A Pleasant Party.
One of the most enjoyable fea.
lures on the Oxford social calendar
fur this season was an entertain¬
ment on Thanksgiving evening by
Messrs. Horace and Perry Sandi
toid to their friends. In enter
tainii.g they were assisted by their
sistt-r, Miss Susie Sandiford.
1 he program of the entertain
ment was a novel one, aDd vach
feature a surprise. At first in se
lecting the couples the names of
the states were written on slips of
puper and distributed among the
y. ung men, and capitals of the
slates were in like manner given
out ‘o the young ladies. The trick
was for the young men to find their
“cipitais. > J After this, engage
ment cards were distributed among
the beaux and it was their busi
ness to make engagements for a
five minute chat with every lady
present. This was followed by
other unique features and late in
the evening refreshments were
served.
The last feature was a test in
memory. The guests peeped at a
table set with various things rang
ing from a Georgia goober to Pa
ri-an snow flakes. Couples re¬
membering 26 articles were allow¬
ed to draw for the prize of the ev¬
ening, which was a box of fine
stationery and was drawn by Mr.
Walter Bryan and Miss Lottie

A Pleasant Event.
A delightful event of the past
week was the surprise party given
Miss Emily Melton in honor of
her sixteenth birthday.
Friday evening a number of the
younger set met at the residence
of Mrs. W. F. Means and from
there called on this charming
member of their set. Miss Melton
proved herself equal to the ccca
soon by the delightful cordiality
with which she entertained her
guests.
Music and old fashioned games
,
filled the time most delightfully,
corn popping proving a distinctive
feature of the evening’s enjoy¬
ment. The occasion was in every
way most happy as are all affairs
occurring at this lovely home.

Tribute to H. H- Armstrong.
As announced in The Enterprise
a few days ago, Mr. H. H. Arm¬
strong, of Mansfield, has gone to
his reward, and in his death New¬
ton county has lost one of its
most valued and Highly esteemed
citizens.
In the last issue of the Mansfield
Leader Mr. H. L. Foster pays a
beautiiul tribute to Mr. Arm¬
strong. and The Enterprise takes
pleasure in being able to give to
this tribute its endorsement by re¬
publishing it as follows:
As I appear in this column, I
need not say that in the death ot
brother Armstrong. Mansfield has
lost one of her most worthy and
honored citizens, that a home has
lost a devoted father and that nu¬
merous and admiring friends have
lost one of the truest and best of
friends. I know the citizens of
Mansfield echo universal response
when I say that “Truly a prince
and great man in Israel has fallen. ) 5
If I know my heart tonight I
would not indulge a sentence that
spoke of fulsome flattery, or pay an
undeserved or unmerited com¬
pliment in speaking of the life cf
brother Armstrong. This indeed,
would be a work, were I so dis¬
posed, of super-rogation, for I
find an embarrassment in my in¬
ability to give words expressive of
what my heart really feels at this
hour.
I do not know the date of his
marriage, but that union has
blessed this community with
three sons and one daughter; com¬
ing from the rich, Christian in¬
fluences that flowed from this
home where God was enthroned
and where God reigned and where
Gud ruled. 1 will turn aside here
to urge you to follow his example
in the home, in the at mosphere in
which your children must be
trained.
In 1862 the call of his country
came to him and he lelthis home
and marched with his fellows to
the front in detence of the coun¬
try which he loved, and the govern¬
ment which he vowed to protect.
For the remaining part of the war
ho gave his life to the service of
the cause that he loved next best
to his home and to his God. Go¬
ing with the soldiers of Georgia, in
Cobb’s cavalry, he did valiant
service in protection of the South¬
ern states. He was, no doubt, a
good soldier. A man like brother
Armstrong could not have been
otherwise than a good soldier. I
do not believe in indulging in lan¬
guage that is not warranted by
facts, and when I make this state¬
ment it is by authority of a com¬
rade who served with him in the
war from 1862 to the surrender in
1865.
He was united with the Carmel
Baptist chv.ch back in the seven¬
ties—giving his life wholly to God
and consequently in riper years he
had not the garnering of wild oats,
of which so many men speak as if
they had to sow, and that mar the
beauty of the character of so many
Christian men.
He was loyal to his church.
f
Just this morning did we hear his
pastor say. in substance, ’‘During
my stay in brother Armstrong’s
heme I have entered my pulpit
feeling an inspiration from the
prayers which I knew were being
offeree^ by that paralyzed man in
behalf of me and my waiting con
gregation.” And not only m the
church of which he was a member
was he interested, but all people of
all denominations, and people of
no denomination, were blessed by
the hallowed influence that
radiated from the life of this man.
Too broad to confine his heart to
denominations, I am told that
wherever he went he carried sun¬
shine and gladness and tried to
leave every community that he
touched better than that commu¬
nity was when he found it.
As a husband his friends tell me
he was tender and considerate.
Mutually bearing the burdens of
the family and of the house-hold
with the woman he had vowed to
honor and to protect, never refus¬
ing to touch even his house-hold
drudgeries, if thereby he could
make the home happier, and the
burdens of his helpmate lighter.
As a father, I knew him. He
was kind and gentle, patient and
affectionate, but with all firm and
positive, without which elements
of character home training and
home discipline are always a
failure.
As a neighbor he won the love
and respect of all about him, as
was shown during the long months
of his affliction. It was beauti¬
ful, it was pleasing, it was
pathetic—as it has been described
to me—to see the neighbors living
close to him entering his home,
especially during his last illness,
stepping with soft tread, uncover¬
ed heads that were bowed in sor¬
row ; they loved him because they
knew better than any one else the
true worth of this man.
It has been my privilege to know
brother Armstrong only three
months. Although his hair was
gray and he has been bo afflicted
since I have known him, some
how I have never regarded him as
such and old man. Always serene
and full of love, full of interest in
our school work and his sou’s a d
vancement—fuli of interest in-
everything that U «ked to
