Big Poultry Show
Carrollton will be well represent
ed at The Georgian’s Poultry Show
which J opens at the Auditorium-
Armory in Atlanta next Tuesday.
It is said that this shuw will be
one of the finest ever |held in this
country.
The management has announced
that the public will not be admitted
on Monday as everything will be
in disorder while the birds are
being cooped, but promptly at nine
o'clock Tuesday morning the doors
will be opened.
A number of our people will visit
the show, and the following have
made entries:
B. H. New—White Wyandottes. 2
hens, 1 pullet, 1 cock.
A. J, Turner—Barred Plym. Rocks,
1 pullet.
Gray’s Leghorn Yards—White 'Leg
horns, 1 cock, 1 cockerel, 1 hen.
We congratulate these men on
their enterprise, and the [nerve
shown in exhibiting at this show
where their birds will compete with
those of the “big bugs’ of the
poultry fraternity, and we feel*sure
they will make a creditable showing.
at home in Mt. Zion, Ga., on the
evening of Dec. 30th. The parlor
was beautifully decorated in holly
wreaths and red bells; the sitting-
room in sprays of holly and the din
ing-room in galyx leaves, mistletoe
was to be found in great profusion
every where.
The first part of the evening was
spent in Progressive Conversation.
Partners for this were selected in a
most unique way. A curtain was
suspended at one of the doors and
an opening was made just large
enough for the eyes. The girls were
placed in one room and the boys in
the opposite, then as a pair of eyes
appeared at the opening in the cur
tain the boys were allowed one guess
each until the girl to whom they be
longed was called, The boy guess
ing the right girl received her for a
partner for the first conversation.
After each boy had obtained a part
ner they were invited to the parlor
and given seats in a circle: At the
tap of a bell a conversation would
begin and last for three minutes, at
a second tap of the bell that conver
sation would close, the boys move
one partner to the right during the
next conversation and so on through
the series. The topics discussed
were love, music, books, Christmas
and fortune-telling.
Partners for Progressive Peanuts
were next chosen by the girls who
guessed the boys by their feet which
they could see beneath a curtain.
Tables were then arranged in order
and beautiful little favors decorated
in Poinsettas were pinned on each
guest. At table No. 1 was found a
pile of peanuts in the shell and a
pair of candy tongs, with these tongs
they were to remove the peanuts
one at a time without moving any
of the others. The couple getting
the greatest number in the allotted
time received a “punch” in their
favor and was progressed to the
next table. Different tasks were
found at each table, such as shell
ing the peanuts, separating hulls
and kernels with a pair of tongs,
stringing the kernels on a thread,
etc. This afforded a vast amount
of amusement for more than an
hour.
The curtain was a third time
brought into use for the selection of
partners for refreshments. The boys
were made to pass between the cur
tain and a light and the girls guess
them. The refreshments were served
progressively also. Paper napkins
with holly, red berries and Xmas
bells were first passed with orange 1
in half-shell, the second course co: -
sisted of the delicious Waldorf salad
served in patties, peanut sandwiches,
cheese straws and pickles. The last
course consisted of cake and the
most delightful fruit punch imagin
able.
Those present were, Misses Erie
and Huron Ashmore, Ophie and
Daphne Morris, Ora and Belle En-
trekin, Mayme Martin, Mrs. Pearl
Holmes and Prof, and Mrs. J. W.
May; Messrs. Chas. Ashmore, Grover
Earnest, Hal Perkins, John Ray,
Walter Bartlett, Roy Powers, Walter
Perkins, Clifton Martin, Carey Earn
est and Wesley Entrekin.
Miss Morris was unanimously
voted the most entertaining hostess
of the season.
party last Friday afternoon in honor
of her sister, Mrs. C. K. Henderson,
Jr., of Newnan, who spent the holi
days in Carrollton.
The house was appropriately
decorated in Christmas greens and
bells, great wreaths of holly being
hung in every window, a bright, red
bell in the center of each wreath.
Growing plants and flowers were
also used in abundance as decora
tions in the large living-room, the
dining-room and the hall which were
thrown together and easily warmed
by glowing fires.
Pretty hand-painted red and white
place cards were drawn by the
guests, and red and white bonbons
in cut-glass dishes were placed on
the tables for refreshment during
the games.
Four games were played and the
top score prize, a handsome gold
bar-pin was awarded Mrs. Bernard
Bass,while the honor prize, a beauti
ful gold thimble, was presented to
Mrs. Henderson.
After the game a delicious lunch
was served, consisting of sliced
turkey, cranberry jelly, waldorf salad
olives, hot biscuit, sandwiches, and
coffee. The sandwiches were tied
with red ribbons in one loop of
which was fastened a tiny doll.
Another favor on each plate was a
souvenir of Carrollton in the shape
of a small china vase, dipper, pin-
tray, etc., each bearing a picture of
Carroll County’s Courthouse.
Mrs. Henderson wore a gown of
pink chiffon, Mrs. Newell a lavender
crepe-de-chine, Miss Eugenia Mande-
vflle and Miss Margaret Simonton
assisted in entertaining.
