BEAUTIFUL BANQUET
The Civitan. Have One Of Mott Suc
cessful Events Of Old Year.
The second annual banquet of the
Barnesville Civitan club, held in the
dining hall of the Sixth District A.
& M. School Tuesday evening, De
cember 30th, was one of the most
beautiful and enjoyable events ever
held in Barnesville. There were
about one hundred and fifteen Civi
tans and guests present and there
was not a dull moment during the
three hour program.
The dining hall was simply beauti
ful in its appropriate Christmas dec
orations and every arrangement and
appointment were ideal for the even
ing’s entertainment. In fact, words
can not fully portray the scene or
express the pleasure of the occasion.
There was not the slightest thing to
interfere with the success of the de
lightful event and everybody was
unanimous in saying that it was never
excelled as an etnertainment in this
community.
A magnificent turkey dinner was
served by the members of the wo
men’s clubs of the city, who have
contributed so much to the success
of the Civtan club, and that means
that this feature was all that anyone
could ask or expect.
The program delighted everybody
present and it is not believed that it
could have been any better, either
in its arrangement and subjects cov
ered or in the character of the va
rious numbers. Amusement was
there in abundance and yet it was a
wel-balanced program, the musical
numbers and the several toasts pro
viding a real feast for the mind and
soul.
The orchestra, composed of Messrs.
Walter B. Smith, Jr., and Truman
Lifsey and Miss Elizabeth Eley, fur
nished splendid music during the
evening. Miss Elizabeth Anderson
and Mrs. Arthur Jackson played the
accompaniments for the singers. Mr.
Walter &. Smith, Jr., acted as Santa
Claus and presented gifts to different
ones, which usually produced much
merriment. Everybody seemed anx
ious to contribute everything possible
to the success of the occasion.
The following was the program:
B. H. Hardy, president of the Civitan
club, acting as master of ceremonies;
Rev. L. W. Browder leading the
opening prayer: Reading, Miss
Ailene Corry; song, Mrs. H. E. Arm
strong; song, Mr. and Mrs. W. A.
Prout, Jr.; reading, Mrs. Howard Col
lier; song Miss Jessie Collier; song,
Mrs. Sam Porch; Toasts: Our wo
men, Dr. John A. Corry; Our Civi
tans, Mrs. Emmett Coleman; Our
churches, R'ev. MaVvin Franklin; Our
clubs, Mrs. L. A. Collier; Our boys,
Ben Hardy, Jr.; Our girls, Mrs. Jack
Bush; Our hosts, Mrs. Ben Turner;
Tell us what you promised, Mrs. Ar
thur Jackson; Our country, Curtis
Barrett; Our future, Rev. Arthur
Jackson —all these were extraordi
narily fine.
Each lady present was presented
with a lovely Japanese basket filled
with fine candy, with a card enclosed
on which was the following:
With Appreciation for Our
Ladies.
The Civitan Club,
Barnesville, Ga.
Christmas, 1924.
In presenting the attendance prize
for the ladies each lady was given
a beautiful little box of candy, con
taining a card, on which each wrote
her name, these cards being later
placed in a hat and the third one
drawn out being entitled to the ex
quisite seven-pound box of Nunnal
ly’s candy, Joe Smith and Gene Arm
strong being in charge of this fea
ture, Miss Doris Collier being given
the big box. Col. E. O. Dobbs was
awarded the gentleman’s prize, a gold
pencil, Lieutenant Coursey and Em
mett Coleman being in charge of this
feature.
Prof, and Mrs. T. O. Galloway,
whose co-operation and assistance
aided greatly all the others who so
generously had a part in the success
of the event, have the thanks of
everybody for their kindness.
The banquet came to its close with
a song by the club, “Good Night, La
dies.”
Miss Fannie May Porch, who has
a government position in Washing
ton, D. C., and Miss Faith Porch,
who is teaching in Marietta, Ga.,
have been the guests of the family
of their mother, Mrs. Fannie Porch,
during the past week.

the Three Arts club at the First
Methodist church Sunday evening,
when all the congregations of the
city joined in the service, was thor
oughly enjoyed by a large audience,
the church being crowded to capaci
ty.
The music was excellent and
throughout the fine program it had
the enthusiastic approval of every
body present. The Three Arts club

on so splendid an entertainment for
the community.

holiday season was the “stag” dinner
at which Mrs. 0. J. Hermann enter
tained in honor of Mr. Hermann last
Friday evening, December 26th, at
six o’clock.
The rooms were artistically dec
orated with a profusion of holly,
mistletoe and other holdiay greens,
while beautiful red carnations formed
the central dining room decorations.
The Christmas color scheme of red
and green was carried out in detail.
On the dining table the carnations
made a beautiful centerpiece, eur
rounded by sprigs of mistletoe and
holly, artistically arranged. Mark
ing each guest’s place was a dainty
place-card, consisting of a small
burning red Christmas candle in a
cream holder (which also bore the
names) with shade of red, which cast
a soft glow over all.
The dinner, served in six courses,
was delicious, with turkey and all ac
companying deiectables, to delight
the palates of the guests.

William T. Summers, Councilmen
Howard Collier, J. T. Middlebrooks,
