very sociably entertained the Sunday
School class of which she is a mem
Der, at her home on Willis street.
No new business was brought be-

of our teacher, Miss Sallie Z. Lang,
due to illness, but it was decided by
the majority of those present to dis
continue the meetings during the
GUNNER months.
Towards the close of the evening
our hostess served refreshments at
ter which the guests of honor de-
parted one and all thanking Mrs.
Merrick for the kindness and hospi-
tality shown by her in behalf of each
and every member of the class.

Home Of ". M. Hdte
 Destroyed by Fire

At nine o'clock this morning the residence of w. M. Hale, formerly known. as the Al Starratt home, in Southeast Marianna, was de- stroyed by fire. The building was valued at $4,000 and was insured for $2,40O. Though the fire had gained considerable headway before the department reached the con flagration, the firemen managed to save nearly all the household eff fleets. They are valued at approx imately $500 and MT. Hale carried insurance on them to the amount of $1,000. The residence of A. l.. Herder, located next to the Hale home, was damaged to the extent of about $250. This loss is covered by insurance. The fire is supposed to have originated from a defec- tive flue in the living room. All the members of the family were away from home when the fire started. The fire department was greatly handicapped in it's work be- cause the closest fire plug was fiji teen hundred feet from the Hale home. Ewing McClintock sustained several painful burns while remov- ing furniture from the Hale home.
 This is the fourth time MT. and Mrs. Hale have sustained losses in fire.

Goose Hunting Good
 On the MiSsiSSiDDi

Half score of Marianna him. rods went to the sandbars on the Mississippi river near Whitehall the first of the week to shoot geese on the opening day of the season, Mon- day. Most of the hunters returned Tuesday bringing fairly good bags of game. They reported great num- bers of geese on the bars, but said there were too many hunters after the game. Several parties from Memphis went to the bars on Sat urday and had selected the choicest locations for their pits. Parties from other sections were also there to indulge in the sport. But in spite of the fact that there were too many nimrods on the bars, nearly all of them secured bags ranging from one to nine geese. J. O. Payne, one of the best all round hunters in the county, took his lit tie son, Oliver, with him. Oliver is twelve or thirteen years of age and is thoroughbred sport-just like his dad. The boy used a twenty gauge gun and killed two fine geese with the weapon. This feat alone, MT. Payne said, fully re- paid him for the trip. Of course J. o. got big bag of geese. It is fixed habit with him to bring back meat.
 On Wednesday of next week open season for killing deer and turkeys will begin, and on Saturday, No vember 20, the open season for killing quail will be here.
