halloween Night.

The young people of Columbia al
ways look forward, with great deal
of pleasure, to the night for the spooks
and the witches to appear, and their
unique costumes are enjoyed by the
older persons, who intently watch
them as the fun proceeds. Mrs. G R..
Reed and Miss Mamie Smith enter
tanned their Sunday school classes at
the home OF the latter on Burkesville
street, and there was fun galore for
every body, the old as we'll as the
young. There were tall ghost, carry
ing strange lights, just what might
be expected on halloween night, and
the goblins we're creeping around all
the while, and the owls and black
cats keeping music with the throng.
We stepped into the door and saw a
number on the shady side, whose ex-
pressions seemed to say, ''oh that 1
was a child again." Sandwiches,
cakes, candy and apples were served.
At a late hour all left for their re-
spectiVe homes, praising halloween
night. .-..
There was a similar gathering OF
the older boys and girls at the Christ
ian church and they had the time ot
their lives. There were many hand
some costumes at this gathering and
many that were ridiculously amusing,
keeping the crowd in an uproar al
the time. In after years the young
men who attended this halloween par.
ty will "chew on" when occasions like
this are announced, and the young la
dies, perhaps will have become ma
irons, looking after their household
affairs. =.

Election Returns. Adair County

There has not been an election
in Adair county for many years
when there was as little interest
manifested as was in the one
held yesterday. The Democrats
were not as active as the Repub-
licans, hence the vote of the
county is much lighter than US
ual. We undertook to fill out q
table, but some of the precincts
failed to report at all, and sever
al made only partial returns.
Enough, however, was heard to
report that Lilburn Phelps car.
ried Adair by a small majority,
less than two hundred. From
over the district news came in
to warrant the statement that
Judge D. A. McCandless has
been elected, his majority esti-
mated at about 2, 500 votes. The
back counties where Phelps ex.
pected to get his largest vote,
did not come up to his expecta-
tions. Russell county, Mr..
Phelps home county, gave him
about one thousand majority.
Adair county fell down with its
Republican vote, Mr.. Phelps ma
jority being less than two hun
dred. Nelson county gave Nc
Candless 1,700 majority, Hart,
600, Taylor, 12O. Washington,
300, and Anderson, Bullitt, Shell
by, Spencer, Larue and Oldham
voted largely for MeCandless,
hence it may be counted that in
the district McCandless will have
close to $500 majority. Judge
Gilbert, the Democratic candi-
date for Congress, was re-elect-
ed by a minority close to 5000.
Next week we will endeavor
to give the full returns in the
Appellate and Congressional dis
tricts.
1t looks like Adsir is coming
into her own.

Tn. School Building Proposition.

There was a meeting at the court
house last Friday night to take into
consideration the erection Of a new
Graded School building, or remodel
ing the present one
The crowd ia attendance was not as
large as it should have been, but those
who were present indicated by a ris-
ing vote that they favored the prop.
osition.
The main question is, how is the
money to be raised for the building.
Mr.. Gordon Montgomery was called
TO the chair and made the opening
speech, telling how the funds would
have to be raised for said purpose
He spoke very enthusiastically in ia
Vor Of the proposition; spoke of a re-
cent visit he and others made to
Greensburg and CampbellsVille, exam
lining the construction of the new
buildings in these two towns, and also
how the money vas raised to erect
them. This school district, said he,
could do the same thing if proper
steps should be taken.
There were other short talks by a
number of gentlemen, all of whom
favoring remodeling the present
building or erecting new one.
Before the meeting adjourned the
School Board was directed to secure
an architect, give him plans upon
which to figure out the cost and re-
port at another meeting whictt Viii be
held very soon. There is no doubt
but an adequate building will have to
be erected or the present one remod-
eled, to take care Of the children in
this large and growing district.

They either met or passed Elmer
Bryant, son Of Mont Bryant, 13 years

but presently he looked back and saw
that Bryant had the gun pointed at
the Redman boy. 1t fred, the load
entering Redman's shoulder and com.
ing out under his chin. Bryant threw
up his hands, saying, "Oh, did not

If you do 1 will be sent to the peni,
tentiary for life."

While Sauntering through Rock
Creek Park, accompanied by few
friends. was brought face to face
with a strange incident. The at
mosphere of the park was that of
restfulness, OF peace. / was enjoy
ing each moment of time spent in
such harmonious environment when
my eyes rested on a man whose
attire was that of a foreigner-a
long gray coat extending to his
feet, a small cap set well back from
the face, a leather belt around his
waist in which were revolvers and
large dagger sheath. He scarcely
noticed our presence, his attention
being given to two women who
were resting on the bank of the
creek. He remained at a respectful
distance from the women and his
demeanor toward them was one OF
great respect. A. few rods distant
was a handsome carriage with a
magnificent span Of horses and the
driver. a man of good physique, also
kept his eye on the women, moving
his team toward them when they
arose and sauntered along the
greensward on the bank of the
creek. 1t was bit of the old
world in the United States, for I
was later Informed that the women
were connected with one of the en-
bassies here.-JOHN n. QUINN, 307

Naval Chivalry.

1t was a dreary day. All of the
street car passengers looked tired
and fretful. Toward the back of
the car stood a clean-cut. refined
and intellectual appearing young
sailor holding to a strap. He was
glancing listlessly out of the win
dow as though he was dreaming of
home-or someone else's home. Di-
rectly in front of him there was a
naval officer. very comfortably
lounging on a seat. A very CHARM
ing young lady then entered the
car and, as there was neither seat
nor strap. she stood near the sailor.
The officer, 10 king up from his
seat. said to the sailor. You fool.
why don't you give the lady your
strap" without the slightest fore
thought and quick as flash the
enlisted man retorted, My good
cavalier, II ] were as chivalrous as
you ] should give the lady my
seat" You can imagine. the junior
officers embarrassment when a
jovial colonel seated next to him
roared with delight.-L NJ. GREEN,
Virginia Highlands, Va.
