ed, the new lights with gold globes
made hats, flowers and the whole
place brilliant. Mrs. Woodside and
Mrs. Grover Curtis spared no pains in
making things attractive. They we're
untiring in their efforts to please.
Music "a furnished by Miss Irene
Marshall and Mr.. Otto Madlinger
throughout the evening. Punch was
served to each visitor, Miss Anna I'm
boden presiding at the punch bowl,
assisted by Mrs. Gillian. The hats
trimmed by the well known Monsieur
Ora One were greatly admired, but
Mrs. Woodside's own handiwork, the
many creations showing her excellent
taste, was praised far more. Taken
as a whole, the Opening was a grand
success and one of the most novel af-
airs that the ladies of the valley have
ever attended.
A telephone message from Mr.. W.
R. Allen, Jr., at Graniteville, in
forms us that his residence came very
near being destroyed by fire Tuesday
afternoon. In fact, the flames, which
originated from a fue, had gained
such a Roadway before they we're dis
covered, that it was feared the build
was doomed and most of the contents
were moved from the house. By
hard work, however, the fire was ex-
tinguished and no great damage re-
suited.
Hendrix Gallaher of the Edge Hill
neighborhood was in Centerville last
Saturday and among other things in
formed US that old lady Ruth Miner,
living in the vicinity of Goodland,
Iron county, was violently insane and
and that a guard had to be kept over
her all the time. The County Court
of Iron county should look into the
matter and send the poor old woman
to the State Hospital at Pennington,
where she can be treated and more
properly cared for.-Centerville Out

unusual qualifications for the Office he

On Monday afternoon of this weel
the 10th birthday of Mrs. Margaret
Meyer was celebrated by a luncheon
given in her honor by Mrs. A. ]
Meyer of Pilot Knob. Twelve ladie'

the merriment. 1t was as pretty
birthday party as anyone could wis
for; and all regretted when the sun be
