Reading his message TO the
Joint meeting OF the Senate and
House, in extraordinary session
last night. Governor Richie, in
part said:
81 have called you together in spe-
ciaI session to meet an extraordinary
emergency such an extraordinary
occasion as the Constitution contem-
plates shall alone justify the calling Of
special session OF the Legislature.
"The Nineteenth Amendment to the
Constitution OF the United States has
been ratified. adopted and proclaimed.
Tennessee was accepted by the Fed
eral Government as the thirty-sixth
State: but whatever doubt may have
existed as to the validity of Tennes-
sees act of ratification has been rem
dered immatorial by the subsequent
ratification of the twirty-seventh State
Connecticut There is, therefore, no
longer any doubt that the Nineteenth
Amendment is part of the organic law
of the nation: that under ii the women
of the country have been enfranchised-
and that they will be entitled TO vote
at the approaching and al all subse-
quent elections.
Maryland's Duty
at now becomes the duty of Mary
land to do what Maryland has always
done-namely, abide by judgment
deliberately pronounced in accord
ance with the spirit of oar institu-
tons. whether it be pronounced by a
majority of the people, as in many
cases. or by three-fourths of the
States. as in this case, and abide by
that judgment willingly and cheerful
ly and with hope born of our faith in
our institutions, that constitutional
amendment adopted in accordance
with the orderly processes of our or
ganic law will rebound TO our coun-
try's good.
1T is, therefore, our part to see that
the new franchise conferred by the
Nineteenth Amendment is made COM
plstely effective. Legislation is neces-
sary~for this, because, as | showed in
detail when giving notice of the call
the existing registration laws are en-
tirely inadequate to register, in addi-
ton to the men entitled. even "a rea-
sonable percentage of the women en-
titled. and they are also inadequate to

STYLISH HATS EXHIBITED

From the attractive window. with
its simple display of two or three hats.

disc plume. the other a novel turban
with chiffon sash effect. with a large
pot OF blooming marigold on one side,
graceful vase of red dahlias on the

of what was beyond that window at

today at their main street emporium.
There were dozens of mats, just too
many to choose from, but they were all
so pretty il was difficult to choose.
The days weather was ideal and this
lent to the success of the opening ma
terially. Graceful palms and vases of
pure white roses and sprays of golden
rod, giving an autumn touch, all play
cd their part conspicuously in the
opening, which was attended through
out the day by large numbers of girls
and women.
There were hats for misses and chill
dren. and hats for women, old and
young, dress hats, sport hats, and
every kind of hats. but the run this
season is to soft things, not that the
the soft hat is suggestive of soft
head it crowns. Brims are soft and
''fioppy'' this season and crowns Of
hats are soft, too. Colors are as usual
with perhaps brown leading. There is
much black. an absence of purple, and

Lee Mayse and wife of Centralia
were in to see us Saturday and taking
q look at our new bank. We were
raised with these good people and
played, together many a day when we
were kids and feel an interest in them
and value their friendship very high
~. We think we could convince them
that the Capital is the place to buy
their goods if they would only give US
a trial.
Mrs. Jno. Denser and a party of
friends from Mexico were out to see
us one evening last week and made
some purchases which we appreciate
very much. We hop. to have them
call IN US often.
Do you know we are selling EVERY
READY brand of corn, an extra good
n at $3.50 per dozen, which is only
1914 per can. This is back to pre-war
prices and you should buy it by the
case. You will like it and agree with
US it is a bargain.
Tommy Davenport, who lives north
Of here near Fox school house was
another of our patrons who marketed
poultry Saturday. Tommy is a son Of
j. P. and is starting life with bright
prospects. He married Miss Matte
Lang and they are a very fine couple.
J. P. started him right and Ne is
making good. This couples success
rrcs to show what can be accomplish

team work.
w. L. Littrell, who operates the ],
T. Johnson farm west of here was in
Saturday. Mrs. Littrell is an excel

through an oversight and misunder-
standing we lost the bulk Of their

This has been another heavy poul-
try week. Everybody SENS to be sell
ing off their surplus. As compared
with other meats, the price is holding
up good. Eggs are very scarce and
high. We are paying 76c and not
getting near as many as we need.
Mr.. Anthony Greasy and sister Miss
Lulu were in to see us Saturday
They, and their brother, Will, live
four miles northwest of here and are
mighty fine people. We appreciate
their patronage very much and would

Archie johnson, who lives west of

ways has something to sell and al
ways makes it good, and knows where
to bring it when ready for the market.
Fletcher Sims, who lives three miles
southeast of Mexico on the good 4SO
acre farm purchased last spring, was
in Saturday marketing n Ford load of
poultry. We believe he had more
hens in that jitney than we ever saw
in n car. We had to unload some
of them before he could get out.
Fletcher is kin to our wife's folks
and he and his good wife favor US with
a lot of their patronage. We only
wish we could get them to coming
regularly.
We have some beautiful inlaid Lin
oleum. If you need Linoleum see US.
The quality is high, our price is low.

Gently installed a Baker windmill and

gree, he has made the county a very
capable and efficient Judge, looking
after the interests Of the county the
same as he does his own. We always
enjoy the judges visits and wish he
would come oftener.
Harry Stalcup and wife, who live
north Of here near the Monroe Count
line were here Saturday with poultry
and trading. Harry made the first
