The la-ge crowd which attended the Chinese social given at the E church parlors by the ladies of that denomination last Friday night, almost imagiced tney were getting a genuine glimpse of China from the oriental paraphernalia that aboundel everywhere. A large part of the crowd were in full Chinese co9tume. In the tea room tea and rice were partaken of while resting upon the cushions which were placed in a row around the room, and old and young, large and small were forced to this seat upon the lloor, or no tea.

The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Cowan died on last Saturday, Jan. 18, with scarlet fever and diphtheria. Little Eulla was a bright little girl. She was two years, seven mocths*old. It seemed as though she suffered death rleht from the start, the doctor doing all he could to restore little Eulla to health, but all was in vain. She was laid to rest in the Liberty cemetery on last Sunday by undertakers Galey and Vancleave. of Wingate. She leaves father, mother, two sisters and a host Of friends to mourn for her. But father and mother, don't grieve, your loss is her gain. She is only waiting to welcome you home where all will be well.

HAVANA,

The party at Mace. Saturday night wus well attended. The protracted meetings at the M. E. church are still continuing with live more additions, namely. Mr. and Mrs. Shumaker, Romolus Minnich, Charles Lookridgo and Gold a Engle.

E za Iledenbaugh. the hustling business college agent, seems to think that the street car line which was to have 1 uu down the state road, should have had at least run from Clark's station to .\laco, which would have been a great accommodation to him especially in the winter time.

Mace has been a remarkably quiet, town since the goose-nibble outbreak until this week, when a haunted house is reported to be creating much excitement among the school children and young people traveling from Mace to Linnsburg after dark. I said a haunted house but it is rather a blacksmith shop. This shop, which is owned by T. A. Armstrong and operated by Jas. Lane, is reported to be visited every evening about dusk by a mysterious figure clad in female attire, who makes her trip with solemn steps into the cellar under the shop, and after a short stay will emerge from her underground retreat and resume her journey around the shop. Sometimes the mysterious figure stops and seems to be listening or waiting for someone, but always maintains a perfect silence and ghosthire actions. Just what the mysterious figure Is cannot be determined. Some of the aged and superstitious people of the sleepy little village are inclined to think that it is a spirit from the old country just across the road which Can not rest in peace, while the more learned sages and scholars give other opinions. The matter has been placed in the hands of a detective and the case will probably be brought to light in the future.
