Brief Mention
Of interest to many of the summer
residents here is the announcement of
the wedding in Washington, D. c.,
on July 2, at st. Pauls church, of Miss
Eleanor Gillian, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward Gillian, to Mr.. James J.
Short, of Turner Falls, Mass. Mrs.
Short has spent many summers here
with her parents and has visited Miss
Joanna Grimes recently. The wedding
was a quiet one, only the parents of the
bride and the attendants being pres
ent. Murray Shehan, of Washington,
was best man and Miss Grimes was
maid of honor.
The local library is being moved
from the home of Mrs. Gay Hayden to
its summer quarters in the bowling
alley club room. The days and hours
will be Wednesdays and Saturdays, 8
to 5 o'clock. Library patrons will not
be served this week as the moving is
yet incomplete, but will be ready next
week.
The Ladies' Aid of the Methodist
church announce a chicken dinner to
be served on Thursday evening, July
25th, at the Methodist church.
A delightful surprise dinner party
was given on Saturday evening at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. A. V. Schaeffer.
The affair was honoring Mr.. Scaeffer's
birthday anniversary. The table was
decorated with fernery and candles,
in the center of which was large
cake. Among the guests were Mr.. and
Mrs. l.. p. Venizelos, Miss Gustana
Schaffer, Mrs. Lloyd Morgan, all of
Washington; Mr.. and Mrs. Wesley

improvements Noticeable
There is one spot in Mountain Lake
that deserves special mention. We do
not mean that it's the only spot that
does. We refer to the postoffice sur
roundings. Miss O'Donnell has worked
hard to try and make things more
presentable, and has succeeded. Sew
eral other persons have done their bit
to help in other spots of the Park, but
there is still plenty to do.
The Election Failed to Materialize
In case you wantto know how the
election turned out, we report that
there wasn't any such thing. Appar-
emily no one was interested enough to
file for the job of councilman, or they
are wise enough to duck trouble, so we
presume that one will be appointed
by the mayor and council to fill out
the unexpired term of Mason Calls,

LAUNCHING SLATED
Miss Isabel HOey Will SpOn-
scr Event In New York
Navy Yard In June

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-H7-
Secretary Edison announced today
that the IS, O00-ton battleship North
Carolina, first new American battle
ship in nearly two decades, would
be launched at New York navy yard
in June.
Edison designated Miss Isabel
Hoey, daughter Of Governor Clyde
r. Hoey of North Carolina, as spon'
sor.
The ship will be the first of six
%battleships Of the same general size
and type under construction now to
be launched. The ship was not en-
pected to be ready to join the fleet,
however, until late next year.
The North Carolina is the first
completed battleship and the fourth
naval vessel to bear that name. The
third North Carolina likewise was
a battleship, but was strapped be-
fore completion by the 1922 naval
limitation treaty.
The North Carolina will be about
rs per cent complete at launching.
Her sister ship, the Washington,
under construction at the Philadel-
phia navy yard, will follow her down
the ways in about three months.

O r IJGA

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-LR-The
sugar futures market had a chance
to pass judgment on the 1910
quota for the first time since the
figures were released Friday. The
answer was a brisk advance in
both the domestic and world de-
liveries.
Domestic prices opened 5 to 2
points higher then fell back most
of the day under liquidation and
hedging. Near the close the list
rallied when short covering and
new buying orders found contracts
closely held. Final quotations were
up 4 to 6 points on sales Of 24.45O
tons.
Brokers said that while the
quota was considerably less than
the trade expected, supplies were
still estimated to be generous in
view of large year-end stocks.
The world contract moved in
step with the domestic, ending S IL
to 8 IL ahead on turnover of Z.
900 tons.
In the raw market two cargoes
OF Cubas in January positions were
held at 2 cents c & F but refiners
were withdrawn.

undersecretary of the interior today

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Jan. 2-LR-The first
1910 session of the grain market
produced enough buying today to
push wheat prices up 8 cents a
bushel, with other grains follow
ing the advance.
Expectations of improved stand,
"a pessimistic railroad crop survey
in the winter wheat belt and some
mill buying loosed a large num-
Der of commission house orders.
Buying increased as the price rose,
execution of numerous short"
covering orders was forced.
Profit taking caused frequent
small setbacks but the days best
prices were reached at the close,

Sound republican talk is heard in
the strangest places. The President
announces that he intends to try
to reduce expenses. New Dealers ad
NIT that something must be done
about hte National Labor Relations
Board. And the boys in the inne1

that the entry of the United Statse

NEW o r COTTON

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-R-The
cotton futures market breezed into
1910 today in a vigorously bullish
frame Of mind.
Enthusiastic buying by domestic
and foreign intests swept prices Is
to 30 points higher, the days tops.
Most traders said 1910 looked
like a good year and appeared
ready to back up that sentiment
with aggressive market action.
This, combined with strength in
other commodity markets and Sc
curities, kept buyers moving.
Hedging sales of large blocks Of
cotton by a major spot interest
failed to check the advance.
The list got off to a good start
as markets at Bombay, Liverpool
and Alexandria staged another
squirt. Foreign accounts bought
heavily here.
