is scheduled for another experiment
tai ascension on Tuesday. November
Sd.
This machine has made several
previous ascensions and will meet
with the same disaster on the ides of
November that has been its fate in
times past. The ticket is probably
as good as the timber available
within the boundaries Of the county
would permit. and from democratic
standpoint it will win. of course. 1t
has been ever thus from time i'm
memorial before election, and we
hope they will keep on winning in
the same old way until the end OF
time. Several of the candidates
have had experience in previous
ascensions in this county. and are
therefore more or less familiar with
the dull, sickening thud sensation
that awaits them on the morning
after the night of election.

Ada's Naughty Eiaht.

The graduating class OF Ada's
high school, composed of eight girls
who boast the rather odd title, The
Naughty Eight" held a hen party at
the Hotel Byrd Wednesday night.
Refreshments were prepared on the
chafing dish by the girls themselves
and served, and We're fine demon
stration of their abilities to do more
than solve problems and read Cea-
sar.
They danced the Old Virginia
reel, sang everything IN the book
from The Old Hundred to school
Days" and otherwise maintained the
reputation of hen parties in general
for being the source or a royal good
time.
At a late hour the ladies discov-
cred that none of the necessary
evil' was present, and took advant-
age of their leap year rights to
procure for themselves protection
from the dark for their journey
home.
After all their celebrations they
finished up with a lot of lingo like
this:
"Rickety, rickety, rake,
We're the naughty eight;
