The music recital at the Opera House Friday evening was an unqualified suc cess from every standpoint and those who attended enjoyed quite a treat.

Fairfax, Nov. 8.—The ladies of the Baptist Missionary society observed Halloween in a very amusing way. There was a procession of ghosts led (after promenading) by Mrs. S. L. Sanders in two very weird and scarey songs. Mrs. Jennings and Miss Zelle Load- holt had charge of well arranged and amusing “side shows,” like “The Fat Lady,” “The Tall Lady,” “Red Devil,” and others. Fortunes were told in an other room. Mesdames Simpson and Loadholt presided over the refresh ment table. A good sum was real ized, and all enjoyed it very much. Mrs. Julia Harter is visiting relatives at Hickory Grove.

At present it seems very probable that all three of Barnwell County’a candidate for State office* will have op positions next year. There are ten avowed candidates for gubernatorial honors, including the Hon. Charles Carroll Simms, of Barn well. Mr. Simms is the choice of the Bleaseites and the political wise says that the man who beats him will be Governor. General W. W. Moore has announced that he will again seek the office of Ad jutant General and that he will run on his record. It is said that he will have opposition from the administration forces, and rumor has the name of O. VV. Bal b at present Assistant Adjutant General, for the place. So far no opposition has turned up against the Hon. Thos H. Peeples for Attorney-General. However, Frank (j Tompkins, a Columbia attorney, has been suggested for the place It will be remembered that Mr Tompkin* married Mima Mattie Aldrich, daughter of the late Judge Robert Aldrich, of Hj. rnwell He it well and favorably known over the State R M MrCown. *e<-retary of state f.»r »c\rra! tears, ha* announced that hr wilt %rr» probably be ■ ramtidate 1 it 'r election nevt tummer It t* - jm ■rd m ( oljmbta that M- McLown • t>« u;>;*‘*ed h» J^.hn M NAhartoo. tte ti '«■ r 'ire »rn»!r fr'»m ’.awrem « *a' ■ ^ ! »rtr- itatr !re*»-rvf a **rv rg r. % ' -v! •<'?*• N . o^poa'lMMi haa kg* •vat htai yet it * »a>3 ■Kkl i> A VI .a 4'.a may aga a enter ? r m * Jaaae* I( * 'a~g tJ kn«Weuu^ haa lerea a«gg»*t*d *• • fauaw. b*« raw4»«ia>a lo imiaa \ W imrnmrn foe umpteolVee gwaer» 11 a 1 .A *: y that i -jha f- ’'••a/ Cg«« wSI ka>* ovfMmtA aAa*e uit«wd«w' J edw Bt«»a Ha haa • » < • » *• ; • * W ,, $ $ ? * * • r $ ' * « $ V l* ft 1 • ft * COWNC FROM AU AtOLND ■ var A ed hard iiotta. • •ha rdwca t Vn«th 1 arv^oa l ae f • 1 ' • « a« !• e-e- • ad f a • *' am a • ' * ** J Fftft/ tt • e ft/’t $ • » $ » • -ft* , - c ► ft. » * a e **• ' tfv!
