A party was given by Miss Blanche
Smith Wednesday evening in honor
of her friend, Miss Lottie Harr of
Pennsylvania. During the evening
each guest was furnished with the
title of book and each in turn drew
a picture upon a blackboard to illus
trate the book and the rest of the
company guessed as to what book
was represented. Delicious refresh
ments were much enjoyed. After
spending a pleasant evening they de-
parted and another pleasant memory
was added to their store. Miss Harr
expects to leave for her home this
Friday afternoon.

The cry of fire again awakened our
citizens early Saturday morning and
on examination the fire was found to
be in the Palace Restaurant and all
that was to be seen for some time
was the smoke issuing from the build
ing. BY dint of hard work the fire
was quenced before it reached the
OuOSlOO VI tAO OutluluSs nc luSIuO
of the restaurant at the west end is
badly damaged. Though good work
may be done by individuals we can
not hope to successfully fight fire un-
aided. We certainly need and need
badly some sort of protection from
fire.
