On the seventh of November
“Will-sons,” of America vote,
And “Marshall” all their forces
Under the Democratic coat.
We'll wear the U. S. Breeches;
Man to man we’ll stand in rank
For Wilson and his party, ;
On the Democratic plant.
When the great day is ended _
We will hand the laurels o’er,
To Wilson and his comrade
To serve us four years more.

'STORY HOUR BEGINS
TO CROWD LIBRARY.
~ The story hour at the library Fri
day afternoon was largely attended,
‘there being between 110 and 115 chil
dren and half a dozen adults. The
children’s room where the stories are
‘told was crowded to standing room,
some of the children being compelled
‘to stand in the lobby.
| This shows the great need of a sep
‘erate assembly room for the story
%hour, club meetings, etc. Stories will
‘be ‘told at the library every Friday af
}ternoon at 3 o’clock. If possible the
‘stories will be told especially for the
‘children of the picture to be shown
\at the Palace theatre the following
morning.
Mrs. Espy entertained the little
ones by presenting the story in a most
charming manner. It was the second
occasion and if the crowds of children
increase, it will be impossible to ac
commodate those who are eagerly at
tending.

ANOTHER THALIAN MEETING.
Mrs. W. E. Haskell was hostess to
the Thalian club at its second meeting

this being the second act of Julius Cae
sar. After reading the act the query
study was turned over to Mrs. Has
kell, this being the privilege of the
hostess. |
At the conclusion of the study andl
Qdiscussion of the many-sided ques
tions, the guests were invited into the
dining room where they were served
at table with a delightful coffee
course.

MISS ROSSER AS HOSTESS.
Of the week’s social affairs none
among the younger set were more en
joyable than that at which Miss Helen
Rosser entertained her Sunday school
class at the home of Miss Willa: Webb
on Northern Heights last evening. The
hall, parlor, living room and dining
hall were thrown together, and yellow
and black, the hallowe’en colors, was
the color motif, being shown with
witches, owls, jack-o-lanterns, pump
kins, brownies, autumn leaves and put
plants.
The girls of the class gathered at
the home of Mrs. A. C. Frasuer and,
dressed as ghosts. went to the home
of Miss Webb in a body. The guests
were met at the door by queer and
speechless ghosts and a little witch re
ceived the hats and coats. Another
ghost ushered the guests into the par
lor. A delightful entertaining feature
was the reading of fortunes, after
which a ghost tale, with thrills and
chills, was told by Miss Annie White.
Other pleasures, peculiar to the hal
lowe’en season were indulged in.
Those assisting in serving a delici
ous ice course were Misses Helen Ros
ser, Annie White, Florence Allen and
Vioclet Webb. The guests were Misses
Laura Frasuer, Mildred Churchwell,
Mary and Margraet Bulloch, Martha
Lasseter, Mary McCoy, Minnie and
Esther Hind, Mamie Lanier, Anna Cal
