and told that to find their places at
the table they must wind the thread
on the spools. Great merriment was
caused by this unique method as the
threads were cris-crossed and ran
all over the house. Finally the COM
pany were seated at a most beauti-
fully decorated table the color
scheme being their class colors and
enjoyed a most delectabel spread.
General appreciation of the hospital
ity of the Gingles home was express
ed by the class when they broke up
to go holge for the rest of them giht.
The Eastern Star meeting Friday
night was the best attended of any
for some as the word was generally
passed that the entertainment for
the evening was more elaborate than
usual. The mean feature of the en-
tertainment part was a unique meth
cd of arranging a biography of the
people present. Littl books with the
Adu1c VI 6OL1C pCI6OA OA IAC llOAI
were passed to everyone there and
from numerous photo magazine pic
lures representing the various stages
and events of a PERSONS life were
clipped and pasted in the book. Some
very clever histories were thus por-
trayed and a great deal Of amuse-
ment afforded by them. These books
were then collected and scattered to
the seats at the table. and a hunt for
each ones place took place. When
1t was found each person had the
privilege of seeing for himself his
life as seen by others. After supper
music and general conversation took
up the time until an appropriate
hour when the company broke up for
the evening.
Friday evening at Pitts Bros. hall
Leanard Hilligoss entertained a mum
Der of his friends, both girls and
boys. The principal entertainment
enjoyed was dancing. A phonograph
was used to furnish Inspiration for
this popular amusement. Becoming
tired Of this a number of games
were proposed and played with a
great deal Of enjoyment. The COM
pany broke up at II o'clock all think
ing 1t was one Of the most pleasant
of times.
The M. W. Of A. Of Farmer gave
basket social in their hall at Far
mer Friday night which was large
ly attended by Woodmen from this
town. Those who went report a
most enjoyable time. The sales net
ted from the baskets amounted to
about SIS which would speak we'll

Tuesday afternoon a large mum
Der of Woodmen took the afternoon
train for Spencer via Mitchell, where
they helped start a new lodge with an
initial membership of 90. Fully that
many went over from here and with

walk or drive to the polls. although
in some precincts the trip entails a
drive of 10 to 20 miles. BY noon, one
third of the total vote had been cast.
Much delay is caused by the voting
on a constitutional amendment which
appears on separate or blue ballot
that is handed each voter as he steps
up to the polls and must be deposited
by him whether he marks it or not
and it is feared that in some precincts
the polls will close before every vote
is cast. In this part of the terri

there is heavy scratching of individ
uals on the tickets which provide 70
80 to 35 places to be filed, and tn
scratching is done mostly by the pre-
gressive republicans.
