dall, of Albany. Rev. T. C.
Kuykendall of Mineral Wells,

ment of the church where a pro-

quet of butterfly roses and lilies

A. F. Rose, of Waco, sang “ijsong, “0 Perfect Love.
Love You Truly” and “At Dawn-
ing,” accompanied by Mrs. E. A.
Isbill, who immediately after the
songs, sent forth the beautiful
strains of Lohengrins wedding

The bride is one of our most
charming young women, reared
in a home of culture and refine-
ment and the groom, one of the
leading attorneys of Shackelford
county, is in every way worthy of
her.

immediately after the ceremony
on their honey-moon trip, which
includes Houston, Galveston and

William E. (Pussyfoot) John:
son. who will speak in McGregor
at the Methodist church, Sunday,
night, February 19th, recently re-
turned from one of his Old World
journeys as representative of the
World League Against Alcoho-
lism.. He found temperance sen-
timent teeming in Eastern Europe
and Western Asia, and also a
tremendous interest of all the.peo-
ple in what the).United States is
doing.
It is his opinion that Austria;
Germany and the Balkan states
will be among those which will go
dry first, because of the economic
pressure and the necessity of mak-
ing the fullest possible prepara-
tion to compete with the United
States which is under prohibi-
tion.
Especially among the younger
element of the foreign countries,
including the students, Mr. John-
son finds a tendency to slough
off oil conditions and practices
that hinder moral, economic and
political advancement, and this
younger element, many of whose
members have been educated in
America universites and colleges,
regards the liquor traffic as an
incubus. In Oriental countri

Pussyf oot. is 64 years old and
going strong. He is making a
better speech than ever before,
and because of his great travels
and marvelous experiences, has a
story to tell whcili is mightily in-
teresting. Each year he makes
an Old World journey, and each
year comes back with a new set
of experiences and more optim-
istic than ever before that John
Barleycorn is to be driven from
the earth.
Major Frank B. Ebbert, a vet-
eran of both the Sapiish-American
and World Wars, is with Johnson
and also will speak. Major Eb-
bert is an orator in the real sense
of the word. He is an attorney
who, before coming to the Anti-
Saloon League, had a large prac-
tise before juries and therefore
his public addresses now have the
flavor of reasoning before the
esy courts.
D- .' Everybody is invited to hear
these gentlemen, who have a vast
deal of information to impart, as
well as interesting stories of the
progress of prohibition to tell.

time to demolish the back part
of the house when it whs extin-
guished by the firebovs who made
their quickest call and did their
best work, having water on the

was sounded. It was only thru
their prompt action and brave ef-
forts that the house and the Oil
Mill, across the street wfere saved
from complete destruction.

white button iers attached to a
card on which Bible verses were
written were given to each guest
