Mrs. Helen Jernigan Birch who has been very ill for some time at the home of her sister, Mrs. George Ward, passed away early Monday morning, and was buried Tuesday in the village cemetery.

Sunday it was thought that the crisis had passed and that she would recovered, but a sudden change for the worse was observed that night, and early Monday morning her spirit took its flight. Mrs. Birch was the daughter of Henry Jernigan, of Portland, and had attended school here for several terms before her marriage, and was loved by all who knew her.

There is going to be the dickens of a smashup one of these days on some of our street corners on account of the neglect of auto drivers to sound their horns when approaching these places. You can look for it at Graves’, or May’s corner or at the boys’ dormitory.

By The Auto Route
Judge Parish officiated at a (wedding) that had more than the usual spice of romance in it, even for Gretna Green Affairs.

Coy C. McKinnon, a son of Hon. D. L. McKinnon, of Marianna, was the groom, and Miss Willie Lee Kilpatrick, of the same place was the bride. On their arrival here on the evening train an auto was secured, and with Judge Parish as a passenger a ride was taken around the lake, and during the trip the words were spoken that made them man and wife. That road is not a part of the official honeymoon route to the Gulf, but De Funiak is on the way.
