CANDIDATE FOR COMMISSIONER
VISITS MOUNTAIN HOME.

G. K. Higgins, of Atlanta, a candi
date for the Republican nomination
= for commissioner up in the third dis,
trict, was visitor in Mountain
Home from Sunday to Monday. He
is making a hurried trip over the
county to get In touch with the
voters and to present his claim, or,
rather, the claim of his section OF
the county, to the position for which
he has been nominated.
Mr.. Higgins says that the people of
Atlanta are very greatly interested
in retaining the position which has
always been accorded them on the
ticket and in the county government.
That community Is differently situat-
ed than any other section. 1t Is the
most isolated part of the county.
Mr.. Higgins expressed his views
on the matter of road Improvement
as follows: Il am a firm believer
in the proposition that good roads
are about as essential to the well be-
ing aud prosperity of a county or q
community as are veins and arteries
to the human system, and il l am
elected to the position of commits
sioner l shall use all honorable means
to secure the greatest possible I'm
in the highway system Of
the county within the means of our
resources without placing too great
a burden upon the taxpayers. | also
believe that all parts of the county
are entitled to reasonably satisfactory
stage service, and | feel that all fadr
minded people Will agree with me in
his, even if it is necessary to ap-
Dropriate little more than an
even share of the road funds for the
purpose of keeping the roads in a
airly passable condition to make
'egular and dependable stage service
possible. The maintenance of our
Dads in the hill district is not ex-
'ensye during the summer months,
% 1t is no more than fair that we
hould have some aid in keeping the
Dad open during the winter, at least
o far as the stage line extends.
Mr.. Higgins has had some expert
nee in matters of county government,
ie served one term as deputy asses {
or OF Ada county and during that l
me had very good opportunity of [
tudying many Of the problems with
,hich county commissioners ar econ @
'onted. t

ual beauty when their daughter
Miss Jean, became the wife of
MIR. James CALVIN Lindsay of
Saint Pauls', N. Q. on Tues day
evening, Jan. 18th at six O'Clock.
The ceremony room was beau
tlful In decorations, characueriz
ed by simplicity, an arch of
white with delicate tracery of
green fern, from the center of
which was suspended a large
heart, making a most fitting
marriage altar. The familiar
strains of Mendelsohns wedding
march, beautifully rendered by
Miss Thema Rowe, announced
the approach of the bridal party.
Miss McGregor accompanied by
Miss MathasOn of Bennettsville
slowly descended the stairway.
while Mr.. Lindsay attended
by DR.. Nash of Saint fauls ad-
vanced to meet them. The at.
tendants preceded the bride
and groom taking their places on
the right and left respectively.
They were followed by Miss Nc.
Gregor and Mr.. Lindsay, who
taking their positions immedi-
ately under the heart plighted
their troth and became one.
The ceremony was impressively
performed by the Rev. j. Il.
Millard, the brides pastor.
The soft radiance of many can
dies, tall vases of white carna-
tions and trailing ivy aud grand
pine made a setting particularly
beautiful for so important an
event in the lives of this de-
servedly popular couple. A de.
lghtful buffet luncheon was
served Immediately after the
ceremony. Only the immediate
family and a few close friends
were present.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lindsay, amid 9
shower of rice and good wishes
departed for parts unknown. Af'
ter February they will be a.
