DELIGHTFUL ENTERTAINMENT

The Board of Stewards and trus-
tees of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, together with their
wives, were entertained by Rev. and
Mrs. Robert Al, Clark at the parson-
age Thursday night in most de-
lightful and informal manner.
The parlors were effectively dec
GRATED for the occasion, in holly, mis-
tletoe and ferns. At the appointed
hour the guests began to arrive, and
in the space Of d very short time the
parIors were filled almost to over
flowing. All the members of the
Board of Stewards and Trustees and
their wives, with two or three excep-
tions were present.
After short period of converse
ton, walters were passed by Miss
Mary Charlotte and Master Oliver
Clark, upon which were slips OF pa
per with passages Of scripture writ
ten thereon, each one having been
clipped in two, half being placed on
one waiter for the ladies, and half
on the other for the gentlemen. Al
ter receiving the slips OF paper the
guests had merry time matching
them thereby securing their partners
for the contests which followed. Each
quest was then given sheet OF pa
per upon which were lines written
In puzzle form, the answers of which
were the names of the different blsh-
OBS Of the M. E. Church, South, from
the, foundation Of the church to the
nresent time. This proved quite in
teresting. After other contests Rev.
Clark called for toasts. The first
to respond was Rev. T. L. Hancock,
who in his very able and attractive
manner, gave toast to The
Church" next came Mr.. H. R. Rose,
who smoke of "The Relation OF Our
Church to the Methodism of the
County" The Relation of Our Church
to he Young People" was given by
Mr.. Mark Sherrod. Mr.. j. L. Rich
ardson then gave atoast to our
Women" which was responded to by
Mrs. N. G. Brown in her usual
charming manner. Mr.. J. X. Peete,
accompanied by Mrs. N. G. Brown
at the piano, rendered an old-time Sc
lection on the violin, which helped to
make the evening more enjoyable
An ice course. consisting of block ice
cream and delicious individual cakes
was served.
Rev. Clark sustained his reputation
of being a man Of adaptability and
proved d most genial host, and Mrs.
Clark a charming hostess.

FOUR THOUSAND PERISH
IN HALIFAX EXPLOSION

Halifax, December 8.-Four thou
sand persans were killed in the burn
ing and destruction of buildings re-
sulting from the explosion of NUM-
lions ship in the harbor Thursday,
according to estimates tonight by Of
ficials. This estimate, higher than
any heretofore, was made after a
survey of the devastated district of
Richmond, where acres of debris
probably will not be cleared away for
month.
The casualties in the wellington
street barracks, announced tonight,
were:
Killed, s; missing and presumably
dead, 81; badly wounded, 14I; slight
ly wounded, SO; unaccounted for IA;
total, 314.
The outstanding fact that has been
faced by the local authorities with
courage that challenges the admira-
ton Of their kinsmen from south Of
the border is that 10000 people are
destitute, and of the number perhaps
one out of seven is suffering from
injuries which in many cases, are
bound to prove fatal.
Tonight the work Of organizing
the various relief units into work.
able whole with a general direction
that would avoid duplication of eff
fort and tend to the greatest effici-
ency was well under way.
Federal, provincial and Red Cross
aid supplemented by volunteer units
from other cities and the United
States, were being utilized to the best
advantage.

TO RELIEVE CONGESTION

Washington, December 5. - At the
request of the Railroads War Board
France, Italy, England and Russia
have centralized their requests fol-
embargo modification permits with
the traffice executive at 165 Broad
way, New York City. This step has
been taken to relieve the various rail-
way embargo officers from the need-
less congestion resulting from taous-
ands of requests for modif alton
permits, the majority of which are
Implications.
From now on when permits arr &c
sired for traffic consigned to Comp
troller Johannet, for account of the
French government, Gen. Tozzi, for
account of the Italian government,
Connop Gutherie, for account of the
British government or C. G. Medal
khovsky, for account Of the Russian
government, the application will lie
made direct to the traffic executive,
who in turn through the embargo
permit department will make applica-
ton to the railroad company. This
means that the railroad no longer will
be burdened with thousands Of dupli-
Gated requests, but will receive only
one request on each shipment from the
traffic executive.
It is expected thai this centraliza
ton viii not only increase the effici-
ency of the various railroad embargo
offices, but will tend to relieve to q
great extent the already owe bur
dened railroad and commercial tele-
graph systems.

bers of the supreme court and the

siness of the body was performed
with promptness and the fight that
had been forecasted for the various
candidates did not develop. All the
fiYe nominees for the supreme court
were chosen by reclamation, The
ticket is as follows:

BASKET BALL

The weather man interfered with
the big basket ball game that was
arranged for Friday NIGHT, and as a
result only one Of the expected Wis
fling team was on hand for the game.
Rather than to disappoint the loval
few who dared to venture out in the
face Of a blindino snow-storm the
town girls kindly consented to take
the place Of the Ripley girls who
failed to appear. The game between
these two home teams was very in
teresting, but the high school lassles
took the big end of the score. Thir-
teen to six was the final count.
The boys found Arlington a little
too strong for them, and in spite Of
the 38 points piled up BIZ the home
lads the visitors with two good for
wards and a sky-scraping center
wound I'D the game with 81 points to
their credit. Although it was not a
tame affair at all. the contest was
not unusually rough and the home
boys and spectators as well were well
pleased with the gentlemanlv manner
IN which the Arlington boys conduct-
ed themselves. The first half was e
whittle-to-cut affair in which it would
have been hard to guess the winners,
but the second half gave the visitors
a chance to uncork some new PLAYS
which were too much for our guards.
Both the boys and girls teams
from Alamo high school are expected
here next Friday night, but the bad
weather may prevent their coming.

RED CROSS SALE

On Thursday and Friday, December
20 and 81, there will be held a sale
at Red Cross headquarters tofwhieh
all the people of Covington and VII
cinity are invited. The affair will be
in the nature of a miscellaneous
shower. Fancy work. groceries, cakes,
candies and articles Of various kinds
will be sold. Every member of the
Red Cross and every patriotic per-
son is asked to make some donation
to this worthy cause. Anything that
is saleable will be gladly accepted
dressed chickens, butter, pork sau-
sage, eggs, Christmas cakes, cam
dies or fancy articles. The mer-
chants, both in dry goods and grocery
lines, who always respond so nobly to
any worthy cause, are asked to make
some contribution to tie sale. Let
this be a whole-hearted community
affair and the "bits" added together
will amount to something substantial
for the Red Cross fund.
Last week a number of generous
hearted men installed an up-to-date
heater in the sewing rooms, and this
kindly deed is appreciated in this
wintry weather more than words can
express. Such kindness and thought
fitness is characteristic of the best
men of Covington.
Zero weather doesn't daunt the
courage Of our noble women. Some
of our most faithful are found every
day at headquarters busily attend
ing to their appointed duties.
Join the Red Cross. Ten thousand
new members are wanted by Christ
mas. All you need is heart and a
dollar.

A SPLENDID CHRISTIAN
CHARACTER PASSES AWAY

Mrs. Meckie billiard died at the
home Of her sister-in-law, Mrs. Vir-
ginia Poindexter, in the vicinity Of
Clopton, at o'clock Sunday night
and was buried at Clopton graveyard
at 3 o'clock Monday, the funeral serv-
ices being conducted by Rev. R. A.
Wood pastor of the church there.
Mrs. Hilliard was a daughter of
the late Raleigh Poindexter, of Fay
cite county, and a great portion of
her life was spent there, but num-
Der of years were spent in Covington
in the home of her brother, the late
Lewis Poindexter.
She had been a sufferer from rheu-
matism for a number of years, and
some years ago sustained fracture
of the hip, from the effects of which
mishap she had never recovered. For
several months she had been constant
ly confined to her bed under the care
Of her loving niece, Miss Vivian Poin-
dexter, but she bore her sufferings
patiently and with fortitude, though
80 years of age at the time Of her
death.
Mrs. billiard was the widow Of
the late James billiard and was left
a widow during the Civil war. Two
daughters grew to womanhood and
passed away, and she leaves no mem
bers Of her immediate family surviv-
ing her. She was a faithful member
Of the Methodist church for the great
er part Of her life, and was a splendid
Christian character-one whose life
was an inspiration to others.
