r J’lie valentine sociable, given by the
ladies of Hie Presbyterian church at
Goleman F.tall Monday night was quite
an onjoyab lo affair.
On aceou nl of the severe weather,
the: attendance was small, hut those
present, entering fu||y into the pleas¬
ures of the occasion, had a rerff nice
time.
The progrt. in arranged was qaiu a
novel one, each feature being sugges¬
tive of the ail pervading presence of
sly cupid.
“Matching hearts” was a number
out of which much fun was derived.
Numerous little red pastboard hearts
bad been provided, each inscribed with
some couplet tending to love. These
hearts were cut, m two and the halves
promiscously distributed, the gentle¬
men being required to find the ladies
holding the larger parts of their hearts.
While the net proceeds will not go
very far toward building a new church,
the ladies are nevertheless to be con¬
gratulated, especially upon their in¬
genius tact of entertaining.

I he Ani'eiicus Times-Rccorder is re¬
sponsible lor the following:
A colored citizen decided recently lo
stand a civil service examination for
the position of mail carrier.
He was being put through the orde¬
al; blit the second or third question
knocked him out of the box.
“How far is it from the earth to tin
aic lie was; ’il by !In examiner.
Fhe qcxtion was a poser.
“Look yaro, boss,” said the applicant
with bulging eyes, “of you’se gwine to
put me on dat route yerkin jes” scuse
me an’ keep de job.”
And the disgusted applicant went
away back to Ruzzard Boost and sat
down.
The attention of the ladies is called
to our new anivals of Silk Waist Pat¬
terns. They are unusually pretty and
mighty cheap.
ff. M. GU1,PK I’l’KU,
There has recently been a consider¬
able advance in the price of cotton,
and it went as high as 8 cents in this
market during the past week. There
was quite a lot being held in our ware¬
houses by some of our “easy” farm¬
ers, but most of it was sold since* the
rise 111 the price. That is “one time
in a hundred” when it paid the farmer
to hold his cotton, if history repeats
itself, the same parties will lose next
time more than they made in this in¬
stance.
Wo carry any style of 3-1 Beds, Iron
or Wood. See us before buying.

yet they permit petty prejudices and a
proneuess to backbite their neighbors
to stand in the way ot their (irogliio,
