Grab Orchard

The marriage Of Rev. C.'E. Wyatt,
pastor Of the Christian church at
this place and Miss Myrtle Murray,
was solemnized on Friday afternoon,
Dec. sth, in that church. The beauti-
full and impressive ring ceremony
was performed by Rev. Horace Kings
bury, Of Danville, an old schoolmate
and chum Of the groom. The maid of
honor was Miss Mae Campbell, Of
Danville and the best man was Harry
Collier Of this place. The bride was at
tired in a blue charmeuse dress of
latest style and carried a boquet of
brides roses and looked her sweet
est. Rev. Wyatt as pastor of the
church here needs no write-up as ev-
eryone knows so well the great work
he has accomplished for the church
during his charge over it and those
who know the bride best feel that he
has chosen wisely and well. Myrtle,
as president of the Christian Endeav-
or society here had few equals in the
work and endeared herself to the
little ones by her efforts for their
Advancement For six years she had
made her home with Mr. and Mrs. r.
l.. Collier who took great pains to
give her every advantage socially.
She is a girl of fine sense, good taste,
economical and practical and will GER
tainly be to him loving helpmate
Both bride and groom were recipients
of many useful and handsom presents
which would have numbered many
more had their friends been posted
as to the wedding day, but it was
such carefully guarded secret that
few if any knew about it until the
day before.
After receiving congratulations at
Mrs. Golfers from their wide circle
Of friends and partaking Of an ele-
CANT lunch. they were motorpd 10
Stanford, where they took the train
for Louisville. After a visit to the
groom's family at Valley View near
, Louisville. they wiz leave Jan LIST,
for Ocala, Fla, where Rev. Wyatt
will have charge of a church nest
year. In bidding good bye to these
two we with others feel that church,
Sunday School and Endeavor SoC'ety
sustain Il great loss, but W. hope
their joyful beginning of life will at
its close be brighter still

deavOrers will entertain from half

TO THE DEMOCRATS
OF LINCOLN COUNTY

do not believe in any candidate
trying to get into Office by riding a
hobby" The office of County Judge
is a very important office, and one in
which each and every tax payer of the
the county is, or should be interest
! ed, and man TO fill that office
should be selected because of his
qualification and fitness for the office,
and not because Of some insincere
promise or proposition appealing to
any one interest. ~
In making my announcement rs
candidate for the democratic nominal
stion for County Judge | declared
myself in favor Of increasing the pay
for work done on ne dirt roads Of the
county to rs cents day for a hand
and not less than $500 for wagons
and teams. You, will notice that ] did
not say that a man with a wagon and
team should not be paid more. but
that they should not be paid less"
My opponent and friend, T. A. Rice
declares in his announcement that he
is in favor of paying hands S1.OO and
wagon and teams $500 for each
day of 10 hours. s..-...
Now at the time | made my an
nouncement ] happened to know the
law of our state makes 8 hours leg
al days work on the public roads,
| and my proposition to pay 75c and
$500 for & hours work amount to
about the same as Mr.. Rice's propo-
Sition TO pay Sl.OO and $500 for 10
hours work. Mr.. Rice forgets. or does
not know that County Judge can
not make, amend or repeal our Stat
ute laws, and il he wants TO thus en-
gage, he should be candidate for the
Legislature instead of County Judge.
( ! do not pretend TO say that "a cents
/ for n man and $500 for "a man and
team is enough, considering prevail
ing conditions, but believe that to
be as much as the county can pay
until some means can be devised to
increase the road funds of our coun-
ty.
If | We're County Judge and the
county had the money, | would glad
/ ly vote as member of the fiscal
court to pay each man Sl.25 and each
man with a team $500 for each days
work Of 8 hours each, but the finan-
cial condition of our county would
not now justify these prices, and it
would be but piping of a hypocrite
and the braying of demogogue to
make promises that | could not full
fill. When ! was a member of the leg
stature ! procured the passage of
law authorizing the fiscal courts of
the state to furnish tools to be used
on the dirt roads. and if elected
County Judge | will he in favor of
furnishing a reasonable number of
suitable tools to be used on the dirt
roads Of our county.
Large sums have been spent in ma
chinery to be used on the pixies and
| see no good reason why those who
have to keep up the dirt roads should
not be furnished tools to do the
work. The prices paid hands on the
roads are small enough to pay for the
labor alone, without having TO fur
nish tools. hope have made my POI
.sition on the road question clear.
Your truly,
M. F. NORTH.
