From about the middle of Deeem-
iber to the end of March—Theodore
Roosevelt will sojourn in the wilds
of South America. Arrangements for
this end of the colonel’s South Amer-
ican trip, have been announced. Col-
onel Roosevelt will sail from New
York October 4 and will spend about
two months visiting Brazil, Argen-
tina, Chile and Paraguay cities. In
these countries he will be the gov-
ernment’s guests and will deliver sev-
eral formal addresses. Late in De-
cember a steamer will leave him and
his party of naturalists at Cuyaba.
Brazil, the head of navigation on the
Paraguay river, and at that point the
hardships of the journey will begin.
The closing days of the extra ses-
sion of the Tennessee legislature weie
in such a turmoil over prohibition leg-
islation and other matters that the
Speaker adjourned the body to avert
bloodshed. The speaker, Stanton F.
Hurr, made this statement concern-
ing his adjournment of the house:
“I know, or had reason to know, that
members on the floor of the house
were armed. The house was in the
wildest throes of turmoil and disor
der. In the gallery to the right were
all of the penitentiary guards in a
most threatening attitude while near
them, with guns drawn, were John
Yeman and a man named Garrett.
These two men were near pillars,
ready to pick me or some one else off.
Feeling that the lives of the men
were in danger, I did adjourn, as any
presiding officer would and should
have done.” Gov. Hooper has recall-
ed the legislature to convene October
13 in a second extraordinary session
to consider the prohibition law en-
forcement bills which were defeated
in the first session.
THE WORLD WILL NEVER
STARVE.
Says the Texas Commercial Sec-
retary’s Association:
“At no time since Adam and Eve
were driven from the Garden of Eden
have the inhabitants of this world
suffered froin lack of production, but
some people have gone hungry from
the day of creation to this good hour
for the lack of proper distribution.
Slight variations in production have
forced a change in diet, and one lo-
cality has felt the pinch of want,
while another surfeited, but the world
as a whole, has ever been a land of
plenty.
“We now have lesR than one-tenth
of the tillable land of the earth’s sur-
face under cultivation, and we not
only have thig surplus area to draw
on but it is safe to estimate that in
case of dire necessity one-half of the
earth’s population coaid, at the pres-
ent time, knock their living out of
the trees of the forests, gather it
from wild vines and draw it frjn
streams No one should become
alarmed; the world will never starve.”

bonnets, one is red, the other white.

meet with Mrs. T. J. White Wed-
nesday October 8th at 4:30 o’clock.
It is the annual election of officers
and all members are urged to be
present.
Mesdames Jane Robbins and Lucy
Medley were honor guests at a love-
ly birthday dinner at the home of
the former’s daughter, Mrs. J. P.
Morris on Monday, The occasion was
one of great pleasure to these ven-
erable Christian women as well as to
the daughter who made the affair
possible. Mrs. Rbbbina received a
number of nice mementos on this her
86th anniversary.
Mrs. John Shield was very ingeni-
ous in planning a complete surprise
for her husband on Tuesday evening.
The affair was in honor of his birth-
day anniversary and took the nature
of a forty-two party when two tables
of players were engrossed in the ever
popular game. After a jolly good
time and the service of a refreshing
ice course, Messrs. Charlton and Fen-
ton Brown, M. M. Stubblefield, Hen-
ry Warren, Jesse Livingston, Will
Bowers and M. H. Hamlin were the
departing guests who thanked Mrs.
Shield for the evening’s invitation
and wished for their friend and host
many more recurring birthdays.
Miss Billy B. Hughes was hostess
to a delightful meeting of the “As
You Like It” club Tuesday afternoon
from 4 ..to 6........A «oi*te»t “A' stttPff
Tin time saves nine” and the game of
Rook were the amusements that pro-
vided uninterrupted joy for the mem-
bers and Misses Ruth Mae Gilliland,
Margie and Zenith Van Hoose. Misses
Aleene White and Laura Strong play-
ed high in the rook game, the latter
also receiving the contest prize which
was a pretty ribbon pin cushion. TK-
afternoon closed with the service of
a tempting repast consisting of chic-
ken salad, olives, wafers, bread and
butter sandwiches and steaming hot
chocolate. The next meeting will be
with Miss Imogene Newsom.
The Lily Bridge club met with Mrs.
C. F. Dumas on the afternoon of
Thursday last, which of itself is an
assurance that the meeting was one
of success. Despite the slow rain-
fall a full roster of guests were wel-
comed in a cordial and gracious man-
ner by the hostess at the appointed
hour. Amid a setting of nodding
ferns and stately geraniums, three
tables were placed around which the
twelve enthusiasts enjoyed a great
game and mingled again in happy
accord and good cheer. Six games
made the contest, the prize a lovely
piece* of the hostess’ handiwork very
properly going to Mrs. B. A. Fessels
who played high. A salad course
with an ice was very tastefully serv
ed. There were cheese sandwiches,
olives, flakes, chicken salad and an
apricot ice. After good-byes were
said the Club members and Misses
Helen Starkweather, Nelle Polk and
Weida Mooris were guests who de-
parted with naught but pleasant rec-
ollections of the most pleasant affair.
The little Misses Mary Ella and
Mabel Gray were the charming little
hostesses who received the Rook club
members Saturday last. In pretty
party frocks these little maidens were
ag dainty as little fairy elves and
gliding from place to place dispensed
the hospitality of the hours in a man-
ner worthy an elder. Six games
were played with little Misses Louise
and Dorothy Aston, Isola Chadwell,
Sarah Newsom, Girlie Hubert, Irene
Broad, Mattie Fae Nash, Tma Ruby
Garrett, Mary Frances Martin, Gla-
dys Ledford of Talpa, and Frances
Lou McClellan, as guest of hone,-.
Mesdames Claude McClellan, N. S.
Aston and Myrtle Woodward were
the mothers invited and allowed to
renew their youth. After the serv-
ice of angel and fruit and feather
cake and lemon ice every one left
expressing regrets that the hours
had been so short and wishing the
time would soon come when these
little Misses would be hostess again.
On Friday afternoon Mrs. Leman
Brown opehed her nretty little cot-
ta ?o home on Commercial Avenue, to
a r f-eting of the Sixteen club and
it is needless to add that tha meet-
ing was one of enjoyment through-
out Three rooms were thrown en-
suite making spacious provision for
the six tables, about which the play-
ers were seated when again progres-
sive forty-two oroved acceptable di-

away with the light and innocent
merriment. Upon entering one felt
as though they were in a beautiful
forest, a lavish arrangement oil pine

lending their beauty and fragrance
to the whole. While in th/e dining
hall there was a deviation/!rom the
general decorative motif^Kere, a buf-
fet banking of morning-glories com-
bined their varied colors, making
their corner a lovely bower indeed.
Pieces of pine bark of quaint shapes
and various sizes were provided for
each, the score being kept thereon.
