out. The driver and coal HEAVIER did
excellent team work in trying to reach
the pipe, but the bees gave them short
shrift and the men refused to make the
second attempt.
III. A. Swab, a local expert in bee mat
tiers, bore down upon the scene to cap
ture the swarm. He was armed with q
nail keg and two long sticks He sent
his helper to coax the bees into the keg,
but in less than six seconds the assistant
had a score of active bees up his sleeves
and he made dash toward the railway
station. Swab also remembered he had
an important business engagement else
where.
The foreman and members of the Sec
ton crew were next routed, and when
the engineer appealed to Agent Sullivan

conductor of the stalled train suggested
sending for the sheriff. while the stoker
insisted upon calling out the fire brigade.

no solution, as he was nursing a dozen
or more knobs of the size of mature hick-

lowered to the intake on the tender and
the tank filled with bees and water.
While replacing the pipe the fireman
was attacked by a few stragglers and
to protect himself from further onslaught
he tied red bandanna handkerchief
around his head. After raising the spout
he tucked the handkerchief into his pock-
ct and accepted the congratulations of
the onlookers upon his escape, but while
hopping his face a vagrant bee winged
it's way out of the folds of the bandanna
and stung him on the lip.
After the excitement with the bees two
small boys climbed to the roof of the
water tank and with bare hands captured
the queen, placing it In the bottom of
the keg, into which the bees quickly
swarmed. Swab bought the swarm, pre-
senting the boys s1.25 to swell the candy
and lemonade fund, and the incident
closed.
AS it is not likely that the real cause
of delaying the train will be incorporated
in the official report to headquarters, the
foregoing record is made to show what
caused the tie-up on the line.

A delightful surprise party was given

Mobley of Atlanta and Miss Wright OF
Alabama. The living room of this hos

dainty ices and cakes were served
Mrs. Joseph Thompson of Nashville

EARS ON THEIR LEGS.
That Is Where an Ants Grow and He
Has Six of Them.

From the New York Sun. e..
Strange as it may seem an ant has at
least six ears. Aside from their multi
plicity they are located In just about the
aueerest place imaginable-one the legs.
lAey seem deaf to all sounds made by
the vibration of the air. but detect the
slightest possible vibrations of solid ma
terial.
This is supposed to be their advantage,
in that such things as approaching foot
steps tell more of the possibility of dan
ger than such sounds as are transmitted
through the air.
So sensitive are their feet, says St
Nicholas, that they detect the Impact OF
a small birdshot dropped on the table
from height of about six inches ana
about IA feet distant from an artificial
nest placed at the other end of the table.
AS curious as are their ears, their
noses are even more extraordinary. AS
the ants spend most of their time IN the
dark, they must depend largely on scent
for their guidance, and in consequence
have quite an elaborate array OF noses
each for a special purpose.
Miss Adele Fields believes that their
antennae. are composed Of number OF
noses strung along in line. Still mors
strange is that fact that each of these
noses can smell only special thing.
The nose on the tip or first joint OF the
antenna, it Is said, is for recognizing the
odor of the home; the one on the second
Joint is to recognize relatives. The third
nose is the pathfinder, and without 1t the
poor ant cannot follow a trail and soon
gets hopelessly, lost The noses on the
fourth and fifth joints are for recognizing
the eggs and immature ants in the next
No creature is more tidy than an ant
who cannot tolerate the presence of dirt
on her body. These little creatures &C
tially use a number of real toilet articles
in keeping themselves clean. No less an
authority than DR.. McCooll says their
toilet articles consist OF coarse and fne
toothed combs, hair brushes sponges and
even washes and soap. Their saliva Is
their LIQUID soap, and their soft tongues
are their sponges.
Their combs, like their ears. are fas-
tened I'D to their legs. They stop for a
hasty cleanup when they get dirty. But
a more leisurely toilet is made when they
feel in a loafing mood, and they then lend
a helping hand to one another in the
process.

New York, August Especially
Mrs. James II. McVickar broke her
silence today regarding the connection
of her name with the divorce suit
which Mrs Cora l.. Hanson has brought
against Major J. Fletcher Hanson,
president of the Central of Georgia
railroad. "The statements made by
Mrs. Hanson in her petition for divorce
as TO any relations existing between
Ma jor Hanson and myself 9th err than
those of a purely social nature, of
which she was fully aware, and in
which she Joined, are absurd and I'M

State Needs the Money

The state administration is max

stamping warrants mot paid for
want of funds" Last week the
state treasurer drew a sight draft
on County Treasurer Groendycke
for $4,000 of Barber county funds
not due the state until January 1st.
Mr.. Groendycke honored the draft
because the money was on hand,
but it is a straw indicating the
condition of the financial atmos.

1t is an unusual thing for a state
treasurer to draw on county treas

thing, Oh Lordl to keep hidden
from the people the true condition
OF the state treasury.

The Eastern Star and Masonic
orders of this city enjoyed splen-
did social evening in their hall last
Friday. The occasion was joint
installation and the exercises
were followed by nice ''spread"
and social amusements.
Miss Margaret Kernohan had
charge of the exercises and was in
stalling officer for the Stars and w.
R. Forsyth for the Masons, both of
whom are we'll versed in the ritual
istic installation service.
Following these ceremonies, the
members and the guests repaired
to the Knights of Pythias Castle
adjoining the Masonic Temple and
busted themselves in the disposi.
tion of table delicacies, following
which they returned to headquar-
tiers and INDUCED in music and
other amusements. The only cas-
ualty of the evening was an acci-
dent that befell the Hon. James A.
ali OUT ne recovered without any
serious effects.
These orders have established a
custom of banqueting jointly an
nually and there is no dearth of
entertainment at any of them.
This year the program was varied
from that of former years in that
the after dinner speeches were dis
pensed with and the time given
over to music and physical amuse-

M. E. REVIVAL MEETINGS
Will Begin at the Methodist Church
Next Sunday, December 10Th

The evangelist, Rev. Frank H.
Winter is expected to arrive on
Saturday and will preach on Sun
day, both morning and evening.
Morning subject: What is a
true revival of religion? Evening
theme: How can such a revival
be promoted? All christian peo-
pie when at liberty from their own
church services are invited to join
with US in the revival work, and
the public is invited to all the
meetings.
In order to make the revival
success our church must rally as
one man to the help of the pastor
and evangelist. We hope that our
own people will plan to attend the
revival as much as possible, and to
this end it will be necessary to
make sacrifice, practice self denial
and set aside some of our personal
plans of social, business, and fra
ternal nature for the sake of the
church, the revival and the persons
we should try to win for Christ and
the church. There will be many
outside attractions to keep people
away from the revival, and ex-
cuses for not attending will not be
wanting. But if we give ourselves
wholly to the revival Gods bless
ing will be upon the work. The
evangelist, comes to us highly en-.
dorsed and recommended as a good,
earnest and faithful preacher and
singer Of the Gospel. Let us give
him on next Sunday morning a
cordial welcome by a large coDgre-
cation, a hearty hand-shake and a
"God bless you" Let us leave at
home the spirit ofadverse criticism
and bring with us always into the
meetings the spirit of prayer and
faith, believing in the help of the
Holy Spirit without whose aid our
work will be of no avail.
F. w. IMBoDEN,
Pastor.
