Entertained at Hearts.
On Tuesday afternoon Mrs. C.
H. Caldwell was hostess at a de
lightful reception in honor of Mrs.
John E. Donalson and her guest,
Mrs. Grant Dixon of Atlanta.
Quite a number of the society set
were present and the assembly ofj
beautiful women rendered the
scene brilliant and attractive. In
the evening Mr. and Mrs. Cald
well entertained again, compli
mentary to Mrs. W. S. Thompson,
Miss Gordon and Miss Donalson.
Hearts, the ever fascinating amuse
ment, proved, as usual, thoroughly
interesting 1 and with gay repartee
and delicious refreshments as ac
companying delights, the evening
hours passed too speedily.
As the most successful contest
ant in the popular game, Miss Stel
la Nussbaum was presented with a
beautiful cut glass bowl, and as a
consolation Mrs. Ben Ehrlich re-
ceiyed a dainty vinaigrette. The
gentleman’s ^souvenir, a jeweled
cigar knife, was awarded to Mr. W.
Thompson, Mr. Jackson receiv
ing the consolation, a paper weight.
With a perfect hostess, congenial
guests and ideally beautiful sur
roundings, the success of an en
tertainment is assured; an invita
tion to Mrs. Caldwell’s home al
ways stands for these requisites
for pleasure.
Col. Townsend for Judge.
Our last week’s issue contained
the formal announcement of Col.
A. L. Townsend, who thereby be
comes a candidate for the judge-
ship of the city court of Bain
bridge. Mr. Townsend makes i
characteristic announcement ii
that it is modest and pointed. He
is too well known to the citizens
of the county to demand anything
more than the announcement of
his candidacy; having been a con
stant practitioner at the bar of
Bainbridge'for many years.
Mr. Townsend is the second
candidate for the position to make
formal announcement; yet it is uni
versally understood that Judge B.
B. Bower will stand for re elec
tion. With this three-cornered
race the indications point to
lively tilt for the office before the
close of the primaries.
Berry.Cafisdy.
In the Times-Enterprise of
Wednesday of this week appeared
the announcement of the engage*
ment of Mr. Logan D, Berry of
this City, to Miss Ellen Cassady,
of Thomasville. The marriage will
occur at the home of the bride at
ten o'clock in the morning of
Wednesday, December 23rd. Only
the immediate family and intimate
frionds of tlm contracting parties
will witness"he ceremony.
This announement will create
much surprise and pleasure among
the friends of both the young peo
ple. Mr. Berry is the son of our
esteemed fellow townsman Dr. V.
Berry, and is an enterprising
young business man. For the
past year he has been connected
with the Dickenson Drug Co.,
of Thomasville, but having re
cently purchased the business of
R. C. Cox & Company this city
will now make Bainbridge his per
manent home.
Miss Cassady having frequently
been the guest of friends here has
number of acquaintances who
will be interested to learn of her
marriage to Mr. Berry.
Immediately after the ceremony
the happy couple will leave for
this city where they will in the
future reside.
••0, But Hut Depot.”
“O, but that’s a horrible depot
of yours,” ejaculated a stranger as
he stepped from the train Tuesday
noon. He was speaking of the
worn-out, dilapidated, antedated
A. C. L. depot. ‘Why do you know
there isn’t a town anywhere in this
section of one half the commercial
importance of Bainbridge that has
so poor depot facilities,” continued
the stranger; and it was hard to
convince him that real warfare was
not the only hope for the city,
Hundreds of people pass through
: Jainbridge each day on trains and
i l they take the A. C L. depot as
an evidence of the thrift of our
citizens we fear that one half has
never been told. Fires seem to
be unable to destroy and cyclones
always dodge the old depot, a
veritable shadow of Atlanta s old
car shed.
Edward Baxter Perry.
The greatest anticipations of the
music loving audience which greet
ed Edward Baxter Perry the blind
pianist who appeared here Wed
nesday evening, were entirely real
ized. Owing to the inconvenience
of moving his piano into the op
era house the performance occur
red at the new court house. A1
though the building was not adap
ted for concert purposes and placed
Mr, Perry rather at a disadvantage
he thoroughly charmed his hear
ers and easily showed that he was
complete master of his instrument

Post Office Chaages.
Mr. George L. Liverman, who
was recently appointed postmaster
for this office took charge Wed
nesday morning. He has engaged
Mr. E. H. Daniels as his assistant
and with two such capable officials
we will receive efficient and satis
factory service. Prof. Toole and
his corps of assistants deserve the
thanks of the public for their ex
cellent work; the office being left
in such perfect order that the new

without any difficulty.

with the appointment of Mr. Liv
erman. He is accommodating,
and competent and the business

nouncing the death of Mr. D. H

hood of Pine Grove church near

birds the first day. The remain
der of the week they will hunt at
Lake Jackson and with fourteen
splendid bird dogs they expect
great game.
A Dance At The Waimnan.
The second dance of the series
to be given by the Bainbridge Ger
man Club which occured last ev
ening at Hotel Wainman equalled
and even eclipsed the first in pleas
ure. The Tallahassee orchestra,
which so enthralled the dancers
on the former occasion, held such
potent sway that the elders who
had not treaded a measure in long
years, were inspired with the de
sire to indulge once more in the
delightful pastime. The delicious
refreshments served during the
evening sustained the reputation
of the splendid hostelry and the
effusive praise of each guest testi
fied to the hosts the perfect enjoy
ment of the evening.
Entertained Royally.
Mrs. Walter Perry entertained
quite a large number of her friends
from three to five o’clock on yes
terday afternoon. The home was
prettily decorated for the occasion
and the beautiful human panorama
was very pleasant to behold. It
goes without saying that the re-
reshments were the very daintiest
and most delicious imaginable.
As a hostess Mrs. Perry is
always gracious and charming and
those who were the recipient of
her hospitality on yesterday after
noon bestowed the highest enco
miums on the delights of the enter
tainment.
Death Near Calvary.
Mrs. Susie Maxwell, one of the
oldest and most respected ladies
of her community died at her home
near Calvary, on the 8th inst, and
her remains were buried in the
family burial grounds.
For a long while she had been
afflicted with cancer of the mouth
and throat, from which she died.
She was a good woman; a splendid
neighbor and a faithful member of
the Primitive Baptist church. She
will be greatly missed from the
community.
Atteatioa Ladies.
On Monday, December 21st, I
will have 00 exhibition at my store;
a large collection of drawn work
all done by Mrs. Smith, who will
take pleasure in showing the same,

miss it, as the work is fine.
Yours very truly,
N. J. Smith.
