VAUGHN VOICINGS.
Vaughn, Ga., July 18.—The most en
joyable affair of the season was the ice
cream festival given by W. W. Champion
and Mrs. J. L. Vaughn io their Sunday
school classes Thursday night last, at the
hospitable home of the former. It was
greatly enjoyed by all, quite a number of
our young people being present Those
who assisted the charming hostess in
serving the refreshments were Mrs. W. A.
Freeman, of Macon, Mrs. Barlow Reeves
and Mrs. J. L. Vaughn. The table was
beautifully decorated with white oleanders
and ferns. The visiting young ladies were
Miss Daisy Hicks, of Florida, and Mlm
Emma Touchstone, of Zetella, who were
lOvely in blue and white organdies. The
gentlemen visitors were W. A. Freeman
of Macon, and T, J. Vaughn, of Alabama.
The latter furnished us with most delight
ful music from the violin, assisted by the
young ladies on the organ and guitar. The
merry party lingered until the wee ama*
hours and bade goodby; expressing them
selves as having spent a most delightful
evening.
The entartalnmtmtghrgn fey the children
under the auspices of Mrs. J. L. Vaughn
Friday night was highly enjoyed by all.
Those who took a part in the entertain
ment were: Masters Gordon Kendall,
Cleveland Reeves, Searcy Nunnally, Wil
liam Champion, Fred Freeman and Jesse
Vaughn; Misses Janie Freeman, Ethel
Vaughn and Lois Reeves. The burlesque
on the Debating Club was laughable in the
extreme, and the tableaux and songs by
the children were beautifully rendered.
The poem, “Our Warship Dixie,” by Mas
ter Jesse Vaughn, met with hearty enthu
siasm from those present. The song,
“Grandpa, Bless Your Little Nell,” by
little Miss Ethel Vaughn, was very sweet
and touching. Last, but not least, was
the tableau, “Mother and Child,” by Misses
Janie Freeman and Lois Reeves, was
beautiful and impressive under the colored
lights. We hope to be entertained again
at no late day by the young talent of our
place.
G. H. Steele spent last Thursday 4n

T. J. Vaughn and Miss Maude Kendall
spent two or three days last week in Gris.

The many friends oi Miss Lois Freeman
were glad to see her able to attend church
Sunday.
Whitely Kincaid and wife, Walter
Stewart and Miss Margie Slaton were
among those who enjoyed the entertain*
ment Friday night.
Will Daniel and Miss Dessa Gable, of
Brooks, were here Friday evening.
Quite a crowd from here attended the
all-day singing at County Line Sunday
and report a very pleasant time.

To tell the truth is to save time. A lie

Women are irrational in that they either

. Sentiment of the Country
r On the subject of empire the Syra*
cuse Standard has the following:
“If the United States becomes an
empire by proclaiming the annexe*
f tion of the Philippines or a jprotecto*
1 rate, then it has been an empire from
the foundation. Then, too, England,
in some respects the freest 'nation on,
fbe'globe, is an empire. There is a
, British empire, but England is not an
i empire, and her most advanced colo
nies, like Canada, are free states. The
i essence of empire is an autocratic
’ central authority and the withstand*
’ ing of political privileges in the inter*
est of the government, not of the
’ governed. The United States/With*
holds such privileges in her territories
only until those who come under* its
. authority are fitted to exercise them,
i The Hawaiiana and the inhabitants of
1 the Philippines will no more be sub*
s jects'of an empire than the North
Amaricaft Indians, or the Mexican
population of New Mexico and Ariza*
5 na. The rapid colonization of those
lands by Americans will insure their
e political advancement and their final
* adoption into the Federal republic.”
