The Election Locally.

Grundy County's total vote is
estimated at $50, the democratic
vote sustaining less loss than the
republican in comparing with
the Gubernatorial race of 1904
in which Frazier received 1856,
while Littleton's vote was 2S4.
A close estimate in the absents
of the official returns for this
year gives Patterson 474, Ray
100, Evans 1856. From these
fignres it looks as though the
republican loss was Rays gain
as the vote for the same candi-
date in 1904 was less than 100
throughout the County. Hon.
John A. Moon led the democrat
ic vote by about 25, while Hon.
7. j. Kings vote was about %
less than Patterson. A stimu-
lous was given the socialist tick
ct by Fred Woodlee, of the 9th
district name for state senator
and A. J. Brangan Of Tracy City,
for Floater on their ticket. Thos.
J. King, democratic nominee for
Floater from this the 18th dis
trict, is having a neck and neck
race with his republican oppo-
nent. Mr.. GARRISON, of Cum
berland County, the latter from

Year Full of Calamities.

This year will pass into his
tory with black record of
calamities unexcelled in length.
We hope it will be many a year
before the record of 1906 shall be
broken. Russia and japan have
been famine stricken, as that
was at least in part the result of
war it cannot wholly be charged
to the account of nature. But
while we were taking up collec-

those countries there occurred

Mrs. Craigie's Address.

An amusing story of the late
Mrs. Craigie, the noted novelist,
was told the other day at the
Authors club in New York.
"When Mrs. Craigie was in
America last year, said the edi.
tor, she was invited to make an
address at certain meeting.
She accepted the invitation, but
her name, through some over
sight, was put far down on the
program, and worse than that,
the chairman, a rather stupid
person, introduced before her
some speakers who were not on
the program at all.
"In short, it was close on to II
O'Clock when the chairman, with
a pleasant smile, bowed and
said:
Mrs. Craigie, the eminent au.
thor of "Some Emotions and a
Moral" will now give us hel
address.
Mrs. Craigie rose and said,
calmly:
"My address is No. IS Lancas.
ter Gate, Hyde Park, W., Lon.
don, and | now wish you all
goodnight, for | am far from
home"

Halloween Party.

A very unique and delightful
Halloween party was given by
the Misses White. The lovely
home of these young ladies is so
adapted for entertaining. The
decorations were elaborate, a
profusion of chrysanthemums
being used, holly and vines made
the attractive house look festive,
while the autumnal foliage,
jackolanterns and electric bulbs,
the sslatter being covered with
yellow paper, lent the Halloween
charm to the rooms.
Much laughter was caused by
the numerous ways of telling
fortunes. Mrs. W. II. Foster is
to be complimented as a Fortune
Teller as she played an impor-
tant part In that line.
The DINING room was a reve-
lation and beautiful in every de-
tail, the floor was covered with
autumn leaves while artistic
decorations were graceful in
every available place, jackolan-
terms being the only lights used.
On one side of the room there
were thirty pumpkins on the
floor and each couple was told to
take pumpkin. When all were
seated on the carpet of leaves it
was a pleasant surprise to find
that every pumpkin had been
scooped out and the top cut for a
lid, each was lined with paper
napkin and contained very
dainty delicious lunch which
consisted of sandwiches, nut
salad, olives, pickles and tiny
pumpkin pie, ginger cakes and
sweet cider were served. Very
small wooden paddles were in
each pumpkin to be used instead
of forks.
The witch, who looked very at
tractive in her red costume had
a prominent position by the fire.
place, where she served coffee,
telling all to save the grounds
and she afterward told their for
tune. Miss Hattie Hampton
drew the prize pumpkin contain
ed miniature spook.
Before leaving the lights we're
turned out and Mrs. White in
her congenial way told three
ghost stories and Mrs. Patton
also told one, which caused a
great deal of excitement and
merriment. A farewell song
was sung by all, and everyone,
very reluctantly, took their de-
parture after declaring they had
never spent more pleasant even.
