An Knjvynble AH'ttir
One of the most enjoyable affairs of
the season was the entertainment given
by Dr. and Mrs. AV. C. AVitnberly last
Wednesday evening in honor of Misses
Lightfoot and Paulliu and Mr. J. E.
Paullin, Jr.
The rare manner in which the
host and charming hostess conducted
the entertainment soon c gised the
party to feel that they we? i the re¬
cipients of that cordial welcome and
hospitality for which their benefactors
are noted.
The elegant homo was garnished
with such a profusion of rare flowers
and evergreen that the couples actually
had hallucinations of being in the para¬
dise of absolute happiness. Magic
lanterns, hanging artistically from um¬
brella chinas in the yard, illumined
with brilliancy the surroundings, and
the couples, smitten, took advantage
of it, and sat out m the yard where the
cool breeze, fresh from the Gulf, made
all feel that they were drinking red
lemohade under an electric fan.
In the spacious hall of that hospita¬
ble home temptingly sat a howl of
sparking, laughing punch, so red that
it danced and glowed like showered
drops of rubies. Of course, you would
guess, around it they stood till each
one was brjining full—it was only fruit
punch, though. When the clock had
measured off 11:30 frozen delicacies,
and otbor rarities of divers kind were
served in pleuty.
The hours of evening were inter¬
spersed with musical selections, both
instrumental and vocal, from the dif¬
ferent young ladies present, whifli
served as an additional pleasure the
numerous others enjoyed.
At 12 o’clock the coupled’ said good
night, and departed for their respective
bodies with the gratification of having
spent a most pleasant evening.

Mr. Farmer, having lived at Shorter¬
ville a number of years, had many
friends and acquaintances in this
community to whom the announcement
of his death will bring sorrow.
His remains were accompanied to
Shorterville by a number of friends
from Fort Gaines, who were joined at
the grave by quite a gathering of his
Alabama acquaintances.
The deceased was the father of Mr.
T. L. Farrnes, of our town, besides
whom he leaves several other grown
sons and daughters to mourn his death.
The Sentinel respectfully joins other

NUMBER 30
The Att<'ili|it to Kill lilt; Prrnidriit.
Most of our readers have read before
now of the attempt made upon the life
of President McKinley at Buffalo last
Friday. He was holding a reception at
the music hall of the exposition, when
ho was approached by a l’ole, who,
with the pretext of shaking hands
with the nation’s chief executive, shot
him twice, once in the breast and once
m the bowels.
The president was given prompt
medical and surgical attention, and at
last Recounts there was every reason
for hoping that he will get well.
The attempt upon his life has occas¬
ioned great anxiety throughout all sec¬
tions of this country as well as Europe.
There is a striking absence of .sec¬
tionalism and partisan prejudice in the
solicitude of the people generally for
the recovery of their president, and
the people of the South are just as
anxious .for his safety and us indignant
at tho attempt upon his life as are
those of the North. . President Mc¬
Kinley’s administration has marked
him a broad-minded statesmen worthy
of the confidence and esteem of his
constituents generally, regardless of
political creed, and this incident has
served to bring out the tmo sentiment
of the; people as nothing else could
have done.
Tho assassin is supposed to be an
anarchist belonging to a society of that,
order. He admits his purpose to kill
the president, and says the teachings
of one Emma Goldman, a notorious
female anarchist, instilled in him a
hatred for those in authority which led
him to commit this cowardly deed. IF is
arrest has been followed oy that of the
woman, Emma Goldman, and numbers
of other anarchists supposed to have
conspired with nim to imr titty prour
dent. The American people have been
aroused to the menacing growth of
anarchy in this country, and it is hoped
that this awakening will result in the
extermination of tho order.

having so managed public affaijs
that it is unnecessary to levy any tax
whatever for county purposes this
year. Tho people appreciate the fact
that the board has tho county in such
excellent financial condition as to re¬
lieve them of the tax burden entirely.
As tlic record stands, Terrell is the
only county iu the state where no tax¬
es will be collected this year.
