Dollars are plentiful, more plenti-
full, perhaps, than ever before in
the history of the world; but, as is
always the case, The few have
too many, and the many have too
few"
With many of the every day
necessities of life, three dollars
scarcely buys what single dollar
bought several years ago; to you,
friends of the too few" class, isn't
it worth while to shop where the
same money will buy more and
better goods?

SOME EATS

To give the public an idea of what an eating place Me Crory is, MT. Geo. H.. Proulx has given us a statement of the amount of beef he has used in his popular restaurant since he opened the same in his new location October 1, 1917, to March 16, 1918.
 During the above short per- iod, and notwithstanding the fact that the meatless days were strictly adhered to, MT. Proulx received from a packing house in Memphis 43 forequarters of beef of which the total weight was 5,721 pounds and Mrs. Proulx cook ed every pound of it.
 Taking into consideration that the place was never open on Sunday, Thanksgiving or Christmas and that there are two other restaurants in the city, one can see that we eat in McCrory. MT. Proulx makes a specially. of stewed beef and brown gravy and the celebrat- ed southern baked hash, hence the large amount of meat con- sumed. adv.

"WOMANLESS WEDDING"
 A GREAT SUCCESS

On Tuesday evening, March 26, 1918, the High School audi torium was the scene of one of the most artistic weddings ever seen in McCrory or in any other city of ten times it's size. The auditorium was filled to overfiowing,, and the corridors and walks for several blocks leading up to the school build ing was damned with anxious people who wished to pay their respects to the contract ing parties, MT. H. w. Jerni- gan and Miss" Leslie Sturdi- want, both of McCrory.
 The music, preliminary to the marriage ceremony, ren- dered by Misses Della Jeffries, and Freida Williams and Les ter Lewis and Red" Jeffries, brought forth hearty applause. Also the Last Rose of Summer, sung by the much" renowned soloist, Chas. B. Cook, deserv- es honorable mention.
 Following the musical in- troduction came the ushers, AIessrs. Lester Lewis and Jac- ob Arnof, who posed very gracefully and introduced to the audience the members of the Guests of Honor and the Bridal Party.
 After the bride, Miss" Les lie Sturdivant and the groom MT. Jernigan, had wended their way to the altar and all members of the bridal party together with the ring bear CT, Little Miss" Joseph Cros- sett, and flower girl, Little Miss" Bob Drewry, had taken their respective places and Y ere standing at attention, "Dr." w. w. Raney said the folio ' ing ceremony in a most impressive and earnest man. ner:
 Dearly beloved! In as much as Sarah Ann-Has decided to marry this man,
 And has succeeded in drag glng him here-It becomes my simple duty clear
 To ask of them these ques- tions, a feW-As. to just what each one of them will do.
 Hiram, wilt thou take this woman for thy welded wife, And promise to obey her each day of your life?
 Will you always greet her with tender caress-And buy for her each year, a brand new dress?
 Will you stay at home every night in the week?-And an- swer her always in accents meek?
 Will you give her all the money you make?-And new CT for your own a penny take?

you'll earnestly try-Let it be known by saying Aye.
 Sarah Ann, gaze upon this man-Will you try to mold him as clay in your hand?
 Will you give him each week dime of his own-And re- quire an account of just where it has gone?
 Will you guide him in poli- tics and business to-Select the style of his clothes and even his shoe?
 Will you never allow him to answer you back = Employ him at home when business is slack?
 Make him mind the children and the garden till-The an- sWer to all these is ''I will"
 Is there anyone in this audi ence who can-Say why Hi cam should not marry Sarah Ann?
 When Hiram places this ing on your hand-You be- come the boss Sarah Ann.
 Rule him always with an iron hand-And you'll be ap- 3Iauded throughout this land.
 1 now pronounce you hus- band and wife-May your lives be entirely free from strife.
 And to you both 1 give my hand-I congratulate you Sa- .ah-But Oh! you man.
 The bride was "dolled up" in the latest bridal costume, and in every particular "she" vas an object of admiration and envy. The occasion was a bowling success and had only one thing to mar the happi- ness of all attendants, and this was the constant crying and interruptions made by Little Miss" George Barber, the sis ter of the bride. Little Miss" George seemed so grieved that her" big sister, Miss" Leslie qas marrying out of the fam fly.
 At the conclusion of the ceremony the usual congratu- iations were extended and sweet smiles of contentment ould be seen twinkling on the tender lips of Mrs" H. w. Jernigan, while the sombre countenance of MT. Jernigan indicated that he was supreme ly happy because of his re- cent accomplishment.
 Probably the most interest ing feature of the Woman less Wedding" is the fact that the neat little sum of $78.00 was collected to be used in re- pairing the Methodist Parson age.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS UNSTABLE. Rails Were Strong, But There Was
 Pressure Against Industrials.

New York, May 2S.-The strength of rals and renewals of pressure against inGustrials and specialties were the sharply defined features Of today's ac- tive but unstable stock market.
 These divergent movements were regarded as the direct result of such recent developments as the railroad rate increase and the government s proposed taxation programme, the lat ter bearing most heavily upon war shares and kindred issues.
 Over all, however. hung the foreign situation, bulletins from the western battle front contributing scattered liquidation and giving further encour- agement to the short interest
 Selling was at it's height just be- fore noon, when steels, equipments and speculative issues as a whole reacted two to five points, Sumatra Tobac- co making sheer descent of almost eleven points
 On the increased activity of the last hour prices rallied sharply, in some instances showing actual gains as against the severe reverlals of the forenoon. U. s. Steel closed at a loss of a nominal fraction, Sumatra made up the greater part of it's loss and rails were at their best. Sales amount ed to 950.000 shares.
 More stringent conditions prevailed in the money market, presumably in anticipation of the heavy shifting of loans due to the 20 per cent payment on third Liberty issue. Italian ex- change experienced another slump with fires at the new minimum of 916 for demand bills.
 Bonds of various classes were in- clined to ease, Liberty 2nd 4's at 9i26 and the 1-2's at 97.20 establishing new low records, the 1-2's (tax ex- empt) also reacting. Total sales (par value) aggregated $S, 900.

Putnam High School Wins.
Special to The Bulletin)

Putnam, May 2S.-Monday afternoon the P. H. S. baseball team again de- monstrated it's superiority over the State Trade School on the High School field by a score of 15-9 Only in one inning did the Trade School show any real baseball and that was the sixth when the High School coach, endeavor- ing to save Maher's strength for the Southbridge game Wednesday sub stituted Mansfield who had been out of the game for several weeks and a combination of walks errors and two hits brought the Trade School up to nine runs. with the exception of this inning they showed very poor baseball ability with the exception of Clemens who pitched hard and steadily im- proving game. Donlon worked hard and gave him fine support. At all times throughout the game, Maher held his opponents at his mercy, and in the ninth inning he clinched his own game by driving out a three base hit scoring two runs. Woodson held all men on first and there was practical ly no stealing. Putnam batting did not come up to average in spite of fifteen hits and the loss of Dobson's S bat was keenly felt. Putnam showed some improvement on the inside of

Why Not Stop Other Texas Sports
 As We'll As Boxing.

Mir. Blanton. one of the Texas mem bers of the House. of Representatives, appears to be perturbed greatly over the fact that some persons see fit to attend boxing exhibitions. MT. Blan- ton got into the papers with the an nouncement that he was considering the introduction of a bill which would levy tax of $25 on each person at tending boxing bout and a tax of 75 per cent. of the gross receipts at every show.
 We are glad that Mir Blanton is only considering the introduction of such a bill We doubt very much if the House will worry if he fails to bring the bill before it. Perhaps MT. Blanton had better first see that the dog and cock fights which are such edifying spec tacles in Texas sporting circles are done away with before he entertains any ideas regarding boxing. We do not believe the folks down in Texas ever did see real boxing match. As for MT. Blanton's proposition ever re- ceiving consideration, those who like the sport refuse to tremble in trepida- tiOn

New York, May 2S.-That Georges Carpenter, the French heavyweight, has not lost his punching or boxing skill as result of his three years service in the army was conclusively demonstrated recently at the expense of an American boxer who took ring liberties with the French pugilist It was Sergeant Ray William of the American Army who tried to rough it with Carpenter in the first round of boxing exhibition at St. Afghan, Loir- et-Cher. As a result William was knocked out in the second round and the memory of that right swing to the chin will finger in Sergeant Will iam's memory for years to come.
 A crowd of more than 10, o00 wit messed the athletic sports at St.Aig- nan. General Cottez of the French army presided, with Brigadier Gen erals Alexander and Volruth of the American army assisting After An derson had won the hundred yards in 12 seconds, the 220 in 2S and Steele had broken the tape for the mile race in 5.34 minutes, four round, or rather what was to have been a four round boxing exhibition. was put on with the French champion Georges Carpenter and Sergeant Ray William as the contestants.
 Cheered by his friends among the spectators William started in with a rush that nearly took the French champion off his feet he planted some heavy blows to the head and body and Carpenter was surprised; he had expected mere sparring exhibition William had the best of the first round and was loudly applauded as he went to his corner.
 It was plain to all that Carpenter meant business when he stepped out for the second round. He feinted William into a knot. jabbed him lightly in the stomach with his left which caused the American to lower his guard and crossed him right to the chin and William went down and out. The round had lasted ten sec onds.
 After William came to, he shook hands with Carpenter and said: T got mine, I am satisfied" Later he ex- plained to a friend that he under stood now why they spelled il Georges: There are so many oi him." he said.
