- Tbe entertainment given by the ladles

was the merchants’ carnival parade

the banners were very pretty, but owing
to a strong wind which wss blowing tbe
procession could not start until late and
the banners had to be carried so low
that it was almost impossible for tbe
spectators to get a good view of them.

and interesting entertainment. Tbe

Walt Muon: A men at O’Nelli, whose
name hu neaped ue, after a severe
struggle, has Invented a eontrlvanoe that
will fill a long felt want. It is a tobacco
boa with a time lock on it. The prime
object of the Inventor wu to produce an
affair that would uslst the tobacco-user
to swear off, and It Is easy to see bow
correctly he figured. But this new
tobacco box will be a boon In other
ways. The man who knpa a supply of
tobacco on hand knows how annoying
It Is to have ladies and gentlemen ap
proaching him every half hour, saying:
"Give me a chew." When the chrome
tobacco borrower approaches you for a
chew,’you can flash out your glittering
box, with its patent look, and arty: "I'd
gladly accommodate you, but this blamed
box won’t open until 9 o’clock tomorrow
morning; if you will wait until then, I'll
give you a chew.”
MATH Off XU ADAM,
The following account of the death of
Mrs. Adam is taken from the Fitzgerald,
(Ga.) Leader, date of June 18:
Died, In this olty lut Frliay evening,
Mrs. Mae Adam, aged 49 years. The
death of this lovable and amiable woman
falls with crushing weight on those who
know her best and loved her most.
Scarcely a week previous her aged and
invalid mother died and was buried. We
are not fully advised as to the cause of
her death, but from her husband we
learn it was heart disesse, caused by
constant care of her mother and loss of
sleep, together with her journey to and
from the depot through the hot sun the
day before she wu taken sick. We deeply
sympathize with the family in their
sorrow, trusting that God’s hovering
angel will watch over them with healing
wing. The funeral took place Saturday
afternoon, the services being conducted
by Rev. Matson.
