Visitor Writes of a Bute in This
The race for judge and solicitor
of the City court of Vienna will be
hotly contested one, owing to the
prominence and ability of the
prospective candidates.
The present officers, Judge'D. L
Henderson and Solicitor J. T. Hill
ot Cordele, will be uspirants for re
election before Governor Terrell,
after he is duly elected and inaugu?
rated in October.
Col. E. F. Strozier of Cordele, is
the only outspoken candidate for
the position held by Judge Hender
son. Both are strong friends of the
governor-elect and worked very
faithfully tor him in the recent
nomination. Judge Henderson also
served as judge of the County court
for several years prior to the estab
lishment of the City court, and has
given general satisfaction. Both
of these gentlemen are h.ird students
of the law utid feel very confident
of receiving the plum, which pays
$1,500 a year.
Col. W. V. Harvard, of Vienna,
is so tar, the only opponent of
Solicitor Hill. Col. Harvard served
one term as solicitor under appoint
ment ’of Governor Candler, and
made a good one. Both of - these
are also personal friends to Mr
Terrell and gave him their support
in the recent campaign. They have
many friends in the county who
will lend their influence to elect the
candidate of their choice.
The appointment, will hardly
occur before November, but all of
the candidates are busy getting up
endorsements and putting things in
shape to make the fight of their life
for the positions above mentioned.
A Buffet Luncheon.
One of the mast delightful social
events of the season was a “Buffet
Luncheon” Wednesday evening at the
home ot Dr. and Mrs. C. T. Stovall to
their son Mr. Rupert Hope Stovall, in
honor of his twenty-first birthday, and
as usual at this charming home, every
thing was elegant and artistic. The
front parlor was beautiful with its
bowls of pink roses; the reception hall
was pretty in its graceful ivy drapery,
and the luncheon room was richly dec
orated in red. A luncheon was served
during the evening. Most of the couples
found it cooler on the lawn, while a few
were entertained at ping-pong. De -
licious punch was served, out on the
lawn Under an arch of vines.
Mr. Rupert 8tovall and Mrs. Stovall
wore assisted in receiving by Mrs. J. B
McDonald, Miss Lucy Heard, Miss Alice
Clarke and Mr. Ernest Stovall. Mm
McDonald was attractively gowned in
a creation of piuk mull and lace. Miss
Heard wore a block brussel net over
white satin with a touch of blue. Mrs.
Stovall wore a becoming dress of soft
pink silk with black medallions. Miss
Alice Clarke, of Americus, who is the
charming guest at this home, was
dainty in a white bercarie satin With
trimmingB of black aplique and
spangle net. ,
This entertainment was pronounced
most elegant and complete.
SEVERAL SMALL
SCENES SCOOPED
The News of Town and Comfy Culled
Together for Hasty Readers.
That part of our county that lies
about three miles east of Unadilla,
has for a good many yearn enjoyed
the local distinction of being called
Egypt,” from the fact that its
lands are wonderfully productive,
especially of the cerials. When
corn and other feed stuff is scarce
and can hardly be found elsewhere,
this community supplies' the less
fortunate neighborhoods.
Having business in the old “Third
Kingdom of Dooly” last Tuesday,
fell in with the good people of
‘Egypt” about the noon hour and
I felt in my soul it was good to be
there, for these good people had
prepared a barbecue and other good
things for the inner man, and it is,
perhaps, needless.to say I sustained
my reputation as a hearty eater.
That old patriarch, Judge John
T. Graham, was master of ceremo
niss, while his lieutenants, J. A.
Broxton, Moran Shivers, Jerre
Clements, Bole Mashburn and the
hosts of Grahams, contributed to
the pleasures and comforts of the
occasion. Nothing marred -the
pleasures of the occasion save the
fact their neighbor, Mr. R. E,
Ransom, was very ill ot fever and
not expected to live
Crops in Egypt are exceedingly
fine. Mr. C C Graham has perhaps
the best two-horse crop in the
county.
These people are progressive and
up-to-date, and it is a real pleasure
lo go among them.
It is very largely this commu
nity, with Judge W. B. Cone, de
ceased, as its leader, that distin
guished old Dooly as the most
progressive and enterprising county
in the wiregrass section of Georgia
May these good people of
“Egypt” continue to prosper and
be happy and may they not forget
to meet, once a year, around the

NO’FALSE* CLAIMS.

Vienna Again Victorious
The second game of ball between
the second nine of this city and the
first nine of Pleasant Valley, was
played here Thursday afternoon
The Vienna boys won out again
the score at the end of the ninth
inning being 28 to 15. The pleas
ure of the game was marred to
great extent by the wrangling with
the umpire by some of the players
on both teams. At time* there was
some good playing by both teams
but once or twice it seemed that
they went to pieces, caused by
bad throw or an error, allowing in
several runs. Score by innings:
