LINEN SHOWER.
The social event of Saturday

the daintiest compliment yet paid
the charming honoree and bride

bells, had each their share in
the artistic effects, produced
throughout the house. The
color scheme was red and green,
and this combination of colors
was carried out in table decora
tions and in the ices, which was
one course of an elegant luncheon.
Several piano selections were
rendered and added further to
the delightful occasion. The
daintily bedecked parasol con
tained many and exquisite pieces
of handwork, which was show
ered upon the honored guest of
the occasion.
The charming young hostess
was ably assisted in her duties
by her two sisters, Mrs. E. L.
Boyce and Miss Hester Phillips.

TWO MORE CANDIDATES.
OFFERS FOR SECOND TERM.
The Independent is authorized
to announce Mr. E. L. Boyce as
a candidate for county judge.
He has made a splendid record
and deserves the endorsement
of a second term.
While his administration has
been marked by conservatism
i -l l_1___
ana ecuiiumj, il nao
gressive, and the county was
never in better financial condi
tion, yet improvements have
been the order of the day, and a
handsome stone jail building,
badly needed for many years,
will remain a monument to his
spirit of progress. His high
character, present administra
tion of the officer, together with
the friends he has made by a
; pleasant and accommodating dis
! position, make him, perhaps, an
j invincible candidate.
