city election in March The persons at

The Kings Daughters have made ar
rangements to hold military social
at the Opera House on the I'D of this
month. The young ladies who COM
prise this organization are always do
ing something in their line of duty for
the benefit of the poorer class of peo-
pie, and in giving this social the largest
portion of the receipts goes for this
cause. A military social is something
that has never been given in this city
before, and the young ladies propose
to have many surprises for the young
men when this event takes place.
The usual large number of valentines
are displayed about the city. and on
Tuesday the postoffice will be flooded
with them.
The Kings Daughters have their
regular weekly meeting tomorrow
evening. All members are requested to
be present

nue., will give a valentine party at her
home Tuesday evening. A large num-

Tuesday evening citizens meeting
will be held at the court house, when
ticket in opposition to that named
by the Republicans will be selected for
the March election. 1t is understood
that this meeting is for everybody, and
the material for the ticket is TO be
selected from both the Democratic and
Republican parties. With this ticket
politics is not to cut any figure, and no
one seems to know who will be select
ed outside of the Mayoralty. Mayor L.
B. Purdy will very likely be at the head
of the ticket, and if not, he is a cam
didate anyhow. This year he did not
go before the Republican primary, and
as a result J. c. Parkinson carried Off
the nomination without any opposi-
ton. The big fight will be waged
from now on, and considering the con-
dition politics are in just at the pres
ent time the man that can pick the
winners is good one.

of Eighth street, are i'll at their home

warrants issued for several of the part
| les said to be selling liquor, but for
some reason they were unable to get

| claims that they will get all concerned
| in this move and have the parties who
| own the buildings for security of the
! costs that may be incurred.
