room with vacant chair BESIDE each
fellow. At the taps of small bell the
young ladies seemed to come from every
where, each one sitting beside man.
Then the girls would propose in Incir
most persuasive and winning manner for
two short minutes. Then each girl would
move up seat and propose TO the next
fellow and so on until every girl had pro
posed to every fellow. The fun derived il.
understandable.
When everyone had received his pro
pcsal vote was taken to ascertain who
had proposed in the most charming man
ner The prize. a lovely silver hat-pin,
was won by Miss Eula Darlington New
som, whose proposals added to her lovable
personality won everyone of the lorty
fellows present.
As usual Mrs. Holding proved an ideal

come every year. Think OF it, being
proposed to by forty beautiful, enhancing
young ladies' in one evening.

Winter in Georgia--the frost on the shed,
But the cider is sweet, an the apples are

The oak fires leap bright
Up the chimney by night,
And we dance till the drowsy eyed stars

Winter in Georgia-there' snow on the

But the cane juice is sweet as it drips

And your future, 1t lies
In your sweetheart's bright eyes
AS you walk hand-in-hand where the

Causby Escapes But is Retaken.

Robert Causby, the murderer
of Sheriff J, D. Morgan, escaped
from Jail at Batesville Monday in
one of the most daring attempts
in the history of that county, but
he was quickly rccaptured,
Chas. Trauger, in Jail for rob-
berry, escaped also, but was re-
taken.
In some manner Causby had
slipped his handouts, and when
the jailer entered the cell, he
dashed a blanket over him and
crushed him TO the floor. Tying
the blanket securely over the
iailer's head, Causby took his
keys and, with the other prison.
er, walked out, locking the jailer
inside. A gentleman at the Ba-
ker hotel, seeing Causby gave
the alarm and instantly the pris-
oners took TO their heels. They
were chased and Causby cap
tured after he had ran about
four blocks. The other prisoner
was captured a little later. After
capturing Causby, there was
talk of lynching him, but no
violence was done.
Circuit court eonvenes at
Batesville next Monday, and
there is hardly any doubt but
that Causby will be given a
speedy trial and sentenced to
hang.
