and in less than an hour a verdict
had been agreed upon. The verdict
found tne defendant guilty as charg

ELKS HOLD SOCIAL SESSION
The Evening Hours Pleasantly
Spent in the Hall.
The Klks were hosts last evening
to a large crowd in their elegant
lodge room over tii* Citizens Ra
tional Hank The men who wear
the antlers gave a social session
complimentary to their families and
friends and the event was highly en
joyed by all present. The hall was
neatly decorated in autumn leaves,
chrysanthemum· and green vines
on which were clusters of red ber
ries. The Elks were on hand in
goodly numbers and each vied with
the other in tendering the guests a
hearty welcome and making the
evening one round of pleasure for
them. There was a number of
tables in the hall on which various
games were indulged in, and there
were several interesting and ex
citing contests over the chess and
domino boards. The ever fascinat
ing game of flinch was not neglected
and several interesting games were
played. Th^billiard tables can;'· in
for their share of attention and
some close scores were strung up.
Those who w"re not atttacted by
the _r:iiiies spent th*> hours pleasant
ly in conversation and listening to
t'.'· delightful music dispensed by
the Wise Orchestra. 11 is orgat
zation of musician> is too well
known to :i.e people of W'axahachie
to need any additional praise. The
fact of th«-ir engagement to play at
any kind of a function is a guaran
tee that the music will be of the
very highest class.
Fruit nectar and champagne waf
ers were served bv Mr. Lex Mere
dith, Miss Mary Hrowning, Miss
Hertha Kearis and Miss Annie Mai
Erwin. Exactly at 11 o'clock the
Elks gathered round a table and
each with a small glass of water
drank to the health of absent
brothers.
The social session was a irreat
success and w;»* thoroug lye: oyed
by every one present.
