A PUMPKIN SOCIAL.

A pumpkin social is to be one of the
features OF next week 8 social life. It
will be given by the ladies of the
Methodist Aid Society at the home of
Mrs. r. A. Romans. 1t will be a
unique affair in many respects An
elegant supper, such as the Methodist
ladies are noted for, will be served from
$50 to 500 p. m. After the supper a
rare program will be given. One of the
numbers by ten of Denison's handsome
young ladies will be one of the special
features, as will 1.-THE History of the
Pumpkin Pie" which is to be given by
those who eat and those who make
them. The residence will be illumina-

electric lights will replace the old time
candles. Everyone who reads this is to
consider himself especially invited TO
attend and to pass happy evening.

MARRIED..

Mr.. John r.. Wiese and Miss Anna
Lorenzen were married at twelve
O'Clock on Thursday, Nov. oath, Rev. G.
q. Clausen officiating, before the wit
nesses Lorenz Lorenzen and Ida Lo-
renzen and Gustav Wiese and katha-
rine Wiese.
The ceremony took place at the home
of the BRIDES parents and was of quiet
but impressive nature. After the
ceremony the guests sat down to a
bounteous Thanksgiving and wedding
feast. Mr.. Wiese is the popular and
efficient clerk in the dry goods depart
ment OF the Boys store, he having come
here. from Manning. The bride is the
eldest daughter of Treasurer Lyrenzen
and is popular and handsome young
lady. The newly welded couple will
go to housekeeping in the residence
formerly occupied by Mr.. Chas. Hart
wick, on Chestnut street. We are
prone to believe that Thanksgiving
days in future will bring a double sense
OF gladness to this worthy pair.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

The case OF Smith VS.. Knight tried
at the last term of Court. and which
developed somuch interest. and brought
so many OF the citizens of Chatter Oak
to Denison, has just been decided by
Judge Elwood in favor of Mr. Knight.
This case grew out of land deal in
which MIR. Knight in 1894 contracted to
sell to one + W. Loomis "A tract of land
near Charter Oak for $2,640 90, and as
part of the consideration the purchaser
was to assume and pay mortgage of
81 600 90 on the property
In the preparation of the contract, by
a mistake it failed to provide that the
purchaser was to pay this mortgage,
and in fact provided that upon the pay
ment of ST $40 90 Mr.. Knight should
give deed of general warranty con-
veying the premises to the purchaser.
Mr.. LOOMS afterwards sold the con-
tract, the purchaser from him claiming
that he had no notice of the mistake in
the contract, and afterwards the con-
tract came into possession of Mr.. Smith
who also claimed that he had no notice
of any mistake in the contract. He
offered to pay Mr.. knight the amount
which the contract on its face showed
to be due, and demanded warranty
deed from him, which MIR. Knight re-
fused to give unless Smith would agree
to take care of the mortgage upon the
land.
The Court finds that MIR. Smith was
not good faith purchaser of the con-
tract, and that he was presumed to
have notice of the mistake that was
made in the contract before he pur-
chased it.
The result of the case is to leave Mr.
Smith the owner of the land subject to
the mortgage of 81, 900 90.
| Additional interest was given the
case by reason of the fact that a num-
Der of witnesses were called from Char
ter Oak to impeach the reputation of
some OF the witnesses for the defend
ant, but the result shows that the eff
fort was not successful.
Judge Conner represented the inter-
ests of Mr.. Knight in the case, while
that of the plaintiff was in the hands of
Mr.. johnson of Ida Grove.

FLOWERS AND LEAVES.
Some Appropriate Decorations For
THANKSGIVING Day.

Some Appropriate Decorations For
THANKSGIVING Day.
The woman who converts her house
into sort of green bower, with avenues
Of palms and the like, may be creating
a pretty effect, but, she is not arranging
an appropriate decoration for Thanks
giving. Thanksgiving is an American
festival, and exotics are out of place il
one desires TO preserve the American
spirit in her decorations. Those hardy
flowers which might grow out q doors
in American yards are the best suited to
Thanksgiving characterization, and Of
these the chrysanthemum is naturally
first.
That obliging foyer comes id almost
every possible shade now and can be
made to harmonic with any scheme Of
color decoration. 1t is as white as q
snowdrop; it is tawny yellow and pale
yellow; it is reddish brown. and clear
red; it is pink; it is soft lilac. Each Of
these colors comes in numberless sorts
Of blossoms-big ones, With tightly
curled leaves, and little ones, with strag-
Cling, ragged leaves. No woman can
despair Of beautiful results who uses
plenty of chrysanthemums.
A glass bowl full Of tho starry white
blossoms set on table Of polished ma
hogany or deep red cherry is most effect
i've. A bowl Of dark red ones glowing
in fine contrast to the polished oak Of q
library table is beautiful Mantels ON
which plants full of blossoms are set
are lovely if blossoms Of one color are
chosen. The deep yellow ones with
edges darkening to brown are particu-
larly good for this massed style Of deco
ration.
One woman, who appreciates The value
Of eheesecloth, has covered the wall
above her fireplace and mantelshelf
with dark red cheesecloth gathered
rather fully. On the center of the man
tel itself she has arranged to have q
low, big bowl OF white chrysanthemums,
while old fashioned glass candelabra at
each end will add to the glittering,
bright effect.
Smilax is not to be despised in deco
ration. Chandeliers andwindow frames
may be wreathed with it, mantel mir.
rors half hidden beneath latticework
Of it, and streamers Of it suspended from
available picture frames. OF course the
cool, feathery green is not particularly
appropriate for Thanksgiving decora-
ton, but it serves as a delightful back
ground for warmer. more glowing floral
effects.
Besides chrysanthemums, which by
their size and profusion at this season
of the year lend themselves particular
ly to Thanksgiving decoration. there are
baradia, with it's coral. pink and red
blossoms, roses Of all descriptions, vio-
let's and the like. The woods still have
trailing vines Of red and bronze pine
boughs and cones, brilliant leaves and
dusky berries The clever woman makes
use Of these profusely in decorating her
house at Thanksgiving, and they seem
particularly appropriate.-New York

company and one of the very best
travelling on the road. 1t is guaranteed
treat, and is without an Objectionable

Indirect Fertilization.

Ia spite of all that has been said and
written about direct aud indirect fertili-
cation there still exists surprising
amount Of ignorance. The work of the
experiment stations aud prominent ag-
riculturists have brought out the facts in
this line so plainly that It is a compara-
lively simple matter for any farmer to
understand this subject without any
trouble The subject is treated as fol-
lows in The Progressive South
By direct fertilization is meant the
application Of certain fertilizer materi-
ais which in themselves furnish needed
nourisbment to the growing crop. The
plant foods in which most soils are def.
cient and which it is customary to ap-
ply in the form Of commercial fertilizers
are phosphoric acid, potash aud nitro
gen. Every farmer ought to get famil-
lar with these terms and to learn from
what sources they are derived and bow
they should be applied to the best ad-
vantage. It is true that the average
soil will contain 4 certain amount Of
phosphorc acid. nitrogen and potash re-
spectively, but it frequently happens
that these ingredients are not in con-
dition to be taken up at once by the
growing crops. and hence it pays to put
them on in the form Of fertilizers.
By indirect fertilization is meant the
application Of certain materials to the
soil, like salt, lime or plaster, which in
themselves do not furnish any Of the
three essential ingredients mentioned,
but by their stimulating action on the
soil render available some Of the natural
supply Of plant food existing there. 1t
will be readily seen, ofconrse, that. their
action is indirect; hence the term, "in.
direct fertilizing."
Probably on no crop has this indirect
fertiliziDg been more extensively prac-
ticed than on clover. Many have no,
ticed the effect Of dose Of plaster upon
clover. The truth Of the matter is that
the plaster in itself did not serve as
plant food for the clover, but released
some plant food in TIE soil, notably pot
ash, which tue clover at ouee assimilat.
ed 70 good advantage.
1t was also experienced by many Of
the same farmers that 10 time II became
difficult 10 get catch Of clover on these
lands. The cause Of this was that the
natural supply of plant food in the soil
bad been exhausted, and since the plas.
ter 10 itself. as already stated, did not
furnish any OF the three essential plant
food Ingredients they had to be restored
from some other source before the clover
would grow as before. The shrewd
farmer at once sees that it lie far more
