Misses Martin's Reception.
The reception given by Misses Jes
sie and Minnie Lou Martin in honor
of Mrs. T. S. Martin was one of the
most delightful affairs of the past
week. In spite of the threatening
weather a number of friends called
during the afternoon, and the gloom
without only served to heighten the
brightness and cheer within. Pink.
and white were used as the color
scheme, which was beautifully carried
out in the decorations, tall vases and
bowls of lovely pink and white roses
being placed on the piano and mantle
in the parlor. Miss Minnie Lou Mar
tin, in a lovely empire gown of blue
sousine silk, received the guests with
gracious cordiality. Misses Janie
Carraway and Claire Wooten served
punch on the porch, which, with its
vines and lovely foliage plants, was
a veritable ‘‘summer parlor.” The !
refreshments carried out the color
scheme, consisting of neapolitan
cream and cake in pink and white,
and were served in an alcove of the
hall. The handsome polished table
had as a center piece a tall vase of
bridesmaid roses on an exquisite
embroidered mat, while handsome
silver candelabras, holding pink and
white candles, were placed at each
end of the table. Bowls and vases
of fragrant pink and white roses
were placed on book cases and ta
bles. Handsome begonias placed in
the hall added to the attractiveness
of the whole. Miss Martin, who
wore a cream net, and Mrs. Martin,
in a dainty pink silk, were assisted
in receiving by Mrs. K. S Wor
thy, wearing a lovely lingerie prin
cess elaborately trimmed in Irish
point and baby Irish lace, and .\h‘s.!

where the game was plaved had for
their decorations roses i bowls and
vases placed on cabinets, piano and
table. The punch table, which was
presided over by Miss May Tweedy,
wearing an exquisite dress of white
wash chiffon and lace, and Miss Ma
mie Locke in a dainty blue silk, was
covered with feathery clematis, with
its white star-like flowers. Mrs. Hol
lingsworth was assisted in keeping
score by Miss Alice Melton, who wore
a blue embroidered swiss. Mrs. Hol
lingsworth, who, with her dainty
blonde coloring, was a perfect foil
for Mrs. Parks with her soft brown
hair and lovely brown eyes, was
gowned in white embroidered swiss
and lace, while Mrs. Parks wore a
dainty lingerie dress of white with
coral ornaments. Mrs. J. A. Shields

MR. SMITH IS STATISTICAL.
Compares the Cost of the City and
; Superior Courts.
} Editor of The News: I see from
your paper that we are to have a
vote on the city court. I think the
proposition is fair to both sides.
‘;\nd I hope that the executive com
‘mittee, when it meets on the 14th.,
;will pass a resolution calling for an
election on this question. I_see no
reason why it would not be entirely
satisfactory, and within the power of
the committee,
My individual view is that the
court is not a benefit, but an ex
pense, and that the court necessarily
adds to the burden of taxes which
the people have to pay. In the last
three years the city court has been
in session forty-two days at a cost
of $8,490.00—at the rate of $202.00
per day. In the last three years the
superior court was in session forty
nine days at a cost of $9,800.00
cost per day even $200.00. The
superior court costs less per day
than the city court, and vet the city
court has only twelve to twenty-four
jurors, and they are only paid $1.50
per day, while the superior court has
twenty-four grand jurors at $2.00
per day and from forty-eight to one
hundred petit jurors at $2.00 per
day. So it is clear tnat the city
court, instead of being a cheaper
court, as we thought it would be
when established, is in reality cost
ing more to run it than the superior
court. Jd. H. SMITH,

DAWSON VS. RICHLAND. i
The Home Boys Won From the Vis
itors in an Indifferent Game, ’
Again the Richland boys ('ame,l
saw and were conquered by the local
aggregation of ball players, the score
standing 9 to 3 at the final round
up. The game was not nearly so
interesting as the last 1 to 0 contest|
between these two teams, Dawson in
this case having a walkover from
the beginning.
In the second inning H. Melton's
base on balls, Pace’s sacrifice, Irwin’s
error and R. Melton’s two-bagger,
were responsible for two runs. Inl
the fourth R. Melton singled to cen
ter and made the round trip through
errors by Patton and French. H.
Melton singled in the sixth, stole
second and came home on outs of
Pace and Mcßae. In the next inning
a base on balls, a stolen base, two
errors and five hits registered five
more for the locals and put the hopes
of Richland rooters on cold storage.
The visitors were presented with
one in the third and two more in
the seventh, in the hope that these
would screw their courage to the
sticking pqint, but their courage re
fused to be trifled with in this man
ner.
The features of the game were the
batting of R. Melton and the grace
ful umpiring of! Mr. Hern Melton
of LaGrange.
The agony looked this way to the
scorer:
