The place is completely surrounded by syca mores. “Mr. Houser is one of the most substantial men in southwest Geor gia, and his wife is a brilliant and thoroughly charming woman. “The guests were: Miss Kittie Mae Williams of Fort Valley, Misses Clifford and Julia Willis of Walden, Misses Lula and Mamie Houser of Perry, Miss Pearl Clark of Walden, Miss Mattie Clark of Macon, Misses Allie and Lizzie Houser, Mr. John Allen, Mr. Joe Newsome, Mr. Ed ward Clark, Mr. and Mrs. A.

Nearly seven years ago while Prof. Powell was principal of the famous school at Arabi, he was called to the pastorate of the Baptist church here.

His experience in the Hous ton High school at Arabi, and in Monroe college at Forsyth, proves him a most acceptable teacher. We congratulate ourselves espe cially as we could not have secur ed his valuable services except for the fact that his church relations are down in this section. He speaks of buying a farm near town and becoming a life citizen among us. The trustees are at work along all lines to make an excellent school and all indica tions are favorable to the enter Claud Items. Reception to a Houston Bride.
