GIFTS IN COPPER FOR MEN.

Copper appears in many of the fin
est gifts.
This metal Of richest hue lends itself
to magnificent advantage and is espe-
cially in evidence in gifts for men. In
most of these pieces the copper is
hammered and there's additional
adornment in the shape of arrow
heads. These arrow heads are said to
be the real thing" having been used
by 'Lo' in days more or less remote.
They certainly tone in beautifully with
the deep and richly-glowing copper
color.
One rich piece is in the shape of a
plain copper tankard. A veritablc
shower of arrow heads is bound on
around it in primitive style. This piece
costs S3S. The cigar jar is decorated
In the same way, while the effectively
hammered cigar box is brass-bound
and finished with a row of antique
looking nail heads. There are entire
desk sets, as well as complete smok-
ing sets. The arrow-finished, hammer
ed-copper paper knives are exceeding
ly heavy. In most of these the arrow
head makes an effective handle.

TATTNALL C0UNTY'S
CAMPAIGN FOR SHERIFF.
Feeding and Care of Prisoners One
of fha Issues.

Feeding and Care of Prisoners One
of the Issues.
A prominent citizen of Tattnall coun-
ty, who was in the city yesterday.
speaking of the situation, politically,
in that county, said: "Since Sheriff
A. d. Smiths death there have been
a dozen or more men spoken of in
connection with the race for sheriff, but
there are now actually in the field
eight or nine candidates, among whom
are Willis Edwards, who was sheriff
of that county several years ago and
who is a Confederate veteran; j. b.
Collins, w. r. Philips, Sam j. Alex
ander, w. Y. Kennedy, John p. Rog-
ers, Porter Patrick and Brantley Sur
rency. All are good men and have
personal popularity and large family
influence.
THE primary will be held on Jan.
6, and the election Will be held on Jan.
IL. The feeding of the prisoners in
jail and caring for the jail is one is
sue that is being made. Sheriff Smith,
who recently died, left a widow and
a large family, and Mr.. Edwards, who
is a candidate to succeed the dead Mr..
Smith, offers to allow Mrs. Smith the
privilege of furnishing meals and board
in the Jail, for the prisoners, while the
other candidates have not been heard
from. This is very vital to the race
and will have a great bearing upon the
result, as Sheriff Smith was perhaps
the most popular man in the county
and the people want to see that his
widow is properly cared for.
The campaign promises to be an in
teresting one, and even the best in
formed politicians cannot say thus far
ahead in such a mix up who will be
the winning candidate.

AT EPW0RTH CHURCH
Little Ones Had Delightful Enter
tainment Last Night.

tHlnnent Adbt NABhts
The annual Christmas tree entertain
ment at Epworth Methodist Church,
Rev. Isaac P. Tyson, pastor, was CIV
en- last night in the auditorium of the
church. All of the members of the
Sunday-school, together with their
parents and friends. were present, and
the excellent programme was enjoyed
by all.
The church had been very prettily
decorated in Christmas greenery. Long
festoons of holly and smilax stretched
from different points about the rooms,
and the platform was completely
screened with greenery and potted
plants. At appropriate points were
hung floral emblems that added to the
beauty of the scene.
The programme, which was printed
in full in the Morning News of ye>-
terday. was excellently rendered. The
Rotations, songs and drills were well
given and showed the marks of the
careful training through which the
participants had been put by their
teachers. There was not a hitch In
the programme and nothing occurred
to mar the pleasure of the event.
At a point in the programme near
the closing Santa Claus appeared and
began distributing the gifts that filled
the Christmas tree. There were gifts
Tor the children. for the fathers ana
mothers, and for the friends Of the
Sunday-school. Candy and fruits were
largely in evidence and not a scholar
went away empty-handed. At the
close of the entertainment one and all
voted 1t the most successful in the
history of the school.

AT THE THEATER

A small but appreciative audience
attended the production of "A Girl
From Dixie" last night. There are no
particular stars in the cast, but the
company is well voiced and consider
ably stronger numerically and other
wise than the one which presented the
piece here last year.
The comedy is replete with catchy
music. such as Harry B. Smith all
ways writes. and many of the airs are
of high merit. The principals were the
same as last year with the exception of
Kitty Calvert, who was interpreted
last night by Miss Gertrude Milling
ton, a young woman of much promise
in her chosen profession, and Maud
Mable Earl cared for by Olga May.
The singing of THE Sunfiower and
the Sun by Miss Julia Brink was the
most commendable offering of the
many beautiful songs. The piece will
be presented at a special matinee to-
day, and to those who have never seen
this production of Smiths, it will not
be time wasted to attend. The pre-
senting company arrived at a late
hour yesterday evening and the mem
bers were, consequently, very tired,
having ridden all day from Column
bus. For an afternoons jolly en-
tertainment "A Girl From Dixie" is
the thing.
The Arnold Stock Company will pre-
sent on Monday matinee. "The Little
Mother" and at night, "A Daughter of
Satan" a sensational melodrama in
four acts. A change of bill will be
given at each performance during the
engagement. Special vaudeville will be
introduced between the acts. Seats
are now on sale. At the matinee per-
Torrance on Monday all seats will be
reserved, zoe admission; to the bal

PAPER PARTY AT MISS VESTS
SCHOOL,.

A pretty little event of yesterday
was the masquerade party given in
the evening at Miss Vests School
for Girls. The children were asked
to come in paper costumes, and the
idea of a paper party" was carried
out in many clever ways. The rooms
We're decorated with paper garlands
and chains made by the children, In
terspersed with little holly and mis-
tletoe, as appropriate to the Christmas
season.
Santa Claus was present. dressed in
red paper, with beard of white pa
per. Almost all the teachers wore pa
per costumes, and the children were
dressed in many pretty ways, as
Mother Goose characters and as flow
ers.
Miss Mary Osborne as Little Jack
Horner" dispensed plums, each OF
which contained a fortune. There
was a paper Christmas tree fastened
to the wall, and the children, blind
folded, attempted to pin candles In
their proper place on the branches.
Santa Claus distributed little souve-
Mrs which had been made by MISS
West and Miss Carmichael-for the
little children, dolls for the interme-
date department. umbrellas; ana Tor
the older girls, chrysanthemums.
Only a few outsiders were present
besides the pupils and teachers. The
parents had been asked informally to
be present, as had some of the older
sisters, and those who did attend en-
joyed the little entertainment very
much. A pretty incident of the even
ing was the Delsarte exercises given
by the children, with recitations.
