Burch chairman of the republican central committee has issued a call for a county con- vention on Oct. 2nd to nominate a full county ticket. We understand the Prohibitionist party will nomi- nate a ticket on the 18th, and the Democratic and Union labor parties now have tickets in the field. If a voter fails to find a party of his choice this fall he must be hard to please. A number of invited guests took tea Wednesday evening at the home of Mrs. J. R. Harriman. The din- ing room was tastefully decorated, and the sweet perfume of cut flow- ers filled every room.

The speaking at Fairview last Thursday night was grand, so the L. U.’s say. Will Hoover gave his buggy a fair trial Sunday night, if we count 30 miles anything. We will not tell where, Will, as it was your first trip there. Squire Wilds attended the fair at Clinton this week. We would advise Danie to nail up his letter box for fear of accident. We wish to inform Juvenile of his mistake; surely if know myself I live the opposite direction to which you stated and am not accquainted with anyone in Vinton. We count this a very unnecessary mistake in your items. Miss Ida was the lucky one Sun- day, so Miss D. P. says. Little Willie Mosher celebrated her 12th birthday last Friday. The little folks attended report a grand time. Miss Tine Mosher was in our midst last week. 4 We truly hope Juvenile will not be so quick in censvring persons after this as he gotso badly left in his last items.
