Some time ago the ladies planned to have a Christmas tree and each was to give and receive one present. At seven o'clock the guests began to assemble, dressed as children, the men in knee pants and Buster Brown collars, the ladies in short dresses, their hair in braids. Some of the costumes were stunning and deserve mentioning, especially Bessie Walker and Georgia Gilmore. They certainly made an appearance long to be re membered as they came in hand in hand, wearing little straw hats with rubber bands under their chins. Ora Davis, Jimmy Loughridge and Willie Brown looked like boys of ten, while Jimmy Holmes and Willie Smith, if they could have been seen and not heard, might have been taken for boys of sixteen. Ida Parr was voted the cutest little girl at the party while Baby Margie Walker looked cunning with the long curls, white bonnet and Teddy Bears. At seven-thirty all the good things imaginable was given the children to eat. After they had finished supper Santa Claus put in his appearance and distributed candy, nuts and pop corn; also many handsome and use ful presents. "Millers Boy," "Pig in the Parlor," and games of this scrt were played until a late hour, all sorry that it was time to go home. This was the event of the season, and all present will be glad when Mrs. Baker entertains again. Those present were Hattie Holmes, Mary Becker, Leona Sands, Beth Hopkins, Lula Brown, Nettie Pitman, Nettie Shera, Viola Young, Ida Parr, Bessie Walker, Ida Beodeker, Carrie Allison, Fay Oldham, Gertrude Long, Pollie Oldham, Baby Margie Walker, Jimmy Holmes, Willie Smith, Arthur Baker, Georgie Gilmore, Willie Brown, Jimmy Loughridge, Ora Davis, Warren Wiley, Lynn Hop kins, Ralph Holmes and Opha Baker. Knjoyed the Trip. From Friday's Daily. Our old friend, A. M. Holmes, was in the city this morning and a caller at the Journal headquarters. He has just returned from a two months' trip to Kansas and Oklahoma, where he spent the time in visiting and ex ploring the country. Since he sold his farm in Kansas he has been seek ing other investments. We are more than pleased to see Mr. Holmes looking so well, which denotes that his trip was one of recreation as well as business. Wedding Announcement. From Tuesday's Daily. Cards are but announcing the mar riage of Samuel J. Pitman one of the members of the firm of Pit man & Davis of Murray, one of the best known young men of that local ity, and Miss Marie Terrace Hennings daughter of Mrs. Rosa Hennings of this city. The young people are well known in this locality and are very popular young people. The wedding will take place on the 29th inst. AND VICINITY ESPECIALLY in this vicinity and will mad same to this Death of I). M. Lloyd. I). M. Lloyd living near Murray is reported as being very ill. His friends throughout this section of the country hope that the report is exaggerated and that he soon will be out and about again. Since the above item was put in print, news has been received here that Mr. Lloyd died last evening at five o'clock. Arrangements have been made for the funeral which will take place Thursday, the sermon be ing preached at the Murray church and interment taking place at the Young cemetery. A great deal of grief is felt among all who knew Mr. Lloyd over his sud den and unlooked for demise. While It was known that he was quite ill there was little belief that the illness would prove fatal as he was a man with rugged health and one whom it was believed could over come his malady. Further notice will be given Mr. Lloyd as the news was received too late to permit an extended notice to day. Pay your personal taxes at the Murray State Bank and save the ex pense of a trip to Plattsmouth. Death of Youu.i Son. From Tuesday's Daily. The death of Morris, only son of John Daughty, living in the Murray neighborhood, whose illness was re ported in the Journal several days ago, occurred yesterday morning at seven o'clock. The funeral is set for tomorrow (Wednesday) morning at eleven o'clock, interment being at Nehawka. The sympathy of their many friends go out to the bereaved par ents in the hour of their sorrow. The loss of an only son comes as a most severe and trying blow and leaves a vacant chair in the household which the passing of time can never fill. In common with all others the Jour nal extends its utmost sympathy. errand Ball at Murray. George Berger has notices out an nouncing that on Friday evening, De cember 25 (Christmas night) he will give a grand ball at Jenkins' hall at Murray. Those who have attended dances given by this gentleman know that he always has the best of every thing to make such occasions a grand success. The best of music has been engaged for the occasion, and noth ing will be left undone to make this one of the best dances ever given in j Murray, and those who fail to attend i this Christmas ball will miss some thing grand. Everybody come, as a good time is assured. Take Notice. It takes money to run a hardware store. We need money in our busi ness. All persons knowing them selves indebted to us will please come in and settle by January 1, 1909. 1-1-09 Pitman & Davis. Maple Grove.

Firtz Lutz and Mata Puis made a trip to the county seat Tuesday. J. R. Gregory shelled corn Wed nesday and delivered it to R. A. Young. At the Parmele Friday Night. The cyclonic disturber of the risi bilities, "Ole Swanson," the enor mously successful comedy drama, ap pears at the Parmele Theater on Friday night, December 25. The mirthful eccentricities of this famous Scandinavian dialect char acter are augmented by an excellent coterie of New York artists, all of whom are experts in fun making, not a "stick" in the company, not a poor line in the dialogue, not a chest nut or a questionable word, nothing but flashes of pure wit and ludicri ous laughable situations interspersed with pleasing specialities. Come and see "Ole Swanson." He's awfully funny. FOR THE JOURNAL READERS. office it wxll appear under this heading. Local News. AI.
