Intoveot in election returns con
tinues keen in nil purls of the
country. Up to the time that we
go to press it is still impossible to
say just what the fin il vote will be,
but with 250 votes seemingly sure
and Wilson leading in four doubt
ful states it seems almost certainty
that he will be elected.
The Republicans*havc not yet
conceded the defeat of Mr. Hughes
and'are claiming that he will have
a vote of 280 in the electoral col
lege. The Democrats, claim that
Wilson will be elected' with 233
electoral votes.
As we go to press the nows
comes that there will likely l.e a
contest in several of the doubtful
states, so it will likely be a day or
two before the results can be de
clared with absolute certainly.
One of the remarkable features
of the election 'is that the largo
states of the East have all gone for
Hughes and yet the probabilities
of Wilson’s election arc strong.
Present indications arc that both
houses of Congress, will remain
Democratic, though with greatly
reduced majorities.
We give herewith the present
•standing by states of the two can
didates.
Quite a succss was the Halloween
shower given in honor of Miss
Roma Pdulk last Thursday after
noon by Mesdamcs J. L. Poulk, C.
R. Beale, W. H. Robinson, W. S.
Wight, W. B. and A. C. Ro.lden-
bery in the home of Mrs. A. C.
Roddelibcry.
The parlors and dining room
were decorated with the black hi d
and yellow crepo papor with the
Halloween figures of all kinds.
This made a very weird scene I o
each guest sis they entered. Upon
arrival each person was served
orangeade from the witches pot
by Misses Ina Ledford, Lois Walsh
and Jewel D&kel nil in Halloween
cost times.
After all the guests and the hon-
orce had arrived, the old witch
came in with a heavy load on her
back and after deciding who her
pack should go to she unloaded at
the feet of the bride-elect who was
sitting beneath a largo chrysant
hemum covered heart pierced by
Cupids’ dart.
The guests aa well as M-iss
Poulk were then entertained for
quite a while by looking at the
many gifts which the “spooky old
witch” lmd brought to her. After
every package was opened a salad
course was served.
The bride-elect wore a hand
some dress of burgundy velvet.
Her hat was of the. same shade
witli a gold facinj.

My Go, Ships More Hogs
Mr. C. R. Beale bought this
week for shipment to White Prov-
ison Company in Atlanta another
Car of hogs, paying 1 for some of
these as high ng- eight and one
qtiartei; centjS,^| Mr. Beale .informs
us that lie will also buy and ship
a ear from Whigham this week
and posfibly also one from Meigs.
I he placing of a loaal buyer on
t.ic ground by this enterprising
Atlanta firm is proving aS popular
move with our hog growers and so
long as they maintain a satisfac
tory price no doubt bnt that most
of them will sell rather than to
ship to market before selling.
The difference in price tljAt is
being paid this season between
well finished hogs and those of in
ferior quality should stimulate all
our farmers to" get their hogs in
good condition before offering them
for market.
