pose Of War Department BusI-
ness Before Leaving

Of sloughing OF my ofiicial robes"
/ This was the laconic description Of
his condition given by Secretary VIII
liam H. Taft Tuesday evening as he
sat at his big fiat topped desk in his
private ONCE at the war department.
He had been working like an East
Indian slave during the day in the
disposition Of more or less important
departmental business. He gave mo-
tice early in the day that he did not
propose to discuss politics in the last
hours Of his administration as secre-
tary Of war, because Of the enormous
amount Of routine matter which he
necessarily had on hand. Throughout
the day he was in consultation with
Gov. Wright, who Is to be his success
sor as executive head of the war de-
partment and with bureau chiefs Of
the department.
The only real political conference
he had during the day was with
Representative Theodore e. Burton
Of Cleveland, O. The conference was
prolonged. Mr.. Burton discussed with
the secretary the details of the con-
vention and the political situation az
1t has developed since the conven.
ton adjourned. They devoted par.
tlcular attention to the political con-
ditions in Ohio, Mr.. Taft's native |
state, concerning which he is especial
ly solicitous.
At the conclusion of the conference,
Mr.. Burton said that a number Of
questions were considered by Mr.. Taft
and himself concerning which he
could not talk.
"Mr. Vorys, who has been mentioned
in connection with the national chair
Of the Republican party will
be identified probably with the ap-
national campaign in an i'm
portant capacity; but, as the situa-
tlon is now, he will not be the chair
man of the committee.
have no information at this time
On the national chairmanshlu Ques-
ton beyond that. l am quite certain,
however, that all Of the wrinkles
which now seem to exist will be
.moothed out In few days"
Commenting upon his interview
With Mr.. Burton. Secretary Taft said
automatically: I'VE considered the
tate of the whole union, but little
political touch was given to the inter
riew, 1 will admit" Il
1t developed from the talk with {
secretary Taft that Mr.. Burton may

etary said that he and Mrs. Taft l
md their son, Charlie, would leave t

hat he sent out notices Tuesday to

Reception

Mr.. and Mrs. McGaughy threw open
their beautiful home the 9th inst in
compliment to Miss Madge Haughton
of Aberdeen and Miss Hilary Ward of
Okolona.
The halls were decorated with many
pot plants, red geranium and red carna
tons in stately cut glass vases. The
diningroom ard parlor which We're
thrown together as one vast room,
were ornamented with pink roses, and
this color was carried out in the re,
freshments, pink cream and pink cake.
Master Clay and little Miss Mary
Haughton of the home, received the
guests and conducted them to the punch
bowl. This was arranged in a charm
ing corner of the lower hall where the
spicy odor of the carnation was blended
with the fragrance of other flowers
and the beauty of the graceful ferns.
Here the guests fingered talking to the
hostesses of the bowl, Mesdames Berk-
ley and Pound till Clay and Mary Haugh-
ton carried them off to the parlor.
Here they were met by iIr. and Mrs.
McGaughy who introduced them to the
ho%norees of the occasion, and to the
receiving party, viz. Misses Evelyn
Allen and Pauline Topp and Messrs Lily,
Blair, Carmen and DR.. Topp.
Mrs. McGaughy was attired simply in
white, SO in keeping with her dainty
loneliness. Miss Haughton wore lace
over white silk; ornaments, diamonds.
Miss Ward, white chiffon over silk
trimmings, real lace. Miss Allen, gauze
oyer canary satin; trimmings, gilt,
Miss Topp pink. crepe de chine, pearls.
The orchestra ~discoursed music through
out the evening.
Music, moonlight, flowers fair girls
and gallant men combined in a scene so
lovely, that one almost fancied the far
les ard houris were dancing in ana out
among the guests, lending their en-
chantment to the occasion.
Out on the grassy lawn the swings
were called into play, on the broad gal
lery, many cozy hooks were arranged.
Can you not fancy the picture?
Wonder if the boys didn't wish the girls
would remember it was leap year.

The County Board of Confederate
Pensioners composed of L. A. Mitchell

The County Board Of Confederate
Pensioners composed of L. A. Mitchell
James Boyd. w. F. Sparks, R.. H.
Rogers and Henry Whitehead, was in
session three days this week consider
ing the applications filed with the Clerk
A large number of these applications
were from pensioners already on the
roll but who desire an increase. AS
the law specifies the class of veterans
who are entitled to be placed in the
first and second class, the board were
without discretion in the matter and
were forced to turn down these appli-
cations. While many from infirmary
needed greater aid than they are receiv-
ing from the state, yet, the funds are
not sufficient togiye these more helpless
ones what they actually need. The
board did all they could and regretted
their inability to do more.
