The social event of the week has
been the reception on Thursday even¬
given by Miss Theo Burr to Miss
Little, of Ft. Smith, Miss Em¬
Barr, of Macon, and Mies Mary
of Griffin. The guests included
most of the yonng people of Griffin
and every one present was
in the expression that the even¬
ing was a most enjoyable one. There
was a beautifully lighted lawn, mns-
dancing and refreshments, and
above all the inspiring presence of
three most lovely and charming
yonng buds in whose honor the af¬
fair came off.
Newnan Herald: “The surveying
party on the Greenville and Newnan
reached this city yesterday
morning. This is the preliminary
survey, but the route marked out is
so practicable in every way that it
will probably be adopted without
material change. The route survey¬
ed passes directly through Luther¬
ville, and parallels the Atlanta and
West Point road almost the entire
distance from Moreland to Newnan.
Capt. Cross informs us that it is
practically an air line; in fact, the
preliminary survey does not deflect
from an air line more than three-
fourths of a mile at any point, and
even this will be reduced when the
route is finally located.”
There is the usual announcement o
preliminary autumn styles, every in¬
terest sounding its own trumpet nnd
declaring its leadership oi all the
rest. Was there ever a year when
Scotch plaids were not heralded, when
it was not announced that it was to
be a “velvet” year, and when we did
not, after all, fall back upon plain
doth as the proper wear. Yet plaid-
ed wools are always with us, and vel¬
vet also; and there is a distinguished
lady of middle age, in Boston, who
for society wear, into which she goes
a good deal, only has two gowns, a
best and second best black velvet.
The best is kept for grand occasions,
the second best for “mixed” affairs,
yet she is considered a woman of
taste and distinction in dress, though
she has adhered to her plan for per¬
haps fifteen years. But she knows
how to give touches of old lace or
embroidery and always makes then?

me space in your paper to thunk the
gentlemen and ladies who have been
so kind as to assist me in nursing
my husband in his present illness.
The clouds were very dark and drear
when they cam# to my assistance,
as we were dependent upon his labor
for a support. There are some
whom I would like especially to
thank, only that I know they were
too truly and sincerely charitable to
desire any newspaper notice, so I
will not mention them by name.
Words fail to express my apprecia-
tioh, as well as that of my husband,
