LAKE CRYSTAL.

From the Union:
b. Humphrey has sold out the -four
and feed business to Frank Strunk,
who is having q place fitted up for
storing and handling the -four and
feed, near the track, west of the Pesvy
elevator.
Miss Marie Nelson of Butternut
Valley, who has been treating with
DR.. Williams for blood poison, occa-
stoned by slight scratch upon finger
of the right hand, is much improved,
and out of danger.
Peter M. Peterson, an old and pros
porous farmer of Lincoln has sold his
COWS, 10 in number. and we believe
all other stock he possessed and house
hold effects, with the view of retiring
from,the farming business. Whether
he is going to remove from this
county to other parts in the state or
out of it, we have not been informed.
Mr.. Peterson realized about $50 per
month for milk from his COWS at the
creamery.
Friday night, week ago, in this
place two dogs entered the chicken
coop of J. G. James, and the door
closed after them. The dogs were pri-
soners and busted themselves in kill
ing 80 chickens before discovery was
made. Mr.. James tied up the dogs and
the owners were notified, who paid
for the chickens. It is presumed that
the dogs were looking for something
to eat. During the winter time the
dogs learn that in chicken coops is the
place to find food. The owners Of the
dogs feel greatful that they were al
lowed the privilege of paying the price
of the chickens and retaining the
dogs alive, and Mr.. James certainly
showed a friendly spirit in that he did
not kill the dogs.

The Sumter County Exhibit in the Wo.
mans Building.

The Sumter County exhibit in the
Woman's building is one of the most
remarkable for artistic character
and dainty arrangement. It was in
stalled by Mrs. Walter Montgomery
to whose taste and skill its very at
tractive appearance is largely due.
The exhibit contains number of
strikingly beautiful things, prominent
among which is large pastel, 'The
Hanging of the Crane,'' which at
tracts great deal of attention.
A number of handsome paintings in
oil and water colors, as well as some
admirably executed copies of Gibson
pictures in pen and ink, are prominent
features of the exhibit. There is also
variety of dainty hand-painted china
that would please the most fastidlous
eye, including large jardjniere, Of
exquisite workmanship, holding a
graceful palm. Battenberg drapery
of very elaborate design, and some
handsome sofa pillows and curtain
pieces add to the effectiveness of the
display, and there are besides many
beautiful miniatures, ivory cameo
brooches, and a quaint old ebony and
mother of pearl tea box.
A fine display of preserves, wines
and pickles is also made and every
department of woman's work is we'll
represented. The women of Sumter
deserve the greatest credit for the work
they have done, and the Game Cock
County certainly has reason to feel
proud of the artistic capabilities of its
daughters. and Courier.

announced for Monday was held at the

Two Buildings We're Afre at the Same
Time.

An alarm of fire was sent in at II. 10
SATURDAY. morning from the residence
of Hon. Richard I. Manning on lower
Liberty Street. The Gremen responded
promptly and reaching the scene found
the roof of small out building on fire
The flames were soon extinguished
without difficulty, but another fire
had started near by in the meantime
and they had their hands full with two
fires to fight at the same time. A
house on the corner of Republican
Street near the old G. S. & N, depot,
was on fire and the attempt was made
to run line of hose from the hydrant
in front of MIR. Manning's residence,
which was already in use, and also the
nearest to the fire, but there was not
sufficient hose in the wagons to reach
this fire and the wagons had tc be
sent back to the houses for more
hose. Monaghan squad stretched a
line from the hydrant further down
the street, but the pressure vas 50
weak that it was never possible to get
strong streams on the flames. How
ever, they did the best they could IN
der the circumstances, and by fighting
the flames at close quarters prevented
the nearby houses from catching. The
fire had spread so rapidly in the house
before the fremen got to work that 1t
was impossible to save it. The con-
tents of the house were removed as
quick as possible and much OF the
furniture and household goods were
saved.

BALL At WHITE HOUSE.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Miss Alice
Roosevelt, the Oldest daughter of
President and Mrs. Roosevelt, was
formally presented to Washington So
ciety tonight at a ball given in her
honor at the White House. About 500
guests we're present, many of whom
yelt family or we'll known society peo-
pie living outside of Washington.
Miss Roosevelt is the first White House
debutante since 1873, when Miss Mel
lie Grant the daugter of President and
Mrs. Grant, was presented to society
at ball which was the gayest social
event of the decade. Tonight's enter
tainment was given personal rather
than an official character by Mrs.
Roosevelt, whose wish was that Miss
Roosevelt should make her debut much
as though it had taken place in her
own private home rather than in the
White House. There was no cotillion
and consequently no favors.
When the ball opened tonight the
interior of the White House was most
attractive. Never before have the
floral decorations been more beautiful.
The massive mirrors, chandeliers,
columns and ceiling of the East
room, where the dancing occurred,
were festooned and garlanded with
smilax, maiden hair fern and aspara-
gus trimmed with bouquets of carna-
tions. More than mile of green fes-
tooning was used in this way. The
window recesses were filled with palms
rising out of the banks of variegated
foliage. Tie mantels were banked
with roses and asaels set in tropical
crotans and crowned above with screw
pines. English holly was used in
profusion in the decorations. The
red, green and blue parlors also were
adorned on the same lavish scale.
