Friends Surprise Miss
Ethel Foster
Mrs. J. M. Turner Serves
A jolly bunch of the friends of Miss
Ethel Foster, desiring to give her some
of her bouquets while she is yet alive,
greatly surprised her on her birthday,
Feiruiry Ist. They secreted them
selves at Mrs. Jessie Turner’s home, 187
Pearl street and then sent Miss Foster a
rather distressing call in order to insure
her response. Miss Foster responding,
walked into the surprise of her life.
Wh n she had recovered from the shock
she asked to be permitted to return
home and dress.
Upon Miss Foster’s return many a
musements were entered into and Mrs.
T oner’s new cable piano greatly enliv
ened the occasion. The persons mak
ing up the party were: Mr. and Mrs.J.
M. Turner, Miss Ethel Foster, Mrs. Lil
lie Fields, Mr. and Mrs. Matth s How
ell, Mr. and Mrs. John Battle, Mesd ones
John Sims, Chaney Barnett, La Pearl
Smith, Mamie Harden, Blannie Mae
Foster, Katie Thomas, Misses Madeline
West, Hazel Sals, Laura Whale s,
Jessie Badger, Messrs. Clarance Ken
drick, James Norflett, James Davis,
Wm. and Samuel Finley, Charles Shaw
and Lore’ zo Reid.
A menu of chicken salad, saltine
crackers and hot chocolate was served.

On the prominent hill top at 646 Mad

in agreeable evidence things are
getting more evident with the passing

are making *‘gu gu eyes at that house.
350 River street, has gotten into the
limelight of late. Several “Kuoxites”
who get permission to come to the city
and shop, shop rigtit ou down to this
place. Shop on, boys, “The water is
fine.”
Don’t “jam” your business, boys. If
you don’t think the girls are wise
enough to catch you ask a certain young
professor.
140 SECOND STRHET. This num
ber which has hitherto been unknown,
promises henceforward to be as conspic-
THE ATHENS REPUBLIQUE
uous as Washington Monument. It
may be that the young chevaliers will(
endeavor to induce the city to build a
bridge across the river at Strong street,
making a short cut to that place. They
tell me that a “maiden fair is there”
whose winsomeness is not second to
that of the ancient Cleopatra. Ask the
“Towers.”
On February 3d Miss Marion Hill, of
297 Third street, entertained a merry
bunch of visitors at her home. They
were: Messrs. Samuel and Wm Finley,
John Hightower, Misses Susie Mae Har
ris, Emily Sherfield, Lillie Barnett and
David Glenn.
It is rumored that life is soon to be
sweeter than honey and the honeycomb
for all wk i abide at 497 Third street.
We wonder from what source this grow
eth in happiness shall come.
The momentum of events moving to

The approval all smiles upon you.

I received the piper for two weeks,

having you send it. She had heard me
say that I was going to write you about

Please let me know how I shall send
you the money. For I surely want the
paper, although it gives me the “Geor
