Reception to Miss King.

Last Friday evening Miss Sadie M.
King was given an informal reception
in the vestries of Grace M. E. Church.
Indeed it was so informal, that until
Miss King was informed late in the
evening, she did not know that the
social, which was given under the aus
pices of the Epworth League, was being
held in her honor.
The program, aside from refresh
ments, consisted chiefly in singing col
lege songs and kindred classics, "Solo-
mon Levi" and "Clementine" being
called for by one of the more seriously
minded of the auditors. The work of
the musicians was so uniformly good
that it would seem unjust to make
special mention of any, although the
vocal and other gymnastics of certain
bass were especially noteworthy.
Miss King was given Shakespeare
birthday book, containing the names OF
the guests, and on reaching home found
that her friends had left for her &
photo of the Delta Alpha S. S. Glass, 8
framed picture of the island painted il
water colors by Miss Steele, and ter
dollar bill, with few written words il
lieu of a presentation speech.
Miss King, who intends soon to leav'
town, will be greatly missed in the com
munity, and especially in the Church
where she has been most faithful ant
efficient worker.

NO BETTER MEN,

No better men were ever nominated

the Democratic ticket 70 be voted for
on the Sth of next month. They de-
serve TO be elected unanimously
Why? Because every one of them is
an honest. intelligent, capable man.
who will justly and rightly represent
the people, and all the people. and all
the peoples interests of this city and
county. 1t makes no difference what
your politics has been, or what it
$ now. Honesty and decency and
patriotic duty in public office are
worth more TO our people ard our
homes than the name OF any political
party. The rank and file, the back
bone of the nation is voting for good
men this year in every state, from
Maine to California, and thus the
ringsters and bosses are being thrown
overheard TO repent at their leisure.
See what has been done and is be-
ing done i'll other states for good gov
eminent. Shall West Virginia lag?
Shall we continue to put men in office
to represent us only to betray us for
thirty pieces of silver, or less?
Shall our state be the only one that
cannot reform itself? Shall our rule
continue by the bosses or by the peo-
pie. Hughes, Baker and Hawley have
promised before and have failed, utter
ly failed. Are either of them any bet
ter now than they were? Their rec
ord is made. They can't unmake it
with promises now to catch votes.
