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.

of the newest love songs and also
gave a splendid reading “In the
usual way.” Mrs. Claud Moseley
played the popular wedding
marches.

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 was our pleasure to be with
Bio. “Young Fellow,” one of The
Weekly’s live and best correspon

afternoon. Thanks, tiro., for the

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.

We wisth to express our heart
felt taanks to all our neighbors

given by them, and we shall ever
ask the blessings of God upon
them.

Struck by Lightning.
The cotton shed of Mr. Lovett

and managed to put out the fire
by scattering the bales in the'rain.
His horse, which was hitched to
the buggy, ran around the lot and
was also damaged when it was

was a strenuous time with Mr.
Glass for a short while.
