SOME MIX-UP

Carl Etheredge was on a rampage
last Friday night. and got beat up, and
arrested into the bargain.
Carl must have had some shinny
under his belt. because he made fly-
ing trip in his touring car around the
loop and didn't get there, because the
car refused and turned on its side Just
to show him that he could go so far
and no farther.
This was all just south of the sta
ton. and we suppose that Carl got to
cussins Lizzie because she lay there,
and wouldn't get up and let him ride
home. He then went away, and got
into an argument with someone else.
Meanwhile, poor Lizzie lay there all
alone out in the cold world, and on her
side, too. Think of that. But what
did he care. Lizzie Ford could stav
there for all he cared. and he went his
way and ran into bad mix-up some
where-no one knows where. He got
beat up badly.
Perhaps it was all on account of
Eliza, we don't pretend to know, but
they took him off to the station and he
gave bonds to appear in court charged
with being drunk and disorderIy.

FIVE GENERATIONS OF
THE HUGHES FAMILY

A reunion Of the famous Hughes
family is in contemplation this summer
and we believe that it will Be some re-
union, one that will be remarkable in
more ways than one.
Not only will it be remarkable on
account Of the large number who be-
long to that family, but to the long
evity of the Hughes.
There will be five generations shown
as follows:
Babe Burns. aged five, child.
Mary Burns, her mother. of Walnut
Hill, mother.
Patsy Carver, Of Simpson, mother to
Mary Burns, grandmother.
Mary Martin. Of Cora, mother Of
Patsy Carver, Great-grandmother.
Mary Ann Hughes, Of Cora, mother
of Mary Martin. Grand great
grandmother.

hard to beat anywhere. That Louis
lana, as Prof. King said. is the health
lest climate in all America is true when

SPRING HAS COME
SAY LOVERS HERE

Spring has come and with it the
union of hearts in wedIock. Now the
real season is on, and we reiterate the
sentiments of Jim Oakes, our Justice Of
the Peace, who says that his best wish
es are with every couple that comes to
his office to be married, and that he
feels that the future of the parish lies
with these good people who are to be
future residents here.
He had just got started on a real
honest-to-goodness sermon, when here
comes walking into his office couple
who wanted to be married.
Their faces were radiant with hap
piness as they entered. hand in hand,
and told in the softest tones their de-
sire to become as one.
Then Jim got busy, very busy, if any
one should ask you. getting out his pa
pers and other matters that generally
go with wedding and soon the happy
pair were one, and as she looked up
into his eyes Che was tall cookbook
ing felIow) Jim could see that they
were going to make a big success of
their venture.
His name is H. ]. Scroggins, and her
name is Evelyn O'Banion.
We wish them everything good.

ARE YOU GOING TO BUILD?
The Democrats Building Department
May Be Of Assistance To YOu

With the opening up of spring and
more settled conditions in the labor and
material market. LeesvilIe and vicin-
ity no doubt will experience a much
larger building program than for sew
eral years past; and anyone contem-
plating the building Of new home
large or small, pretentious house or a
bungalow-or a farm building of con-
sequence, may very well study the
plans and Illustrations of completed
buildings, as we'll as the descriptive
matter accompanying. which appear
regularly in The Democrat.
These plans are drawn BY a COM
petent architect with a. view of sup
plying plans for improved living quar-
ters embodying new conveniences and
more attractive exteriors, at compara-
lively small cost, or buildings which
will enable the farmer to better care
for his stock and crops with a mini
mum amount of labor and loss in hand
ling.
Every one expects to build new
home some time. A study Of The
Democrats building articles will help
TO prepare for the great moment
when it arrives.
