ELkS BALL 4 GRAND
 SUCCESS
Talk about a time.

Talk about a time.
 Never since Nome sprouted like mushroom from the shore of Behring Sea has it ever witnessed such glori- ous sport as that enjoyed last night by those who had been born under the planets that made an invitation to the Elks' ball possible
 old A. E. hall was crowded to the the feet skinned over that perfect floor to that perfect music with the perfect ease that comes of perfect con- ditions.
 When those crowds of couples tore themselves away this morning to pre- pare for breakfast there was only one regret. and that arose from the miser- able knowledge that the tenth day of January comes only once in a year
 But the memory of it will last and cast halo around the hosts of the day until the time comes for q renewal of that celestial head gear.
 Nome is certainly Eratefu today for the splendid hospitality of the Elks. They thought nothing too good for their guests, and their guests think nothing too good for the Elks Every thing was done in princely fashion, Not a detail was overlooked, and the question of expense was ignored.
 From the parade to the afternoon en- tertainment and to the end of the ball the Elks did nothing but smash every record that ever existed in the city.
 Dispatches were received during the evening and read by President John s. Coply from brother Elks of Candle and Teller.
 One was signed by Judge $. C. Hen ton, Teller, who expressed his regrets at being unable to attend and his in- tention to drink to his brothers. all though absent.
 The following was the message from Candle:

An EXPLANATION or Correction (?)

Our attention has been called by
both Mr.. Heidelberg, the Secretary
who prepared the copy. and by j.
M. Fountain to a slight misleading
reading with reference to Fountains
running in the Democratic eau
Gus held recently at the Courthouse
to nominate a Municipal ticket
The proceedings printed by this
paper over the signature of the
Secty. and Chrmn., read that
E. w. Breland and j. M. Foun-
tain were nominated and ballot
taken upon these two gentlemen,
Breland was declared the nominee "
Fountain says he did not receive a
second when his name was placed
in nomination and hence that his
name was not voted on when the
ballot was being taken Heidelberg
agrees for us to write it down that
Fountains contention is more prob
ably a real correct statement of the
status under which the election of
marshall was pulled off. The HER
AID does not know under whose
code of parliamentary law, the
meeting was held as we were alb
SEN but the best parliamentar-
ians hold. that a second is not nee
essary to a nomination as in case
of motion and that more than
one second is permissible if second
ing is cared to be INDUCED in.

nearly all of this is virgin timbered.
They are the largest taxpayers in
Greene county if not in all South
Mississippi for in numbers of other
of the counties in the pine belt.

revenue passing into his hands,
Shift Dan Breland, is able to an
nounce the situation relieved as to

statewarrant of County Treasurer
Mcleod, and made arrangements at
the bank to pay all the various pen
sioner warrants. Dan will use this
warrant in his monthly settle
ment with the state treasurer.
