\ LOOK FORWARD TO EVENT

"The annual Christmas entertainment for the Confederate Veterans is an event the ladies' auxiliary of the camp look forward to with great pleasure" said Mrs. H. L. Bumstead after the dinner at the Elks' home Wednesday which was attended by over 40 Confederate veterans.
 "It will not be many years until the num- Der will have dwindled down to very few, so we try to make each year just as enjoyable as we can. If every one present today could be back next year it would be our fondest wish."

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
QUICKER COUNT

Holding of elections in Jefferson county will be greatly facilitated when the new redistrict- ing of the county goes into effect" stated M E. Morris, chairman of the Jefferson county board of registrars, yesterday.
 By the creation of large number of new precincts in the county the strain on the big boxes will be removed and not only will there be less congestion in the handling of voters during the last hours when interest in the cleo tion is intense as is the case in many of the primaries where races for this and that office are close, but the actual count of the vote after the polls closed will be greatly aided. This will result in quicked count being made be- cause of the fewer number of ballots to handle, and will enable election results to be known definitely much more quickly than at present.
 "The special election to be held January 30 on the state road bond issue and the soldiers poll tax exemption amendment to the constitu- tion will be the last to be held under the pres ent system. Before the democratic primary next August is held the process of redistricting will be complete and will be in use throughout the county"

REQUESTS" IN ORDER FOR CONCERTS

Everybody has favorite piece that he wants to hear when great singer gives con- cert or a great orchestra or band, and it will probably be the same way when the chime is heard at Highlands Methodist church, and it is very gracious courtesy which Dr. W. R. Hen dirk, pastor of that church, to which the 'un- known friend" has presented the chime, an nounces that anyone who wishes a,special piece played can notify him, and he will be glad to take the matter up with L. H. Mattee, the pro- fessonal chimer, who comes from the McShane Bell foundry in Baltimore, where the bells were made" said Frank Dominick. While the pro- gram beginning on Christmas Eve and ex- tending through Monday, when on the afternoon of that day a special program for children will be presented, includes many beautiful hymns and selections still there is always room for one more, and any requests will be gladly received by Dr. Hendrix
