TnurFfiay evtninff, the 24nd,
Mrs. G N. Eutton gave a large
re option at her elegant new res
i .ence in honor of her brother
a id his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Her
man Borninghauser, of Detroit.
About a hundred guests were
present. Mesdames J. H. Shu
f »rct arid C. M. Shuford and
4isses Lovie and Josie Simmon
assisted. The few musical selec
tions which were given during
tee ing ariorded gfeat pleas
are. Mesdames G. N. hutton
ind Winters played two piano
iuetts —both being greatly ad
nired, especially the "Selections
from Trovatore." The quar-

lrs. Chadwick and Mr.Bonning

ii duet of Graben-Hoffman,
I feel thy angel spirit" Mr.
Jonninghauser has a remarka
jly musical voice, sweet and
vith a mellow fulness, showing
ultivation in the ease and con
tol with which it is used. Mrs.

effect. The Misses Sigmon gave

hausen's beautiful contralto.
Mrs. Bert Hutton gave much
pleasure by her piano selections.
Refreshments were served in
the dining room beautifully dec
orated with smilax, ferns, pink
carnations, and rose-shaded
Sights. As the guests left the
dining-room, cards were given
ihem to construct rightly the
scattered letters on them into the
names ofjflowers or of nuts. This
little surprise added a new zest
to the evening's entertainment,
which was one of the most de
lightful Hickory has ever en
joyed.
On Sunday, the 28th, the two
youngest children of Judge and
Mrs. Council were baptized bv
the Rev. J. S. Moody at the
Church of the Ascension. Alan
Ballard, three years old and
Elizabeth Acmes one year have
the same birthday, and by an in
teresting coincidence were bap
tized on their birthday. Rev.
and Mrs. Moody stood their
sponsors.
Mr. A. Bonninghauser sang a
beautiful solo, "My God, my
Father, uhile I stray," Marston
at the Episcopal Church Sunday.
It is a great treat to hear such
singing with its ease, sweetness
and strength.
The dinner brand of politics is
getting very popular.
"I am attending strictly to my
duties as Governor of this State"
says Mr. Hughes. There is no
finer business than minding one's
own business.
The courts are going to have
a hard time devising some way
of punishing Standard Oil wrh

The friends of secretary Taft
and Senator Faraker are having
a lively scrimage for the delegates
to the next National Republican
convention. It is admitted that
Secretary Taft has the better of
the situation, for he is a man o'
the people, and will ira":e
corporations "obey the law"even
if he has to put some of their
millionaire officials in "stripes "
Foraker is an able man, but if he
were elected President, the plun
dering of the people by the cor
porations would undoubtedly go
on unmolested. It is to be pre
sumed that Roosevelt supporters
not only in Ohio, but all over the
country, will demand Taf t's nom
ination.
