WENT TO HOLT E'SVIl,LE.

went out to Holrresville on Monday
evening to the fowl supper in the
Methodist church given in connection
with the Men's Day celebration, They
went in rigs, by automobile and by,
foot and one and all report having
hat! a most enjoyable time. The sup-
per was the Bind that the l3almesvil-
le people know so well how to serve,
abundant and well cooked, and the
program was also good. One party
of young ladies who went OUt
early
intending to return in time for cer-
tain other gatherings in Clinton had
a rather disturbing experience. On
arriving at the church a Hohnes il-
lite, with ebaracteristio courtesy, of-
fered to put away their horse, which
he did,.:putting him in the far corner
of the shed in order to leave coon -
for later comers. The young ladies
had 'their supper tied when ready to
leave for home 'went out to see about
their horse. But the shed was Gull
to overflowing with horses and rigs.
Furthermore, they weren't very sure
of the appearance of their trusty
steed. One of the young ladies vol-
unteefied the inforna.ation that rt was.
a Drown horse with rubber -bitesand
had a Mack robe in the buggR This
did not seem to throw sufficient light
on the subject to make indentifica-
tion easy, however. But atter: some
delthe a and rigwere extrica-
ted,
hors,, ,t ica
ted from the medley of vehicles' and
the young ladies were started on
their honeward journey, arriving safe-
ly and only an hour or so later than
was intended.

live up to our neighbor's good opin-
ion:
"Owing to the demise of W. J.
Mitchell, i it hell, Lilitor and Proprietor of

by the administrator. The purchaser
is G. E. Hall, who has been foreman
of the New Era for the past six
years. Ile is- now iii "possession. Mr.
Hall is wet! known to the people of
Clinton and surrounding country and
