Pink and White Shower.

One Of the most pleasant and all
round entertaining entertainments
that our young people have enjoyed,
was the "pink and white shower"
given by Misses Fay Long and Beu-
lah Hubbard at the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. Cal Long last Tuesday after
noon, from two to five O'Clock in the
afternoon, in honor of Miss Prissie
McClannahan, whose marriage will
occur the latter part of this month.
The dining room was beautifully dec
Grated in pink and white, splendid
luncheon consisting of sandwiches,
ice cream, cake, ect., was served and
an altogether good time was enjoyed
by all Many valuable presents were
received in the "shower" that will
not only be useful but will cause the
young lady, in whose honor it was
given, to often think of her friends in
Versailles. About halt past five the
guests left each laay receiving a
"favor" Of small pink and white bas-
ket filled with pink and white candy.
Do you ever have iitsf II not go u
the "Two Franks" and get pair OF
Fi,z" overalls and you will have one
fit at least.
Mr.. Alex. Richie, our orchard
man from the south, was in and says
he will have to pick off part OF his
"Grimes Golden apples as the trees
are too tull. Outside OF peaches
there probably never has been such
fruit prospect as we have here now.
The Grimes Golden is one OF the b st
apples grown in the United Stats
and fruit eaters will be glad to know
we are to have plenty of them.

Hirsch- h-Schaper.

Mr.. Hyal Hirsch, of the Hirch
wholesale Co. and Miss Lille Schap-
per slipped up on their friends after
all and got married last Friday morn
ing at eight-thirty a. m. A lot of US
had figured out date some farther
along than this and while they are
proably more interested in the matter
than anybody else, we don't like to
have our plans broken in on. How
ever we are not going to make any
fuss about it and only offer congrat-
ulations and very best wishes. Miss
Schapper has lived here or close to
Versailles nearly all her life and is
most highly respected and loved by
all those that know her. She has a
host of friends in and about this city
who will, one and all, be glad to know
that she will still remain with US.
Mr.. Hirsch is a Boonville boy, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. Hirsch of that
city, MIR. Hirsch being the wholesale
grocery man of Boonville. A short
time ago when they established a
wholesale house here Mr.. Hyal Hirsch
was placed in charge. He is an in
dustrious, progressive young man and
while he has come here and on short
notice picked up one of our most
popular young ladies', we won't lay it
up against him if he will behave him
self as we'll in the future as he has in
the past.
Last Friday forenoon from nine
to eleven O'Clock Mrs. A. F. Zimmer-
SHE'D gave reception to host of
her friends in honor of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hyal Hirsch whose marriage had just
taken place, Mr.. Hirsch being her
brother. Her home on Washington
street was beautifully decorated and
tor two hours string of guests were
going and coming all the time. A
splendid luncheon was served, beau
tiful piano and violin music was rem
dered and the reception was one great
big round success. We cannot begin
to give the all the names of those
present, without getting out suppli-
ment.

n EsHEIN6 FIRE ALARM
Blaze Found In Coal in Public
School

Last Monday morning about 4
O'Clock when Caretaker Bert
Warsham reached the public
school building in this city he
thought he smelled smoke and
made a thorough investigation
Of the entire building. Not dis
covering the fire he proceeded
with his duties but he again de-
tected the odor Of smoke more
strongly and began the rounds
again to discover what was
wrong. Entering the basement
and going to the neighborhood
Of the coal bunker he found that
about 1000 bushels Of coal which
had been placed in the bunker In
the last few weeks was on q fire.
He sounded the alarm, notifying
the superintendent, ]. w. Taylor
and all Of the directors he could
reach who responded at once and
the work Of getting the coal out
/. of the bunker was rapidly push
ed.
Spontaneous combustion is the
only theory, and Il Is reasonable.
considering that the coal was
put in during the very hot
weather and some Of It damp.
To Caretaker, Warsham,
Superintendent Taylor, directors
Blair Miller. G. N. Elliott, J. L.
Cropper and a number Of others
great credit is due for their
heoric efforts in abating the fire.
This incident leads US TO re-
mark that no extinguisher Of
any kind has been provided for
the building and the water
supply Is totally inadequate In
case the fire got started. How
ever before the fire was ex-
tingaished the directors present
ordered and procured q half
dozen hand-grenade fire ex-
tinguisherr and had them placed
about the building. They are
mighty good as far as they 20
and one Of them goes far enough
TO stop any ordinary fire.

These women are none of them
rich. They own no real estate,
most of them work for a living
and the taxes they refuse to pay
are personal taxes.
For two years the male officials
of Chicago looked unhappy when
ever these personal taxes were
mentioned. but no effort was made
to collect.
Inspired by their success, the
women have launched a campaign
to get 1000 members. Il is now
on in full swing. The renewed
agitation has served to stir up tar
collections and county attorneys
and more in anger than sorrow
the officials are threatening to dc
