Uptown Omces.

The express companies oper-
ating in Winfield have been
progressive enough to put one
Office uptown and free delivery
service, now it would seem that
the Postal and Western Union
companies might put in uptown
telegraph Offices. 1t would be a
great convenience to the business
people of the town and would re-
suit in more business for the
wires.

HEARST IS SATISFIED
Says He Will Never Again be
A Candidate.
He VIII Continue to Reside In New
York and Advocate and Support
Principles of Reform.

San Antonio, Tex, Nov. 49,
VIM. r. Hearst. recently demo-
cratic candidate for governor of
New York, was here at noon to-
day for a few minutes on his way
to Monterey, where he has min
ing interests. He is accompanied
by the members of his family.
In discussing what his future
course will be i'm reference to pol
itics in New York, he said: 81
shall continue to reside in New
York and advocate and support
the principles of reform which |
have always stood for, but these
principles are now sufficiently un-
derstood by the general public
for it to be no longer necessary
for me to be a candidate.
"You probably know it is by
no means pleasant to be a candi-
date. l am glad that in the
future it is to be my privilege TO
stand for the principles of gov
erDment I haye always advocated
without being a candidate for
Office and on that account at
tackled with much bitterness"

The sunnower and II. Uses.

The sunflOwer is a native Of Amer
lea. In 1869 It was introduced into
Europe and is now extensively cult
waited there, particularly in Russia,
where it is grown principally for the
oil contained in its seed. The seeds
after the shells are removed contain
81 per cent of oil. This oil is clear.
light yellow, nearly odorless and Of a
peculiar pleasant and mild taste. 1t is
said TO he superior to both almond and
olive oil for table purposes and is used
in making soap and candles. In Rus
STA the larger seeds are sold in i'm
mense quantities to the lower classes
of the people. who eat the kernels as
we do peanuts. The stalks furnish
valuable fertilizer. while the green
leaves are dried, pulverized and mixed
with meal as food for cows. The stalk
produces an excellent flavor II is said
that Chinese silk goods commonly CON
tain more or less sunhower fiber. The
50 called Niger seed oil is made from a
species of sunfower family which is a
native of Abyssinia. II furnishes the
common lamp oil of upper India, where
it is largely cultivated.

A Fnmour French Palace.

The Chateau de Rambouillet has a
history remote from the literary fad of
the eighteenth century which has made
the word Rambouillet significant of an
epoch OF French culture. 1t was in
this chateau that Francis l. breathed
his last and Charles y. was deserted
in his death 1t Is not generally
known, however how Louis XVI. be
came its proprietor Until lTS5 Ram
bouillet belonged TO the Due de Pen
thievre, grandson of Louis XIV. and
Nine de Montespan. Louis XVI. wish
cd very much to possess It. This de-
sire became u fixed passion, which was
augmented by his dislike Of its own
er. But one day he declared, THE
possession Of Rambouillet would be
the happiness of my life" To which
the duke graciously replied: God for
bid that / should he the cause Of your
unhappiness. Sire, RambOuillet is
yours on your own terms" The price
fixed was 100000 francs. Of which
100000 were paid the next day in
gold from the royal treasury.

Christian EndeaYOr Social.

Friday evening of last week the
Christian Endeavor Society, OF the
Congregational church, gave a Left
hand social, at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Lawson, a mile and half south
east of town. Between forty and fifty
EndeavOrers and their friends made
merry and enjoyed one of the pleas
ATTEST social evenings of the season.
No small part of the pleasure enjoyed
by the young people was the straw
ride going and coming. Upon arrival
each guest was required to register
with the left hand. In fact one was
informed that they were indebted to
the society to the extent of one cent, if
10 greeting, game or gesture the right
hand was used Refreshments con-
ssting of sandwiches, pickles, waters,
cocoa and nuts were served, after
which the guests started home, hoping
for many more social evenings to-
gether and voting their hosts, roy
al entertainers.

Social Dance.

a very pleasant evening was spent
at the home of John Strobe Friday.
Instrumental and vocal music were
prominent features of the early part
OF the evening, after which the crowd
repaired to the warehouse, where they
danced until eleven o'clock. Refresh
ments having been served, the young
folks departed for hore, declaring the
evening to have been "a most ENJOY
able one. Those present were:-
Misses Myrl and Essa Stewart, Katie

Social DOings.
The Ladies' Aid Supper.

The supper and sale last Thursday
evening, under the auspices of the
Ladies' Aid Society of the Methodist
church. was a grand success in every
way. We are told it was the largest
company ever assembled in Welsh on
similar occasion. The supper was
all that the most fastidiOus epicure
could desire, and was generously
served. The young ladies who &C ted
as walters, and those who composed
the reception committee and, others
who had charge of the different booths,
wore the "Martha Washington" cap
and neckerchiefs, to several of whom
this quaint style of dress was quite be-
coming. y fine musical and literary
program had been prepared, but owing
to the crowded condition of the hall
and the physical hunger of many who
had not yet been served to supper, the
clatter of dishes and uneaSineSS of the
crowd, it was with great difficulty that
the program was rendered at all, and
could not be appreciated. The ladies
regretted that they had not made larg-
er provision for serving and that some
grew tired of waiting and went away
without having had supper, but they
had not reckoned on such a generous
patronage, and for which they desire
to thank the people of Welsh and
community. They also desire to thank
the members of the Masonic order for
their kind and generous spirit in civ
ing them the use of their rooms and
chairs.
Financially the occasion was
marked success, the proceeds being
$500. Let US have more of these oc-
caSions. They bring people together
in social way and give folks
chance to get acquainted with their
neighbors, as we'll as to help a worthy
cause.

B. Y. =. u.

The leader took for her lesson Sun
day night the alternate subject. "The
forgiveness of Sins" instead of the
missionary thought. While the scope
for discussion was large, vet the lead
er outlined the subject SO we'll that the
whole trend was our christian duty
along this line. Mrs Tanner did her
self credit in the display of her ability
in her leaderships. The thoughts were
easily understood. Mrs. SilaS Day
led off with we'll time thoughts and
ably followed by Mrs. Alfred Martin.
Brothers Brock and Goodreau read
scripture endorsing the position taken
by these two workers TO the effect that
it was not onl y our privilege but our
duty to forgive an erring brother
whether forgiveness is asked or not.
While there were really no new
thoughts advanced for the more eX-
perienced christians, yet the animation
put in the subject by everyone who
took part, and there were severed,
gave the subject much interest to all.
Not only was the meeting of the B..
Y. P. I. interesting as well as in
structive but the little juniors held
up their end Of the work admirably.
Their subject was strictly missionary.
Francis Carr had her thoughts beau.
tifully lined up, not only pointing out
the different kinds of strangers with.
in our gates but where they were to
be found, how TO find them and what
to do and how to do it when we found
them. Faith Sargent will lead the

Catholic Supper An Eminent Success.

The supper given by the ladies OF
the Altar Society of the catholic
church, in Martins Hall Wednesday
evening was thorough success from
every view point. The ladies served
supper, creole gumbo and other good
things until late hour, after which
the floor was cleared and the young
folks enjoyed a social dance until the
midnight hour. That the ladies were
generously patronized may be judged
from the fact that they cleared some
thing like one hundred and seven dol
lars on the supper.
