mood, business was dispatched
in a maimer that demonstrated
that Timpson has an active and
wide-awake organization
working each day for the grow-
th and development of the
town and communities.
Several speakers predicted a
greater era of growth and de-
velopment for this entire sec-
tion, saying many good things
are headed this way as a re-
sult of the splendid work upon
the part of Timpson’s Chamber
of Commerce and its wide-
awake secretary. In addition
to the members Bev. A. A.
Wagnon of this city and Prof.
C. O. Pollard of Henderson,
were visitors.
Among other matters the
secretary’s minutes show the
proceedings of the meeting:

A vote of thanks was ex-
tended the Timpson Times for
its loyalty to Timpson and the
Timpson Chamber of Com-

chants and all of Timpson’s

advertisement that has b*en
published from time to time in

but it was pointed out that this
paper has ever been loyal and
that the Times is Timpson’s
biggest asset.

Shelby county bids fair to
hang up a new cotton produc-
tion record before this cotton
season closes. Prior to Novem-
ber 18th, a total of 28,230
bales had been ginned, and
there is a probability that the
total ginning* may reach near-
ly 30,000 hales before the sea-
son closes. This compared
with 21,433 bales ginned to
Nov. 18th, last year, or an in-|
crease of 6,797 bales for this
season.

Tunpson Stores Getting
Ready for Holiday Shoppers
Many business firms of the
city are displaying holiday-
merchandise in their stores and
show windows, thus calling at-
tention to the shoppers that
Christmas time is only a few
short week? away. Timpson
stores will be filled with holi-
day merchandise, perhaps the
greatest lines ever shown in
this city, and the ‘ people of
Timpson and surrounding com-
munities will have ample'time
to select merchandise before
the last minute rush arrives.
This was the result of a con-
ference held here Tuesday
wherein the . board told the
governor that the walls at
Huntsville now contain 200
more men than accommoda-
tions call for, and that the
farms can accommodate only
100 more convicts, leaving 100
net above the combined maxi-
mum.
Quarters will be erected to
to trade with Timpson mer- take care of the 100 extra men.

Husbands in Skies
Baltimore, Md., Nov. 26.—
Despite snow and wintry blasts
two Baltimore couples were
married high in the air over the
city in a double wedding cere-
mony performed in a cabin
plane Sunday.
Two sisters, Mary and
Mathilda Gabris, became ‘ the
brides of Charles Weber and
John Hapke. The Rev. C. M.
Cope officiated.
“It was fine;” said Mr. Cope
when the plane landed, while
the brides, through teeth still
chattering, said was “just a
pip.”
The ceremony was delayed
for nearly an hour because the
plane could not take off
through a snowstorm, which
made for poor visibility. Capt.
Charles A. Masson was the
pilot. Six other planes accom-
panied the cabin ship in the
marriage parade.

Parole Officer
Named for Women
In Liquor Cases
Beaumont, Tex., Nov. 26.—
Because of the unusually large
number of women violators of
the prohibition act coming be-
fore Judge W. L. Estes in East-
ern Texas District Federal
Court here, Judge Estes has
just appointed the first woman
Federal parole officer in the
United States.
Approximately 100 women,
many with babes in arms, sev-
eral with large families to sup-
port, have been arraigned this
term, many of them pleading
guilty to selling or making
whisky. Confronted with the
necessity of jailing these femi
jnine violators, the court ap-
pointed instead a parole officer
to whom he might consign of-
fenders with dependent chil-
j dren.
Mrs. T. L. Cleveland of
Beaumont was given the ap-
pointment Monday. Eight
women with jail sentences
were immediate given into
her custody and will be under
her supervision during the
length of their terms. A.large
group of women with pleas of
not guilty await trial by jury.

and Conway, Ark., Dixie Ice
Cream company of Arkansas,
plants at Pine Bluff, McGehee
and Camden; Dixie Creamery

governor as temporary chair-
> man of the committee,
j He said he assumed the pre-
rogative to name “at least a
temporary chairman.
“As long as I am governor,
the-legislature would have to
pass a law proposing an elec-
tive highway commission at
least twice, because I would
most certainly veto it the first
time,” Governor Moody said
His remarks were greeted with
general applause by the com-
mittee members.
He explained that his idea in
aslting the representatives and
senators of the respective sen-
atorial districts to select mem-
bers of the committee, was to
have them work out some eon-
constructive legislation for ob-
taining a connected system of
highways and proriding for
adequate maintainance:
He suggested ihat-the com-
mittee be divided . into three
committees: One to consider
mce, including
methods of obtaining revenue
for construction and mainten-
ance; registration, to work out
a plane for licensing and fixing
weight fees, and one to restrict
use of the roads to certain kinds
of traffic.
Moody said that certain un-
fair freight traffic was now
breaking up the highways fast-
er than they could be replaced.
He said that he was proud to
report that in 1927 and 1928
there bad been rapid progress
in construction of needed high-
ways and that the commission
had done a good job of main-
tenance.

Home
There always will be good demand
For homes and fields and fertile land;
And those who pnt their savings by
Can own a home if they but try.
The man who lives from day to day,
Keeps paying rent that he may stay.
Had better own some little place
And start from there to win life’s race.
