The burial Monday of Miss
Hattie Graham, who died the day
bofore, was a very sad one. After
a lingering illness of'many weeks
the feeble flame of life went out
and mother and father were left
bereaved. Owing to his own ill
ness Mr. Graham could not, at
tend. After services at the cem
etery by Rev. H. E. McClure,
under the gloom of leaden J
skies and falling rain the j
body of the beloved daughter ,
was laid to rest in the silent city I
of the dead.
If all those who went on the ex
cursion train to Chattanooga

HALLOWEEN NIOHT AND A SOCK
SOCIAL.
It Will B, to AH, Both Od and
Young, a Mos„ Enjoyab e Occasion.
The Epworth League will giye
an entertainment at the Court
House, Wednesday, October 31.
at 7:30 P. M. It is given to aid in
raising funds for the famishing
of the new church. The unique
feature of the occasion will be in
making no charge for refresh
ments. Being Uailowean night,
so dear to maidens fair, all will
be given the opportunity of hay
ing their fortunes told and finding
out what fat) has in 6tore for
them. In addition to that it will
be a sock social. The important
part the sock will play is fully
explained by the following charm
ing lines:
This little sock we give to you
Is not for you to wear.
Please multiply your size by two
And place therein with care,
In pennies or iu conts,
Jnst twice the number that you wear.
(We hope it is immense.)
So if you wear a No. 10,
You owe us 20. See?
Which dropped within onr little sock
Will fill our hearts with glee.
'Tis all we ask, it isn’t mack.
And hardly any troublo;
Put if you only have one foot,
We’ll surely charge you double.
Now, if you have a friend quite dear
You’d like to bring with you,
Or if you know some one wlio’d come
We’ll gladly give you two.
So don’t foiget the place and date—
We’ll answer when you knock,
And welcome you with open arms;
But DON’T FORGET YOUR SOCK!
Remember, no chargo for re
freshments.
A Correction.
Mr. Editor:—l noticed an arti
cle in your last issue regarding
the burning of Mr. John Mc-
Outchen’s barn that is likely to
mislead the public who are not
acquainted with the facta.
The barn was a two-story frame
structure 18x34 feet, with ashed
ten feet wide'on each side run
ning the foil length of the build
ing, and was worth at least S2OO.
While I do not know the extant
of Mr. Magins loss, it is generally
I; ' ’>e slight by those who
*it tue fire, as fortunately
uii’. magins had hanldd and
stacked the hay raised on the
McCutchen farm on his own land.
O.K.
The Work Ended.
The County School Board,
none of whom expect to run for
office for the next five years, met
Monday and Tuesday to com
plete the work of dividing the
county into school districts.
Forty-two white schools and
eight colored have been perma
nently established, and the dis
tricts in which Same are included
have beeu laid off. This is a re
duction from originally about 64
schools in the county.
The next important step is the
election of new trustees for these
schools in compliance with law.
Full instructions will be found in
the notice of Commissioner Ros
ser, published in this issue.
