church. DR.. Watson has just finish

To Our Subscribers.


There are still large number of
our subscribers who are in arrears.
We wish to request every subscriber
whose subscription has expired or
will expire by the first of the year to
send us remittance before January
first. It is absolutely necessary that
we bring our lists up to date, and as
much as we would dislike to part
company with any of our readers, we
will be compelled to stop their pa
pers unless their subscriptions are
paid. It is not matter of any doubt
about our subscribers being good
pay; we simply have not the capital
with which to extend credit, so please
send US a check by or before the first
of the year, so that we can start the
new year right.

Negro Child Shot by Brother.

Last Thursday Emma Johnson,
colored, four years old, was accident
ally shot by Sam Johnson, her broth
er, eleven years old, and instantly
killed, on the plantation of Joe Lam
caster, near Govan. The coroner
went to the scene of the accident on
Friday, and after inquiring into the
circumstances of the affair, decided
that an inquest was unnecessary. The
boy is described by the coroner as be-
ing an absolute idiot, and it seems
that the killing was entirely acci-
dental. The child was killed by the
discharge of shot gun, the load
taking effect in her stomach.

Shower for Miss Ritter.

On Tuesday afternoon, December
9Th, from three to five, Mrs. W. H.
Ritter gave a hose shower for Miss
Study Ritter, bride-elect.
The pretty country home on this
occasion presented fairy scene. The
color scheme of green and red was
carried out with good effect. The
entire lower floor was thrown open
and on each hearth CHEEKY fire
burned; that with the soft shaded
lights added to the beauty of the
scene as we'll as the comfort of the
guests on this chilly afternoon.
The most noticeable feature on this
occasion was the absence of all for
mality. Mrs. Ritter succeeded in
making everyone present feel perfect
ly at home and the first half hour
was spent in making toasts, giving
advice and good wishes to the bride
to-be. Punch was served in the hall
by Mrs. Ernest Ritter, and as the
bowl was large and semed to be on
the fountain order, no one minded
''lingering long, or drinking
Deep
A seat in a pretty corner of the
parlor was reserved for Miss Ritter
This was banked with ferns and
draped in vines and bunting. AS
soon as she was seated, little Gwen
dolyn/ Jenny stepped forward and
pulled the ribbons hanging from
huge basket of American beauty
roses which emptied its contents at
her feet. After the many pretty
gifts had been admired by all salad
course was served.
Just before leaving Mrs. Sam
COPELAND, of Ehrhardt, was present.
ed the prize for having given the
best toast to the bride-eiect. Inls
she presented to Miss Ritter.
Mrs. Ritter was assisted in her du-
ties as hostess by Miss Cressle bree-
land and Mrs. G. E. Ritter. Ihere
we're about 25 guests present.
