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 years of age , shot and danger ously wounded himself Tuesday night with .32 "caliber revolver , the wouuU being inflicted with suicidal intent. Williamson it is said has been dissipating heavily for some time past , and for the last few days , pnfined himself to cheap hard idcr , Jamaica ginger and lemon xtracts The effcctb of this comination > roducc.d a suicidal mania and he 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 and is from Kansas City , Mo. , where has a father who is a well- cnown Baptist minister.
