IRON 9 until II o'clock, the oc-
casion being lemon party in
hopor of their guests, Misses
N jimmie Clare and Clara Yarbor-
olgh and Sarah Moore of Col
umbia.
Mrs 3 w Butler and Mrs "
G Gamble, assisted by Miss Es-
ther Gordon, received at the
door. The house was beautiful
ly decorated with ferns and cut
flowers, while the lawn was re-
splendent with the glow of many
colored lights, making the scene
one of beauty. The guests be-
ing assembled they were given
a numbered ticket which num-
showed each one who their
partner should be in the weigh
ing contest. Mr. NJ H Jacobs
being a skilled artist in the
handling of the balances was in
charge of this contest, and as
each couple was weighed their
combined weight was recorded.
At the conclusion Miss Thetis
Stackley and r K Wallace weie
declared the winners of
the prize, a beautiful pearl
handle fan, while Miss Minnie
Clare Marlborough and Mr. W W
+ were handed the lemon
I consolation. We refrain
h giving the weights of the
Zize winners as it is not a mat
ter of record, The couples were
then ushered into the spacious
parlor where they were enter
tanned with choice selections of
music from the skilled hands of
Misses Minnie Clare and Clara
Marlborough on the piano and
violin, also Professors Brockin-
ton and Epps.
Dainty refreshments were
served by little Misses Margue-
1 and Pauline Gordon. In the
refreshments the color for the
evening, lemon, was seen. The
couples were then ushered to
the western piazza which was
brilliantly lighted with many
japanese lanterns and there
under the boughs of the stately
lemon tree plucked from its
leaves a card telling them of
the mysterious things of the fu-
ture. The couples then adjourn
ed to cool and quiet hooks to
work out their destinies which
they had plucked from the tree
of fortune, and woe to him for
Vhom Dan Cupid had a lemon
iAstore.
In the midst of our merrymak.
ing a sound is heard that chillS
our hearts. 1t is . the Curfew
bells ringing the hour of mid
night, which warns Us that the
hour of parting has arrived.
Bidding our kind hostess and
her guests a happy good night
we wend our way homeward to
dream of those things that might
have been, if Curfew had not
rang that night.

Postal Savings Banks.

A special from Washington says:
Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania, has
introduced in the senate bill provid-
ing for the establishment Of postal
savings banks. This bill has the ap-
proval of Postmaster General Meyer
and will have the backing of President
Roosevelt and the administration.
It is designed to provide a safe de-
pository for the savings Of the people
and incidentally it is expected to
WELD a large influence towards the
prevention Of financial panics in the
future. Under it's terms, the Post
master General is authorized to deslg-
nate certain postoffces as postal saw
ings banks. Deposits OF from one
dollar to five hundred dollars will be
received at these banks and the gov
ernment will pay interest at the rate
of two per cent. 1t is provided that
deposits shall be considered public
moneys and subject to the safeguards
and preferences provided by statute.
This will guarantee absolute safety
to these savings deposits and in times
of financial disturbance people who
have been in the habit of withdraw
ing their money from the banks and
boarding it in hiding places are ex-
pected to deposit it with the postal
savings banks.
The funds thus deposited with the
government will be redeposited in
national banks and thus the money
will be kept in circulation. Bank
books are to be provided for deposit
tors and money can be Withdrawn at
any time subject to regulations made
by the Postmaster General. Had
some such measure been enforced
during the past six months, it is be-
lieved that the financial panic through
which the country has just passed
would have been averted.
Senator Knox has given this sub
ject careful study, and will exert his
influence to secure the passage of the
bill at this session of congress.

RATIONAL PNEUMONIA AND
la GRIPPE TREATMENT,

The most successful physicians are now
treating pneumonia by the application
of counter irritants. They are learning
to resist the temptation to doctor the
cough, which, after all, is only nature S
effort to relieve herself, and are en-
deavoring to reach the seat of the con-
gestion without the use of internal REM
edies.
Some are using preparations about as
pleasant to the patient as an application
of mud or putty, but the wisest use a
pleasant liquid counter irritant.
The ideal remedy is Noah's Liniment.
It's carefully compounded ingredients
possess wonderful powers Of penetration
and Immediately reduce the infamma-
ton and congestion.
Noah's Liniment is absolutely harm
less, and can be used freely without con-
sultation with physician. Apply the
iniment freely over the point Of pain or
congestion. Saturate hot flannel and
keep it applied to that portion of the
body. The effect will be almost imme-
diate, and in many cases the threatened
pneumonia will be dispelled before a
physician can be secured.
Best for rheumatism, sciatia, lame
back, stiff joints and muscles, sore
throat, colds, strains, sprains, cuts,
bruises, collie. cramps, etc. For in
ternal and external aches and pains
Noah's Liniment has no equal. For

Mistaken.

For six years bitter feud had ex-
listed between the Browns and Robin
sons, next door neighbors, says Tit

through the depredations of Browns
cat, and had grown so fixed an affair
that neither party ever dreamed of
making up.o One day, however,
Brown sent his servant next door with
a peace-making note for Mr.. Robin
son, which read:
ssMr. Brown sends his compliments
to Mr.. Robinson, and begs to say that
his, old cat died this morning. i
Robinson's written reply was bittert

been able to cure in all it's stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to

constitutional disease, requires a con-

Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of

Hog Cholera.

The greatest drawback to the hog
industry which breeders in this coun-
try have to contend with is what is
known ass hog cholera and "swine
plague.o
Hog cholera is highly contagious
disease and unless checked is liable to
carry Off great number of hogs in a
very short time.
Mr.. A. P. Williams, of Burnetts
Creek, Ind, tells of an experience
which he had with some hogs that
had the cholera. Give years ago."
says Mr.. Williams, II was in the en-
ploy of Mr.. J. D. Richardson, La
fayette, Ind, as his barn foreman.
Some fine hogs that I was feeding
took the cholera. Igave them Sloan's
Liniment and did not lose a hog.
Some were SO bad they would not
drink sweet milk and was compelled
to drench them. I have tried it at
every opportunity since and always
find it O. K.n

School Children Perish in Fire.

One hundred and seventy-fve
school children perished in an angry
fire at Cleveland, Ohio, on Wednes-
day. The fire originated from a de-
fective furnace in the basement of
the school building. A panic among
the children followed and hundreds
were trampled to death and their
bodies completely consumed in the
flames.
One fireman, after saving IS chill
dren, fell from exhaustion and died
Immediately. The scene was heart
rending, as the fond parents stood by
powerless to aid their loved ones in
making escape. The screams of the
children, as their bodies anguished in
the fire caused hundreds of women 10
faint, and the excitement was intense.
