present this week the au- thorized announcement of MT. J. l.. Bronte for reelection to the office of road overseer of this district.
 MT. Bronte was by nice ma jority elected to this position at the last election and has made a creditable showing in that ca pacity. He has built several new roads and has greatly improved the many already in DeView Township.
 It has been his custom to put in metal culverts of the best ma- terial on the roads which when once placed are not necessary to have repaired each year, thereby saving the district quite a neat sum of money in this Way. He has graded most of the roads and has numbers of times dragged a number of them, thereby keep ing them in good condition al most the year round.
 In expending the districts funds he has done so as he would have his own. In making his settlements with the county court, he has saved the people a large sum of their money by his economical method of handling their funds and settlements.
 Just how well he has done his duty, he leaves for the people to say, and we bespeak for his can didacy a most careful considera- tion at their hands at the coming primary, March 29.

7IlNEL Y FARM TALKS
BY J. E. RUFF
County Demonstration Agent
BY ]. E. RUFF

What crops can we plant this
late in the season that will likely
reach maturity? This is a ques-
tion that confronts practically
every farmer in Lee county. In
reply | will say that we are TAX
ing some risk to plant any crop
this late, yet as | see it, we can
i'll afford to not make an effort to
get some crop from our soils.
would suggest planting Mexican
June corn or anT of the early
maturing varieties. If the corn
reaches the roasting ear stage
by frost, it can be cut and shock
ed in the field and the ear will
mature fairly well. while the
stalk will make high class rough
age. Sorghum is another good
crop and will be almost certain
to reach maturity. Plant in drills
like corn and cultivate. This can
be made into silage. syrup or
simply cut and housed to be fed
during the winter months. 1t
makes excellent feed for all kinds
of livestock. Speckled cowpeas
and Mammoth Yellow soy beans
will mature and make an abnn-
dance of good feed.
All crops should be cultivated
very shallow. Avoid ridging up
as much as possible. We will
very likely have little rainfall
during August. since ore extreme
usually follows another. Shallow
and level cultivation conserves
the moisture.
1t will soon be time to plant
Crimson and Burr clover. You
will save money by purchasing
your seed early. If you want
inoculating material, advise me
and | will have the Department
of Agriculture furnish it to you
free of charge.
The cotton crop should be cul.
tivated up to Sept. l, then plant
every row in some winter crop.
In case you do not have sufficient
clover seed, plant wheat, oats OF
rye. They all make good winter
pastures. Plant as early as pos
sible, 80 that the plants may be
strong and well rooted before
the cold weather comes.
If you would like to have a
farmers institute meeting in your
neighborhood this summer write
me and | will be glad to arrange
for it. Remember, if we do not
hold farmers school" in your
vicinity it will be because you
are not enough interested to ask
for the meeting.

Shower for Miss Raymond


Inented Miss Dale Raymond, a
charming bride-eleet, with a linen
shower on Tuesday afternoon
which was beautiful in every de-
tail. Mrs. Mitchell is an adept
in the gentle art Of entertaining
and it goes without saying that
this occasion added toher laurels.
Masses of the mid-summer's S
choicest blossoms, as well as
graceful ferns and other grow
ing plants, added to the beauty
of the handsome furnishings of
the beautiful home.
Standing at the entrance were
Misses Winifred Witherspoon
and Julia Miller Long, both
beautifully .gowned, who pre-
sented the guests to Mrs. Mitch
ell and her guest, Mrs. Brooks
Marmon, whose presence was a
most delightful surprise to her
friends here. Both ladies were
most becomingly gowned in
handsome evening dresses.
When the guests had assem-
bled the thrilling strains of Men
delssohn's Wedding March an
nounced the entrance Of the
bride who was escorted by Miss
Virginia Mitchell.
Miss Mitchell wore charming
evening gown Of pink taffeta,
trimmed in tulle.
Miss Raymond's gown was a
lovely creation of pink georgette
crepe, trimmed in silver lace.
When Miss Raymond had been
given the seat Of honor, Mrs.
Mitchell very gracefully present
ed her with a basket Of pink
roses, each rose having a wish
attached. Each guest present
had sent rose with good wish
for the bride.
Miss Mitchell rendered the
piano solo, Bubbles" most ex-
quisitelv.
Mrs. Marmon then told in her
own charming style love story
that was all the more interesting
because it was historical.
Mrs. Wright next gave very
beautiful toast to the bride,
which was followed by a humor-
GUS toast to the groom by Mrs.
George Maynard.
Miss Mitchell sang, II Love
Thee Truly with delightful
ease and melody.
The prophecy for the bride,
and her maids as well. was a
masterpiece of wit by Mrs. John
Anderson. 1t began with the
departure of the young couple
on their wedding journey and
ended with the golden wedding
celebration.
After this interesting program
Misses Mitchell and nellie Kin
cannon, pulled the ribbons which
released a shower Of linen upon
the bride. The linen was held
aloft in two hearts, covered in
pink ribbons, until the ribbons
were united, causing the shower

all of the most beautiful things
that are so dear to feminine
hearts.
After the shower, most deli
cious cream and cake was served,
the cream being heart-shaped
and the cakes iced with white,
decorated in pink, with the bride
and groom's monogram.
This was the first of a number
of entertainments to be given in
honor of Miss RAYMOND.

Speed Maniacs Victims


less automobile driving has killed
l34 persons in Chicago since Jan.
l of this year. Many of these
deaths have been due to the ac-
tiyities of the so-called speed
maniacs, it is said"
The above appeared in the
Commercial-Appeal July 10, 1916,
and occurred in Chicago, where
thousands of policemen are en-
ployed by the city TO enforce the
law>against speed mamacs, as
well as other breakers and
evaders of the law. Had there
been speed breakers or bumps
on the streets or crossings where
the, above happened, a large
number of these lives would
likely have been saved, as the
speed demon" must slack up In

In the city of Memphis, in
Riverside Park, Overton Park,
the Speedway, and several other
places, where autos are in evil
dence, speed bumps" are placed
at several places, mot R. r.

dents by keeping the speeder
within the law. In Tupelo, the
Speedway, Overton Park, and
other places of this kind, will be
found on West Jefferson street,
North Church street, North
Green street, North Spring street
and in fact on practically all
streets outside the business Sec
ton.
The only protection the women
and children have on some of
these driyeways are the speed
bumps, and to tear them down
in order to accommodate auf0-
mobile owners and drivers would
be a serious mistake and leave
the women and children at the
mercy of the Is per cent. reck-
less drivers.
AS for marring the beauty of
our streets. just take a look up
or down the streets on which
bumps have been placed and see
If your eye can detect them.
Such bumps are constructed in a
manner which does not hurt nor
mar the looks of any street on
which they are placed. Then
why take them down?
1t is not possible or practical

roll the numberof men necessary
to watch the numerous streets in
our city. Did you ever think of
how many corners and streets a
policeman would have to be
placed to enforce our present
law? | would suggest that our
speed officer be furnished with a
Ford rnnabout, so that he may
cover the entire city. both night
and day. It is not possible for
the present force to cover the
ground, but with small runa-
bout the territory can be covered.
The fines paid by the speed de-
mons or law breakers will pay
for the machine during the first
two months.
| would also suggest the plac-
ing of signs or blocks similar to
the one we now use on Spring
and Main streets, and have
drivers drive to right or left, as
the case may be. believe if
this is done and each and every
speeder is fined and the fine col
lected, that we will to a large
extent, eliminate the reckless
and foolish driver.

WORK DONE ON THE.
GULF BEACH ROAD.

w. R. Turner, of Florala, Ala,
who has been with the Walton Coun-
ty Hard Road Camp for the past
two years and who has had varied
experience in good road work, is the
latest booster for the Gulf Beach
Highway road. Mr.. Turner was here
yesterday and made trip over the
route, observing the work thus far
accomplished, and the methods being
employed to build the road from the
city to the gulf beach.
Congratulations were extended the
engineer, Mr.. Gaskins, on the work
done, and, in the opinion of Mr.. Tur-
ner, who so expressed himself to the
engineer, the blue mari now being
used in the construction of the high
way is an excellent material for road
building, and when completed, he
said, the mari would prove its worth
for years.
The opinion of Mr.. Turner is con-
sidered valued one, for his wild,
experience and knowledge of road
building is accepted as final, and his
boost for the highway delighted those
backing the movement.

CAL0MEL TODAY,
SICK TOMORROW
Dose of nasty calomel makes you
sick and you lose
days work.

Calomel saliyatesl It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on slug
gish liver. When calomel comes
into contact with sour bile it crashes
into it, causing cramping and nau-
sea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get a so cent
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is a harmless vegetable substitute
for dangerous calomel. Take a
spoonful and if it doesn't start your
liver and straighten you up better
and quicker than nasty calomel and
without making you sick, you just
go back and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll
be sick and nauseated tomorrow
besides, it may salivate you, while il
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full of
ambition and ready for work OF
play. It's harmless, pleasant and
safe to give to children; they like it.
