Although history indicates tina:

1880 that a French army surgeon,
Laveran. stationed near some
swamps in Algeria, proved that
this malady is caused by a germ.
Fifteen years later an English
army surgeon, Sir Ronald Ross.
proved that the germ is carried
by a peculiar genus of NOS

Davis-Taylor

Ravenden Springs. May 22-From
the Herald, published by the Presby-
terian church at Downey, Calf. we
we learn OF the marriage In that city
on May 10th. Of Miss Gussie Davis to
Mr.. A. Ray Taylor.
Mr.. Taylor Is native Of Oregon
county, Mo-. and Miss Davis Of this
place. They met In the fall of 1921.
while she was teaching near Myrtle.
Mr.. Taylor sought work I'm the Golden
State and secured work In the Santa
Fe Springs oil fields. While many
miles separated them they kept up a
correspondence which resulted In the
love flame being kept alive, and ON the
9th of this month Miss Davis left for
the far west where Mr.. Taylor anx-
iously awaited her arrival.
From letters received II appears that
while the bride Is among strangers In
strange land her new home seems
TO have been selected for her among
pleasant surroundings. That their
future life may have all the pleasures
and sunshine that should come to
them is the wish Of their many friends
back here In the "Wonder State"
