SAINT Occasion.

SAINT UCC0S1OMs
A most enjoyable social event
occurred Thursday evening when
Miss Lizzie Whitfield enter
tanned at a box party" at her
home On Main street. The invi-
tations we're neatly gotten mp in
little boxes and those who were
fortunate enough to receive them
INDUCED in much speculation as
20 what the feature of the even
i 6 would be.
Shortly after the arrival of the
guests little Misses Annie Neil
Fuller and Georgia Whitfihld dis.
tribHted hearts and keys, giving
each lady a dainty paper heart
which was pierced in a way to
bear mute but eloquenttestimony
TO the fact that some key among
those distributed to the gentle,
men would unlock it's treasures.
. 1t was the pleasant task Of each
gentleman to find the heart that
would open to the key that had
. been given him, and when each.
gentleman had found the heart
for which his key yearned, seal.
ed paper boxes, with pencils and
paper attached, were given to all.
The next step in this interesting
game was the exchanged boxes
by each couple and the writing
of a note of thanks, before the
boxes we're opened, for what had
been received. In this note Of
thanks you were called upon to
be definite and specify what you
supposed was contained in the
still unopened box in your hand,
and each one wrote according to
what she or be imagined
her on his-Drat the proDounsI
box contained. You see, the
notes were the product of imagi-
nation and whatever degree Of
the gift of expression the writer's
could master on the spur OF the
moment, so the reading Of the
notes, which fell to the lot of Mr.
Woodberry Lennon, occasionee
much merriment. A COMMITTEES
composed of Misses Lizzie anc
Virginia Whitfield and Mr.. W. K

notes to carefully compare ant

ry Pilman,o of WiSharts township,

Was tried before Justice Jno. A
Rowland Thursday. Messrs. Nc
Lean & Mclean representing
the State, the defense being rep
resented by ex Judge T. A Nc
Ntilland Mr.. e. M. Britt. Much To-
Cal interest has been manifest. d
in the case and it is important on
account of the question in regard
to the stock law involved.
II will be recalled that a bill,
introduced by Mr. E. J. Britt,
was passed by the Legislature in
1903 giving the county com mis-
sioners power to allow any SEC
ton Of the county, upon petition,
tO fence itself off and to do away
with the stock law in the section
so cut of. Several townships,
Wisharts among them, petitioned
for this privilege, which was
given them, and they built fences
cutting themselves off. It will
oe further recalled that in 1907
this law was repealed.
1t was alleged in the com plant
that Mr.. Pitman has been allow.
lowing his stock to run at large
as others have been doing, and
that they have been grazing up
on the lands of the Buffers Lnm,
bar Go. Justice Rowland decid

In justice to the fire depart
