 The ceremony was performed by Rev. W. M. Blackwelder, pastor of the West End Baptist church, and the only at- tendants were MT. and Mrs Henry Francis Beaumont, also of West End, who were particular friends of the bride and her mother.
 After the ceremony, at a late afternoon hour, wedding supper was enjoyed by the newly married couple with limited number of their friends at the Tutwiler hotel

GOOD ROADS FOR LAUDERDALE NOW
 BEING PLANNED
New Board of Commission CTS Start Term by Be- ginning Work in
 This Direction

Florence, January -(special)-Lau derdale is aroused over the subject of building good roads.
 The newly elected court of county com- missioners, after organizing, have taken under consideration the making of more good roads, The first road to be consid- cred is the government post road, leading from the west to the eastern end of the county, the eastern end being known as the Huntsville road and the west end as the Waterloo road
 This is the road upon which the United States government spent S32000 a few years ago The first order of the court was to appropriate $10,000 to be used or the government post road, commencing at Killen and running in the direction of Rogersville. This is one of the roads designated by the state highway de partment upon which that part of the money coming to Lauderdale county under the Bankhead bill, will be spent According to the allotment, Lauderdale is entitled to S10,000
 The court not only ordered this expen- diture, but provided the money with which the work is to be done. They made arrangements for the sale of the county warrants for that purpose The court also appointed committee to have all necessary surveying done, to meet the requirements of the United States gov ernment, so that the work can commence at the earliest possible date.
 On the western end of the government post road, in order to extend the road west they appropriated $4000, the sur veying having already been done by the United States government engineers.
 The court also appropriated $25,000 to be used with a similar sum, by the state highway department, in finishing the Jackson military highway When this is done the Jackson military highway will be a completed. graveled road from the city of Florence to the state line between Alabama and Tennessee
 The state highway department has re- ported to the court that there was due the county of Lauderdale S2500 which will make $5000O to be spent on the Jackson military highway, enough to complete il all the distance.
 All of this work was ordered to be lei by contract to the lowest responsible bid der, who would be required to carry out his contract under the specifications fur nished by the engineer and to give bono for the faithful performance of the con- tract.
 The city commissioners have called g special election of the voters of the city of Florence asking for permission to issuC s4o,OOO bonds for the purpose of com pleting the Coffee high school building now about half completed. When this is done Florence will have one of the fines and best equipped high school buildings in the state.

IF YOU MENTALLY CLING LIKE A LEIGH TO PROBLEMS THEY USUALLY OVERWHELM YOU
Ny DOLLY DALRYMPLE

7F you really come to sift down the
 principles of the Don't Worry move 3S ment, to final analysis, it will be found that the idea is not designed to encourage shiftless habits of thought but rather to discourage intensive think ing
 To think too long or too intently upon any one subject becomes mere morbid breeding that prevents rather than leaos to a sensible conclusion.
 Fear units the mind to cope with dan ger; intensive thinking units the mind to cope with perplexing situation. So little does the average person tnlnk at all, so unprepared are many people to make important decisions that doubt less it is a blessing that most of them have to stay where they are put by CIT cumstances, and make the best of them- selves under restricted conditions If such people had too many opportu- mites they would likely exhaust the vital ity needed for actual decision wondering what decision to come to.
 A big newspaper advertiser-one who believes in local newspaper advertising rather than magazine advertising, tells of an electric vacuum cleaner company that put practically all of it's free capi- tai into a six months magazine adver- tising campaign in the belief that a tre- mendous demand for it's products would result
 The company knew the magazines chosen to have wide circulations and to be fine advertising mediums, but subse- quent investigations proved that in little less than three-fourths of the towns in which that advertising appeared that there was no electric current, and this was an electric cleaner, dependent upon a central current.
 Here a little we'll directed investiga- ton might have advantageously taken the place of over thinking along one line.
 If, however, you consider any proposi- ton from every standpoint you are likely to think around in a circle and reach no definite conclusion-hence, you must keep only the big issues before the mind and let circumstances lend guiding hand
 Circumstance over which few mortals have any control has little way of fre- quently holding trump cards against which our little "sixes" and "sevens" of other suits and personal ideas are swept into oblivion.
 Life always has Vesuvius-ike possibili- ties lurking in the background; when vol canoes burst forth the best laid plans of temples of human building sink into nothingness; chance has played the joker and taken the trick. It is good thing to bring ourselves to realize that nothing save eternity lasts forever and so it is wise to think over | calmly and soberly rather than excitedly what affects your career; accustom your minds to weighing many things in a sort 1 of casual way and getting at their proper values; in other words, to culti-
