A LIVELY GAME.

Here is a jolly game that may be
played either out doors or in. 1t is
called United States Mail" and there
is no limit to the number of players.
A circle is formed and one chosen
leader gives each player the name of
"a town or city. The leader who is
now called the Postmaster" stands
in the middle and calls the name Of
the mail to be exchanged, and while
the letters are being transmitted from
Boston to New York." the "Postmas-
er'' tries to slip into one or the other
of the places vacated. If he is sue
cessful, Che one who is lost in transit
takes the place of the Postmaster"
and calls two other cities; it is also
permissible to call two more exchang'
es in rapid succession, so that two or
three couples may be changing at the
same time. When the POSTMASTER"
calls General Delivery" every one
changes places. You see this is just
about like our old friend Stage
Coach, only disguised with anothe'
name.

Well Ben w. Hooper and Sam Rat
ling Sells viii run for congress in a
G. o. p. primary for congress in 1916
and the governor will beat the stuffing
out of our cussing congressman. Ben
Hooper will be the first Ex-Governor
to go to congress from our district
and the first ex- republican candidate
for governor to go to congress from
this district since A. A. TAYLOR was
last elected in 1892.
White we have always opposed the
ex-governor, yet we are for him for
congress in 1916, and Gov. Hooper
will be the greatest Congressman we
have had since the Hon. ALI Taylor
retired in 1895 We are for the demo
cratic National and State tickets AMI
Governor Hooper for congress.

We understand that the Sunday
School at Union are going to have
Christ has tree. We hope they have
nice time, however, we don't be
lieve in Christmas trees as they car
be made a great evil, we have even
known The worst toughs in the COM
munity to be in charge of Christmas
trees and call out peoples names. It
is shame to conduct Christmas trees
or anything else in such manner, we
are also opposed to toughs and cut.
Threats being in a church choir or
running a church.
Uncle Nat Buck one of our good old
men is seriously i'll at this writing.
There is a good revival in progress
at Greenwood. Rev. Powell is doing
the preaching and is doing a great
deal of good, however, a lot of toughs
and cut-throats are fighting the meet
ing as they always do in this commun-
ity. When there is good revival go
ing on, there is nothing the devil hates
like good revival so he always puts
his iieutenants to fighting the meet
ings.
We have said that we believed |
Woodrow Wilson would be reelected |
in 1916 and if he is nominated we Will |
support him as we have always done
but our first for president is that
great big Senator from Kentucky Oh |
lie James. He is the biggest man in
the democratic party today and we
don't believe the State of Kentucky is |
big enough to hold him after 1916, he
weighs $40 pounds and is feet and
a half tall and he is as good method
list as he is democrat in politics.

dress party in which the guests were
requested TO come dressed as famous
lovers. Husbands and wives, brothers
and sisters, maids and their favorite

che fun trying to guess who was who.
There were John Alden and Priscilla,
Hiawatha and Minnehaha, Paul and
Virginia, Queen Elizabeth and Essex,

following questions:
Are you fact or fiction?
Are you living or dead? Of left

Did your love lead to marriage?
Either. What prevented?
Or, did you live happy ever after?
What influence had the mans love
on the woman?
What influence had the woman's
love on the man?
what was the most stirring event
of your history?"
The young hostess was dressed in
a becoming evening gown, and her
brptbo, urho oo5od &c Iogt xIae rot

no one could guess, as he wore mas
que AMI black domino. After a lively
time guessing, and Nnen nearly every

stranger was found beside the hostess
and her brother in the following
words broke the news to the merry
lovers:

A correspondent sent me this de-
scription of a "Topsy- Turvy" concert
and | think it must be very amusing
and worthy trying as part Of an even
ing entertainment.
The singers, of whom there should
be seven or eight, stand in a row close
together behind a curtain, allowing
just their heads to show. The curtain
is then stretched across the Rtage or
in front of whatever the exhibition
takes place.
After a verse (from a song with a
swing to it,, or, better still, right in
the middle of verse or line, the heads
all disapper, the song continues and
in a moment all the hands are shown
where the heads were, dressed in all
shapes and sizes o. shoes and slippers
with the gayest of hosiery After few
bars of music the heads reappear.
This must be seen to be appreciated.
1t is all the more funny if some of the
faces are BACKED, some are clowns
and some Irish with. red wigs, etc.

was hustled to the police court where

IN TURKEY
An English Authoress Who Regard,
Ii As a Good Thing.

That polygamy is really a com
mendable institution for Turkey, and
that it might even be adopted witt
profit in England, was the rather
startling declaration recently of Miss
Grace Ellison, well known English
writer, who has just returned from a
p~rotracted visit in and about Con
stantinople.
1T is far better" she said, ito
have four women supported and pro
tected than to have one we'll cared
for and three sent out to struggle and
starYe under present conditions.
Either put us in harems or give Us
freedom and equality with men. Eng
land condemns polygamy without
stopping to consider its advantages
for w~omanhood, while on the other
hand she turns women adrift in the
world and closes to them all the pro.
fessions and trades she can. In other
words, the Englishman won't support
more than one female and he won't
help others TO support themselves.
Only the other day | met a woman
OF 55, the old maid daughter of a
country parson, a semi-invalid, un-
lifted for work. She hadn't a single
