PHANTOM PARTY.
A Delightful Social Affair Given
Last Evening.

One Of the most unique and beauti-
full entertainments Of the season was
given at the pretty home Of Mrs. A.
w. Foreman last evening. The spaci-
GUS rooms, r%esplendant with snow
white curtains and colored lights,
hidden in lanterns made Of ghostly
faces, presented a scene not soon to
be forgotten. At ten o'clock a row Of
phantom-like figures was formed In
line, and each gentleman selected a
partner from these, after which the
white masks were removed and a
hearty laugh INDUCED in. The guests
we're then shown into The dining room
which was Illuminated with colored
lights, and an old-fashioned candy
pulling took place. The time passed
too quickly. The charming hostess,
who is noted for her hospitality, has
given many social affairs remarkable
for their novelty, but her friends all
agree that this was the most success
full party ever given. Not until a late
hour did the guests depart for their
homes, each one expressing themselves
that they had never spent a more
pleasant evening. Those present
we're: Mrs. Sample, Miss Cora Sample,
Miss Davies, Mrs. Brady, Miss Zunolt
Miss Nettie Duncan, Miss Myrtle
Crockett, Miss Barton, Miss VanPelt;
f. 0. Harris, DR.. Bagby, Mr.. Adams,
Fred Young, Boyd Gillispie, Prof.
Dugger and al Trogden.

HAlEOwfEN PARTY.
The Children Were in Fancy
Costumes.

i0ween parties was gwen iaSI
evening at the home of Mr.. anc
Mrs. R. ]. Blakeney, in honor o.
their son George. About forty
FIVE invitations were sent out and
all but a very few responded by
their presence.
The house was quantity illum.
mated with candles, pumpkin jack
lanterns and pumpkin lamp gloves
whose grinning and grotesque
faces peeped out from every nook
and corner.
In the DINING room apples
hung from strings to ''bite as you
passed through" On the table
were placed old fashioned ''plg-
gins" cut from pumpkins and
filled with nuts and apples. Some
Of the nuts contained written for
tunes from kernals. A plate of
-four, with ring concealed, furn-
ished amusement for those who
tried their luck biting for same,
Rob't Ironside, Jr., being success
full.
Fortunes were told by Miss
Byrd Ironside, with a glass Of wine
and water and concealed in the
corner by a closed screen, a "real
Gypsy" fortune teller told your
fortune free of charge. Hidden in
the same room was a key, a penny
and a thimble, with this iDjunc-
ton to the seekers: "Who finds
s.e key will travel far, who finds
the penny riches will find and
who finds the thimble will be an
old maid" Rosie Mellette found
the thimble and Goode McGlasson
fortunately found the penny and
KEY. After fortunes were told and
the search completed, all the girls
one by one jumped over a lighted
candle, but fortunately not one of
them extinguished it. A portion
of the girls and boys then INDUCED
in a cake walk, with Mabel Bagby
as Judge who awarded the
prizes, a dainty candlestick, to
Mellette, and a pretty match
box to Harder Trott.
Mrs. Blakeney and Miss Goody-
koontz were assisted by Mrs. ]. G.
Anderson and Miss Byrd Iron
side, in entertaining the children
and serving refreshments, which
consisted of salad and waters, can
dies and stuffed dates.
The evening was one long to be
remembered by those who were
present.
Each guest at departure was CIV
sn a tiny pill box with the written
prescription; Take one before
-etiring." The boxes contained
title candy pellets which were to
% eaten and dreamed over.

What We Eat

Is intended to nOurish and sustain us.
but 1t must be digested and assimila-
ted before it can do this. In other
words, the n0urishment contained in
food must be separated by the diges-
tive organs from the waste materials
and must be carried BY the blood to all
parts Of the body. We believe the rea-
son for the great benefit which 30 ma
ny people derive from Hoods Sarsa-
parilla lies in the tact that this medi-
cine gives good digestion and makes
pure, rich blood. 1t restores the func-
tions of these organs which converts
food into nourishment that gives
strength to nerves and muscles. 1t
also cures dyspepsia. scrofila. salt
rheum, bOils, sores. pimples aud erup-
tions, catarrh. rheumatism and all
diseases that have their origin in i'm
pure blood.

We learn that Mr.. David Du-

the hall in a manner to admit the
colored people in the back part of
the hall when visited by outside
troupes. The troupes say this is
the only town where colored peo-
pie are not provided for, and
1t makes quite difference in
their revenues. We cannot see
any objection to this arrangement,
our people attend boat shows,
circuses and other entertain ments
where the colored people are ad-
mitted, and never raise any obiec-
ton.

Why Register Again?
Thihodeaux Sentinel

This question is often asked by
patriotic citizens who are impa-
tient at having to register anew.
Well, the best answer is, that
the law requires it as a prerequi-
site to voting at the primary and
April elections.
There is no getting around it;
one must register to be able to
vote.
Now. there are many reasons
why the law maker has required
it, the first of which is that il was
necessary under the present state
of the suffrage to strike with null
lily the old registration rolls, with
negroes on it, and start afresh.
Those who registered in 1898 nm
der section 5 did SO to preservS
their right of suffrage; they must
now register like others, to erer-
else that right. Their registration
is very simple, simpler even than
it was in the first instance.
Every citizen owes it to his
country to vote, and to register as
a'prerequisite to the exercise of
that right.

Curious Cradles.

In the palm region of the Amazon
River there is tribe which cradles
their infants in palm leaves. A single
leaf, turned up around the edges by
some native process, makes an excel
lent cradle, and now and then 1t is made
to do service as a bath tub. Strong
cords are formed from the fibers Of an
other species of palm, and by these
this natural cradle is swung alongside
a tree, and the wind rocks the little
one to sleep. Long ago the Amazonian
mothers discovered that it was not wise
to leave baby and cradle under a cocoa
palm, for the mischievous monkey de-
lighted to drop nuts downward with
unerring precision. An older child is
stationed near by to watch the baby
during his siesta, and the chatter of
monkeys overhead is enough to cause
a speedy migration.

burg district, closely centering about
the metropolis of the western portion of
the State. Some coal from the eastern
portion of this district reaches tide
water by rail over the Pennsylvania,
but the hopes of those who expect an
export business in PittsDurg coal are
portions of the year cheap transporta-
ton to the port of New Orleans may be
by way of the Ohio and Mississippi
Rivers.
In Maryland the famous Cumber-
land coal is produced, but this is de-
cidedly soft, breaking into small pieces
rather than crumbling, yet not in favor
with foreign consumers notW1thstand-
ing it's richness in fuel properties. The
foreign trade demands lumpy coal,
and for that reason the Cumberland can
be left out of calculations concerning
export trade.
In West Virginia three important rail
road lines handle the products of the
Elk Garden and Fairmont regions-in
which Senators Davis and Elkins are
widely interested-the New River and
AanaWna ulStrlcts, anu the TocduoHtds
regions. OF these sections the New
River, the Fairmont, and the Elk Gar
den mines promise to contribute the
greater share of the States coal for ex-
port. The Pocahontas coal. however,
will be in limited but strong demand
for naval steaming. In Alabama the
coal fields lie in the northern part of
the State, near Birmingham, and the
way of outlet will be through Mobile
or Pensacola.
With these Goals from these States,
and paying even So ton for ocean
freights, the American shipper may
have a margin of $1.56 profit at Glib
