 Birthday Parties
 Twenty-Five little tots, the future belles and beaux of Bessemer, assembled at the home of Miss Lula Judson Little to celbrate her sixth birthday. Each one brought his or her token of esteem and spent a happy time playing juvenile games and pinning the >tail to a canvas donkey. Margaret Buchanan won the girls prize, a box of candy, and William Hollingsworth, the boys trophy, a dupli- cate of the first.
 The charming hostess received her guests on the porch, assisted by Misses Florrie Little and Catherine Corniff, and wore a dainty white frock and a huge pink butterfly bow topped her brown tresses.
 The birthday cake in the center of the table bore six candles and the pink and green colors were carried out in the bon bons, ice cream and cake.
 The home of MT. and Mrs. w. H. Porter was the scene of another bevy, of little folks Tuesday when Miss Eva Neal entertained on her fifth birthday Miss Willie J. H. Hollngsworth served punch, and Miss Mamie Simmons received with the young hostess.
 The tables in the dining room were beautifully arranged with tall vases of pink and white carnations scattered among the tempting bonbons and fruit. Plenty of sherbert and cake made feast for the tots and were all enthusiastic in their expressions of ad- miration for the pretty gifts rendered the hostess by her frieds.

Attacked By a Hog.

The Auxvasse Review con-
tanned this item last week:
Mrs. Wallace Holman, who
resides north Of Hatton in Au-
drain county, had a narrow es-
cape from sure death Saturday
last. She started across a lot
to go to the.home of her sister
in-law, Mrs. WI. Offutt, when
an old boar that was in the lot
attacked her, throwing
her down and cutting
an ugly cash in her leg between
the knee and ankle. After a
desperate struggle she regained
her feet and ran to the gate, but
finding it tied she had to climb
the fence to escape the ferocious
beast. She lost her coat in the
battle with the hog. A physi-
clan was called to attend her
and at last accounts she was
getting along nicely.

Fish Tales

June 1 brings JOY to the salt wa
ter fishermen, because during the
month of June the following fish
can be caught along our shores.
Pargies, kingfsh, f1uke, weakfsh,
striped bass, cells, blueish and chan
mel bass, or red drum. June Is also
the finest month for fishing, as it Is
not SO very hot on the water and as
a rule light southeast winds prevail.
Business has increased so much on
the regular fishing banks steamers
that the owners have cut out the lay
off day, and now go out seven days a
week Whiting and ling are biting
best but hake and blacklist, with a
few f1uke thrown in, make up the
most of the catches.
Ben Robinson, of Newark, says
that the ireflies are on the wing at
Morgan's Station and that is a sure
sign that the weakfish are ready to
meet all comes In the bay. He is OF
the opinion that If anyone will fish
at the end of the poundnet stakes on
Sunday they will be rewarded with
some fine fishing, and Ben's opinion
Is generally all right.
