7chu|o honors city marshal

R. E. bob Marks was
honored by the Mayor and
Board Of Aldermen at their
regular meeting this month
upon his retirement as
night marshal Of the City Of
TchuIa after over 20 years
lof continuous service.
Alderman Marshall Bennett
acted as spokesman in COM
mending Mr.. Marks and
made a presentation of a gift
from the Tchula Merchants
Association.
Bennett said, Tonight we
pay honor and tribute to a
man who has served his town
in a very special way for 20
years and 2 months.
Ellis has been a remarkable
record. Only one day or night
for a minor illness, plus only
a short period following an
operation and a short period
of regeneration from a bullet
wound in his leg received dur
ing his line of duty have
been the only times he was
away from his job.
1--WE, the people of the
town., and especially the bust
ness people are reluctant to
give up such a dependable
and faithful man. It isn't ca
sy to say Goodbye, good
luck and good retirement to
a man you have depended on
for nearly 80 years.
"Mr. Marks has been a
most outstanding nightwatch-
man. The local crime rate
has been practically nil dur.
ing his tenure"
1.-THE Town of Tchula has
been most fortunate to have
had such a night Waterman.
It is the sincere desire of
this Town Board and every
merchant and business per-
son in this town, and I am
sure of those who have pas
sed on during these last years
that Mr.. Marks will have a
long, happy, satisfying and
rewarding future and he will
remember he will always
hold a very special place of
deep gratitude in the hearts

couldn't afford to lose a thrd
stalWart this year.
Our community recently
suffered the loss Of Reynolds
Cheney from the Episcopal
Church and now VIC are about
to lose Fred Fowler from the
PRESBYTERIAN Church. We
don't like to be without such
fine citizens as these men.
We wish them both the best
of all in their new assign
ment.
Yes, we had a wonderful
time the past weekend at
the 9th annual Mississippi
Press Convention. We all got
our bait of that fine fresh
boiled shrimp and other sea
food and were we'll enter
tanned and on the side
we did learn quite a lot about
our fellow neWspapermen and
ourselves.
The ocean and sand were
beautiful to look at through
tinted glasses from an air
conditioned room. Even the
mosquitoes couldn't get in.
1t could be in no manner
called a rest, but it was a
change from the everyday
grind, and we got a few cob,
webs cleaned out, even though
you probably can't tell it from
where you are sitting.
We're right in the midst OF
Flag Week, whether you care
or not. Get your flag out and
busted off and you will be
right in style Friday when
you put it out in observance
of Flag Day. It's a grand ole
tradition.
Something has been added
this week. The two young
Tardys are back writing for

can't help but wonder how
long it will last. You'd better
enjoy it fast.

With those words, DR.. Ell

Desses'
ShOWinQ
A Hit
BY LUCIE NOEL
Associated Press staff Writer


PARIS, Jan. '29 (AP).-
Without any revolution, the
collection shown by Jean
Desses in yesterdays spring
and summer fashion opening
proved to be one of that de-
signer's best in years.
The clothes are wearable
and elegant. Desses' sense of
color follows through for
every hour.
Trim short jacketed fitted
suits, with tiny collars or
Sits at the collarless neck
line, lend interest. Gay
printed overblouses brighten
the picture.
Half-and-HaIf
Desses launches the half
and-half coat in off white
and navy. 1t is reversible and
has either a navy or a light
top, depending on weather
and wearer's mood. 1t is
shown over a sleeveless con-
tour sheath softened by a
chiffon flounce at necklines
"a favorite Desses trick this
season.
Both the afternoon and
evening line throughout are
softened by frills and flounces
at the neckline. This is es-
pecially effective for dinner
and formal evening. Models
that drew applause were a
black chiffon sheath cut to
the waist in a low "V" in
the back, accentuated in a
full blown tea-rose and
treated to a ruffle down the
neckline and across the high
front as we'll.
Occasional one-shouldered
effects are shown, always
treated softly with a fixed
draped stole, often bowed in
contrast. Diamond inserted
sections through the body
take care of fit.
Mauve Chiffon
A mauve chiffon dress has
a large diagonally placed
ostrich plume down the
bodice. The feather is richly
embroidered in rhinestones.
Much floral all-beaded en-
broidery is shown in strapless
or strapped sheaths. Some
fringed effects in beads form
evening bodices.
Copies of historic jewelry
found in Mycenae excava-
tions have been made for
Desses by Zolotas in Athens.
The sole eccentricity in his
collection is the use of life
size gold serpents. The first
one has an emerald drop
attached to its fangs. 1t
spirals down the waist and
body of a dancing girls dress

Now it seems it is only
