beautiful and the cards accompanying
them bore the names of such magnates

Town Talk.

Two timely topics are discussed editori-

woman who marries give up her inde-
pendent career?" and May an actress be
a Christian" The subjects are treated
from a practical point of view and pro-

are two bright bits of fiction in the issue,
a story by Irene, Connell and one entitled
interested in a chapter of "reminiscences

ed in Grimes county. Last night
a church at Fuquu prairie was
burned by an inccndiary. Sus-
picion fell on John and Randall

was first found and, with rope

was found at bis home, and his

was volley of huckshot, Van

but was captured at noon and at
once strung up. No further
trouble Is expected. Revenge fol
