the stage to the delight of the audi
ence. Ten Little Niggers was imper-
sonated by ten school girls behind
lath fence, and slowly the ten we're re-
duced to one by falling down behind
the fence. The one disappeared, and
up they all came then. An encore
was given this most pleasing part of
the show.
One of the warmest features of the
presentation was the third part, Old
Plantation Melodies, given by Uncle
Ephraim Mrs. H. NJ. Aune) and Aunt
Phyllis (Mrs. F. W. Philbrick) family.
It was full of musical ginger and
wound up in warm break down by
Mesdames Pnilbrick and Aune, to
which they were thrice encored.
Four Little Curly Headed Coons,
Mrs. g. G.. johnson, and Misses Clark,
Clayson and Rowe, was the wind up
of the third part of the programme.
Their songs were full of local hits and
their dancing showed remarkable
training.
The finale of this whole affair was
the cake walk in which there wasn't
much of an opportunity to walk, but
plenty of chance for display of cos
tune and bowing before the great
white cake made for the affair by G..
L. Gordon of the Palace Restaurant.
The impersonators of the masculine
five were Mrs. G.. R. Pease, Mrs. Jo-
seph Tyson, Mrs. Geo. B. Hughes,
Mrs. Tena Anderson and Mrs. G. A
Francois. Mrs. Pease wore a riding
costume of knee pants, Mesdames
Tyson, and Hughes gents evening
dress costumes, Mrs. Anderson frock
suit, and Mrs. G. A. Francois an even
ing dress suit, with the exception that
the pants were made of white duck
with black stripes going down. the
side. The coat was just little small,
but it was that fact that gave Mrs.
Francois the cake. The ladies we're
Mrs. O. W. Mcmillan, Miss Carrie

ter of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. A. Karr of

The ceremony was performed by

Miss May Stewart coming from Delhi,
Mimi, Miss Lizzie McMichael and

To the strains of wedding march,

No wonder so many sales
girls and factory girls and housewives suf-
fer from indigestion and constipation and
bilious troubles. No wonder they are sub
ject to the diseases of the delicate special
organism of their sex. The wonder is
rather that they can stand it as we'll as
they do.
But a poor weak woman," as she IS
termed, will endure bravely and patiently
agonies which a strong man would give
way under The fact is women are more
patient than they ought to be under such
troubles.
Every woman ought to know that she
may obtain the most eminent medical ad-
vice free of charge and in absolute CONT
dence and privacy by writing to DR.. R. V.
Pierce chief consulting physician of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of
Buffalo, N. Y. Occupying this position for
thirty years he has had a wider practical
experience in the treatment of women's
diseases than any other physician in this
country His medicines are world famous
for their astonishing efficacy.
The most perfect remedy ever devised for
weak and delicate women is DR.. Pierce,s
Favorite Prescription. His "Golden Med
ica1 Discovery" is the only permanent d1-
gestive and nutrient tonic. The two med
icines taken alternately, form the most
perfect and successful course of treat
ment ever prescribed for female troubles
complicated with sluggish, overwrought
nervous, diseased constitution. In severe
constipation DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
should be occasionally taken with the
others. They never gripe.

The crowd at the Methodist church
was a large one-in proportion to the
membership of the church, and the hi
larity kept up from the arrival of the
first pupil until Mr.. Waldron turned
down the last light in the edifce. The
Christmas piece was a novel one-a
double ladder arranged in the shape
of letter A, and all covered with cot
ton and sprinkled with material that
gave it the appearance Of crystallized
snow. From the rounds of the ladder
gifts we're suspended, and to each gift
was attached the name of the pupil
for whom it was intended. After the
preliminary exercises of readings and
singing these gifts, only for the small
er pupils of the Sunday school, were
distributed, and the little hearts were
made glad over the first appearance
of Santa Claus, candies, nuts, pop
corn, etc., and all present took hand
in putting the large supply out of
sight.
The exercises of the Presbyterian
church we're held in the G.. A. r. hall
Friday evening and consisted princi-
pally of a general romp and good
time by the children of the Sunday
school. A small tree was decorated
with stockings filled with candies and
a beautiful colored chain. About 8
o'clock Mr.. Patterson, superintendent
of the Sunday school, called the child
rem to order and several of the pupils
took part in the very short programme
that followed. Among those who took
part we're Gertie Hunter, Boyd Wolff,
Ruby Curtiss, Kenneth Vaughn, Alma
Leibenguth, Give Aiken, Smith Tif-
fany and several others. At about the
close of this programme the jingle of
bells we're heard at the foot of the
stairs, and Immediately Santa Claus,
impersonated by Fay Robinson, ap-
peared and superintended the distri-
button of candy to the children. After
the children had spent some time in
eating their candy they we're again
called to order and Miss Fannie Ev-
erett read a selection, entitled 'The
Minister'S Donation" at the close of
which Mr.. Sinclair was asked to step
forward and Miss Everett, on behalf
of the Presbyterian church congrega-
ton, presented him with seal skin
cap and pair of mittens. Mr.. Sin
clair was taken by surprise but re-
sponded very appropriately in a few
remarks. He said he appreciated the
gift, and thanked the congregation
very kindly. He also stated that he
