Marrying Memories

aThe. gray-haired, kind-faced old
gentleman sighed gently as he
laid down the evening newspaper.
Another wife dead!
He remembered distinctly how
sweet she looked-poor little
Ffvian-the day he married her.
How trustfully she had gazed az
him as they stood before the
croWd of friends and relatives
which damned the church. She
had reminded him Of Susan then,
and his thoughts wandered off to
Susan now.
Susan and he were both young,
and she, at least, was beautiful.
They had spent many hours to-
gether when she first peeped
into the mysteries which she was
just beginning to realize lay be-
Sopd her girlhood. He had had to
reassure her, although he was
none too sure himself, that all
would be well, and she had trem-
bled like a leaf in the wind when
he had married her. He had
been very sorry, he remembered,
when she had insisted on a di-
Vorce. some months later.
Now his thoughts were in a
niil-race, flying from one girl to
snother. Cora, the handsome
widow he had married one wintry
afternoon, when she fbew to him
In fear; Harriet, she of the beau
tiful eyes, who hated him for
some unknown reason, yet had
had him marry her; CarIotta, the
swarthily-beautiful Italian, who
had threatened to stab him if
everything were not all right"
and pretty little Prudence, the
first girl he had ever married.
His musing was interrupted by
O knock on the door, and a sweet
faced old lady opened it.
John" she said softly, there's
the rettiest little girl out here
who wants you to come marry
her. DO hurry"
And the old minister rnen SLOW
ly "nd went ou' -. the new
brio" and iot nlushing groom.

ONE-WAY
WISDOM
By Isle Bell.


n Ar OWING In society is more
M difficult than it used to
AVA be because society Is SO
crowded.
A chorus girls idea Of marry
ing and settling down is about
eight weeks.
Women have always been
slaves to dress, but the modern
styles are gradually freeing the
slaves.
Mohammedans aren't much
good at golf, because they
haven't any swear words.
Doctors say 1t is unwise to
jump out Of bed the moment you
wake up. Especially If you sleep
beside an open window.
A woman's idea of taking up
the law is laying it down.
The scientist who says that
rocking.chairs are restful for the
nerves never rocked on the cats
tail.

to OLD Testament times. Re

him a couple Of years to find
1t, out: she discovered 1t the last
time she was married to him.
90:
IT. seems kind Of funny that a
woman should wed her former
husband, but 1t isn't. AS long as
she's bound to get married she
might just as well keep it in the
fapaily.
WHY wed a stranger when you
can marry a relative?
A MAN figures that charity be-
gins at home; that's why he
pays alimony to his own wife.
AND most men are willing to
remarry their former wives;
It's cheaper in the long run.
0NE guy had been wed seven
times and when he started
TO remarry his ex-mates he took
them in rotation.
p he lives to be sixty years

GREATER love than this hath
no man for anybody's wife.
MOST husbands live from hand
to mouth, but this guy lives
from church to divorce court.
THE members Of the congre-
rgation are thinking of suing
him for wearing out the carpet

He can't pay it because he's
broke. He's so busy getting
married that he doesn't have
time to work.
HE believes in keeping one wife
on hand, one going and an .
other one on the way.

In the Spring

"Tis spring, it's spring" cried
Sir Loinstake, "and just as an
alarmer, up to the loft my way
I'll make and renovate my armour.
Ny helmet needs some nickel
plate, my breastplate's slightly
rusted, and when I jousted
Sir de Gate my trusty lance
busted. I'll get a plume Of color
bright and ribbon to my fancy,
and then, I think, this very night
I'll make a date with Nancy.
And then tomorrow I'll set out
her colors waving proudly, and
challenge anyone about in accents
shouted loudly. I'll capture six or
seven men who terrorize the land
with outlaw deeds quite bold, and
then I'll seek my Nancy's hand.
It'll pledge my love eternal true
and pledge it twice ,again-but II
she says II will" ali then new
glories will be mine, and then,
perhaps, on me she'll smile, and
open up some wine. But if she
doesn't seem to fall, my future
still is bright; I'll mount my trusty
steed Pail Mall, and sally forth to
fight. I do not care If all the
danes declare for me their spite,

Cotton Gin Port Chapter, ID. A. r.

One of the historic spots in
northeast Mississippi is the deserted
site of Old Cotton Gin Port, Monroe
County. three miles from Amory,
Oh the Tombigbee River. This an
cient village, now extinct, was in
the early years of the last century
Furnishing little metropolis or
trade for this entire section; it was
so named from the fact that i'll
its vicinity the Federal Government
Git is said at the suggestion or
Washington erected cotton gin to
encourage the cultivation Of cotton
among the friendly Chickasaws.
The town was landing place for
the boats that piled the river at
that time.
A few rods fro mthe site of the
town may still be traced the re-
mains of the Notifications erected
in May, 1876, by Bienville, the
French governor of the territory,
who had assembled the Mobile and
Tombigbee Rivers to set out on his
ILL., fated punitive expedition against
the Chickasaws. The Indian name
for the spot was ''Tollama- toxa'
where he first strung the bow"
in reference to this battle.
IN 1888, two large boxes of ounce
balls were found Embedded in the
mud there, which probably had
been left by Bienville's successor,
the Marquis de Vaudreuil, who also
attempted in vain to conquer the
Chickasaws, the battle being fought
near the site of the present city
Of Tupelo. Returning from the bat
tie, heavy rains having fallen and
rendered travel difficult, De Vaud-
reuil, to tighten his march, threw
his cannon into a deep hole in the
river. This spot is still called 1.-The
cannon hole.
On the high bluff across the
river, west of Cotton Gin Port,
stood wide branched oak, famous
i'm local annals as 1.-The council tree
where the government agents and
factors met the ambassadors of the
red men Tradition says this tree
was the rendezvous appointed by
Tecumseh, that famous disturber OF
fhe peace. when he called a meet
ing of the Creeks, ChOctaws and
Chickasaws, and tried to incite
them to general warfare against
the whites, which resulted in the
bloody Fort Minis massacre in 1913.
"a Near the council tree was lOcat-
ed the home Of Itawamba MingO,
wise and friendly Indian chieftain,
who was known among the whites
as Maj. Levi Colbert, as he held
