Christmas in McDonough.
The Christmas season in Mc-
Donough just passed has been ore
of the most pleasant and delight
ful for a long time.
The true spirit of the season
w r as observed by all and universal
quiet reigned throughout the town
and community.
There have been many dinings
and social affairs throughout the
entire holiday season and it would
be almost impossible to give a dis
tinct and separate article about
each one.
The masque party at the court,
house on Thursday evening was
the most brilliant social affair of
the entire holiday season. There
were nearly 300 guests present,
among them being many visitors
from the surrounding country.
Everyone present enjoyed the oc
casion to the fullest.
All McDonough has well and
truly observed the Christmas sea
son and felt the true spirit of the
time commemorating the blessed
Saviour’s birth.
