Col. W. W. Hardy, of Senoia, will

denttothe practice his shrewdest
opponents have often felt the keen

regretting his departure we wish him
the richest harvests that attend the
labors of deserving worth.
Miss Emmie Robinson became
hostess on last Wednesday evening
In a tea-drinking in honor of Miss
Moss Harris, of Atlanta. All ap
peared in the happiest mood
and there was nothing to jar the
rippling flow of mirth. The select
company present could not help re
verting, as they gathered round the
festive board, to the Baronial ban
quets of the olden times, and wish
ing to the fair and accomplished
hostess many a happy Christmas.
The social pleasures and the sumpt
uous repast can not be soon for
gotten.
From all reports the hop given by
theO. N. Club on the evening of the
29th ult., was an unprecedented
success. The committee on arrange
ments had spared no pains in mak
ing all needful preparation. From
the momentVhen music first ‘-arose
with its voluptuous swell” to the dy
ing echo of the last note, “joy was
nnconfined”. Each giddy maze was
passed with Terpsichorean grace.
The appetite having been whetted
by the exercise of dancing all were
ushered into the dining hall where
the most magnificent feast was
spread which received for a time un
divided attention. At a late hour
the festivities of the evening closed,
the lights of the banquet hall were
lowered, and the hearts that erst
while were light with mirth, had
entered the realm of dreams.
On Friday night there was a so
ciable at R. D. Cole’s. The host
and his estimable wife gave those
present quite a happy surprise in
waiters ladened with the richest
viands. It is not strange that the
young people love to have their
gatherings in this home. And on
this occasion with one veice they
all voted that Uncle Duke was the
noblest of men and Annt Pink the
the womanliest of women.

With the nursery tales of how
the cattle kneel, the stars fall and
the night winds sigh when the old
year dies, engrossing their entire
thoughts, a party of young folks
gathered at Mrs. A. M. Hartsfleld’s
to experience the wierd and mistic
departure of the old and the incom
ing of the new year. As <he hour
of twelve grew near a ghostly si
lence could be felt as all watched
with intensest interest. AH are
breathless. The old clock begins
to slowly toll the knell an unex
pected and hollow sound from one
cornor of the room, which must
have been the old year’s dying
groan, broke the spell. With
a r-sh the room was about to be
most unceremoniously cleared
of both beaux and belles
without leaving one to wel
come the new year, when it was
happily discovered that one of the
youngest of the party, who had
unconsciously fallen asleep daring
the intense silence, had very
though Uess'y and most uninten
tionally snored. With a it-didn’t-
frighten-me kind of look upon
every fact-, especially that of the
gallant beaux, they all re-assem
bled; and with joyoos hearts and
laughing eyes bid an honored adieu
to the past and an all hail! to the
future year. And thus the happy
evening ended.
The dedication of the Odd Fel-
1 >w’s magnificent new hall came off
last Saturday night. The pro
gramme was well arranged for the
evening so as to make it very inter
esting for the guest as well as the
organization.
The exercises were opened by a
beautiful song.
Noble Grand Milner then arose
and made a brief speech of welcome
to those that had assembled, as well
as to the speaker of the occasion.
The Chaplain, M.. C. H. Hyde,
then envoked the Divine blessings
upon the meeting in a fencer and
fervent prayer.
The next thing on the programme
was music.
The Noble Grand then arose and
made another short speech, speak
ing of the great progress the lodge
had made, saying that it was or
ganized in 1883 with only ninetee:
members, being without a hall and
regalia, and now its membership
has reached sixty and is very pros
perous, having very fine regalia
and a beautiful new hall of their
own. And pointing out what they
were doing in ihe way of benevo
lence, which showed that they were
untiring in their desire to accom
plish good in that way. He then
had the honor of introducing to the
audience the speaker for the even
ing, Grand Master LaHatte, of
Gainesville, who arose and address
ed the audience in a very eloquent
and masterly speech, which was
listened to with intense interest.
In speaking of the lodge he said he
wished to congratulate them on
the remarKable success which
they had attained by the most un
tiring efforts to build up their lodge;
also, because it was one out of the
two lodges in the state that have a
Rebecca degree which was prepar
ed especially for the ladies, which
is also very prosperous. He made
a profound impression upon his
hearers and long will he be remem
bered by them.
Past Grand Hyde then repeated
a beautiful poem which was highly
appreciated.
The next thing on the programme
was a song, Doxology, after which
there was a social hour, which con
sisted in seve ral songs by different
young ladies, which was highly en
joyed by those present. The meet
ing then adjourned. • F

A very delightful social event
came off last Tuesday night at the
the residence of Mr. and Mrs. I. N.
Orr, in the shape of a grand and
bountiful supper and social party.
There had assembled about fifteen
young gentlemen each accompan
ied by a beautiful and entertain
ing young lady. No pains or ex
pense was spared in perfecting the
programme for the evening to make
it very enjoyable for the young pec-
pie.
At 9 o’clock the elaborate dining
room was thrown open and the
hour for supper announced, each
young gentleman accompanied by
his partner was ushered into this
apartment where a magnificent and
expensive supper had been prepar
ed, after that repast they again re
turned to the parlors and enjoyed
themselves until 12 o’clock, when
the hour of adjournment was an
nounced, then two by two the hap
py party departed, and proclaimed
it to be one of the grandest recep-
ionsthey had ever attended.

A TIMELY BECOGXITIOX.
A the beginning of New Year,
would it not be kind and proper
for our readers who a r e in arrears
lo settle up their does for the past
and advance their payment for this
year? The editor is not able to
see you, and even if he were,
you should not put him to the
expense of hunting up so sm ill
an amount. It will not pay to col
lect these subscriptions like other
accounts, because they are small
and scattered everywhere. Yei
they are all we can depend upon
with which to meet our large bills.
We have patiently waited ail
through the past year. Will you
not kindly perlorm your lionesl,
Christian duty towards the Herald
whied has served you faithfully?

of Col. A. D. Freeman the indebt
edness incurred in building the
Baptist church edifice has recently
been liquidated, with the exception
of about twj hundred dollars. The

generous proposition from Mr. R.

up nobly to the call. This magnif

thousand dollars and every cent of
the money was raised chiefly
through the exertions of Col. Free
man.

Tuesday morning by the 3ad news
of tho sudden death of Mrs. Mary C.
Crowder, widow of the late Alex.
Crowder. She spent the day Mon
day with her 3on Leonard’s family,
in apparent good health, and en
joyed her visit very much. In the
evening she returned home and so
far as known rested well during the
night. Being aroused by her son
Eck, who came in from a party
about 4 o’clock. She and Mis3 Bet-
tie Adams got up pretty soon when
she complained of not feeling well
and asked for some i amphor. A
short time after taking it she was
seized by a violent cough and died
abou’g o’clock.
She was born February 19th, 1814,
was married May 2d, 1844, and died
December 28th, 138C. She profess
ed a hope and attached herself to
the Methodist church when a girl
and her walk from earliest acquain
tance demonstrated the fact that
she bad been with God. The
funeral services were con
ducted by Rev. F. J. Amis, at Elim,
in the midst of a large congregation
from the text, “Prepare to meet thy
God.” The minister touched ap
propriately on the evidence of her
having made that preparation.

It is arranged chronologically by
years, from 1492 to 1885. Every
event is narrated in the order of its
date. These are not confined, as in
other works, to political matters,
but embrace every branch of human
action. It describes under its proper
date all important patents; all dis
coveries in science and the useful
arts; the digging of canals and the
building of railroads and telegraph
lines; the founding of towns and the
erection oi notable buildings and
bridges; the first performances of
plays ami the first appearances of
actors and singers; fires, floods,
hailstorms, tornadoes, cyclones,
pidemics, accidents and disasters
on sea and land; riots and crimes;
panics and business failures; “cor
ners” and phenomenal prices in all
markets, labor troubles, strikes and
lockouts, and hundreds of other
matters never mentioned by histori
ans, which are of the greatest im
portance to all who wish to under
stand the progressof their country,
Besides being'a history in the ordi-
a ary sense, it is a condensed news
paper file for four hundred years.
