Mr. Ilcnry Reynolds, in {hist
Dougherty, made one of those “good”

and country truck world without end.
Ah long as Southwest Georgia has
such men in her borders we may not
fear the future.
in our Christmas slip we failed to
mention the entertainment which
Mrs. M. A. Tlionibury tendered her
pupils on the evening of the 24th inst.
It is spoken of as one of the most de
lightful of the season, anil Mrs.
Thornbury may well congratulate
herself upon its success. One of the
most charming and pleasant parts of
the evening was the lime occupied by
the Calisthenic class of Miss Rosa
Weslow when it was “before the
footlights,” so to speak, going through
the different angles of exercise with
musical precision and beauty.
The festival for the benefit of the
Kpiscopul Sunday school children last
Friday night at Mr. Mitchell’s house
wiis an entire and complete success.
The little lads ami lassies enjoyed it
very much, and will doubtless in their
memory often revert to It. A good
many matrons were there to look
over and arrange matters, and every
thing was done for the children that
could possibly be thought of. In the
evening the young ladies and gentle
men of the city took charge of “things
in general” at the house, and had a
pleasant dance.

New Year Calls.
A general reception of gentlemen
guest upon the first dny of the new
year by the ladies of almost overy
household, is an old Knickerbocker
custom, which obtained first in New
York, and wns observed in that State
almost without innovation, up to
about ten years ago. Since that time
it lias been observed with moro or
less eclat, not only in New York, but.
throughout the union
Tho custom is a very beautiful ono
and with tlio oxception of some little
inconveniences attending its observ
ance, is ono of great pleasure, both to
those receiving and thoso who call.
One of tlio inconsistencies we refer
lo is the elaborate preparation which
almost every lady who receives fools
called upon to make.
The custom wns fully observod in
Albany last evening, and the gentle
men tip tlieir lints mid make their
prettiest Chesterfieldinn bow in re
cognition of tlio Inippv and elegant
ninniicr in which they were received.

A Pleasant Entertalnnent’at.Leary.
One of our agents aud reporters
had tlio pleasure of being present at
an entertainment given iu Leary,.last
Friday evening, by Mr..and Mrs. J.
C. Nelson, to a numbor of their friends
and acquaintances. Our reporter en
joyed it hugoly, and is of the candid
opinion that it was^the “boas” ftin
tlio season to all present. The ladles
were ail dressed their handsomest
looked their prettiest, end talked their
sweetest, and the gentlemen, they
were aufait iu true chivalry and po
lite attention. Many were the de
lightful dances indulged in by both
old aud young, married and unmar
ried. The company was invited to
■he dining'hall at about twelve, and
regaled with a supper that would
have been a feast to Roman Gods, ao
complete it was in every good thing
of sea and land. Alter that pleasant
moments swiftly fled until the “wee
(ins’ hours” of the night told the
merry-makers that it was time to “go
home with the girls in ]the morning.
