A ParIor Picnic.
j. W. WOFFORD.
Chairman.

Unique of all parties of the season
vas that given by Miss Levi Moore at
Mrs. Poseys, residence on Thanksgiving
evening. There we're about twenty
five of us youths and maidens. matrons
and-well, never mind what the rest of
US were, we enjoyed it and it vas one
of our set that recalled from out the
past the dear old games our grandmoth-
ers use to play. One game also that
they surely didn't play was progressive
old maid", this was exciting. We
will spare the bushes of the youth who
got the BOBBY prize for being an old
maid the greatest number of times, We
are in such an amiable mood about it.
A picnic in the messy woods was
never more enjoyable. All sat down
merrily to the supper on the floor, some
of us rising just as gracefully as we sat
down, while some others, the younger
ones perhaps, were cramped by the
position and fingered a while, the spell
broken by ONE one enquiring, Is this
Thursday night. another replying, No,
its Friday morning, and S o it was.
"a little nonsense now and then,
Is relished by the wisest men,"

Lack Of Police Protection.

From ten O'Clock at night until morn
ing this town is absolutely without any
police protection. Any bold burglar
would have plenty of time to work I'M
disturbed and get away with his plumber
before any discovery could be made.
During the day time there are two
police officers on duty, and during the
night, when all the petty thefts are COM
mitted in town, there are none!
The merchants of the town have ex-
pressed their dissatisfaction with such
an arrangement, and we understand
that a number of them will appear at
the next meeting of the Board of Com
missioners and enter a most emphatic
protest. They will demand either adj
ditional police to patrol the city at night
or that one of the day officers be assign
ed to that duty. They say the present
arrangement does not fill the bill at all.
Especially at the depot is there need of
police at night, incomparably more so
than during the daytime. It is believed
that an officer on duty during the night
will have a beneficial effect upon the
ev~il-disposed, will lessen the petty steal
ing, will be an additional safeguard
against fire, and generally be conducive
to the good and welfare of the town
and a body of representative business
men r going to call on the city fathers
and tell them so.

HOSPITAL Benefit.

The hospital benefit last Friday was
eminently successful. The ladies clear
ed $50 to go into the building fund. Un-
fortunately they were disappointed in
receiving their shipment of oysters, and
did not have enough to supply the
demand. One enthusiastic and hungry
couple paid a dollar for a plate of salad,
and practically everything was sold out
with people clamoring for more.
The soliciting committee of the hos
pital will soon start to visit the business
men of the town. The Association has
$500 worth of real estate, and now in
tends raising funds for their first build
ing, a cottage.

Doctors are at daggers drawn at the

arisen as 10 whether OF not this fruit

as follows:

through which has passed and is still

Thus the highest representative OF
the Catholic Church has condemned

but the very principle upon which it
rests.
II is IN this that the autocratic spirit
of Catholicism appears. IL cannot man

The seculariZatioI or the state in
