guest list included sixteen couples, and
all voted this social affair one OF the
happiest ever.

Lawyers Would Change
City Court Sessions
The Bar Met Saturday and Made
Unanimous Recommendation.

The lawyers of the city want the
quarterly terms of the city court of

convenience.
A nation was unanimously adopted
requesting that the change be made,
and Judge Edwards, who presided
over the meeting, appointed the entire

and court decisions aid see if he is
authorized to change the time for
holding the court 1t is too late to adj
vertise and pass through the legisla-
ture at this session an act making the

ing Judge Edwards not to hold the
July term of court, but to adjourn it

AUTOS NOT AS NUMEROUS
AS THEY WERE LAST YEAR
Nearly 200 Less of Them Than There
Were in 1920.

The hard times and business strin-
gency have evidently had the effect OF
reducing the number of automobiles
in Terrell county.
Last year the state sold to residents
of the county OIL licenses for the
operation of automobiles and other
motor vehicles, while this year only
.726 license tags have been issued to
owners of such vehicles, difference
of 1856.
To the casual observer and to pc
destrians crossing the street there
seems to be as many automobiles here
as ever.

MINES LIGHTED BY CANDLES
In South Africa Their Employment
Has Caused an Enormous Demand
Little Used in America.

The gold, diamond and other
mines Of South Africa are enormous
consumers of candles. According to
the commercial year book for 1920
of the Johannesburg chamber Of
commerce, these mines in the pre-
ceding IL months used 9,917,716
pounds Of paraffin ten-ounce candles.
The bulk of these, 8,218,367 pounds,
was consumed in the gold mines of
the Rand.
In the coal mines of the United
States no candles are used, for fear
OF dust explosions, but great many
OF them are burned in our metal
mines. Even in the latter, carbide
lamps are preferred, and these have
been replaced to some extent by cleo
trio lamps fed from small storage
batteries. The battery is attached
to the miners back at the waist, the
cord passing up behind and over his
head to the lamp fixed above his
forehead.

HlTTITE ONCE GREAT EMPIRE
English Scholar Tells Of Ancient Civ
'lization That Held Domination
Over Western Asia.

The Hittites, of whom there is
frequent mention in the Old Testa-
ment, we're discussed by David
George Hogarth of Oxford, Eng
land at the University museum,
Philadelphia. He said that much
had happened in the ten or more
years since he talked in America Of
Hittite civilization. Carchemish, its
southern capital, has been excavated
during eight seasons before the war
and one since, the great progress
has been made in reading the cunei-
form archives Of Hattushash, its
capital in Cappadocio.
Much has been done, he added, to
weave the Hittite more intimately
into the web of the ancient history
of the Near East and to demonstrate
how greatly the geographical range,
both of Mesopotamia and of the
Anatolian peoples and cultures, has
been underestimated.
Several distinct peoples, speaking
different tongues and worshiping
divers gods, shared Hittite culture,
making a group dominating western
Asia from about 600 B. C. back to
an unknown antiquity, the lecturer
said. This Hittite empire must not
be thought of in terms of modern
empires. Little of It was directly or
constantly administered from Cap
padocia. Many districts were only
internationally attached to the crown.
