Brilliant Banquet in Hon-
l ’ M of Mr. C C. Brantley.
Valdosta has probably never wit
nessed a more brilliant affair than
the banquet tendered Mr. C. C.
Brantley by his admiring friends at
the Valdes hotel last night. Even
now, when “the lights are fled and
the garlands are dead,’* there U
nothing but praise for the excellent
menu, the ' beautifully .decorated
banquet hall and the eloquent and
witty speeches.
The ■ occasion was meant as a
slight testimonial' of the esteem in
which Mr. Brantley is held by his
fellow-citizens, among whom he
fcas lived for so many years. As ed
itor of The Valdosta Times and
it in a manner especially pleasing to
the members of the press. Dr.
Holmes may not have had actual
service in journalism, but he has a
keen Insight into the trials and
ciossea of the newspaper man ana
know s the worth of a good paper.
Ho referred to the fact that prob
ably no profession is so exciting and
so insistent for the best that is in
a man. ^
the fifth number on the program,
“Who Can Fill bis Place,’V was re
sponded to in a very happy manner
by Mr. J. J. Newman. The speaker
hadn’t been talking long before he
had the crowd convulsed with
laughter, making one of the wittiest
speeches of the evening. When he

andled the subject in an especially
happy and well rounded manner
He told of other young men who
bad been drafted from Valdosta by
distant cities, .and who had proceed

with. Therefore, he argued, with
rare wit, the question as
whether the capitol would have to

I-erson of Mr. Brantley was housed
therein, was an entirely pertinent
one.

Mr. Ingram had $1,600 Insurance

The store occupied by Mr. Rents is
