Writes from Santa Barbara

Miss Jessie Hatton. who with her
mother Mrs. Elizabeth Hatton is
spending the winter at Arroyo
Grande in California, dropped a
card home Feb. a from Santa Bar
bara, Cal. She said she and a
friend had taken an auto trip-10O
miles, down to Santa Barbara the
day before, to do little sight see
ing. AS it took a half day to go
there from Arroyo Grande she said
the. better part of two days would
be taken with the trip. She said
Santa Barbara is a beautiful place
on Santa Barbara bay. They had
taken mountain drive in the after
noon, and it was wonderful-could
see the bay and ocean and all of the
city from the mountain side. Miss
Hatton referred to the fact that Mrs
Nellie Dye Mellinger lives in Santa
Barbara, and that they expected to
call on her before they left. She
said she would never forget the trip
to Santa Barbara, down the coast
ighway-concrete just like a floor.

Western Man Writes

Editor Democrat: Enclosed
please find check for the Democrat
for another year. Can't do without
it.
We are having some real winter
weather in Kansas at present; has
been down below zero several morn
ings. Have had nice weather all
winter, almost like spring part of
the time. This has been an easy
winter on fuel. Not much ice
put up yet, but maybe there will be
ice weather yet. There are lots of
sales, two and three week. Stuff
is not bringing very fancy price.
A good many men are quitting the
farm and going into other business. 4
We have had no snow this winter
to speak of. Last Friday it showed
about two inches and went off the
next day. Have had no rain since
last fall, but most of the fall wheat
is all right yet. Stock of all kinds
are doing well; rough feed is plenty.
There are a good many hogs in the
country.
There is lots of sickness in the
country at present, mostly flu and
grip-some pneumonia. The doctors
can handle it much better than a
few years ago. Not many deaths so
far. I notice there are lots of deaths
back there this winter, both old and
young.
Zeke Maxwell is about the Oldest
man l can remember of.
What is E. A. Travis doing this
winter? Shooting jack rabbits? l
received a letter from Rev. F. A.
Brown, pastor on McConnelsville
circuit a good many years ago. His
wife is 90 years old and an invalid,
deaf and blind. He lives in Cam
bridge, O., with their only daughter.
Some of the readers will remember
them.
Well, l will close, with best wish
es to all old friends.-W. A. Sealock,
Ports, KanS.

Thinks It a Fine Show

Mr.. L. E. Partesius writes the
following from st. Louis, Mo-:
1 noticed in last issue advertise
ment of the movie, "Skin Deep" to
be shown in McConnelsville next
month. 1 saw it here not long ago,
and it is one of the best I have seen
long time. 1t was shown here
at soc to $1.00, and is worth seeing
at any price.
Some of the eX-service men who
have seen action at the front may
seem a bit surprised at a scene or
two. but they will soon forget those.
Skin Deep has more kick than
many highly advertised feature pic
lures. The plot is new, plenty of
action, not a dull moment in it..
Neither is it necessary to have worn
a uniform during the war in order
to enjoy this picture. A cigar store
Indian would get so interested in it
he would drop his tomahawk. Be
sure to see it.

CARNIVAL BY N. & N.
JUNIORS BIG SUCCESS

The carnival held in the high
school auditorium Saturday evening
beginning at five O'Clock, and under
| the auspices of the pupils of the
Junior class of M. and M. high, went
| off in a pleasant and highly success
Iful manner. Nothing had been
Ispared to make it enjoyable. and
successful, and their efforts were
certainly rewarded.
One of the outstanding features
of the evening was the ''cake walk"
of which Mr.. Bernhard Mercer had
charge. A large number partici-
pated in this and some of them be-
sides taking part in the general
|merriment incident to the walk,
were rewarded by receiving fine
cakes, in the neighborhood of 90
cakes being disposed of in this way.
The boys orchestra furnished mu-
sic throughout the evening and con-
tlibuted considerably to the gen
eral good cheer and entertainment.
One very attractive and unique
feature of the carnival was the for
tune telling. Miss Hollis Lenhart,
one of the high school teachers, ar
rayed as a gypsy presided capabfy
in this booth, and at ten cents per,
forecasted the future of all who ap-
Piled 1t is said that her read
ing of the life line" ETC., and pre-
dictions based on same, were truly
wonderful.
In the japanese booth were found
various articles Of Japanese make,
for sale, and Japanese costumed
young ladies to show the wares and
wait on the customers. This was an
interesting department, as was also
the Japanese tea room, where young
ladies in appropriate costume serv-
ed you with salad, sandwiches and
tea, if you so desired Victrola mu-
sic added to the pleasure.
One very taking feature OF the
carnival was the "hot dog" depart
ment which was all that the name
implied, and more too, as here you
could get besides weiner sand
wiches, ice cream, pie, etc.
The candy booth was one of the
sweetest" places to be found, and
here was on sale some of the finest
home made candy in variety that
lanybody ever saw or tasted.
An auction stand was one of the
many diversions and you didn't
know what was in your package
that you purchased until you open
ed it. And if you went into the
post office you could always get
letter for five cents or package
for 10 cents, the contents of which
were mystery until you investi-
gated.
| The penny arcade too was fea-
ture of the carnival you didn't want
to overlook, as here you could buy
boxes that contained you didn't
know what until you opened them.
and there were various kinds of lit
tie unique surprises awaiting you in
the arcade.
Another feature that helped to
round out events of the carnival was
the repeating of the two act comedy
"The Doctor in Spite of Himself"
which had been given by members
of the Adelphian literary society Of
M. &, M. high, on Friday afternoon.
The cast included nine persons, and
the play was very clever.
/ The carnival taken as whole.
was very successful affair as noted
above, and the gross receipts were
in the neighborhood of $145, about
1890 being cleared The proceeds
go for expenses incident to the Jun
ior reception to be held at COM
mencement time.
