Bazars.
As thoseason advances the Ba¬
zar fever has seized our ladies and
the good people of Covington will
hare an opportunity of helping
various worthy causes through
this popular channel before the
holidays come on.
The first of the series was held
when Mrs. N. S. Turner opened
her palatial home on Monticello
street for the first time to tin
Presbyterian ladies for their col¬
lar bazar.
The spacious hall and magnifi¬
cent drawing rooms were crowded
with beautifully gowned, enthus¬
iastic buyers. 'I ht display of col¬
lars was bewildering, There were
collars tor morning and collars for
evening, collars narrow and collars
wide and of all sorts of material
and yet the demand could not be
hilled. Conspicuous among the
beautiful collection was a donation
from friends in Texas whose gen
erous liberality added greatly to
th- beauty of the collection and
P-' C ‘ ds "t the sale. The object
of this bazar was to buy pulpit
fiirniiure for the Preshyteria
♦hurch and the ladies desire to
preciation express their m- st grabful' ap¬
for the liberal patron
'age extended to them on that oc
casion.
The second bazar is to be held
next Thursday and Friday, Nov.

« i Bud” Thompson Has Recovered
Dr. W. C. Shell)utt was over
from Walnutgrove last Thursday
He reported that at that time,
«1 Bud” Thompson (the man who
was shot by Iris nephew, John
Thompson) was out of danger and
able to walk, around.
Mr. Thompson was shot through
the lungs and Dr. Sihelnut thinks
he was also shot through the
stomach; and in view of iiis dan¬
gerous wounds, Mr. Thompson’s
I rapid recovery is remarkable. It
shows that lie possesses an unusu¬
al degiee of physical strength and
vitality and also speaks volumes
f^r the skill and ability gf Dr.
Sbeinutt. who is generally regard¬
ed as one of the mo«t expert phy¬
sicians of his years and experience
in the State.
John Thompson, who killed his
cousin and wounded his uncle,
and afterwards left Walton coun¬
ty, has not returned and his where¬
abouts are unknown to the public.
