The very latest thing out--Char-
ley Smiths mustache.
Christmas will soon be here, and
what worries the "New Woman"
most, is whether to hang up her
stockings or her bloomers.
We understand that the Sons and
Daughters of Veterans will give ali
entertainment in the Court House
on Christmas Eve for the benefit of
the Monu ment Fund.
The ladies OF the Presbyterian
Church are arranging for a big fair
and library entertainment for the
holidays. A large assortment of
handsome holiday presents will be
offered for sale and prize given to
the successful one in the library
contest. Everybody is invited TO
attend and help make the OCCASION
a success.
At the Kindergarten Social down
at Copeman's last Saturday night,
somebody pranked one of the wag-
ons by changing the wheels. While
there was "sound of revelry by
night" indoors, the wheels were
changed and the front ones put on
behind, and vice versa, so that
when they started home, they could
not tell for certain which way they
were going, but they left them that
way and got home by following the
crowd.
The dinner and bazaar at the VI.
e. Church on Thanksgiving and
the festival and fair at night, was "a
big success and we'll patronized day
and night. The proceeds amounted
to over 800. The only unpleasant
| feature of the occasion was caused
by color blindness on the part OF
some of the managers, who mixed
brown and black too promiscuously.
thus shading a little too much the
roseate hue of the biblical injunc-
ton, LET there be light"

The pupils of the colored school
on Beverly Hill will have lots of
fun, when we have little more
snow. The "Toboggan Slide" from
the school house to the new depot,
is daisy. The descent is fifteen
degrees by actual computation,
three times what the Law allows on
county roads. The depot is located
Just outside of the Corporation, but
a little piece of the track Of the new
road cuts across corner of the line.
Sheriff Shaw threw bomb she'll
in the camp of the railroad hands
last Saturday. 1t was pay day and
the BOYS had two months wages
due them, and Of course needed the
money and were anxious to walk up
to the captains Office and sign the
pay roll. about this time the Sheriff
appeared on the scene and attached
the wages Of seventeen of the hands
for taxes. OF course there was
swearing and grumbling, but no
escaping, and the boys had to take
their medicine while the Sheriff took
their money.

At a certain place in town where
they have telephone, they got
new girl from the country not long
since. The mistress explained to
her how to work it, and to answer
it when the family we're absent.
The next day all were out but the
girl from HuckleberrY Ridge, and
when the mistress returned the new
girl remarked:
"That Internal machine was ring
ing for ten minutes, while you were
out"
"Why didn't you answer IT, as /
told You ?" said the mistress.
"I would have, man." said she,
"only | was half undressed and
was afraid it might be man"
