Hiss Roby Bums Entertains.

Although the rain fell unceasingly, quito 'a number were present, and while all was “dark and dreary.’’ Without, the bright and happy faces within proved that the down pour did not quench their jubilant spirits Miss Burns’ girlish beauty was charmingly brought out by the dainty pink silk gown which she wore. She Is a true type of the Southern beauty and her many friends predict for her a' brilliant future. She received and en tertalned her guests in her own happy manner, and it is needless to say that every,on^ enjoyed it.

Miss Ruby is the proud possessor of quite a pretty collection of birthday gifts. The heavy rains that fell in this section Friday, Saturday and Sun. day caused the streams to overflow their banks and spread over con siderable territory, washing the land badly and delaying farm work to a considerable extent. The two creeks bordering this city on the north and south were in a turbu lent mood and as far out of their channels as they were ever known to be. Many of our citizens con gregated on the banks of these streams Sunday evening and watched the roaring and raging waters in tfieir mad rush to the sett. The ugly clouds passed entirely out of view just after midday, the wind ceased its howling, the sun came out in all its splendor, and the af ternoon was as calm and peaceful as a summer’s dream’.

The services at the Baptist church^ Sunday night were unusually in teresting, the songs appropriate and feelingly rendered, and the* large congregation showed th^fc,. hearty approval of the thoughtful and gospel-like sermon delivered by the pastor, Rev. E. S. Atkiii-ll son, by giving it their most earnest 1 attention. • At the proper, time the * doors of the church were opened and three candidates—one young lady and two young men—pre* santed themselves and were ad mitted into full fellowship.
