As bachelor he had come here on his first trip, and as a bachelor he was expected again. But when the handsome captain alighted from the train there walked at his side a beautiful young woman whom he intro duced as his wife.
 Miss Gertrude Wilkins Greiner she was. and she came from England to marry Captain Campbell They had been sweet hearts for several years, but the cruel war had kept them apart practically all of the time At first Captain Campbell was in France; then he came to this couEtry as instructor in aviation, and since it looked like an indefinite assign ment for him 1t was arranged that Miss Greiner come on over and they were married.
 So well did they keep the secret of their approaching marriage that none of the captain friends or associates knew Of it until it was over.
 The marriage ceremony was performed by Rev. E. Elmore of the Second Presbyterian church of Chattanooga. Tenn. last Friday evening.

 The question was brought up at the meeting of the commission yesterday morning, and there were several speeches heard on the issues involved. Dr. A. ]. Dickinson, pastor of the First Baptist church, and candidate for Congress. attacked the advisablity of the city re- ferring the matter to the people, and urged that the city throw 1t out without further consideration.
