A beautiful party of last week was given Wednesday afternoon by the “Needle Craft” club at the home of Mrs. Chnrlev Delong and Mrs. Walter Hightower, Jr., in honor of Miss Inez Harrell, a bride elect and member of the club. The entire lower floor of the home was beautifully decorated for the occasion. The punch table in the dining room was adorned with a richly covered center-piece and surrounded by dainty cut glass bowls filled with violets and jonquils, the club flowers. The parlor and hall where the guests assembled were bright with baskets filled with these flowers and potted of palms and ferns. The club colors, purple and yel low, were effectively carried out in the decorations and refresh ments. Each guest was given a hand painted evelope in the club flow ers and asked to write something to the bride to be, these were sealed and dated to be opened after her marriage, each on sepa rate dates.

Change of Mail Word has been received in Me Donough that an order issued in Washington changes the delivery of our morning maii from the Co lumbus train to the Macon train. This means that we will again be subjected to a needless delay in receiving our morning mails, if we offer no protest. So, to have the order revoked, the patrons of this office should send a vigorous protest to the Washington officials through Sen ator T. W. Hardwick. Everyone expects gond service, and to get it we must demand it. And let us assure you that the postmaster wants to give you just that kind of service. He is in no way connected with the change mentioned above. Write to Senator Hardwick be fore you forget it. OBSERVER Be a booster. Smile and be happy. If it rains, don’t complain. Speak a good word, or don’t say “nothin.” Prof. Bail Elliott is all smiles— a boy. Clean up, paint up, and swat the fly. Be a booster —and pull for the Henry county fair. Be a garden booster, and raise everything you can. If war does come there will be some way. Have faith. Let’s try the old time way, buiscuit only once a day. Be a “driver to the right” boos ter, id traveling, walking, or talking. Be an economical booster, and cut all expenses you can. There are a lot of automobiles, ought to be a mule. Wanted —1,000 boosters for a big Henry county fair. School Commissioner T. J. Horton is scattering smiles and sunshine all along the way. War is a bad thing, it’s costly, kills folks, makes widows and orphans and ruins nations. It has been discovered that si.U hosiery is now being manufactur edlroin wood fibre. Wonder it | tins has any thing to do with the I high cost of paper? ! it was our pleasure to be with Bio. “Young Fellow,” one of The Weekly’s live and best correspon dents, for a short while Sunday afternoon. Thanks, tiro., for the nice compliment last week, One way to settle the prohibi tion question in Georgia is for the Legislature to pass a bill providing that all citzens be tied to their bed posts after night, and so kept at home. “Observer” will give a prize of $2.50 for the biggest watermelon raised in the county this year. The only condition of the contest is that each contestant before being entitled to participate, must agree to furnish us with one watermelon as an admission fee. It was our pleasure to attend the singing at Oakland church Sunday afternoon. It was a bright day, big crowd was present, aaid everybody was in a good singing mood. Earnest W. Barnett was master of ceremonies, and a num ber of good leaders were present to conduct the singing. Rev. M C. Liddell and Prof. T. J. Horton both gave live, interesting an i in spiring talks. Bro. Liddell while comparatively a stranger to our people, is winning his wav into the hearts of every one whom he comes in contact with, and is doing a wonderful and powerful work in our county. Card of Xhanks. We wisth to express our heart felt taanks to all our neighbors and friends for the kind attention and gentle sympathy shown us during the sickness and death of our companion and father.
