IN
THE PARK
STRANGE. MYsTIFY1NG v1s1-
TATIoNS CLEARED BY THE
VIGILANT POLICE

For some time the residents in the
Park and the people passing through
have heard noises coming from the
home of Capt. Everman, and know
ing that the family are in Chicago
all were at loss to know the mean
ing of it-whether beings or ghosts
were responsible for the sounds.
Last Wednesday night as Mr.. Pei
ham Archer was passing the house,
he heard the familiar sound resen-
bling human voices and he reported
it to Mr.. Joe HARRISON and Cap.
Quinn who went to investigate and
finally located the ghosts aud
cleared up the mystery.
The "ghosts" proved to be it
tie off color, and are known If. Green
vile as Ida Downs and Sam Percy.
When arrested they claimed they
were watering the plants and trim
ming the vines as requested by Mrs
Everman before she left But the
officer thinking that 8 o'c'ock at
night was an unsuitable time for
such work he locked them up.
Before the Mayor Thursday morn
ing they told the same tale, and Ida
claimed to be employed by Mrs Ev-
erman, but the Mayor dismissed
them after assessing Ida $40 and
costs and Sam $40 and costs.
It is safe to say that there will be
no GHOSTS" to worry the residents
in the Park in the future.

BANQUET BY POSTS 10 AND II
Time and Expense Not Spared in Making the
Occasion Long to be Remembered

His address was well received and
applauded.
When the feasting had finished and
the great host of banquebers were
each enjoying a good cigar, Mr..
Stone introduced the Hon. Nathan
Goldstein to speak on the Quarantine
Committee. On rising the speaker
raised glass and proposed for all to
drink toast to all present, absent,
and at home, and the hope that the
Lord will keep the fever out of the
city. He then gave history of the
Committee of Five, and the arduous
duties they were compelled to fulfill.
He said that of the original COM
mattee only two stood the test, who
were Mr.. James Robershaw and him
self. He said they were subjects
for cussing and discussing, but it
mattered not what was said or done
they would continue to act for the
best ineress of he city, and keep out
the fever if possible
On taking his seat, Mayor Yerger
proposed a toast to the Committee
of Five. and that the Mayor and
guards pledge themselves to stand
by the eommit.pe The tosat was
made with a hearty good will.
The next speaker introduced by
the toastmaster was the Hon Van
B. Boddie and his toast was The
Seductive Game of Draw" and dur
ing his appreciated remarks he drew
many Aushes of applause from his
attentive listeners. He stated that
his subject, no doubt, had some con-
nection with the game of poker, but
as he said he could only remember
of seeing two games played, he was
very awkward, etc ,at the game He
then proceeded to name some of the
four-flushers Of the city, but for fear
that some future members of the
grand jury might read them we omit

Mr.. Stevenson Archer was ap-
pointed superintendent OF education

f. L. Grads, who died a few weeks
ago in Colorado.
Mr. Archer held the office several
terms before his successors, Hon.
Percy Bell and f. L. Grady, were ap-
pointed and it is no new thing to
him. During Mr. Gradys absence
from the city. before his death, he
has been acting in the capacity of SUI
priTendent OF education, and has al
ways given the county faithful,
honest service.
Greenville has no nobler and more
honorable citizen, and the cause OF
