CHARLES, Oct. 20, 1908.

CHAIREs, Oct. 20, 1908.
Mr.. Herbert Cotton has returned
from a visit to his parents at Holly
Springs, N. c., and has moved from
Mays to Tallahassee 70 engage in the
lumber business with his brother-in-
law, Mr.. Upchurch.
Mrs. l. S. Patterson, of Tallahassee,
visited her mother in Chaires several
days last week.
Rev. and Mrs. Mickler are spending
this week at Miecosukie, where Mr..
Mickler is holding a series of services
in the Methodist church. Rev. Mr..
Blackburn, of Madison, assisting him.
Miss Mary Woodbury. visited her pa
rents here from last Friday afternoon
till Sunday morning. Miss Mary is not
only charmed with her vocation as
teacher but also with the people of
Lloyd with whom she is 50 pleasantly
associated.
Under the careful treatment of DR..
Stukes Mrs. ]. S. Fleming is slightly
improved. This remarkable little w0-
man, whose life 80 often has seemed TO
hang IN the balance, Is still vigorous in
mind, keeping up with current events
IN q surprising manner. She IS wsy
past her three score years and ten now
and her family and friends are hoping
she may yet be spared long time.
Mr.. E. G. Smith and Mr.. Perry Boyd
both have important business in the
Capital today.
We noted the presence again Sunday
of Mr.. Thomas Bradley, of Oak Dale.
II is strange sometimes how far some
young men will go to attend Sunday
School and EpwOrth League.
Mr. G. ]. English, Of Tallahassee,
attended services in the Baptist church
here Sunday, being the guest for the
day Of his daughter, Mrs. VIM. High
tower.
The young people here at Mays have
received invitations to a Box Social TO
be given Friday evening at the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Roberts, near Cen
treville. This social is to be for the
benefit Of the parsonage here, and IT Is
truly hoped it will be a success. Mrs.
Roberts is coming to Chaires tomorrow
to meet party coming in on the train,
which will help swell the attendance,
and IL It is not q success It will not be
Mrs. Roberts fault. A crowd will
likely 90 from this place.
Vegetation Is suffering greatly for
rain out here and travelling is rendered
very uncomfortable thereby. II has
been at least six weeks since a good
rain has fallen.
We wondered when we read in the
paper that ''The Devil would appear
In Tallahassee's opera house on the
18th If this would be the frat time Tai
lahasseesns would meet his satanic CD
majesty. And then to think they should
feel delighted at the prospect.
We failed TO receive our Democrats
out here till Monday Whether they
were late coming out or whose fault Il
was we know not. Atany rate we sOrely
missed our paper and hope It will not
occur again.
