WOMANLESS WEDDING
WAS GREAT SUCCESS

The Womanless Wedding staged
at the Courthouse Thursday night,
November 25, was huge success
from all standpoints. Our former
prediction as to acting abilities of
the various individuals taking part,
was more than fulfilled.
The men who were disguised as
members of the so-called fairer sex,
In many cases had it all-over their
wives, (this is not for their wives)
in many respects, for instance, take
Kelley Riley, Nut Hunter and even
Rol Riley, they appeared so much more
portly than their better halves, not
to mention many others. The cos
tunes worn by the great majority
were dazzling in splendor. Fine
silks, dainty ribbons and bewitching
yellow curls were much in evidence,
as was paint, powder and rouge. Real
ly it was exceedingly difficult for the
audience to recognize many of the
troupe, and all who attended were
loud in their praise of the whole af-
fair. Two performances were given,
owing to the numbers attending. The
Courtroom was packed for the first
performance, yet not filled to the dis
comfort of the audience, as the doors
were closed when it was seen that not
all could be accommodated At the
second performance the house was
about three-fourths filled.
While all of those who had part
in the entertainment, directly, as
actors. therein, were males, yet the
management of the affair was entire
ly in the hands of Ladies, members of
the Parent-Teacher Association and
due to their untiring efforts the net
sum of $4,000, was turned into the
treasury of the association.

Courthouse In Path;
Many Lose.

Cadiz, KY, Nov. 29-Sparks from
match dropped in a wooden shed
where a gasoline engine had been
kept, ignited the shed, destroyed the
Cadiz Hotel, the Trigg County Court
House and swept two entire business
blocks of the town, doing approx
mately 100000 damage here this af-
ternoon. The match is said to have
been dropped by little negro boy.
The volunteer fire department work
ed from 1:45 o'clock until against
a high wind in an effort to subdue
the flames. Rain which fell later
helped make up for the low pressure
in the pipes of the city waterworks,
and the cessation of the wind did
much to save the other two nearby
city blocks. Insurance in the burn
ed district is placed at from SIS, OOO,-
to 100000. The county court house
was erected at cost of $4,000.
Business houses destroyed includ-
ed the Farmers Bank, the Turner
Wilkinson department store, Hollo-
ways mems furnishing store, Boyd's
produce store, Hamlin's garage,
Adams restaurant, Hendricks gro
Gerry, Cunningham's livery stable,
Parents Sons produce house, the resi-
dence of T. F. Mcbride and other
small buildings and offices. The fire
is said to have been the largest in the
history of Trigg County.
The Cadiz Bank building was badly
damaged, but was not destroyed. All
buildings were two stories except the
hotel, athree-story structure. County
authorities report $4,000 insurance
on the court house. The fire was un-
der control at nightfall:

eral Obregon declared that the Con-
sttution of 1917 delivered too much
power to the chief executive without
providing sufficient responsibilities,
and that It was the exercise of these
almost tyrannical powers by Carranza
that led to the revolution against him.
The proposed law would make the
President subject to trial II he in any
way restrained the liberties of voters
or attempted to prejudice elections,
either federal or state; IL he exerted
pressure upon Congress or the Su-
preme Court to influence their &C
lions; IL he attacked the sovereignty
of any state; II he were party to
the formal administration of public
funds or concluded treaties with for
eign powers without the consent Of
Congress.
The various members OF the cabi-

not opposing the chief executive in
such illegalities.
