It is pleasant to chronicle the no lH' I® entertainments given by Col. and Mrs Lane at the stately McKib heu mansion, They maintained their deserved reputation for ele* gance and cordial hospitality, they counted among theii gues a on this evenings a coterie of select and ad miring friends. There were no flo ral decorations but the exquisite paintings and engravings that looked down from tinted walls ar.d gractlul easeli, reflecting the toey glow of the cherry coal fires, gave evidence of the thoughtful remem brance of the friends of the happy couple. The event was in honor ofMis es Roberts of Hawkinsville and Price of Ailaiita, Jackson feels honored in securing gush charming guests. Mias Edna Roberts with her queenly manners, scintillating re partee and her personal magnetism will be a nnticahle figure in any so cial assemblage. She wore a love ly princess gown of peach blow hue ndrscnbably becoming to the face of classic outline, delicacy of color*- ing and the expressive brown eves. Mias Mariam Price wore a rich crimson costume and was the per sonification of Southern beauty with her dark eyes and waving dark hair. At eleven o'clock dainty re freehmenfs were served After wnioh music wa< discoursed by Misses Rogers and price Col. and Mrs. Lane are posesged uf the enviable gift of entertaining, they understand intuitively the people to put together, people who are interested in each other.

Jackson was never so gay since the summer of 1891. Receptions, nformal gatherings, club. meetings crowd one upon another in rapid succession. Gay events and ass* emblings together revolve with ka leidoscopic interest. 1 hat was an event of no ordinary impor tance which drew so large and gay an assemblage together at ’he hos pitable residence of Capt. Hitchens on the moonlit evening of the 6ih inst. There was a departure from the usual order of things and a “Domino” party was deeided upon. Rare fun it was to w itch the move ments of the disguised ones, and hear sweet low voices pitched shrilly or assume the course tones oi a man, while the boys in girl’s costume, just captivated with their shy winning manners, The ‘ Dom inos” were many and varied, pres enting quite a rainbow appearance. Mr, R. N. Etheridge was noble and priestly looking in dark green. Mr, E. Splint Wynn never, so his friends said, could have selected such a more “begoing” color to bis paeuliar handsome style than the tan he wore, cut very loose prin^ JACKSON, GA., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1692. cess.

There are no prouder men in Ma con than proprietors of the Geor gia Business College ever the pre miums awarded by the state fair for plain and ornamental penmanship, their numerousaud handsome speci mens of Den work exhibited in the Art Hall elicited universal admira tion; and the full significance ol their victory can oaly be appreciated when it is remembered that the con test was opened to the competion of all the business colleges in the great empire state. The blue ribbons are now flying from the college and the college proprietors only re gret that premiums were not of fered for the latest and best methods in short hand, book ke# ping and business education generally, as those taught exciu*- sively by them save one*third the expense and time to students. —Ma- con News.

All the seats on both sides of the field were full, and in side the ropes was a straggling line of white and crimson substi tutes, looking like great squatting ducks. At the moment when my etoiy begins, every one in the tiers of scats had risen hastily to his feet and was vigorously clap ping and stamping, as he strained Lis eyes to follow the Harvard back that sprinted with the ball through the dusty glare. Even the substitutes had got up and were running along the edge of the field half doubled up. The bottom row forgot to cry “Down in front,” and in the excitement an invasive small boy escaped from the pursuit of a desultory policeman. While the interest was thus at its height, a sudden lull cams in the applause of one section of seats. Some people deliberately stopped cheering, others paused to see what could be attracting at tention from such football; all felt repaid for their momentary ab straction. Tke*two women that had caused this stir of silence walked slowly before the specta tors. One of them was such a person as we read about and some times see. Tall, largely and well formed, and gracefully Jiguified, she wore a well-fitting, fashionable gown which was striking ia cut and color while it escaped being loud. The other woman was dressed with equal taste but more plainly, and looked older than the first. ' - By the time the two had found seats the touchdown was made. Everybody was sitting, and as the goal was kicked the llame of ap plause went out in a quick blaze of sound. Then everyone was lean ing forward to 4ook at the strange arrivals, where they sat apparently unconscious of the effect of their appearance. Henri Sherwood, a fr shman, who sat behind them, spoke tim idly to a sophomore that he did not know: “Will you please tell me who she is?” The sophomore half turned his head and said in a low, supercili ous tone: “'Why! Madame Sa varra. ” The freshman knew kir name. Ke had reau it in the papers, bn the fences, and had heard it everywhere. It was a popular name of a successful woman, one of the few women of the day who had enough mind and soul to play Shakespeare. He looked at her keenly and decided to see her act that night. A short time after this the first half was over. People got up and went down on the ground and walked about. Henri Sherwood stepped down from his place and stood for a moment looking about him. Someone touched him on the shoulder and said: ‘‘Hello, Henry Sherwood.” The two fellows moved off to gether, and Sherwood did not see the quick, wondering glance that Madame Savarra gave him as he mixed with the crowd, although he had been staring at her a minute before. She spoke in a low tone to her companion, and the two women walked a little way among the people, but they soon reseated themselves, and waited for the second halt. Sherwood did not see them again during the game. There is, however, no doubt but that they saw him, for about 6 that evening Dick Roberts went into Henri's room and began: “Say, do you know, Henry, that Savarra was talking about you? I heard her say to the other one: ‘Sherwood; yes, I'm sure it was Henry Sherwood/ She talks with a kind of an accent. And then she caught sight of you and pointed you out, and got as ex cited as the devil. Do any of your folks know her?” “Dick,” said Henri, striving hard to be calm, but trembling, “1 should think there is something up. That woman is my mother.” “Mother! Savarra?” I believe that for a minute Dick thought that Henri was out of his senses, for lie could see that there was no joke, but Henri soon con vinced him of the truth of what he said. He showed him a note from Madame Savarra that he had found in his room after the game, and he told him the story of his parents. It is too common a story to be romantic—that of the mar ried pair that cannot love, cannot even endure each other longer, so that some plea is found and the bond is dissolved. In this case there were unique points: the wife had been a young French woman, beautiful and accomplished, but inexpeiienced; her only child had been taken from her, she had de parted from an inhospitable land, but where she had gone no one had cared to know. Henri could not remember his mother, but he had clung superstitiously to the name she had given him, and would never English its spell ing, which was all he could do to show an inborn love for an un known parent His father had died years figo, and he had been brought up by his aunts and his uncles. This is the story of which Henri now excitedly recounted the main points. He was a fellow with some romance, and had been si lently used to worship his mother, as he vaguely imagined her to be; but this very romance had hereto fore disinclined him to speak of its effects. Now, however, lie surely had no reason to be reticent The mother was found. Joy at the idea opened his heart ami his mouth, and he poured out to his friend his happiness and his pride. He gave Roberts the note to read, and watched him with an unconquerable smile of delight while he read it. The diction was not of that cold formality that a woman naturally use3 in writing to a strange young man. The Eng lish was good, but had one or two European turns of expression, and the warmth of the style also seemed rather exotic. Although the langurge was involved, the note certainly presaged a joyful reunion of long sundered ties; but this was not put in so poetical a form as to cause the request that came last to be an anti-climax. Madame Savarra wished Sherwood to call the next afternoon at the Hotel Vendome. When Roberts finished reading, he said, “Well, let me congratu late you old man. You ought to be a liappy fellow. ” Henri answered: “Thereare not many women on the stage a man could take for a mother and be proud of.” The next day Henri went to the Vendome and was taken to Madame Savarra’s private parlor and told to wait a few minutes. He sat during these minutes in a state of tremulous excitement, try ing to be calm, and yet asking himself why he should be so. He was there to be restored to his moth er, from whom he had been parted for years, and whom he loved with ah innate love; and this mother was a woman admired and almost adored by thousands, a woman re nowned for her beauty, her intel lect and her virtue. The door opened, and as Sher wood arose Madame Savarra en tered with an odor of violets. He had vaguely expected to throw himself into her wide-open arms, but such a course seemed highly inappropriate now, as the majestic figure advanced in her robe ,of swaying white; so Henri stood and held the arm of his chair, as she smiled graciously and slowly spoke in her sympathetic, effective voice: “Henri Sherwood. Will you please to be seated.” However, they both remained standing, and she immediately went on, calmly, but giving no chance for reply. “You of course know why I have sent for you.” She had a distinctly foreign ac cent, and spoke with vigor and with attention to the point, as though she were giving some tell ing speech before a large audience; and occasionally she used a quiet, well-chosen gesture. “The unexpected recognition of yesterday afternoon, and also this meeting of to-day, gives to me the greatest pleasure. It is not often that I have been so deeply inter ested in any event, and this is not only on account of the undivided happiness that such a joyous re union must afford to even an un affected observer, but equally be cause I am for so long aware of the merit of that .worthy soul to fvhom this meeting gives already the most immense delight. To me that knows how long and earnestly the mother has hoped and prayed to see her dear child again—and this I know as no one else can —it is like an answer to the prayer. To you, who have your splendid feelings of youth, it will not be needful to say anything in praise of thlt dear parent, but I cannot meet you without telling you how [ appreciate her true value which you yet have to learn. She is the Saithfulest, the most trustable of women and the most patient. For all these years Madame Sherwood is always my most beloved friend; and I have never regarded her position as in the least menial, for she has been to me more as a sister than as a companion. And so I can share her happiness of reg lin ing you. All this time, sir, your poor mother is waiting for 'me tc bring her to you.” With a charming smile Mad une Savarra turned and walked ma jestically to the door, while Henri Sherwood clung to the arm of the chair.—Louis How, in the Har vafd Advocate.
