One of the pleasantest love feasts

ever held in the Wayne county court louse was held this noon wiien the present county officials and the offi-ciale-elect gathered in the G. A. R. rooms and were the guests at a ban

quet given by the feminine employes j

of the court house. For a long time it looked as though the usual banquet and social gathering would not be held as political arguments took on an unfavorable aspect. Realizing the situation the girl clerks of the county offices started and carried out a program which introduced a feeling of good will and. harmony. More tfian thirty officials attended the banquet and enjoyed the hospitality. Among those present were: A . R. Albertson, A. N. Chamness, Homer Tar low, V. J. RobbinB, L. A. Bowman, r?. N. Beeson, Albert Anderson, T. I. "lliam Mathews, George Mat..hua Allen, Will W. Reller, Levi . eacock, Albert Steen, Jacob Bayer, James Martin, Clarence Mote, Lindley Swain, J. F. Holiday, C. O. Williams, James Haworth, B. B. Myriek and B. F. Parsons. Those who planned the feast were Arva Jackson, Alice Griffin, Oliver Bowman, Grace Smith, Mary Highley, Erma McMath, Klizabeth Ireton, Maryj Males, Vira Benton and Don Fuller-" " After the banquet the idea of household economy was carried out and all the poor families in the vicinity of the court house were carried food which was left from the feast, by the girls. "Don't you want something to eat" one of the girls asked of a poor colored man whose tattered clothes indicated that he might have been playing the part of Uncle Tom who was met on a back street near the court house. He responded in the affirmative nd was given a meal of which he said he had never had an equal. He blessed the young lady who went on her way to the Associated Charity rooms on South Fifth street with the remainder of the contents of her basket.

HUSBAND IN JAIL; WIFE ASKS DIVORCE A petftlort for divorce was filed by iTtoslo Mulholland against John Mulh oil and on the grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment. Mulholland was sentenced to the county jail for assaulting his wife on Thanksgiving evening, lie told his children they Vould have to buy flowers for some tn and then purchased a revolver at Ja second hand store and went to his Itome ln search of his wife. Urgent appeals to the police for protection 1 probably saved the woman's life.

piano has been purchased for the primary department. This presentation took place Sunday morning. In the near future the remainder of the fund is to be used for the purchase of a piano for the beginners department. Another feature of yesterday's session of St. Paul's Sunday school was the union service in which the members of all three departments partici

pated. Sunday night the new church officers were installed before a large congregation. The following are the Sunday school officers: Ed Hasemeier, superintendent of main department; Miss Anna M.

FOR FIVE DOLLARS Brutal Tragedy Occurs on a Tennessee Plantation Near Memphis. (National Xews Association) MEMPHIS, Tenn.. Dec. SO. Robbers entered the home of William B. Fox, living on a plantation at Polk's Landing, a few miles south of Memphis, on the Mississippi, cut Mr. Fox's throat, knocked his wife's brains out with an ax, stabbed a nineteen year old son, shot the negro cook, left a small baby in its cradle, stole ?5 and two horses and made their escape. Fox's home Is near the river bank. When the steamer James Lee landed "there Captain Bender saw the front door half open and heard a dog howling. Investigation revealed the dead bodies. A posse with bloodhounds tracked the murderers to a point where they crossed from Tennessee to rkaxuA -wbei the trial was lost.

One of the most successful years the poor people of the city have ever pass

ed through is the year of 1912 according to Township Trustee James Howorth. Fewer case9 of poverty were reported to the trustee's office this year than last, according to the inancial report being made out by Mr. Haworth. In 1911, $3,945 was expeded and this year in spite of the increased population approximately $3830 was paid out through the office to poor families. "Of course there are old families which we have to support regularly

but as a whole the poor were never in better shape than they are at present" said Mr. Haworth. "The factories are all working their utmost capacity and there is work for every able-bodied man or woman who will seek it. We have the same unworthy class of people in many cases who come to the office for money and want us to support them. Many of them would be better off if they knew there was no way they could live if they did not work. They would work if it was a case of that or starve."

When asked as to his idea of how the market house stalls should be let, Mr. Kauffman said he believed the stalls should be let at a uniform price and believes the council w-ill take such action. "There are fewer market tenders than there were last year when the market tenders paid rental for their stalls," said Kauffman. "There is no reason why the city can not be deriving revenue from the market house instead of losing money by it. We ought to at least put it on a basis so that it would pay its own maintenance."

He did not support his family according to the prosecutor. He was implicated in chicken stealing which has been a great annoyance to farmers in the vicinity of Fountain City, it is said.
