NO R ACE SUICIDE HERE :
The race euicide is predominant in
Union county cannot be said, for, since
the law requiring all births to be register
ed with the county clerk , was in effect
May 18, 1905, there have been reported
82 births. Of the 82 births in the six
and one-half months 36 were male and
48 females. The average family, of
Union county, according to this record is
a trifle less than three children to the
family, although the record shows many
familiss have 10, 12 and even 13 living
children.
Another amusing, or perhaps we had
better say, interesting fact shown by the
record, is that a very large per cent of
the children are born between midnight
and seven o'clock in the morning. The
number .diminishes as the day passes
until at (pur o'clock there are but few
born. f . . . s
Union county is growing and it does
not have to wait until these babies grow
up either.
MISS GEORGIA HARPER IN "CAMILLE
The Georgia Harper Company opened
their engagement here last night Tie
play being presented was "Camille." a
very powerful one of fite acts, and to
say it was well presented would be put
ting it mildly. Georgia Harper's Camille
was superb. She is a beautiful woman
and has splendid talent two qualifica
tions seldom found in an actress of today.
She played her part in a faultless man
ner and held the interest of the audience
from etart to finish. Her magnificent
costumes were the finest ever seen here.
