Close friends of Jack Britton today
said that Jack will not try any come
backs. The ex-champion today is on
his way to the Maine woods. where
he expects to spend several weeks
hunting. Before leaving he declared
that he has had enough of the ring.
And well may Jack feel that way
about it.
An interesting touch to the won-
der.ul former welter kings defeat by
Mickey Walker Wednesday night was
the fact that Jacks wife was very
much pleased at the outcome. She
has wanted Jack to quit the ring for
years. Jack has a good business. and
she pleaded many times with him to
let the gloves alone. But Jack Just
could not do it. Therefore, when
Jack met his wife after the battle,
pretty we'll hammered, his cheeks
cut inside from the slams to his jaws.
Mrs Britton ran toward the veteran
scrapper with the exclamation. Jack,
wanted you to win. of course. but
after all I'm glad IT turned out this
way. Now you'll leave fighting alone
and stick to your business"
Jacks closest friends declared that
Mrs Britton got promise from Jack
to quit the ring.

EARLY DAYS IN
LAFAYETTE COUNTY

The Daughters of the American
Revolution in David Reese Chapter
at Oxford have for the subject of their
program this winter the early history
of Lafayette County. 1t is not their
aim to write the history of the county
i am told Mr.. Stevens plans to do
that-but to get together and pre-
serve old records so that the history
that is fast being lost may be pre-
served. Different members of the
chapter are looking for different
kinds of records and the Eagle in
tends to publish the results of these
searches. The D. A. r. appeal to the
citizens of the county to help them
in getting these records and in cor
recting and adding to these papers as
they appear in the Eagle.
The divisions of the subject and
the chairman in charge of each are
as follows:
Old Wills, Deeds, Land Titles, and
Letters -. Miss Nan R. Hooper
Old Churche and Schools -.
...... Mrs. Calvin S. Brown
Old Cemeteries, Burying Grounds,
and Graves. ;. Mrs. J. B. Brown
Revolutionary Soldiers who lived in
this county, their Wives and
Families -. Mrs. Eliza Pegues
Historic Trees, Sites and Build
ings ......... Miss Lou Nelson
Old Homes and Families. Family
Bible Records -. Mrs. A. l..
Bondurant.
If any one in the county can give
copies of any such records as the
above the chapter will appreciate it.
You can communicate with any of the
above or with Mrs. Calvin S. Brown,
the Chapter Regent.
The United States Government fur
nishes marker for the grave of every
Revolutionary soldier and is most
anxious to mark these graves. AT the
request of the government the D. A.
R. will try to locate all such graves.
This chapter learned last var that In
1910 a Revolutionary soldiers, all very
old, were drawing pensions in this
county. Can any one give the loca-
tion of their graves? The soldiers
were as follows:
Thomas Walker, who lived with
John Walker.
William Gillespie who lived with D.
G. Willis.
Leonard Miller, who lived with Ben
Miller.
David Manow who lived with Will
liam Sims.
The first D. A. r. paper in this Sc
ries is brief review of the early his
tory of the county written by Miss
Sallie Belle Duncan. This paper will
appear in the Eagle before long.

COLONIAL HOTEL
in DAYS PAST
ED THOMPSON, IN THE HARNESS
FOR PAST 80 YEARS. RELATES
INTERESTING STORY OF OLD
TIMES.

In the language of the travelling
salesman Oxford is looking up
''Not looking up like it was two years
ago" to quote further our affable
knight of the grip" when the town
was flat of it's back. You remember
then you had no lights and you were
compelled to go to Memphis to get
g, bath Things looked pretty bad fol
Oxford in the summer of 1920. Your
people were knocking everybody and
everything and there was a spirit OF
hopelessness written on the face OF
the most optimistic. Now it is diff
ferent. No very great change, mind
you, but change that is noticeable u
While our friend was in such a
good frame of mind about our town
we let him talk on. "Take for In
stance the painting campaign in your
town, you could almost call it cru
sade. | have known Oxford long
time and | believe more houses have
been painted in this town in the last
twelve months than in whole genera
ton before. There is some building
going on, too, the first in ten or twelve
years. But the thing that stamps a
town as good or bad to the travelling
man is its business enterprises and
its hotels. The remodeling of the
hotel on the square is pleasant sur
prise to those of US who have been
making the town for number OF
years."
Our drummer" friends remarks
about the remodeling of the Colonial
Hotel caused US to get reminiscent
and wonder what it had been in the
"good old days" of long ago. In trying
to answer our own question we found
some interesting things about this
hostelry in the past.
Back in the days when Benjamin
Harrison was president of these Uni
ted States and not long after the fam
Gus Ku Klux trial was held here in OK
ford, one Ed Thompson began his
career of servitor to the guests of this
hotel. If Ed had kept count of the
trips he has made from the kitchen
to the dining room, he could tell you
how many times his steps, if they had
been in a straight line and in cas-
terly direction, would have carried
him back to the home of his forebears
somewhere south of the Sahara Des-
ert. For, though, thirty-thre years
have passed over his head since the
day he began, Ed is still bringing in
the "loaves and fishes" and looking
after the gastronomic needs in gen.
eral of those who enter its portals.
Ed is not a fixture but an institution,
for he has the ''knack" of serving
the guests in a way that only years
of experience brings.
And Ed has not had his eyes shut
all these years. If he wants to, he
can tell you good many things that
the "layman" knows nothing about.

WALLACE-HARPER

A most beautiful wedding was sol
emnized at the First Methodist church
of this city on Thursday evening at
six-thirty o'clock, when Miss Vyvian
Humphreys Wallace of this city be-
came the bride of Mr.. William Meyer
Harper of Monroe, La, the Rev. Il.
o. Brown, officiating.
The pretty and spacious auditorium
of the church waws never more beau
tiful than on this occasion, with lts
garden setting of pink roses, inter-
mingling with the green of Southern
smilax and ferns. The arches over
the two aisles, under which the bridal
party passed, were radiant with
smilax and roses and from the centre
of these arches were suspended ivory
baskets filled with bouquets of pink
and green. The arch under which
the happy couple stood was decorat-
ed in a shower of pink roses. The
choir rail and altar were banked with
ferns and numerous candles added
soft light and beauty to the occasion.
Awaiting the wedding. hour, Mrs.
H. Lee Herring sang my World" and
:"The Sweetest Story Ever Told,'
with Mrs. Vernon Burks at the piano.
The glad strains of Mendelsohn's We'd
ding March announced the arrival of
the bridal party, the maids wearing
gowns of panne velvet in pastel
shades, with silver trimmings, and
carrying arm bouquets of Russell
roses.
Entering in order came Miss Maude
Anderson, prettily attired in blue, and
DR.. William J. Lusk; Mrs. W. F. Col
laday, in orchid, and Mr. William
Stewart Dixon; Miss Louise Marshall,
in yellow, and Mr.. Ernest Mann. Mrs.
William Stewart Dixon, sister of the
bride, as matron of honor, wore a
gown of pink panne velvet, trimmed
in brocaded silver cloth. Then follow
ed the flower girls, Misses Margaret
Keys and Eleanor Boyett, dainty at
tired in blue and pink ACCORDION plait-
ed dresses, and Master Robert Edward
Davisson, in suit of white satin,
carried the ring on a heart t-shaped
pillow.
The bride, met at the altar. by Mr..
Harper and his best man, Mr.. Joe
Dawkins of Monre, La. was never more
lovely than in beautiful wedding robe
of white satin and crepe, trimmed
with real lace and pearl ornaments,
the veil caught with orange blossoms
covered the entire legnth of the court
train. Her flowers were a shower
bouquet of brides roses, orchids and
valley roses.
The beautiful ring ceremony was
employed and the wedding party in
front of the decorative background
of pink and green while the ceremony
was being spoken, formed a picture
beautiful to behold. Immediately
after the ceremony an informal recep-
tion was held for the bridal party at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Dixon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harper left on the
eighty thirty train for New Orleans
and coast points. Mrs. Harper wore
an exquisite going away gown of
black silk duvetyn, trimmed with
squirrel, with hat and accessories in
harmony.
On their return after October 1st
they will be at home to their friends

SOUTHWESTERN COLLEGE
BREAKS GROUND AT
MEMPHIS.

Ground has been broken for South
western, the College of the Missis-
sippi Valley at Memphis.
The first step toward actual con-
struction of buildings, it was planned
should be the laying of spur track
from the Louisville & Nashville rail
road at the northwest corner of the
property up to where the buildings
will be erected. The grading for this
track was begun Saturday, September
16. The College site is a beautiful
wooded tract of 100 acres on North
Parkway, in the City of Memphis.
This track, it is said, will pay for
itself several times over in the hand
ling of building materials, fuel and
supplies for the college. AS will be
remembered Southwestern, the College
of the Mississippi Valley, is South
western Presbyterian University OF
Clarksville, Tenn, being removed and
established in Memphis as college.
In October, 1920, the citizens OF
Memphis subscribed half million
dollars for the new institution and
Presbyterians and other friends in the
synods of Alabama, Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi and Tennessee subscribed one
million dollars additional for South
western.
1t is planned with the hearty CO.
operation of subscribers, to open the
college for work in September, 1923.

| According to Ed the parlor for a
long time was on the second floor
over the attractive new home Of the
First National Bank, in those same
"good old days" when fashionable
ladies wore bustless n everything
Then Oxford was the mecca of beauty
and fashion for the whole state. The
dining room was much larger and in it
the University balls were held. Sit
ting inside it today one can almost
hear the students of "After the Ball
is over' and see the phantom couples
as they gracefully glide by. For
those days, too, were the days of the
waltz before we acquired Hawaii and
imported the hula in such large guam
titles. Then people danced longitude
nally. Now we prefer it vertically.
Without wishing to disturb the
pleasant reverie too much candor
compels US to drag in some other
scenery, or this sketch would be too
much like fairy tale-not supposed
to be true That was not only the
time when "knighthood' was IN
flower" but also when the coal oil
lamp was in full bloom and stank
eloouently. John D. Rockefeller was
still on his first million then and was
hunting for Henry Ford to help him
concoct some scheme to get rid of his
surplus oil The "Old oaken bucket"
was still in the well, but that was be-
fore they began to sing about it be-
ing down there. Our guess is that
the one who wrote that poem had both
hot and cold water in his room.
The Colonial "in those days" was
adorned in her coal oil lamps and but
tressed with her oaken bucket. A
white maid used to "tote" water for
the guests from we'll that was just
back of the hotel. Life then in some
respects was simple and pleasant.
Baths were taboo. Mr.. Gillette was
still working on his razor and hadn't
infested the country with them and
water was used for drinking purposes
by some only as a tracer"
In 1900 or thereabout Oxford took
her first progressive step and install,
ed water works, a sewer system and
electric lights. But the Colonial con-
tinued to entertain guests with out
the luxury of a private bath In
fact, that remained for the present
management to install in 1922, the
first private bath in hotel in Oxford.
That may seem amusing to some but
thew should recall that the King OF
England installed his first one only
a few years ago. A number OF
changes for the better have been made
in recent months. Not only is the
building more attractive from the out
side, but the inside is being worked
over. And the best of all is the spirit
of optimism that our friend spoke
about that prevades the whole estan-
lishment. Mrs. Annie Millstead, tne
