RBCBPTION AND BANQUST.
Last week Mr. and Mrs. F.
M. Rublee'received an invitation
card reading like this , You are
very cordially invited to attend
a complimentary reception and
banquet given by the ladies of
the Presbyterian church at 8
o'clock in the M. W. A. Hall
Oct. 14 , 1909. Gifts for the
Vlanse fund will be received.
The night of the 14th Mr and
Mrs Rublee doned their ' 'glad
rags" and started for the hall in
a happy frame of mind , asF. M.
after consulting his wife had
decided on the amount of his gift
to the Manse fund. As they
neared the hall they saw it
shrouded in Egyptian darkness
Going to the nearest telephone ,
many inquiries failed to throw
light on the matter , Next morn
ing a search in the waste basket
revealed the fact that the enve
lope was post marked , Ansley.
Settled by Marriage.
The man who was arrested some
days ago , Grant Albert Darrah ,
for living .with a Mrs. Beeis au < 5
raising two children by them'liv
togethejj.married the woman
last week , and made out written
article declaring he was the fath
er of the children , and adobting
them into his family , making
them his heirs ; this wa'a required
by the county attorney , who de
clared that marriage alone did
not legitamtize the children.
In this case suit had been brought
by the county against the man ,
in the name of Supervisors for the
maintainance of the woman and
children , aud the farm , which ,
was clear , was tied up. This ac
tion now removes the stain of
Bastardy from the children , gives
the woman a property right in the
land and fixes a tnaintainancc for
them. Judge Sbinn performed
the marriage ' ceremony , with
county .attorney'Gadd as witness.
The Beacon Sees Spooks.
Our friendly contemporary , the
Beacon is very much exorcisec
because the republican candi
dates that chance to , be holding
a county dcputyship have oc
casional taken a day off to at
tend a fait or old settlers meet
ing to form acquaintanc with
the voters of the county. Al
told they have been absent from
their offices four days , this fall
since they were selected by tht.
primaries as candidates. As
clerks they by custom of wel
reguVatcd business arc entitlec
to two weeks vacation but none
of them have taken that during
the whole time they have beet
employed by the county. I
would be better for them as wel
as the county if they would take
a vacation and get out door exer
cise. They would be able to do
the county better service' by do
ing it.
The absence from the office i
difliereut from a deputy as th
clerk's duties are purelyclerica
while that of the principal i
executive. Further than tha
there is probably not a clerk in
any of the county offices tha
has been there the past fou
years but has put in more extra
hours for the county in tha
time than they would use wer
they put every day during th
rest of the campaign. <
When the pops were in the
county offices we remember them
holding their meeting over the
county whenever they choose ,
yet the office run along just the
same as well as hcir salaries ,
PARBER TRIES TO END LIFE ,
Clay Willamson,0f ! This City Shoots
Himself.
Clay Williamson , a barber 42

ously wounded himself Tuesday

The effcctb of this comination

cterinmed to make away with
ijtnself in the presence of
lis daughter , who was too young
o realize the seriousness of the
ntcut. However , as he picked
up the revolver and placed it to
us head , the little one-seized her
ather by the arm and exclaimed :
Ohpapal Don't shoot yourself in
tiehead. It will hurt like eycry-
hiug" . The man immediatly
lowered his arm , placed the re
volver against bis right side and
fired. Drs. Pennington and
Vlnllins worked over him nearly
all night trying to find the bull
et , but were unsuccessful.
Williamson comes of good family
