Looking for Rich Wife.

A French count is in this coun-
try looking for a wife who will
bring him $4,000 a year. The
other stipulations are that she
must be tall and a blonde. The
count says that he has estates in
France which are very valuable,
but that if he does not get the
wife and $4,000 the estates will
be lost to him. So far the French
man has been unsuccessful in his
search through this country,
which is very much to the credit
Of young women who could come
up the stipulations above men-
lions above mentioned, and who
could produce more than $4,000
if necessary. Apparently the
glamour of a count is paling
among our sensible American fe-
males.

A Registration Law.

At the last general election IN
this State the people voted ov-
erwhelmingly for a registration
law, but what has become of it?
The last Legislature failed to take
any action in the matter. The
people should see that no one is
sent to the Legislature this year
who is not favorable to this prop
osition. They should also see that
no one is sent to Charleston who
is not in favor of placing an edu-
catioaal qualification on the vo-
ter, and also compel him to pay
his taxes before he is allowed to
vote. As it now is the ignorant
negroes and foreign foaters hold
the balance of power in this State.
The power should be in the hands
of the honest taxpayers OF the
State.

Hand Crushed.

Oscar Goetgeluck met with a
painful accident Monday morning
while assisting in pulling casing
at well on the T. J. Taylor farm.
His hand was caught in some man
ner in some of the accoutrements
necessary for such work and bad
ly crushed. The accident while
painful, will result in nothing
more disastrous than incapacitat-
ing Mr.. Goeteluck for some days.
The victim of the accident is very
grateful to Miss Julia Taylor,
whose rare presence of mind in
the emergency in rendering aid
made his injuries less painful

Suicided.

Booth Nutter, who lived near
the mouth of Big Run, in Dodd-
ridge county, about three miles
above Oxford, committed suicide
Sunday evening by hanging him
self. The body was found Mon
day morning by some member of
the family. After arranging the
loop around his neck he tied his
hands and then made the fatal
leap. The body remained hang
ing many hours after it was
found, as no one dared to cut it
down until the proper authorities
arrived. 1t is probable that Mr..
Nutter was insane, as no other
cause can be assigned for his rash
act. He is survived by his wife
and several children, some of
whom are grown.

An enjoyable and brilliant af-
fair was the Guess Where Party
given by Clerk and Mrs. j. G.
Mayfeld, at their beautiful and
spacious home, on Main street,
in Middlebourne, on Wednesday
evening in compliment to the
members of the G. B. c. Q. club
and their gentleman friends. The
ladies were to keep their place OF
entertainment profound secret,
and the novelty of the affair was
for the gents to seek them. Well !!
The way those boys did trot the
streets to find those girls, as well
as the good things to eat, was a
caution. Suffice it to say they
found them. Then the merriment
began and progressive Finch, as
usual, was the principal feature
of the evening, consisting of four
tables. At a reasonable hour the
guests were invited to the dining
room where a tasteful and deli
cious lunch was served. The
guests and club departed wishing
for many more as pleasurable ev-
enings and as charming attention.
The guest list was Messrs. Leon
Smith, Clint Stealey, James

son, Ed Carter, Bert Duty, Ross

MOVING PICTURES.
A Fine Exhibition at the City OPP
era House Wednesday Night.

The moving picture exhibition
given at the City Opera house
Wednesday evening by Lyman I'll.
Howe under the auspices Of the
Sloan orchestra, was greeted by a
very large audience, and was
without doubt the finest exhibit
ton of it's kind ever presented in
this city. The orchestra numbers
and solos by members of the or
chestra were very fine and proved
a pleasing feature of the enter
tainment. Our people were afford
ed a most pleasing and high class
entertainment, and the orchestra
was able to net a nice sum for
their treasury.
The pictures shown by Mr..
Howe are in natural colors, and
are devoid of Pickering. All are
natural and lifelike, and show
original colors of men, animals,
landscapes, house interiors, scenes
in action and others of decided in
terest. The humorous scenes
among which was 'The Battle
With Snowballs," amused old and
young The historical series, "Rise
and Fall of Napoleon Bona
parte," the "Scenes in a Canad-
ian Logging Camp" and "Ride
Through the Famous Frazer Riv-
er Canon, Rocky mountains, on
the Pilot of an Engine, were the
finest moving picture scenes ever
presented in this city.-Galion
