REFUSES INJUNCTION
judge Hutchison Refuses to Restrain
Hilton Bus Line From Using
"hotel Oenison" on Car.

Judge NJ. E. Hutchison.. Of Lake City
was in Denison Saturday holding an
adjourned session OF court, at which
time a few minor matters were dis
posed Of .1. ,.. =
Mr.. John Muir, who conducts the
bus and transfer line, brought injunc-
ton proceedings against the Hilton
bus and transfer line to restrain them
from using the words Hotel Deni-
son. on their busses and this case was
tried before Judge Hutchison. 1t
seems that the Hiltons have painted
on their big auto bus the words Hotel
Denison," and at the depots call out
that they carry passengers to this ho-
tel. The owner Of the Hotel Denison
has not been desirous of having this
bus line carry passengers to and from
the hotel and it was on account of
this feeling that Mr.. Muir started the
injunction proceedings. -..... !
Judge Hutchison decided that the
Hilton bus and transfer line had the
right to use the name of the Hotel
Denison and did not grant the injunc-
ton. as-:A ~

ing quite large group of men who
have good voices. Rev. ]. L. Boyd, OF
the Methodist church, was first called
to extend the greeting of his society
to the new pastor. Rev. Boyd was in
his happiest mood and with many
pleasing stories and "reminiscences he
gave welcome to his fellow minister.
He called attention to the fact that in
past years in some communities 1t
would have been impossible for pastors
and people of the leading religious or.
ganizations to come together In gem
uine fellowship and praise of the good
work done by each separately.
The greetings on behalf OF the
Presbyterian church were extended by
the able and popular pastor, Rev. ]. G.
Tourtellot. He pledged that he and
his people were ready to join hand in
hand with those OF the sister churches
to advance the cause of Christ's king
dom in this community. He had heard
only good words spoken of Rev. Ham

new ones to take their places. For
the boys there are mechanical toys
and contrivances of all kinds, most

ing work and balls and tops and horns
and sleds, all new and shining, to de-
light the little folks on Christmas eve.
In the stores and departments de.
voted especially to the feminine inter
ests the displays were never more
dainty and attractive than they are
this season. Handkerchiefs, gloves
and hosiery are always staple and
make most acceptable gift. Silk
stockings of all grades have been af-
fected by the advance in prices and
stockings for small folks are hard to
secure in all varieties, but the lines
to select from are the best to be had
and the accommodating clerks will
put them in fancy boxes for you, al
ready for gifts. H..
Handkerchiefs were never shown in
so attractive variety and at prices
to suit every purse. Collars, ties and
all sorts of fancy neckwear are also
popular for gifts and show wide
range in price. Gloves, like silk stock
ings, are more expensive this year
than last season on account Of the
war; but nevertheless many are being
sold. ..
While the tendency this year seems
to be towards the less expensive gifts,
still large number of handsome gifts
are being purchas ed, and jewelry, fur
niture, rugs, talking machines, furs,
cut glass and china are all selling
we'll. Silver is always a most ac-
ceptable gift for Christmas and the
jewelry stores are showing many
handsome patterns.
AS the buying of presents for men
is always more or less of a problem
the merchants this year are assisting
the shoppers by making special dis
plays of things adapted to the mascu-
line tastes. Books, leather goods and
all sorts of standard accessories to
the masculine toilet are being shown
attractively boxed for mailing or CIV
ing. OF course the range of selection
is limited as compared with the fem
mime gifts but there is certainly more
chance of pleasing the men folks this
year than there has been for several
seasons. srs-,
In spite of the war quantities of odd
little things are being shown, many OF
which are imported from China and
Japan. Baskets, trays, nut bowls,
and trif1es for the desk
or library table. Some are beautiful
while others are odd, but all command
the attention of the shopper.
There is an especially big line of
Christmas cards and stickers this year
and made up in designs that are new
and novel. Little gifts for mailing,
put up I'M dainty boxes with pretty
cards bearing rhyme or sentiment,
are most attractive.
The light fall Of snow and touch OF
zero weather has added much to the
Christmas buying spirit the. past few

Tomorrow, Friday the 10th, the
1916 Morgan City Flower Show
opens in the City Hall. Friday the
10th and Saturday the 11th-for
two days only-the Flower Show
will be in full blast.
Today, the City Hall is the scene
of great activity and preparation.
Busily the committees, like veritable
bees, buzz from flower to flower and
steadily the green and tinted avail
anch of flowers and ferns and rare
plants are assembled from their con-
fused masses of indiscriminate
groups into classes and varieties in
telligently and artistically arranged
in order that the visitors may en-
Joy them to the fullest degree.
From one end of the city to the
other, cars and carriages and carts,
laden with floral and plant contribu-
tions from many homes, hurried and
scurried with their fragrant burdens
to the City Hall. Committees were
everywhere in response to the hund-
reds of offers of citizens to furnish
some item or the exhibition. This re-
sponse clinches the expectation for a
Flower Show which will be greater
success than any previous displays
attempted in Morgan City.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
RESULTS NOT YET DECIDED
Wilson Has Shade The Best Of The
Reported Situation. Final Outcome
Of Big Election Now Controlled By
Little Word '1f"
office Of CONGRESSMAN FROM Third DISTRICT CLAIMED
BY BOTH CANDIDATES

California, New Hampshire, North
Dakota, New Mexico and Minnesota
hangs the final outcome. Wilson
managers lay positive claim to PSI
electoral votes. Hughes managers
are certain of 243 electoral votes.
IF these figures are truthful, then
Wilson has the edge on the situation
and if he carries California and one
other Of the states mentioned he
will have secured the additional votes
necessary to win. Mr.. Hughes occu-
pies the same nervous position with
the exception that he will need all of
the undecided states except Califor-
MIA, or that he must have California
and two of the other named states.
Wire reports from California are
steady in their statements that Will
son is leading in California. Mid
night messages from the west gave
Wilson a lead in this state Of ten
thousand. 1t appears from later tele-
grams that the country votes turned
in since that hour have reduced Will
sons lead to 45OO.
Telegraphic advices are to the ef-
feet that Hughes is ahead in New
Mexico by the small lead of 250 with
number of precincts to be heard
from.
The Secretary of State has handed
out the statement that Wilson has
carried New Hampshire by 121 votes.
It is his opinion that California is
also safe for Wilson.
Reports from North Dakota gives
Wilson a lead Of about 600 votes.
Minnesota is reported safe in the
Hughes column by 500 majority.
Another factor in deciding the
winner of the presidential election is
said to be the soldier votes on the
border. Several thousand soldiers
