He suggests that it would be appreciated by the inmates of the home if some of the members of the choir of the city would go out at this hour and render a song service. Elders M. Stauley and V. R. Stan ley will preach at Pl vitview, in North Monroe next Sal- .ay at one o'clock, Saturday night and Sunday at eleven. On Thursday. March I Oth, Miss Lettia Walters of lower Union county and Mr. J. Hobt. McNeely of Trades ville, S. C. surprised their many friends by motoring to Dixie and there being quietly married, the Rev. Mr. Bledsoe of Lancaster officiating. The only attendants were Mrs. Eus tace Lee, sister of the bride. Mr. Henry Dauconi of I'll ion. .Miss Wincy Harris of Monroe, and Miss Florence McNeely, sister of the groom. After the ceremony the party drove to Mr. F. W. Walters', brother of the bride, where a bountiful supper was served. Mrs. McNeely is the daughter of Mr. M. A. Walters, and is a bright and nttrartive young lady. Mr. McNeely is the son of Mr. G. W. McNeely of Lancaster county, and is a prosperous young farmer. Their many friends wish for them a long, happy and prosperous life. The city may purchase a modern fire alarm system that w(ll by bell signals give the vicinity of each fire. The aldermen have appointed a com mittee to investigate the system and to report at the next meeting. Sys tems similar to the one the aldermen contemplate buying are in successful use at Laurinburg and Hickory, it is wid. The "bear" is at large in the woods two miles west of Monroe, accord ing to Mr. R. H. Gordon, who claims to have seen the animal. "I was at the bnrn." said Mr. Gordon Wednes day, "when I heard my wife scream. 'Look yonder, look yonder,' she cried to me. I hurriedly glanced up to wards the skies, expecting to see an leroplane. Look yonder way,' she added, pointing her finger In the di lection of a cotton Held. I did so, and to my surpries I saw a bear run ning towards the tield. It was a rejil hear." Mr. Gordon, when he read in The Journal about the alleged appearance of a bear north of town, thought the Murphy family were mis taken in the identification of the Ftiange animal they had seen, but now he is convinced that a real bear is at large in the county. "Before leaving for the moun tains.'' remarked Dr. J. B. Ewlng, as he walked Into The Journal office Wednesday, "I want to express my indignation at the manner in which Monroe people are trimming their shade trees. They are cutting limbs off, leaving the 'stubbs,' from six inches to two feet long, and in the course of time this practice will re sult in hollow trees. A limb ought to be cut off at the body of the tree so thut It will have a chance to heal over. Were a surgeon to amputate a human limb and leave the bone protruding from two to three Inches beyond the flesh he would he Instant ly summoned into court for mal practice. The same rule holds true in pruning a limb from a tree. The surgeon covers the end of a bone with llesh so It may heal and the bone retrain alive. The tree will cover the cut with bark if the cut is niadp so that it can. I would advise Monroe people who have shade trees that they wished trimmed to write to the . department of agriculture for Its bul letin on tree pruning." Dr Ewlng, who sold several thousand bushels of apples here this year, plans to come back next fall to dispose of his 1921 crop. His home Is at Burns- ville, and he requested The Journal to extend a cordial invitation to his I'nlon county friends to visit him this summer while they are touting In the mountains. Mr. Robert Chapman, of Cheraw, who is president of the Icemorlee Cotton Mills, in a statement to the Charlotte Observer, predicted that the fertilizer used this year will be twenty-five per cent of the usual amount, while he placed the reduc tion in acreage around thirty per cent. Even this, with the large amount of carrled-over cotton, doPs not indicate a great Increase In price of the raw cotton soon, Mr. Chapman believes. The Baptist missionary society will meet Monday afternoon at 3:30. The Laura i.Moore circle will have charge of the program. Mr. W. B. Mangum. who live, near Pageland. sold a bale of cotton here this morning for just 22 rent more I than the cost of ginning, bagging and ties. ! Mr. Henry M.

Biggers, who j moved from this county to Concord i several years ago: Reias B. Biggers. j well known and prominent man of this city, died suddenly yesterday af jternoon at 5 o'clock in the garden at ;his home on West Depot street. Mr. j Biggers had been in his usual health j yesterday, having attended church services in the morning, and his death cam" as a great shock to his family and many friends. For the past several years, however, Mr. Big gers had been suffering with heart trouble, having been confined to his I home on several occasions with se jvere attacks of this malady, and his : death was caused by this disease. The decased was 53 years of age, and had made his home here for a iiuiu i ber of years. He has been in the employ of Mr. A. B. Pounds tor many years, and before that had been Iden tified with several other business In 1 terests (if the city. He is survived by his wife, four children, three lirot hers1 ami three sisters. The chil dren are: Misses Lena and Colin Big. gersi of this city, Mr. Boyd Biggers, jof this city, and Mr. Robert Biggers j of Charlotte. His brothers are: P. H. Biggers, of Midland. Silas Biggers, I of Sanford, Fla., and W. A. Biggers. I of Wingate. The three sister are: Mrs. T. O. Furr, of Oakboro, airs. W. H. Austin, or Midland, and Mrs. R. iF. Smith, of Stanfteld.

I The price of blockade liquor has i kept pace with the drop In cotton, ithe latest quotation being ten dollars a gallon. Tabe Carelock, Homer Can-lock, Frank Allen and Paul Ljtle, four lit tle Murshville darkies, were given a good flogging in the court house here ; Wednesday by their parents. This i was the punishment meted out to them by Juvenile Judge R. W. Leni . niond for the thert of about a hun dred dollars worth of razors, knives and other poods from the store of the United Cash Company. The pnr ents were also required to re-im burse the Marshville firm for Its loss. The thrashing was given under the super vision of Rev. E. C. Snyder, county welfare officer. ' Mr. G. E. Davis, representing the i Rnsenwald fund, who was iii Monroe . Wednesday, wab a boyhood compan ion of Woodrow Wilson. In his youth Mr. Davis lived at Wilmington, where ; Wilson's father was pastor of a Pres byterian church. However, he has , little recollection of the younger day of the man who later became Presi dent of his country except that he was known to his nlay mates as "Tommy." In this con nection, it Is Interesting to note that .Dr. E. W. Sikes, president of Coker 1 College, at Hartsville, S. C, and a native of this county, studied politi cal economy under Wilson at Prince ton University. The Rosenwald fund, ! which Mr. Davis represents, Is an ed 'ucational foundation, financed by the , millions of a rich Jew, that contrib utes towards the erection of negro school houses. "Community stills," according to Deputy-Sheriff Paul Griffith, have come in vogue in this county. One of this kind, a 85-gallon rapacity still, waa raptured Sunday, by the officer in a patch of woods about a mile and a half bark of Baucom's store, in Goose Creek township. Mr. Griffith says that he happens to know that several parties had been using this still. The cost of a liquor-making outfit varies from $50 to $100, hence the expediency of using one big outfit for the neighborhood. Mr. S. R. Hyatt, or Polkton. was in town a few days ago and exhibited two old articela highly prized by him. says the Wadesboro Messenger & Intelligencer. One was a knife given him by his mother 5 years ago. and Mr. Hyatt says that as long as his mother had control over him she would never allow him to use the knife on Sunday. Tho oiher article was a small soldier doll sent Mr. Hyatt by his brother. John Wesley Hyatt, a Confederate soldier. Just be fore the battle of Gettysburg. John Wesley Hyatt was killed in that bat tle. Mr. E G. Faulkner Is erecting a nice residence on the Morris street lot he recently purchased from Mr. Fred Huntley. I Mr. Willie A.
