home of the bride’s grand-moth

The ceremony" was performed
by Rev. Albert’S. Dix, pastor of
the Perry Baptist church.
Relatives and friends attended
from Byron, Fort Valley, Hender
son, Perry and near Dennard.
The popularity of the bride and
groom was pleasingly attested by
the many beautiful and useful
presents.
The decorations were tasteful
and pretty.
After congratulations had been
cordially extented, the happy
pair with a few friends departed
for Henderson, where Mr. and
Mrs. Hardison are at home in a

Birthday Party.
On March the third, little Miss
Norine Swanson entertained a
large company of her friends at
her sixth birth-day party.
Simple games of contest were
enjoyed. Little Miss Issio Lee
Dix won the prize in the first
game,—a box of Nunnally’s can
dy. In the second game little
Miss Harriet Robeson of Marriet-
ta, won the prize,—a necklace of
six pink candy hearts.
In cutting the cake, little Miss
Louise Holtzolaw made the lucky
cut and received a silver thimble.
As we looked in the bright
young faces of the little guests,we
felt that Mrs. Swanson must have
borrowed from the roses and lilies
blooming there, the color scheme
of pink and white which was so
beautifully carried out in the' dec
orations and dainty refreshments.
The favors were boii-bons in
boxes lined with pink crepe paper
made to represent roses.
Those present were:
• Clifford and John Powers, Ben
0. Holtzolaw, Jr., Frank and Eth
el Nunn, Clifford Heard, Louise
and Katharine Holtzolaw, Har
riet and Mary Robeson of i Mari
etta, Lee Minor Paul, Jr,, Caro
line and Helen Cater, Ruth and
Joseph Gilbert, Thornton Marsh-
burn, Ruth, Nell, Issie Lee and
Francis Dix, Corinne Duncan and
Emily Wimpey. Repoter.
The Spinsters’ Club.
On Friday afternoon Mrs. Hugh
Lawson entertained the Spinsters
at a Washington tea.
In this charming entertainment
the pleasure of the ladies of the
Club were embraced by the pres
ence of a large number of mat
rons.
A pleasent game, in which Miss
Annie Holleman was the winner,
was enjoyed by all.
A picture of Washington, a
oherry tree and hatchet and nu
merous flags were among the ap-
propriatl decorations. 1
Doilies, folded like cocked hats,
a little flag in each, followed by
refreshments that suggested the
good old days of long ago, were
served to each guest.
All noted this a delightful oc
casion. Secretary.
