THOUSANDTH MILE
STONE PASSED.
Edwin Johnson Keeps in the
Lead—Some of Those Who
Lagged Are Coming to
the Fore.
Edwin Johnson . 1014

December 2d witnessed the
longest strides yet taken in the
baby race, and while Edwin
Johnson continues in the lead by
several lengths and passes the
one thousand mile stone, several
members of the field have made
strong gains and are now well
up in the front rank.
Master Ernest Theodore Phil
lips has made the most remark
able gain of the event, and is
now a close second to the leader.
But while Nos. 1 and 2 are mak
ing such record time little Miss
Dorothy Stephens has jumped
upward to dispute the leadership
of the boys and takes third rank.
There are many changes in the
vote today as totaled above, and
a friend of Miss Thelma Smart
has complimented her with an
additional 25. Probably all the
entries are now in and the race
is on for the honors of sweetness
and beauty. Three weeks from
tomorrow tells the story and de
clares the winner.
P^SOaETY''j
The weekly meeting of the
Clover club was held with Mrs.
W. W. McMinn Thursday after
noon from the hours of 2:30 to
5 o’clock.
It was decidedly the most
pleasant meeting of this social
club this season, and was largely
attended by its membership and
will be another pleasant memory
in the hearts of its members. A
luncheon consisting of chicken
salad, escaloped oysters, olives,
pickles and coffee was nicely
served*
The guests at this meeting
were Mesdames Burt Arnold of
Batesville, Josephine Branden
burg, G. A. Hillhouse, Ike Gold
man, E. L. Maris, Miss Florence
Goldman of St. Louis, and the
club members were Mesdames
Geo. R. Hays, L. Hirsch, Jas. L.
Jones, R. B. and Wm. Hooker,
W. W. Dutton, A. D. and Wm.
Bailey.
MAJORITY AND PLURALITY.
A democrat of Jonesboro, says
the Times-Enterprise, bet a
prominent republican $20 to $15
that Folk would get a majority of
20,000 votes in Missouri, and of
course the republican won; while
i Folk’s plurality over Walbridge
was 30,000, yet his majority was
only 15,000. The democrat con
tends that he has won and has
entered suit for the $35 which
was turned over to the republi
can. It was simply a case of
I “he didn’t know the difference
! of majority and plurality. The
republican is a tonsorial artist
and the democrat was on the po
lice force not long a^o.”
