REPUBLICANS RAnFT.
The Republican ratification in Flora Saturday night waa an extem¬ poraneous atfair, but none tbe less, a big success.
A parade, eonaisting of tbe Flora iiand, tbe ammunition aqnad, a dandy float on a truck witb a pat- .^.JHotic crowd from the Baltimore A "^hio freight depot, chaperoned by Mr. and Mra. B. M. Winka. Two more large Ooats, oas from tbe Sax- C -tna factory, aad'tka othar troat' the J. F. lUxwell wholesale boose, fol¬ lowed, carrying appropriately word¬ ed banners and flags. Then came MyrI Oahan hi his roadater, with four passangers—a goat and three young Democrats. Harold Hogan, Barl Dykins and Warren Smith, the Iioys carrying banners lettered: "We are the Three." Tli« parade atarted at 8 o'clock, with a brilliant display of fireworks, banners and Old Olory floating proudly in the breese. The procession was led by a real live young elephant, brought here from Salem on a big motor truck by Hon. Charles L. McMackln, with an enthu- fliafttic escort, namely, Mrs. McMaek¬ in. Miss Helen McMaekin, Charles McMaekin, Jr., Mr. and Mra. R. L. Stanley, Mr. and Hrs. Lnclan Beas¬ ley,- Sapator and Mra. B. D. Telford and Jpughter, C. R. Metealf and CbaiNS Lamont. Mr. Lamont is owner of the fine patriotic tour-year- old repreaentative of tbe Orand Old Party, that led the parade, that was a credit to those who arranged it.
The floats were ffiiSd witb enthu¬ siastic men and women, in coatumes that were both attractive and becom¬ ing for the Joyous occasion. We failed to learn the natfa ot the yonng man witb glowing red whiakers, wbo revieaented James Hamilton Lewis, late candidate for governor of Illinois, or course, the young man waa "only kidding," but not as a success.
Briakcing up the rear, meekly witb slow, sad steps, were two small "donkeys," but well behaved and so far as could be noticed, bad no "kick coming" because of the way the elec¬ tion had gone. While passing Throgmorton's store, some fellow sang out, "Rah for' Wilson," but there waa no responsive "bray."
The brilliant procession finally N oalled a halt in front of the Prince drug store, where the large crowd massed, filling a full block and lis¬ tened to a splendid addross by Con¬ gressman T. S. Williams, who wae followed by Hon. Chas. L. McMack¬ ln, state senator elect, E. D. Telford and Randolph Smitb. The speakere were unanimous in expressing the opinion that Mr. Harding wonid make an ideal president and that the Republican eongress. would stand un- anlinoosly with him for constructive legislation along all lines for the iiest interest of the country.
FINE DISPIiAY AT STREET FAIR.
, The display ot agricultural and bortieultural produ<its, at the eom- munity fair, held in Flora three days of last week, is pronounced hy Judges to be the best exhibit ever aaen in this county and one that would do credit to any community. But, it we are to judge by statemenu made by some who .ilalined that they had raised this year, better corn, wheat, oats, apples, '.pears and all kinda of vegetablies, than vas shown, v(e tailed to see the best. People who make these claims didn't think to bring in what' the/ had. Well, there will lie another chance, when you can pnt up or slpit up.

At time of going to press last week tliere were three or tour states about which there was considerable doubt bnt all of these aave Kentucky, final¬ ly landed in the Harding column. Montana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Tennessee were extremely doubtful, but are Harding states, not only on preaident, but on U. 8. senator. Tenneaaee also elected a Republican goveraor.
Tbe final electoral vot* is as fol¬ lows: Harding,'47 states, with ««4 electors; Oa, 11 sUtes, wttb 1S7 electors. ti4f |Aw accerding to tbe Ubie we bad. in t»e Record laat we^k, and that table is npw established aa correct.

One of the most delightful Flora social events of this week was the annual Hallowe'en meeting ot Charles B. Hemphill's Sunday aebool elasa, held in tiie basement of tlie M. B. church, Wedneaday, November Sr 2S members ot this wide-swake class with s tew invited guests com¬ posed the happy gathering, that will long be rememliered. Tlie forepart of the evening was spent in social convevaation, until Mrs. Terhune Mrs. Tonney and Miss Torrence pro¬ posed a sceance "Led by the Spirit." Bveryone waa requested to observe profound aileaeB and wait for (he medium to appear and shake bandf with at least three especially favor¬ ed ones. This proceeded tor awhile to the silent amazement and Incom¬ prehensibility of all present until Meryl Oaiian discovered how to lie a spirit himself with the asaistanee of Ad Russell. Atter that the ladles did not have "the ghost of a show," tr hallucinate the innocent ones. About 9 o'clock the arrival of Mr. Hemp¬ hill, who announced that refresh¬ ments were ready to serve to the din¬ ing room, disiiluaioned tb^ aaaembly and all went straightway lo perform the pleasant taak of doing a full part, towards a slight of hand contest in which well fried weiners, cheese sandwich rolls, pickles and hot cof¬ fee were made to disappear with a rapidity, the like of wblcb lias never been excelled tn any town the sUe of Flora.
The balance of the evening, we would say, until aometime early Thursday morning was speat in plays and having a general good tima.
Many compllmenta were beatowed upon Mrs. Cooper, preaident of the class; Hiss Minnie B. Cole, the seo- retary. and their able aaalstants for such an enjoylble evening.
RITTH ROLAND AGAIN AT THB OPERA.
It has been some tlihe since Ruth Roland iias been seen at the opera, but the management advises that her latest serial, "Ruth of the Rockiea," will begin Monday, Nov. SSnd, fol¬ lowing "Dare-Devil Jack."
Mias Roland numners her friends and adfmirers by the millions—In fact there are very few motion pic¬ ture fans who do not put her at the head of tbe list of serial favorites. She has youth and beauty to an un¬ usual degree, and when it .oomes to feats of daring, and thrills, she is unsurpassed.
Miss Roland will be rememt(.ered for her apleadid work tn "The'Ad¬ ventures of Ruth" and "Hands Up." "Ruth of ths Rockies" is her latest, it being not entirely completed yet. It contains thrills galore. In addition to the beautiful scenery of our own Rocky mountains.
Fatty Arbuckle will also be shown in "He Did and He Didn't.," and Snub Pollard In another of his fun- aiaat eomedies in addition to the firat episode of "Ruth of the Rockies" on Monday, Nov. 22nd.
