The men contributed i this to offset the good things the la- | dies served, but the big thing was the games and races. Almost a full moon made it possible to continue a ticket, hence something had to be done by these folks to see the circus. A man by the name of Jones spied a hole in the tent and he immediate- ly secured him a reserved ‘“‘standing space’” where with one eye he could 2220+ PPEEPEP PSP PRFTHPEETS 030 By C. D.

Several attempts were made to fire the old relic, but all were in vain and the revolver was thrown at the show man, the country man missing his mark sever- al feet. At this stage of the fight the town marshall, Ben Parks, and his corps of assistants were upon the scene of action and a few arrests were made, but during this deal fighting was going on in other parts of the grounds, in fact “‘scrapping’ had become so common that the en- tire tent was soon torn down.

The older people became young again as they caught the spirit of the young people who made joy for every one. ‘The picnic was held at Lake Sew- ard under the Old Oaks which are see the whole performance.

Another rain and thunder storm occurred last night about 7 o’clock, in the course of which several trans- formers blew out, and for a space of half or three-quarters of an hour many residences and other places were in darkness. The repairs were made as rapidly as possible and the light service was resumed. —— The Elks gave another of their de- | lightful informal dances at their club rooms last night, which was well attended and thoroughy en- joyed by both participants and on- lookers. The Auditorium orchestra furnished the music for the occasion, thereby adding much to the pleasure and success of the affair. —_—— The Epworth League social, which was to have been held last night, was postponed until tonight on ac- count of the heavy rain last evening. It is hoped that weather conditions will be more propitious tonight in order that the young people may en- joy themselves as they always do at such affairs. The social is to be given at the Methodist church. Miss Winnifred Streater, Miss An- nie Seymour and little Miss Mary Seymour will leave shortly for an automobile trip to Ocala, Fla., where they wiil visit Miss Ethel Seymour for several weeks, and from there Miss Streater will go by rail to her home in Lakeland, Miss Mary Sey- mour will go to Kissimmee for a visit, and Miss Annie Seymour will go to Athens, Ga., to attend the wedding of a cousin at that place.— Miami Metropolis. “I have been reading the Senate Journal carefully each day,” said C.
