For Twelfth Night.

The first special day chronicled for
the glad new years month is
Twelfth Might" which comes on the
sixth In olden days the celebration
Of Christmas lasted until this date. or.
as it was called, 'told Christmas"
when the Lord of Misrule," whose
reign began on Christmas eve. ended
with the burning of all the Christmas
green's. This was done to propitiate
the evil spirits, who might otherwise
modest the household. This will give
the alert hostess the keynote for an
impromptu party
What an opportunity for an oyster
supper after the bonfire, with piping
hot cheese sandwiches made in a
chatting dish, There must be "mys-
terry" cake. too According to tradi-
ton, it should contain two beans. The
ones getting these symbols of favor
are to be crowned king and queen and
for the remainder of the evening
their word is law.
The hostess has an ideal chance in
this to plan a series of delightful sur
prises to be carried out for the will
ing subjects One good stunt is to
command certain couples (congenial,
of course, that goes without saying)
to discuss great and weighty subjects,
such as, "Should Woman Propose?"
How Much Pin Money Should a
Wife Have?" IAN Ideal Way to Spend
a Honeymoon" etc. In 10 minutes a
report is to be made to the royal pair,
who in the interim from affairs of
state will manage to have an enjoy
able tete-a-tete themselves. If a bon
fire in the open is not practical, let us
hope there will at least be a crate
available for the burning of the
green's. A rule is that each person
| makes wish while his or her armful
is being consumed. This gives an ex-
cellent opportunity for a stunt party,
each one being requested to do some
thing-sing a song, tell story or in
some way contribute a part of the
evenings fun. Nowadays the accept
able guest is the person with some
specially, and just at present the art
| of telling stories well is an accom-
plishment worthy of cultivation.

MRS. J. W. ENGLISH DEAD.

Mrs. J. W. English, wife of Judge
English, late of the Supreme bench
is dead. Just at the time of going to
press the word few over our town as
on the wings of the wind. Wherever
it touched it left sorrow, and the
expressions of sympathy for the be-
reaved ones were many and from the
heart.
She had been i'll for the past two
weeks, but it was not thought that
she was in a critical condition until
last night. All the children, how
ever, had been notified and were
present when she passed away.
She was a lifelong member of the
Episcopal church and will be greatly
missed by the pastor and congre-
CATION of that church as she was al
ways foremost in any church WORK
She is survived by besides a fond
and loving husband, the following
children: Lew of HuntiE gtOn, De-
John of Bramwell, Mrs. Ed Rect
enwald, of Charleston, and Mrs. DR..
L. F. Guthrie, of Huntington.
The funeral will be held from the
Episcopal church, tomorrow after
noon at 2 700 o'clock, Rev. Davidsu1

COUNCIL VOTED
TO GRANT TRIRTY.TRO SALOON uCEN,
SES AT CHARLESTON.

At the meeting of the Charleston
City Council Saturday night twenty
seven licenses to retail spirituOus
liquors were granted and FIVE whole
sale licenses, the vote on the question
of the permits standing 81 for. l6
against and three absent or not
voting.
Grant Hall and Judge Shepherd,
of the county court, were Saturday
night, heard to say that if the city
council voted to grant the license per-
mits, the court would grant licenses,
when the applications come to that
body. One license was refused; this
being to J. p. Clark, who applied
for license to ,'-Il whisky outside
of the district bounded b. an Ordin-
ance passed by tue city council in
1906.
Councilman Raw was absent when
the roll was called at $50 o'clock
but came in later. Before the per-
mits were presented to the council
Cor action upon them. Mr.. Stephen
son moved that the council allow
persons who were present TO address
the council before the matter of the
license permits was taken up. DR..
Robins amended this motion by
moving that no permission be granted
as the question had been thoroughly
discussed by persons other than the
councilmen at previous adjourned
meeting. This amendment carried
and the permits were than taken up.
There was little or no argument
about the permits between the wet
and dry factions, the separate vote
on each permit being taken with
clock like monotony.

ATTENDED GAME AT MONTGOMERY.

a crowd of thirty or more attend
ed the ball game, at Montgomery,
Sunday, and saw our boys give the
Montgomery team a good drubbing.
They left here on the excursion train
early Sunday morning, going to
Charleston and from there on the
regular train to Piatt, a small station
opposite Marmet, where the game
was played. The trip was an enjoy
able one barring one small accident,
in which the ferryman fell into the
river (some say that he was pushed
in) to the great amusement of all.
The local team was too much for the
Montgomery bunch, playing all
around them. Brown and Mullen
camp both hit the ball over the fence,
for home runs, The score was FIVE
to three in our favor.

UNDER $4,000 BOND.

Bill caine is under arrest, charged
with assault with intent to kill, which
will probably be changed to murder.
Last Friday he threw rock striking
Geo. Shin back of the left temple,
fracturing his skull from which the
doctor says he cannot recover. The
affair happened on Thirteen Mile
Creek, near Rock Castle, just over
the line in Jackson county. 1t is
said the parties had had trouble on
several other occasions and the bad
feeling was what led up to the attack.
Caine was arrested Monday night
late Just as he was getting ready to
leave the country, by officer ]. F.
Carney, of Ripley, on the exact spot
where the crime was committed. He
was placed under ten thousand doll
ars bond awaiting developments in
the case and will have his pelimin-
mary hearing on Saturday, May eS.

ROUTE NOT CHOSEN.

In recent issue of the Manufac-
turers' Record, there appears an in
mans successor in the railroad world
in which he says the c. & o. will
build a connecting line with the
Hooking Valley, but he doesn't state
that the line will be across the Ohio
river at Portsmouth, as the Times of
that city recently asserted.
Mr.. Hawley stated that the route
has not in realty, been definitely set
lied nor will it be until all engineers
reports are in. 1t is very probable
that the Huntington-Wellston route
will be adopted, that presenting the
bes grade for crossing the Ohio and
the best grade through to Symmes
