that one of the most impressive sights
of the c invention was the assembly of
veterans in blue jeans suits made by
the Augusta women, and in wh'ch they
gave a drill on Broad street. “Those
suits were an eloquent object lesson,”
said Mrs. Harris, ‘on the privations of
men and the resources of women during
those- strenuous war days.”

THE HOME TRIBUNE. TUESDAY OCTOBER jSSH
THE LANIER CIRCLE
First Meeting of Autumn Season Was
Held Last Night
FEATURES OF EYESING’S PROGRAM
Excellent Musical Program and Two Papers
Bead— Next Meeting; on Thlid
Monqay in November.
The Lanier Circle, the most distin
guished of Rome’s literary organiza
tions, held its opening session of the
autumn season last night at the resi
dence of Capt. and Mrs. John C.
Printup.
The program which was an interes
ting one was brilliantly rendered.
Dr. A. J. Battle, the president, pre
sided with his characteristic courte
sy and pleasing manner.
Miss Miriam Revnolde delighted the
members by opening the program
with a beautifully rendered solo.
Later she sang another solo, “The
Valley,” by Gounad. Her voice is
highly cultivated, is sweet and well
modulated, is under most perfect con
trol and she sings with admirable con
fidence and self possession.
“Bygone Days’* was a solo rendered
by Mr. Will McWilliams. He has a
remarkable voice both in power and
in fine tones. If it were cultivated it
would bring him much greater fame
than he now has. Miss Annie Per
kins sang “A Bud of Roses” in a
pleasing style and was warmly ap
plauded. Her voice is dear and sweet
and she sings with much precision.
Miss Alida. Printup who has attained
mueh celebrity throughout this section
as a violinist rendered one of Chaopin’s
Nocturne and an opera aria in a style
that delighted all, and won her lavish
applause. Miss Printup is assuredly one
of the South’s most brilliant violinists,
and deserves all the high praise which
has been bestowed upon her.
The two literary numbers of the even
ing were a sketch of Charlemagne by
Hughes Reynolds and a summanry of
correct events by Mrs. W, J. Neel. Mr.
Reynold’s paper was well pi epared and
showed Charlemagne’s life from every
Standpoint. Mrs. Neel’s review covered
all happenings from the Greaco-Turkish
war to the release or Miss Cisneros and
death of Editor Dana. It was very
cleverly written. Os the New York
political situation she wrote: “The race
is between Wyck and Low” parentheti
cally. “Tha’t is what my husband says.”
One new member was elected on motion
of Mrs. John C. Printup, and the circle
adjourned until November 15 when it
will meet with Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Neel.
Bridal Party to Be Entertained.

fnade preparations for the most elaborate
anl expensive funeral ever known among
the colored people of Rome.
Ida Shelton’s busband was killed on
the lailroad some years ago, and she

she could well afford a costly funeral.
The dead woman’s body was embalm
ed, and an exquisite casket was secured
for $225. The burial robe was of the
finest and costliest material. Fifteen
carriages, the best in the city, were
secured, and the funeral yesterday morn
ing was very largely attended.
