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 Griffin on business. T. J. Vaughn and Miss Maude Kendall spent two or three days last week in Gris. fin with relatives. 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. Bewildering Human Nature- Too many think that fame consists of getting their names in the newspapers,says the New York Press. To the outsider forced by circumstances to tolerate them, it’s two fools with but a single thought The most persistent war advisers are the men who are physically disqualified from entering the service. Men are happier than wqmen. because a man learns earlier that be doesn’t have to do all the things that others think he ought to. Two kinds of women affect the bathing beach—those with beautiful long hair to be dried in the sun, and those who imag ine their forms divine. The number of “spoiled” men and wo men to about twice that of spoiled children The “cutest” infent on a Bunday school excursion is generally the greatest nuisance to everybody except its mother. may be a failure, but any girl will tell you that her engagements, no matter how they turned out, were sue- CMIM To tell the truth is to save time. A lie may seem the quickest way out, but there always are a lot of other lisa that must bo told to bolster up the first one. Women are irrational in that they either “adore” or “detest” a man. Men, on the other hand, regard women, with possibly one or two exceptions, as mere things. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla* 150 SEWING MACHINES GIVEN AWAY! —■—• - - ~ If. fully explained tel.w.

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.” S —i ▲ OMUL Enjoys * The pleasant flavor, gentle action, and soothing effect of Syrup of Figs, when in need of a laxative, and if the father or mother be costive or IjlHous, the most > gratifying results follow its use; so that it is the best family remedy known and every family should have a bottle. « Ooafe&eMte Veterans’ Beunion.
