NEW YEAR’S OPEN HOUSE A lovely social affair that tv as char¬ acterized by simple elegance and iyne hospitality was the occasion on Jan. 1st, when Mr. trd Mrs. r. . Withoft entertained at op o. house from three o’clock in the a'temOon till ten in the evening. In these busy days much of the old time hospitality and many beau¬ tiful old customs of former days have been abandoned arid the an¬ nouncement that Mr. and Mrs. With¬ oft would keep open house was re¬ ceived with a great deal of pleasure bylnany in the little Peach city. The home was attractively adorned in cut flowers and ferns and as the friends came and went, mingling their voices in happy fellowship with friends, ’mid the perfume of flowers, the occasion was one long to be re¬ membered by all who were present. Mrs. Robert Hale and Miss Katie May Williams received the guests at the door as they arrived and they were greeted in the reading room j by Mr. and Mrs. Withoft and their mother, Mrs. Withoft, of California, who speedily made everyone who called feel a cordial welcome. In the dining room Mrs. Cornelius I j Hall and Mrs. Glenmore Green poured tea and coffee from the table, which was overlaid with a Maderia lace cover and had for the central decoration a large basket of Enchant¬ ress Carnations. A bevy of charming girls assisted in serving during the afternoon and evening. They were Misses Ruth and Christine Evans, Mary Grimes, Maxwell Taylor, Marie Thomas and Ann Baird. Miss Fannie Vining served oysters with cocktail from a lovely ice bowl. In the music room a delightful pro¬ gram of piano music was rendered by Misses Elizabeth Evans and Fran¬ ces Brown during the afternoon, while the evening was enlivened by orchestras in distant cities via radio. Some seventy-five people called be- * - tween the hours of three and ten. the good brothers who were so to give the land for a harbor and light house to stand up and offer a ! camping ground. With the festival just around the corner we can’t give any time to sucking ea water. The harbor can wait, but we need the camping ground now. Don’t everyone speak at once. A dlightful informality pervaded the entire occasion, a charming feature of which wast he presence of old and young, even entire families at the same time. The Withofts’ home has been the scene of many lovely social gather¬ ings, but this occasion will be long remembered by all who called. VISITS CITY About four months ago Mr. and Mrs. Layton and five children were living in Cumberland, Md. Mr. Lay ton’s health was so bad his doctor told him he had just about.six weeks to live, so they left Maryland in a covered wagon drawn by two mules end beaded towards Morgan City, La., where Mr. Layton’s mother lives. Last Thursday they passed through Fort j Valley. On the road four months trav cling 20 to 30 miles per say, with no punctures nor blowouts during the whole trip-. They claim that the best people they have met on the road live right here in Georgia. Here’s wishing them luck and hoping Mr. Layton will regain his health in th sunny south.

We are not insinuating that folks of this community arc s : for lack of “something doing,” On the contrary, they keep the ball roll |ing to such an extent'that a dav off j would be a thing of joy. (But you i | don’t dare suggest that anyone k cvp out of anything that is of interest Peach county.) We are hardly through with one commuaitv interest before another | "pops up." The Peach Blossom Festi val just nV>\v is a glorious adventure, with everyone eager to help make it c success whether as "peanut or cueen," as one of the ladies express ( <1 it. Here’s hoping the dream will be realized. We can’t for the life of us see that restlessness and desire for experiences in the young folks around here, tliat we hear so much about in other places. Of course, npw and then there is an exception that proves the j I rule. But on the whole the young folks seem to , get , more fun f out of ,. f j outdoor sports than anything else, j ; I i They seem to prefer horse back rid ing to auto racing. In fact, horse > back riding has become quite a fad with 'he younger set and we heartily ' approve except in cases where they overdo it, as when riding up and down near churches on Sunday morn-' ings during the hour of worship. We don’t mean to criticise, we just care lots for our young folks and want them to be "just right.” If they do not care to attend church we want them to have consideration for those who do. MR. WEBSTER ON THE JOB In Webster’s wildest dreams he could never have forseen that his dictionary would be studied from cov¬ er to cover as it has since the cross word craze. There were so many words that lay idle for so many years, just no use at all for anything. Just oodles of were left untouched on the shelves. But nowadays, t’s hard to find one that hasn’t torn or ruf¬ fled backs and thumbed leaves. (), well, it’s an ill wind that blows nobody good and the crossword has certainly put some pep into the dic¬ tionary. LET’S HAVE A LOURIST CAMP Macon tells us through her paper that the tourist camp is a wonder¬ ful asset. One touris t na frHfcO.OO cash for an article bought at Christmas for a gift and we have decided that a tourist camp is the next thing that Fort Valley needs and she needs it before the Peach Blossom Festival. Who knows but some families might like to come down and hang out a few days ahead of time just to learn i how we do it'i We’d like for some of LISTENING IN ON I J I bl ; By RUTH MONCR1EF I %*&***>*•>****■*■*****■**■ j * Mr. Brooks, a Mercer student filled the Ba! ’ t,st l ’ ul|,it Sunday, both | ing and evening.
