All Last Week.

All last week the Littlejohn Carnival
Company, under the auspices of the local
lodge knights of Pythias, presented one
of the cleanest and best series of attrac-
tions eyer given by any carnival COM
pany exhibiting in our city The old
Pioneer Ball Park was the scene of these
highly entertaining activities. the wealth
er was ideal, and hundreds of our lead
ing citizens visited the place of amuse-
ment during the week. The shows were
all high-claSs. There were no vulgar or
immoral shows so common with most
carnival companies; the concessions were
all conducted by people of honesty and
integrity, and each and all conducted
themselves as ladies and gentlemen
should while in our midst. 1t is the
established policy of Col. Little john, so
we are reliably informed. to get rid Of
any person who is not strictly on the
square. the moment he detects such an
one. We have heard hundreds of com
ments among our people. We have
heard only words of fulsome praise and
not one word of criticism. Our boys
the Knights of Pythias and Col. John P.
Littlejohn deserve much praise for the
splendid manner in which the carnival
was conducted. Everything was pitched
upon high plane, and this article is
written from our own initiatives; we do
it voluntary and gladly, giving credit to
whom credit is due. We take great
pleasure in commencing the Littlejohn
Carnival Company to the good peple OF
our neighboring cities. as clean and
moral amusement concern well
worthy of their patronage. This week
the company is exhibiting in Paris and
next week they will be in Carlisle. We
wish them success.

In Honor of Mrs. HANGER.

A dispatch from New York says,
Mrs. Harry B Hanger, of Richmond,
KY, who is spending some time in New
York, has been the recipient of much
social attention during the past several
weeks, and is becoming one of the most
popular Southern matrons who visit
New y ork. Recently she attended the
meeting of the Southland, an organiza-
tion of Southern women, and received
much applause when she sang solo for
the one hundred or more guests assem-
bled. Last week Mrs. Hanger was a
guest at the white Breakfast" of the
Rubinstein Club, the largest musical or
ganization of women in the country, at
the Waldorf Astoria. Mrs. Hanger was

BURGLARS at Work.

Last Friday night burglar or burg
lars entered the residence of Mr.. E. Ii.
Bybee, on Z. Main street, and made a
rather successful haul. They went thro'
almost the entire house and succeeded in
finding in the dining-room, in drawer,
So or SO, which belonged TO Mr.. Bybee.
They also succeeded in getting like
amount from his son Harry. After TAX
ing this sum from his pocket-book they
slipped it back into his pocket, overlook
ing S35 which was in the same purse.
Many other articles OF smaller value
were taken.
On the same night burglars, supposed
to have been the same gang, ransacked
the home of Mr.. T. c. Vaughn, on Broad
way, but failed to obtain money. They
carried the pantaloons of Mr.. Vaughn
and his son down stairs and took the
small amount each fortunately hap
pened to be carrying-about 30 cents
apiece.
One night last week, between and
O'Clock, burglars entered the residence
of Mr.. w. p. Baxter, on Main street and
and after turning the dresser drawers
topsy turvey and making other searcl
for valuables. they decamped.

Accompaniment Appreciated.

A delicate compliment, entirely spon-
taneous, was shown Hon j. Tevis Cobb
one day last week during the session of
circuit court. Mr.. Cobb, on account of
i'll health, has taken little part in court
proceedings for many months. : Having
some important business in court he en-
tered tho room quietly and upon his APP
pearance, there was an outburst of ap-
plause from his fellow practitioners and
members of the court, all joining in most
heartily. Nothing of the kind had ever
been planned. and coming as it did as a
heartfelt mark of esteem. it was greatly
appreciated. The seed fell upon good
ground and into heart appreciative of
the delicate compliment.
