Freeman, were united in marriage, Rev. c. L. Hammock, pastor of the Baptist church, performing the cere- mony. Mrs. Tom Mclean presided at the organ and played Because" and "The Sweetest Story Ever Told" in addition to the wedding march. Mrs. R. D. Smith sang "All For You" George Mahan of Mem phis, brother of the groom, was best man, and Miss Lillian Freeman, sis- ter of the bride, was brides maid. Messrs. D. P. Hilton and Hartell Toney were ushers. The bride wore coat suit of blue tricotine, black hat with blue Georgette crown, brown suede pumps, and carried a bridal boquet of white roses, white sweet peas and white lilies of the valley. Miss Lillian Freeman wore an orchid shade organdie dress and carried pink killarney roses. The bridal couple left on the six twenty five train for New Orleans where they took passage on a steamer to New York. They will also go to Chicago and expect to return to Ma rianna within thirty days.
 The bride is one of the most at tractive young ladies in Marianna. She has lived here all her life and graduated from the Marianna High School year ago. The groom is the Mariaraa representative of Coate Bros, cotton dealers of Memphis. During the war he was in the avia- tion branch of the service, holding commission as lieutenant. He went to France with the first flying corps sent from this country, but on account of an injury to his knee re- ceived several years ago in a foot ball game, he was permitted to do little flying. He was mustered out of the service several months ago and returned to Marianna to resume his cotton business.
 Among the out of town guests here for the wedding were B. B. West, Fred Coate, Mike Kelly and Geo. Mahan, wife and daughter, Miss Elizabeth Ann, of Memphis, and Miss Jessie Mahan of Memphis, sis ter of the groom; and James Wolf of Forrest City.

ELKS DO HONOR 10 OLD GLORY
BEAUTIFUL FLAG DAY EXER- CISES FEATURED BY EXCEL LENT ADDRESS BY HON. SMEAD POWELL.

While June IA is officially desig- mated as Flag Day, the Elks of Mari anna, under authority granted by the Grand Exalted Ruler, held the exercises on yesterday afternoon, due to the fact that June 14 comes on Saturdays most inappropriate time for holding public meetings. The program was rendered in the Methodist church beginning at three o'clock. Prior to that hour the Elks assembled at their home and march ed in a body to the church, each Elk bearing small flag. Mrs. Tom Mclean presided at the organ and and the audience sang "The Star Spangled Banner" which wass fol- lowed by the regular ritualistic work by the officers of the lodge with Ex- alted Ruler M. E. Newborn presid- ing. Prayer was offered by the Rev. C.. c. Burke, rector of St. An drew's church. The history of the flag was read by Chas. Mckee and the Elks' tribute to the flag was read by H. M. Jackson.
 Following the ritualistic work Hon. Smead Powell, of Camden, one of the most gifted orators in the state, delivered most inspiring ad- dress on the flag, his theme being American Idealism." The address differed from the usual Flag Day ad- dress in that the speaker dealt largely with facts and with histori- cal incidents that illustrated and emphasized the wonderful part play ed by the American spirit of ideal ism in building up great govern ment here and in bringing all the nations of the world to an apprecia- tion of the fact that the American way of dealing with governmental problems at home and in shaping re- lationships between nations is the correct theory. Necessarily in an address of this character the speaker took occasion to breifly review some of the outstanding features of the great war and the magnificent part America had played in it, and how the American spirit of idealism has largely dominated the peace confer ence. MT. Powell was frequently interrupted with hearty applause when he scored telling points again st German intrigue and brutality.

MOONSHINERS FORM UNION
 IN EAST TENNESSEE

Knoxville, Tenn.--Moonshiners of East Tennessee are reported to have formed a union to keep up their set standard of prices and cooperate for the betterment of their interests and in anticipation of the day when John Barleycorn becomes one of the relics of the nation. Information to this effect was announced here by Captain William LeFevers and w. L.. Mcdonald, deputy internal revenue collectors, upon returning from a series of successful raids. It was stated that recently one of the mem- bers of the organization was found guilty of underselling his fellow moonshiners and was severely horse whipped. Captain LeFevers stated that stranger to a section in Blount county, known as "No Mans Land," was recently run down by mountaineers, stripped of his cloth ing, brush piled under him and lighted, but that when the twigs began to crackle he made a dash for liberty and the last seen of him he was going down hill like rab- fbit.

BRICKEY CLIMBS
 TO BIG POSITION
FORMER SECRETARY MARIAN MA COMMERCIAL CLUB BEcOM- ES GENERAY MANAGER HOUS- TON C. OF (.

Garland s. Brickey, former sec retary of the Marianna Commercial Club, who left here a year ago to become general manager of the Chamber of Commerce of Beaumont, Texas, has resigned his position with that organization to become general manager of the Chamber of Com merce at Houston, Texas, at q sal ary of $7,500 year. MT. Brickey made a most excellent record at Beaumont, Texas, and from extracts from the Beaumont papers it is apparent the Beaumont organization regrets very much his decision to go to Houston. The Beaumont Enter prise in a recent issue printed a splendid picture of MT. Brickey and accompanied it with the following announcement about his change in positions:
 Garland s. Brickey, for the past year general manager of the Beau mont Chamber of Commerce, was chosen general manager of the Hous- ton Chamber of Commerce at a meeting of the executive body of the latter organization yesterday. His tentative resignation, which has been before the board of directors of the Beaumont Chamber of Commerce some months, will become effective June 15, at which time MT. Brickey will assume charge of the Houston commercial organization.
 A substantial increase in salary was one of the primary reasons prompting MT. Brickey to change po- sitions. His new contract calls for a salary of $7,50O per year with splendid opportunity for advance ment. MT. Brickey succeeds James c. George, who resigned as general manager of the Houston Chamber of Commerce to head the newly or ganized Texas Chamber of Com merce with headquarters. ir Dallas.
 While reluctant to leave Beau mont and the many loyal friends I have made there, feel that I would be overlooking splendid opportuni- ty in failing to accept the offer made me at Houston," said MT. Brickey over the long distance phone from Galveston where he has been spending a few days. People of Beaumont have splendid organiza- tion and Beaumont is undoubtedly one of the most. progressive cities in the entire south and your future is certain" MT. Brickey will return to Beaumont today.
 MT. Brickey came to Beaumont in March, 1918, from his home in Ma rianna, Arkansas, and succeeded the late Chas. s. Bone as general man. ager of the Beaumont Chamber of Commerce. Aggressive and active, he is peculiarly we'll qualified for commercial organization work. He made an enviable record in Beau mont, the membership of the Cham Der of Commerce being doubled dur ing the past year and likewise the revenue.

Pays S427, 500. For
 Crittenden Earn,

Memphis, June 12.-A. E. Jen- nings of this city has just closed a deal for a 1900 acre plantation in Crittenden County, Ark, for which he paid $427,500, or $225 an acre. This is said to be a record price. The plantation, which was the prop erty of E. A. Stacy, of Stacy, Ark, lies between Mensha and Waupan- oca lakes, bordering on Mississippi county. The rapid advance of ag- ricultural lands in Crittenden county is attested to by the fact that Mir. Stacy bought the land in 1915 for $52.50 an acre and sold it for $225.

Cotton Outlook Is
 More FuUOrabLe

Washington, June 11.-Weathel conditions during the week ending June 10 generally were more favor able both for cultivation and pro- gress of the cotton crop than hereto fore, according to the weekly wealth CT and crop bulletin of the Depart ment of Agriculture.
 Progress was satisfactory in most sections from the Mississippi valley eastward but growth was retarded in the more western portion of the belt by continued cool weather. While conditions were favorable for cultivation, and this work has made satisfactory progress during the week, there still were many com- plaints of grassy fields and lack of labor for needed cultivation.
 Conditions of the crop continued good in the more eastern portions of the belt and it was reported as satisfactory in Louisiana and parts of Alabama, but poor in other locali- ties of the latter state. Also poor in Mississippi and parts of Tennes- see. It varied from poor to satis- factory in southern Arkansas, but not generally good in northern por- tions of the state. The condition and stand were satisfactory in some central and southern portions of Texas, but very poor elsewhere. It continued too wet and cool in Ok lahoma and cotton made slow pro- gress; the condition was satisfactory in the southeast portion but poor elsewhere and the stand generally is unsatisfactory and the fields grassy. -r---s-+-- s-.s-
