 The visit of Mrs. Ligon has been as usual the occasion for her admirers to shower her with social attentions, and she has been entertained a great deal. At the Woodward -Jemfson we'd ding that she came to attend she was considered by many to be the most beautiful woman seen at the church. and she held a little court at the re- ception. Everywhere the eyes of every one follow her. but she is quite unspoiled. and her manners are charm ingly gracious. She is said by those who knew her when she lived in Bir- mingham to be even more beautiful this winter. Her lovely dark eyes and hair and her exquisite face cannot be soon forgotten. -Birmingham Age-Her- ald

MEETING OF THE
 WINNIE DAVIS CHAPTER.

The Winnie Davis Chapter. Children of the Confederacy, met Friday after noon at the home of the Director. The meeting was an interesting and enthu- siastic one, owing to the patriotic words of Clare Hertz, who asked the members to donate something towards starting a fund for the purpose of erecting in this city statue of Jef- ferson Davis. the first President of the Confederacy; also to ask the assistance of all other chapters and patriotic Southerners in this noble work. The members then unanimously agreed to go to work at once and decided to give a "Tacky Party" next Thursday Thanksgiving night, at AZ South Me- Donough Street.
 An original Thanksgiving story by Lucille Wolfe was greatly enjoyed. At the close of the meeting 1t was agreed to have a special meeting tomorrow (Monday) at 3:30 p. n1., to complete ar and appoint commit tees for the Tacky Party.

the wind carried the remark to the
sophomore and she looked up quickly
to see If it had reached the other girl
Apparently it had not. That young

At the next corner a festive maiden,

This left the second man at something
of disadvantage. He also arose and

first entered the car. She surveyed
him coldly.

Harvest For Railroads.

| Sioux City, July 25.--With the end
OF the rush for the Rosebud land, there
also comes an end to the most remark
able run of business in the history OF
| the passenger departments of the rail-
roads which run into South Dakota.
| 1t is estimated that the Chicago
Milwaukee & st. Paul, and the Chica-
go & Northwestern carried $4,000 pas
sengers to Yankton and Chamberlain.
The Milwaukee 10000 to Yankton and
Chamberlain and the Northwestern
| 10, 900 to Yankton. Four-fifths of this
travel passed thru Sioux City.
| The Nilwaukee's business is said to
have been worth s250000 to the road.
The average cost of the tickets which
the Northwestern handled thru Sioux
! City was given as so, which made its
business to Yankton from Alton and
the east to Sioux City and the south
amount to about s1T5,o00.
The business was handled without
an accident.
The travel yesterday on both roads
was much ligh'er than had been an-
ticipated. the empty seats here and
+ there being in great contrast with the
dersely crowded trains of the last three
weeks.
1t had been believed that hundreds
Iof Sioux City people would leave yes
tcrday for Yankton. but this did no.
prove to be the case. Only two trains
left the Milwaukee depot in the morn
ing. and the usual jam and rush that
has been the case for the past week at
least. was lacking The agent had no
trouble in taking care of the 500 pas
sengers. Each of the two trains car
ried ten coaches.
On the Northwestern road nothing
aside from the regular business was
transacted. as passengers do not reach
Yankton until o'clock.
