Man Marries Mother of Woman That
Was Divorced from Him.

Cedar Rapids, Kan. Nov. 5. -
George Butler, Alburnett farmer,
married into the Davis family some
years ago, but whether he liked the
experience or not is puzzling to his
friends.
Some time ago he and his wife
were divorced and now he has mar
ried his mother-in-law, or rather the
mother-in-law that was. The cere-
mony was performed at Marion ear
~ in the week, but the relationship
existing between the two did not
become known until some days la
ter.
It could not be ascertained on
what grounds the couple was divorc-
ed, but neighbors say Butler began
paying ardent attention to Mrs. Ju-
liza Davis shortly after the divorce
and it was no surprise to them when
the marriage was announced
The former Mrs. Butler lived with
her mother up until the time Of the
marriage but 1t Is not known II she
will continue to make her home
there.
Under the new arrangement But
Ter becomes the stepfather Of his for
mer wife. his own stepfather and
the grandfather Of his own children.
Both Butler and his wife are well to
do.

Lincoln Men Get in
Trouble at Vicksburg

Two young white men giving their
names as Jim and Weston Hudson,
gave the police lively chase and
created considerable excitement in
the neighborhood Of police headquar-
ters shortly after noon today when
they made break for liberty while
being questioned following their ar
rest by officer Graves at Washington
and Crawford streets, but a short
time before.
Then men dashed out of the police
office and one ran into the postoffice
with Chief Tucker and officer Gra-
YES in hot pursuit and then out a
gain toward the K. c. lot where he
was captured by the officers who had
fired several shots in the air to stop
him, and with Clarke Smith of the
postoffice force assisting in the
chase.
The other man ran along Walnut
and up Crawford and was caught in
the alleyway between the Crawford
street Methodist church and the
sanitarium by Messrs. Stout and
Foley of the fire department. When
brought back to the police station
several discriminating documents
were found on them by Chief Tuck
er, indicating that this Is not the
first time they have been in trouble.
The men were arrested on infor-
nation regarding the theft of BIZ
cycles in Greenville, phoned here by
Sheriff Nicholson, of Washington
county, a night or two ago, and they
are suspected of being the men who
fired at a white woman storekeep-
er, who was about to close her safe
after the days business a James
Crossing about two weeks ago.
Both admitted that they had sto-
lent the bikes, but denied any other
wrongdoing, stating that they were
farmers of the Brookhaven neighbor-
hood seized with a wandering
fit. They denied any connection with
the shooting at James Crossing.
They were seen in RollingF ork how
ever.

ma G. Bruner, 76, is daddy" to SS
children.
Bruner is one-quarter Creek In
dian and three-quarters negro, and
makes his home in independence, Mo.
He is reputed to. have the second
largest family of any man in the
Creek indian nation.
Bruner says that he has been
married three times; his first two
wives are dead.
The children range from young
sters of 1S to middle-aged men and
women. Twenty of them are girls
and 1S boys. Twelve of the sons are
overseas veterans of the World War.
The high cost of living did not
worry Bruner SO far as providing for
his family was concerned. He for
merly lived with the. Greek nation
in Oklahoma. The government al
lotment of $14 a month for each
man, woman and child made the pro-
vision problem simple for the veter-
an.
Bruner served in the Union army
in the Civil War.

Leopold eodowsky in grookhavsn.

The Recital by Mr.. Godowsky IN
Brookhaven was one Of the most pop
ular piano concerts given In our city
where many artists have played.
Godowsky's evening was not one OF
the Whitworth Lyceum numbers;

program which consisted Of exquis-
ite selections from Schumann, Cho-
pin, Liszts Rubenstein. Mcdowell,
Poldini, Moszkowslky and other em-

and his technique was universally
admired by the audience who found
new beauty in the we'll known pass
ages as he presented them. At the
close Of the program be responded
with a Chopin number and left the

COpiah Schools Seek More Cash.

Hazlehurst, Miss, Nov. 8.-The
Copiah board of supervisors met here
at the county court house yesterday
morning and began the difficult task
of letting road and bridge contracts
and fixing the revised taxation list
OF lands, and establishing the rate of
county taxation for the coming year.
Contracts for Beats One, Two and
Three, for gravel pixies of these beats
will be let to the best bidders and
the contract for working the second
class dirt roads of District Four will
be let to separate bidders from the
gravel pike contractors. The board
has experienced some trouble in get
ting a good contract for these roads
as the board tried at its October
meeting to let out the contracts but
failed owning to lack of good and
sufficient bidders for reasonable
prices.
The president of the board, o. B.
Jones, thinks the board will be able
to reduce the county tax levy from
Al mills to at least as low as SO
mills, and If the coming Legislature
will reduce the state rate of nine
mills to six, which is looked for, ac-
cording to the senior representative,
George w. Russell, of this county,
the Copiah tax rate for the year will
not be higher than A mills as a.
eainst so mills the past few years.
Teachers are trying to get even
more money for the schools, but it
is not likely that they will succeed
as the entire country has the senti-
ment that taxes must be reduced in
stead Of raised for any purpose
whatever. The board at this meeting
is raising the valuation on all culti-

Father Won't Sit Around ALI Day at
A. & M. December Srd.

A. & M. College, Miss, Nov. o.
Saturday, Dec. 8, 1921, will be no
table day at Mississippi A. G M. Col
lege, if present plans materialize
That will be observed as Dads Day
when efforts will be exerted to have
on the campus as visitors to the col
lege the fathers, uncles, or if moi
these relatives, elder brothers, of al
members of the student body who
can be induced to take trip to the
college. 1t will be the day for the
annual football clash between the
Maroons and the Tigers from l.. s.
u, the classic contest of the season
1t will also be the windup of the
Mississippi Aggies' .gridiron season.
The following from the College
Reflector will serve to indicate in a
general way the scope of the idea:-
The observance of December 3 as
Dads Day presents to the entire
college community an opportunity
unique and beautiful. Entered into
with the right spirit this day should
prove an advantage to the College,
a recreation for the fathers, and an
inspiration to the students.
The College counts it real pri-
vilege to have this occasion to DEM
cnstrate to representative group of
citizens the normal functioning of
the institution, to present to these
gentlemen not dress parade, not a
kind of academic camoufIage, but the
actual processes that from day to day
are carried on in the training of
Mississippi young men. Many of
those who have visited the College
emphasize this fact: IF the people
OF Mississippi could only know what
you have here on the campus" The
College is eager therefore, to ac-
quaint Increasing numbers with the
plant which the state has erected
here; and the College is sure that it
could not have a more interested
group of guests than the fathers of
the boys who are here preparing for
life's tasks. Let it be first said and
foremost, then, that A. & M, College
is happy in the thought of entertain
ing all those included in the Dads
Day" invitation.
To the fathers of the boys this
day, considered properly, should be
one of promise. of SO great promise
that no father can afford to miss the
chance. These fathers of our boys,
these men who compose the construc-
tive element of our citizenship, these
builders of our State-these men de-
serve day of genuine relaxation:
and what day could offer more to
them? These gentlemen, in the next
place, will be more intelligently in
formed not only of A. & M. but also
OF the great dreams of Mississippi
after a day here. The fathers will.
moreover meet each other and with
sons as a common topic will gain
new friendships, new ideas. But
chiefly the fathers will do what GER
tainly they ought to do, see at first
hand their boys in school life, see
the physiacl environments, compre-
bend the work of the lads, note the
influences that are shaping them"

the man, himself, was the topic.
''Why have you never married?"
inquired the sweet young thing.
sBecause,' he replied in tone of
wisdom, Il have always noted that
when two people Of the same type
marry their happiness IS marred by
monotony caused by their likeness to
each other. The reason | have never

1t is only a few weeks before the
opening OF the BamDerg tobacco
market. 1t is understood that there
will probably be some change IN the
management OF one OF the ware
houses here, but the change has not
been announced. The outlook IS,
however, that Bamberg will be very
fortunate this season in having eA-
perienced warehousemen in charge
of both local houses, and that the
farmers may expect the Bam6erg
market to rank we'll among the lead
ers in the state. This will be Bam-
berg's second season in the tobacco
selling business, and The Herald
trusts that this market will receive
the full support Of every tobacco
planter in this section. There is not
another market of any consequence
in the southern portion of the state,
and it is decidedly to the interests
of all parties concerned to make this
market all that it ought to be. The
indications are that much greater
acreage has been planted in tobac-
co this season, and the selling facili-
ties in Bamberg should be made as
attractive as they are in any OF the
big markets. By providing facilities
here the equal Of the other markets,
the county is going TO reap great
benefit, not only to the tobacco IN
dustry. but the entire county as we'll.
The farmers are looking to TOBACCO
this wear in this county as never be-
fore as profitable crop. Hereto
fore the planting of tobacco has been
more or less in the experimental
stage here, but now with the cotton
prospects practically swept away ruin
will stare many planters in the face
if their tobacco crop fails to bring
them in a profit. The people have
planted with the belief and conn
dence that there would be good
market here, and from all that we
have learned Of the plans Tor TINS
season, We feel assured that the plant
ers may expect a market in Bam-
berg that will fully meet their eX-
pectotiOns.
