Delightful Dance Last Night— The dance at the Country Cub last night was a very delightful affair, as all of tho entertainments given by the members of the dab, and was largely attended.

The presence of a numbet girls and young men home tot the holidays added much to the pleas- of the evening. A False Alarm- Just another instance of how rumor in he exaggerated Into something so foreign to facts as to be unrecognis able. This morning the streets re sounded with the story of a big theft of overcoats, ate., at the Conntry Club. The reporter raced around trying to get at It and finally discovered that two young men. In leaving the building had taken the wrong coats. They had been located and the proper exchanges made before the rumor got started. There was of course nothing to It as tbere are to many such rumors. Here after the reporter would be glad If these rumors were confined to some semblance of the truth so that It won’t be so arduous to try and run one down to lta lair.

If that Is anything to go by, January should be very warm and sunshiny, as today has been spring like, and after the lifting of the fog in has shone out brilliantly. Like many of the old superstitions, however, they have very little fonnda- tion In tact, and what those twalvt days'are will not give much Informs tlon as to the state of the weather next year. Tbere doesn’t seem a cbanco for Professor Snider’s snow tomorrow, at least In the South, and maybe he was thinking of Alaska when be propho sled It.

He was coming to town from the lake when he deer In the road near the Mason place In Grady county. One Jumped the ditch and fence at the side of road, and the other made an attempt but failed, hls head strklng the barbed- wire at the top of the fence. He ed back and made another Jump, just as the car came up. But this attempt was also a failure and he fe]J to the ground. Mr. Nordan thought perhaps he was a tame deer and put the mal, sorely wounded,, In the truck he was drivln gand carried him toward Beachton. When seen by residents of that section, they exclaimed that the deer was wild and that he would die result of hls wounds. He waa killed Immediately. It was a fine buck and weighed about a hundred pounds. Mr. Jim Cocroft, also one of the C. C. Cocroft Music Company, bagged his first wild turkey yesterday and It was one of the handsomest specimens of the season, weighing about twenty-one pounds. Mr. Al Mars, also with the firm, is Just as proud of the quail he killed on his Christmas hunt, one bird, but It made up for deficiencies In numbers, by other desirable qualifications, which Mr. Mara Is having to tell time and time again to hls friends today.

Up North a cold Christmas with plenty of snow on the ground, Is considered the proper thing and a “green Chr!« mas” is not a thing to be desired. But down In this part of God's country everybody likes to see It bright and warm with plenty of flowers In bloom and the sun shining. Just a here yesterday. Everybody and the children had the time of their lives and burnt up Just about as powder as they could and this lug the sidewalks and yards In many sections of the city showed It In the remains of firecrackers, Roman can-’ dies,etc., that were scattered around.! They can’t enjoy It but once, however, and that Is while they are young, so* nobody should grumble at a little dis comfort as a result of It. Bright Weather Helps Roads— The sunshine of the past few days as not only been very delghtful but j has helped In drying off the road* around the country, somo of which! were rendered almost lmpassablo by j the unusually bad weather that pre-| vailed for so long.
