BARNES VILLE, GA., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1903.
TOUR OF NATIONS.
I must, tell the readers of the
News-Gazette of a recent trip
all round the world within a few
hours time that surpassed any
former experience or any that I
could hope to have should I live
a thousand years! Other cities
and countries have far excelled
us perhaps in many things.
Barnesville has ever been . noted
for its pluck, energy and enter
prise, her men have ever been
alert, wide-awake and always
pushing to the front; but it re
mains for the women of Barnes
ville by their inventive genius*
indomitable courage and won
derful perseverance to manipulate,
plan and carry into execution a
mode of rapid transportation
which Jules Verne in his wildest
flights of imagination has not con
ceived and Gulliver in his most
wonderful trave'shas not equaled!
It has ever been one of the cher
ished dreams of my life to see
something of this great big world
in which w3 live, to cross the
broad ocean, to tread upon foreign
soil, to come in contact with dif
ferent nationalities, see some
thing of “how the other half
live”. So, when this grand op
portunity presented itself, accom
panied with little fatigue, con
suming so little time and fraught
with so many pleasant experien
ces, exciting adventures, amus
ing incidents and last but by no
means least, costing so little
money I gladly availed myself of
it and will try, for the benefit of
those who failed to take advan
tage of the opportunity of their
lives, to convey some faint idea
of this most wonderful tour. The
space allowed me in these columns
will not suffice to give even a faint
description of the many countries
included in this tour, so I ill
only touch upon the four that
impressed me most —namely.
Great Britain, Japan, Greece and
America.
Naturally a visit to one’s
mother country is fraught with
peculiar pleasure and interest, so
Old England the great country
whose be it is that the sun
never sets on her possessions, the
country over which the peerless
Queen yjetoria reigned so long
and so successfully, the country
whose power and influence has
been felt throughout the world,
elicited her share of admiration
from the hundreds of tourists wiio
came within her borders.
The magnificent home of Mr.
and Mrs. C. O. Summers repre
sented Great Britain, and, as we
as a nation, were on good terms
with the great “Brittish Lion,”
his roar did not one
bit and fearlessly we entered the
realm of royalty and enjoyed to
the fullest extent a glimpse of
I England, Scotland and Ireland.
r l| .|cene in the English room
was Tine of extraordinary magnifi
cence. Peers in their gorgeous
robes weariug the coronets of their
order, beautiful women resplend
ent in their exquisite robes and
shining with white jewels, the.
throne decorated with the royal
arms upon which their majesties
sat —was grand and beautiful. A
presentation to royalty was an
unlooked for honor. The Kings ad
miration and appreciation of our
own America was not forgotten,
and in all friendliness and cordi
ality, we joined in the plaudits of
his subjects and from our heart we
could say, “God save King Ed
ward and his gracious Queen
Alexandria! Royalty was person
ated by Mr. W. C. Stafford and
Mrs. Erie Murphey and well did
they perform their part. Of all
people on earth the English are
the great entertainers, the tea,

Entertained Young People.
Mr. and Mrs. D. L. Anderson
entertained a number of the young
people of this city at a “Trail"
party last Wednesday evening
On arriving at the home on Zebu
lon street the young people were
made welcome at this hospitable
home in a very cordial manner by
their host and hostess. They were
conducted into the parlor where a
number of tables were arranged
for the games to be played during
the evening. The party was soon
absorbed in “Trail” and this held
their attention for several hours
after which a delightful course
of refreshments was served to the
assembled guests. These were
very delicious and the greatly en
joyed. When the party rose to
depart they were unstinted in theiv
praises of the hospitality of these
people and expressed themselves
as highly delighted with the even
ings entertainment.

Olive Williams, Annie Lamhdin,
Lucile Blackburn, Mary Stroud,

A Prominent Visitor.
Mr. W. D. Sturm, General Man
ager of The Bell & Coggeshall
Mf’gCo.,of Louisville, Ky., spent
several days this .week with Mr.
T. S. Yates, their representative
in this section, and while here
they closed several big lumber
deals which mean much to the
mill men of this section. They
are now taking the output of 10
saw mills in this section. Mr,
Sturm is a business man of the
very .best type and is general
inanagef of one of the largest
irtsmrittfcieturjng plants of the-kijid
in that section. Their plant has
lately been increased and now
consumes 100 thousand feet of
lumber daily.
Mr. Yates has already shipped
them over 100 cars of lumber. He
is an able representative and they
could not have secured the ser
vices of a better man.
Delightful Entertainment.
Ono of the most pleasant social ;
functions that have come to pass
recently was the entertainment
given Monday evening by Dr. and
JMrs. E. C. Ripley in compliment
toMissesNell and Dove Marchman. j
Dr. and Mrs. Ripley welcomed
their guests to their home with a
gracious hospitality and made
them feel at ease immediately.
They then entered into their games
witli zest equal to that of young
people. “Trail,” “Flinch”and likej
gomes constituted the chief amuse- ;
ments interspersed w ith music by
the various members of the party.
After indulging in these diver
sions for a sufficient length of time
the guests were served delicious;
ambrosia and delicate wafers for
refreshment .
Many were the expressions of
genuine pleasure from the young
people as t he began to disperse and
all were charmed with their host
and hostess and the guests of
honor.
Those participating in the even
ings pleasure were: Misses Pris
cilla Stroud, Mary Stroud, Olive
Williams, Lucile Blackburn, Ann if
Lambdin, Mr. and Mrs. D. 1,.
