MAN ELOPES WITH WIFE
IN NEARLY MARRIED

Inc story of NEARLY Married." the
new Goldwyn Picture starring Madge
Ihf,,ennedy, to be seen at the Pastime
theatre Tuesday, March 12. details
the adventure of a pair of young new
ly-weds, Harry and Betty, separated
because Harry declines to permit Bet
ty's brother, Dick, to accompany them
on their honeymoon.
;. bellevlng that Betty really wants a
divorce, which seems ell the more
likely because Dick, who is Just ol.cn-
ing a law practice. is threatening le-
gal action on his sisters behalf, Harry
enllsts the legal advice of his friend
Tom Robinson: and Robinson, in turn
engages the services of Hattie King,
professional correspondent, who will
compromise Harry for the sum of 4
thousand dollars and expenses.
The separation continues for several
months, with the principals thorough
ly miserable; and then Tom Robin
son, and his wife, Gertrude, who is a
friend of Betty, compare notes and
conclude that it was all mistake and
that it is their place to bring the
couple together again. Accordingly
they arrange meeting which is quite
successful in most particulars.
Harry makes satisfactory eApla-
nation to Betty, and they elope in his
racing car. The Robinsons exchange
congratulations, but are speedily
thrown into CONSERVATION when Dick
appears, announcing that the divorce
has been granted, and that if his sis
ter goes off with Harry, she will be a
ruined woman. A chase ersues, the
pursuing party being augmented By
the appearance Of Hattie.
The outcome Of this situation is
thrilling in the extreme

SHORT STORIES
OF Local Interest-Clipped From
Our Exchanges.

Mrs. Chas. Bateman died at her
home in Adrian Wednesday of last
week.
Marshal Bankson, of Rich Hill, has
resigned and the Mayor has appoint
ed Gus Elgert to fill the vacancy.
The Hume Telephone says that the
boys from that town who were with
the 3sth division, which took part in.
the big battle of the Argonne Woods
are all safe.
Two Adrian boys, VIM. Oats. jr..
and Cecil Lankford, have received
slight wounds during the recent
heavy fighting in France according
to information received by relatives.
Relatives of Fred Nation, an APP
pleton City boy, who was in the
Navy, were last week officially mott
fled of his death at some point over
seas. Death was result of influ-
enza.
1t had been planned to lift the ban
on all public gatherings at Adrian
Sunday and proceed in the usual way
but Friday several new cases of in
fluenza developed and the officers
deemed it best not to take any
chances OF an unnecessary spread of
the disease and put the lid on again,
says last weeks Adrian Journal,
A telegram was received at Rock
vile last week announcing that
Luther Stacy, one of Rockville's
brave boys had sacrificed his life on
a battle field of France, September
g. No particulars are available, the
telegram merely carried the informa-
ton of his death, says the Review.
The Green Light and Power Co..
of Pleasant Hill, turned on their high
tension lights in Adrian last week
thus giving the city 24-hour service
at a reduced price over what we have
been paying. The new system is fine
and the streets now will be lighted
from dark to dawn. This will be an
improvement over the old system.
The 24-hour service will also be con-
venient Tor power and domestic pur-
poses.-Adrian Journal.
Following the order Of the City
Board of Health, as published last
week.. lifting the influenza ban or
Sunday, the order was deemed in
conflict with the county order and
was officially declared "off" until
further notice. There are some cases
of the disease i'll town and country
but none of an alarming nature No
time has been set as to when the ban
will be lifted, hence all public meet.

Louisiana Defeats. Woman Suffrage
by Only 1000.

New York, November o-Louis-
lana defeated the woman suffrage
amendment to it's Constitution on
election day by fewer than 1000
votes, according to telegram re-
ceived by the National Woman SUIT
frage Association, III Madison ave-
nue.. As Louisiana is the first South
ern State to hold referendum on
suffrage, its defeat by so slight
margin was felt by the association
members to be a distinctly encour-
aging sign OF the gain in suffrage
sentiment throughout the South. .
The amendment carried at all
points in the state outside of New
Orleans, but the majority of 5000
votes against it in that city was too
large to be overcome. The telegram
was sent by Mrs. Lydia Wickliffe
Holmes, president of the Louisiana
Woman Suffrage party.
