the same cradle, though they had no
acquaintance till a short time before
they were married. Mr.. Corkill's
mother, not needing the cradle in
which her two sons had been rocked,
sold it to Mrs. Corkill's parents, and
the families, who were then living in
Yorkville, drifted apart, Mrs. Corkill's
family going to North Carolina. Their
destinies brought them together again
to rock the same cradle. '''''''.'Mrs. D.

Messrs. S. D. Scarborough and H. S.
Ross, of the G. & NV. railroad, re-
turned last Friday from trip to Hot
Springs, Ark, and other places. They
were shut off from some places they
intended to visit by quarantine, but
they report delightful time as it was.
...."..Mr. w. NJ. Nicholson has torn
down the old brick building near the
hotel, and we are told will build fine
residence on the site. ......'.'There was
very lively and enjoyable party at
the residence of Mrs. Patterson Friday
night. The large house was alive with
the merry pratlle of children, and
many older persons had a part in the
enjoyment. The rainbow was in the
shape of a network of various colored
threads stretched over the wide hall
way. The threads were loosed at one
end and given to different seekers for
wealth. They followed the clew and
were variously rewarded when the
other end was reached, Miss Emma
Albright finding the "bag of gold" in
the shape of gold card receiver. An
other amusement was writing answers
to list of question, a condition being
that every word in the answer should
begin with some initial Of the writer's
name. A good deal of ingenuity was
displayed in forming answers and some
of them were quite amusing. Mrs.
w. A. Barber was awarded the prize
for the wittiest answers, China trink-
ct box. Hal Murphy secured the boo
by, doll. tits reported that he turn
ed cannibal and ate it. There was a
small admission fee for the benefit of
the Methodist church, though we are
unable to say whether the main pur-
pose was to furnish social amusement
with incidental revenue or vice versa.
In either case the result justified the
purpose. Perhaps the finest stroke of
humor was shown in the selection OF
the committee to decide on the an
swers. However, after some threats
of lynching, they were induced to "see
the point" and render decision.
