Will Appeal to President.


 In two cases that have been dis allowed by the board the claimants have expressed their intention of ap- pealing to the president for a reversal of the decision of the board. One is the case of Charles J. Lawson from up in Yavapai. Evidence submitted tended to show that Lawson's wife k wealthy and capable of caring for her self while Lawson goes to war.
 The other is that of George H. Daags. from the northern part of the State. His claim for exemption was based on stock interests he had, also on the ground that he has depend ent wife, which claim was disailowed by the local board and the appeal de- nied by the district board. The thing that is believed to have moved the board to disallow the occupational claim is the fact that Daggs has a brother and father both in the cattle business in the same territory as George is working, and that they would take his business over in his absence.
 Among others whom the board thought there was no reason why they should not do military duty, were:
 George C. Creslow. Winslow, agri- culture and stock, denied.

A Wedding of White and Gold

lied In the CITY ol Onoion"
that of Miss Mary Lucille Chand-
Ter to Capt. Vesta Thompson,
which took place at the colonial
home of Mr.. and Mrs. K. W.
Chandler Wednesday evening
July 18th, at $50 o'clock. AT
the appointed hour, with Mrs
Morgan at the piano, Misses
! Mary L. Thornton and Jaunlta
Neubert rendered beautifully
Songs suitable to the occasion.
AS the sweet solemn strains OF
the wedding march pealed forth
the bride and groom and their
attendants, taking their places,
formed a pretty and impressive
picture. This being a military
affair everything was most ap-
nropriate in a sylvan setting.
The elegant porch, which served
as stage and contained the
bridal party, was very suggestive
of a Shakespearian drama as en-
acted by the nobility in years
gone by, when every scene was
made most beautiful. Soon the
marriage vows were spoken and
the halo of happiness shone
brightly upon the newly welded
pair. =.
Miss Mary Lucille is one OF
Northeast Mississippi's most be-
loved favorites, of queenly ap-
pearance whose presence seems
to rebate sunshine, cheer and
optimism; of a gentle, affection
ate. unselfsh disposition and
none could we'll know her but to
love her. She looked her Lowell
lest in an elegant gown OF white
satin en- train with pearl and
duchess lace trimmings, ano
made a perfect picture as she
leaned on the arm of her father
The happy groom is a popular
army officer from Mobile, Ala,
and has hosts of friends where
{ ever he goes, which was mani
tested by the many handsome
, presents showered upon himsel
and bride.

Of civilian footwear, according TO I'm
Gle Sans consul at Huddersfield.
II is proposed that four classes shall

from lbs. TO les. Cd. (S3.l8 to $4) per
pair, and those for boys and youths
los. Cd. (S2.55) and above. These
standardized boots will be especially
