SHOWER FOR BRIDES.

The Villa Rica New Era of last
week had the following:
A lovely social event was the mis-
cellaneous shower given in honor of
Misses Annie Marchman and Floye
Powell by Mrs. Ernest Powell and
Mrs. W. II. Malone, Jr., at her beau
tiful new home.
The library, living room and the
dining room were artistically decorat-
ed with pink chrysanthemums, green
potted plants and pink hearts.
After the guests had assembled
they were asked to write bit of ad-
vice and a wish on hand-painted
cards for future reference of the
brides-elect. These furnished much
merriment and when finished were
sealed and marked "To be opened on
the honeymoon, and presented 4
the brides-t -to-be. If every wish
comes true and all advice is faith
fully taken they viii surely be for
tunate brides.
The doors of the library were then
opened and the brides ushered in to
a table containing two pink-draped
baskets overflowing with packages
of every description. Half the fun
came in seeing the brides, one at
time, open the lovely gifts which at
tested the many friends of the popu-
lar girls.
The color scheme of pink was
beautifully carried out in the deli
cious refreshments, which were
chicken sandwiches, punch, cakes,
iced with pink and candy souvenirs
tied with pink ribbon.

AMERICAN REFUGEES IN
IN MEXICO FOLLOW
IN ARMY'S wake

Like the fight of the children OF
Egypt more than 500 refugees fol
lowed in the wake of the American
expeditionary forces on their march
out of Mexico An American cattle
man who came to the border at Co
lumbus, New Mexico, Sunday said
the refugees were strung out along
the communication trail for more than
five miles behind the main column o.
General Pershing's troops, and were
cnveloped in great cloud of dust.
Mormons were riding in automo
schooner type, in farm wagons, and Oh
horses and mules, according to the
,attleman They were driving theii
mich cows ahead of them, while be
lind tramped hundreds OF natives
Chinese and others who had no mean
IF transportation on the long trek t
,he border. Nothing that could b.
brought out was left behind, it wa
,aid and many of the settlers in the
beautiful valley OF the Casas Grande
river carried all of their family pos
-cssions with them.
From Ojo Federico to Tres Papel
otes (three windmills) is consideret
the worst part of the journey to tho
3order. There is no water in thi
stretch of twenty miles, and the coun
assemblies a desert with sand, bar,
grass and cactus Many of the ref
ugees who are hiking" on foot ar,
expected to suffer on this part of the
trip out.
National guard encampments here
which have been abandoned since th
troops went home, will be used Il
'louse the refugees until they car- fisit
homes A large number of vacan
tent houses and mess shacks at tho
amp OF the Pennsylvania troops have
been offered the Mormon leaders here
and will probably be accepted by tn,
refugees.
General Pershing's column was ex
Dected to reach Laguna de Paloma
Yesterday. A general review will b.
held there Sunday. after the rear
guard cavalry arrives from Colonif
Dublan. The entire expedition will
then march into Columbus from Palo
mas. a distance of seven midles. Il
IS expected that this last march will
take place Monday

WOULD PAY WITNESS FEES

Witnesses in criminal actions heard
in humboldt county will be granted
fees and mileage if Assembly bill No.
2S, introduced by Ducker of Hum
boldt county, becomes law. The
bill was referred to the Humboldt
County Delegation.
Under the present law no fees or
mileage are provided, according to
Ducker, and considerable hardship is
worked on men who have been COM
PEELED to travel long distances in re-
spending to subpenas. Many of the
witnesses, in order to secure compen-
sation, have taken the paupers oath,
and then were allowed expenses by
the court.

Of $3.50 daily to the witnesses and
mileage at the rate of 10 cents per

The enacting clause OF the original

1t has developed that the enrolled
