LITTLE HELLos HAVE a DINNER
Young Ladies at Central Are Thus
Remembered.

While others have been busy in pre-
paration for the holiday festivities and
thinking only of those very near to
them, one big hearted citizen did not
overlook the pleasure of that coterie of
willing and ever faithful toilers-the
young ladies employed at the telephone
exchange. A day or two ago he had
prepared a superb possum dinner,
which was served at TIE exchange with
his compliments. Itneed not be stated
that the act was appreciated by the
young ladies-the kind thoughtfulness
prompting it as much as the feast itse f.

written nor contemplated writing such
articles and she asks that denial pc
made promptly, so that no one may pc

Southern subscribers. Such a bold
statement deserves severest condemna-

The Constitution provides that after
the first day of January. 1908, the fol-

to register. and then the educational

The Russell Register is plainly in
error when 1t contends that the door
of registration is shut In the face of
those who being qualified to register
prior to January 1. 1908. failed to do
so by that time. The opportunity of
taking advantage of the grandfather
clause expired and expired forever on
the first of January 1908, but all other
doors are open. The Advertiser is per-
fectly correct in it's assertion that
those who did not register prior to
January l. 1908, have had many oppor-
tunities since then to do So" The best
part of 1t is that great many in ev-
cry part of the State have done SO and
we hope those who are yet unregis-
tered will at once proceed to get their
names on the list.
