Returning#
As this is vacation weok, most of the
school children left for the country the
first of the week, where they might enjoy
their brief holiday in peace. But already
wo find them coming back, with tanned
cheeks and murmurs ugainst the mosqui

somehow they suffered from it more than
they anticipated. Verily this n strange
world.
Closing at Six.
As the heated season approaches it re
minds us that it will beabcut tbe time,
if the usual custom of our merchants is
kept up, for closing doors at six. Our
business men hear an enviable reputa
tion for their liberality in such matters,
and have always been ready and willing
to allow tho late hours of the dull sum
mer afternoons to their employees. Wo
suppose tho movement will ere long be
innnguiated.
Society Notes#
Last Monday evening a party was giv
an at tbe residence of Col. A. S. Cutts by
his daughter Miss Inez, in honor of Miss
Mollie Taylor, of ThomasvUle, who was
visiting Miss Inez, and who left for her
home on Tuesday morning. Quite u
number of young people were present,und
a pleasant evening was passed. Miss Tay
lor made numerous friends during her
stay here, who were loth to have her leave,
and who hope, ere long, to receive anoth
er and longer visit from he;*.
To-night, at tbe residence of Col. W. A.
Hawkins, his daughters will give u party
which will no doubt be enjoyable and
well attended.

It is a very pretty affair, and will look
well on tho water, although its seating
capacity is not sufficient to accommodate

had the satisfaction of seeing that Wil

grutulated ourself that we were not the
only local in the world thAt was howling
around for news. Something must be
done, gentlemen, uoil that soon, too.
Next week the “old men" will bo off for
Augusta, where they will indulge in

in town. Willingham, we sympathize

This club is now in u fair way to sue

judge fully from the interesting exercises
of lost Monday evening. Were it not
that it is wholly of a private nature, we
would like to publish a synopsis of the
programme as rendered, in order that the
older people may see that talent of more
than ordinary merit is being developed
among the young people. The exercises,
although longer than usual, were the
out interesting the club has yet had.
Long may it live.
