Pleasant Trip to the Country
Lutheran Church Social Much
Enjoyed Tickets Sold to
the Fair.

Prosperity, October 26.-Mr. w. H.
{Unc1e Mike) Kempson has been in
town the past week.
Your correspondent had the pleas
ure of trip to the country last Sun
day and to say we enjoyed it is to put
it mild. Owing to the fact that the
madam was along we had, of course,
to be subject to ''1he powers that be" :"
We enjoyed it and regret that Uncle
Jimmie and Aunt Mollie are going to
move to town and we can't go back to
see them again in their pleasant coun-
try homo.
There will be local law and order
league organized here in the near fu-
ture.
We regret to chronicle the death of
Mrs. Lizzie Boulware at her sons,
Mr.. I. H. Boulware. Mrs. Boulware
was at one time a resident of our
town and one daughter, Mrs. D. M.
Langford, still resides here. Mrs
Boulware was laid to rest this morn
ing in New Chapel cemetery.
Mr.. John Taylor came in this morn
ing and in his arms he had a mann
moth beet. It weighs 7 3-4 pounds
and can be seen at the S. S. Birge
Co.'S. store. It is beauty for a beet.
Can anyone beet (beat) it?
The social gathering atSthe Luther
an parsonage last Friday night was
quite an enjoyable affair. There were
many persons present who enjoyed
the hospitality of mine host, Pastor
Kreps, and his good lady.
Coffee, tea and cake were served
and oh, my! how some Of those old
fellows ate cake and drank coffee was
a caution but then an explanation is
to be found in the young ladies at
the table with them. -.

The Southern railway sold 22o tick
cts to the fair including this mornings
train. The c. N. & L. so.
There was enacted here on Sunday
night tragedy that up to this writing
remains mystery. Our local "Sher-
lock Holiness has not been able to
,'nravel it. The door of the guard
house in the city hall is left unlocked
at night for use of the night watch
man. Some time during the night
while the watchman was on his round,
fight or encounter took place just
inside the door and quite pool of
blood on the floor and wall showed
where something was hurt and that
pretty severely for the blood gushed
forth and the stains show that some
artery was touched. The object was
tracked around on Main street and tn /.
bloody trail led through town but was
lost near the Methodist church. There
has been much speculation as to what
it could have been but there has been
no satisfactory solution, so far as we
can learn. Some say one thing, some
another, but the mystery remains un-
solved. We have not heard of any
one being seriously hurt about here.
II it was any person they must have
gone on. The watchman knows moth
ing in reference to it.
Arbor and dedication day will be OBJ
served just as soon as the new build
