Newspaper Page TextThe Henry County Weekly VOL. XXXII 8 MRS. WOODS ENTERTAINS MOST DELIGHTFULLY. Mrs. James E. Woods most de lightfully entertained her class and the teachers of Fairview Sunday School, Saturday evening. The guests were entertained on the lawn which was a secne of love liness. festoned with Japanese lan terns. The spacious lawn was cool and attractive with its rustic chairs, rockers, benches and swings. A “Dude contest” —the object being to pin his tie in the proper place while blind folded —gave rise to amusing interest. Another amusing feature .was a “Shadow Circus,” this afforded much inter esting fun to the young people. On the flower-decked tables un der the trees delicate cakes and creams were served. Here the entire party made a charming picture with the tableau lights. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Bosworth Jr., of Atlanta, in their pleasing, gen ial ways, assisted in entertaining the guests. Mrs. Woods was most happy in her hospitality. DELTA GROVE. Our farmers are very much, in need of rain. Messrs. H. H. and T. C. Kelley are on the sick list again. Mr. R. R. Crumbley is rejoicing at the arrival of a new emigrant at his home—another girl. Mrs. Florence Green visited rela tives in the Gate city last week. Our church has been given a new coat of white, which adds much to • its appearance. Messrs. J. H., J. A. and H. J. Phil lips and their families visited rela tives in our community last Sun day.

Mr. Simpson is an inter esting preacher and we hope he will have large congregations to greet him at every service. Our people are wondering if Mr. W. E. Owen can ever feel right again when he descends to earth from the extreme heights to which Col. J. T. O. puffed him in last week’s issue of The Weekly, grant ing that the gifted Col. exaggerat ed somewhat, Mr. Owens does de serve much credit for the impor tant truths he is demonstrated to our farmers, many of whom are coming every day to see the beau tiful corn.
