The change of pastors for the new
ecclesiastical year resulted in remov
ing from Forsyth station Rev. Jno. R.
Parker, whose record among our peo
ple for the two past years stamps him
as an earnest, zealous, faithful pastor
and servant in the Lord’s vineyard.
His constant labors during his stay
among us evidence the fact that his
chief desire is to do good, to make bet
ter and to elevate the people. Likewise
was the influence of his faithful wife,
who, as a willing servant, was ever
ready to work whenever and wherever
a field or v opportunity presented—of
that refining nature which rendered
her stay with us profitable as well as
pleasant. On Friday morning Rev. and
r Mrs. J. R. Parker left Forsj-th. for Grant-
▼ille circuit, their new field of labor.
May abundant success crown their ef
forts to do good in that field.—Forsyth
Advertiser.
A Surprise Party.
Last Tuesday evening several young
'pociety gentlemen of the town got to
gether and concluded to give Prof, and
Mrs. Daniel Walker and Mrs. Hattie
Arnall a surprise party. Suiting the
action to the word, each gentleman
armed himself with a lady escort, pro
cured a pound ot confections of one
sort or another, and straightway laid
seige to the hospitable home referred
to. It is scarcely uscessarv to add that
they were soon in possession of the
premises and having things pretty
much their own way, and, like most
impromptu affairs, it was all the more
enjoyable by reason of the delightful
informality Srkich characterized the
occasion.
Excellent music, both vocal and in
strumental, was lornished by Miss
Jimmie Lou Thompson, Miss Morn
Hall, Miss Lena Smith of Hogansville,
and Miss Seals of Rome, who won
the hearty applause of the. company
by their charming renditions. The
singing of Miss Seals and the playing
of Miss Smith were especially admired.
Refreshments were served in due
season, which, merged with the “flow
of soul” that had already been set in
motion, comprised an entertainment
of unusual interest and enjoyment, and
one that will not soon be forgotten by
the pleased participants.
The Band Concert.
Owing ta the inclemency of the
weather and other miltiating causes,
the attendance at the concert given by
the Meehaniea’ Brass Band last Friday
night was not so large as it would oth
erwise have been, but it was sufficiently
large to voice the applause which the
performance so richly merited, and
these evidences of appreciation were
manifested in a way that left, no doubt
as to the thorough enjoyment of every
one present.
; The programme was a most attractive
one, comprising vocal and instrumental
music, recitations, etc., *and lasted
about two hours. The band music was
excellent; the instrumental and vocal
solos, duets and quartettes, most ad
mirably aad skillfully executed; the
recitations, well chosen and happily
rendered.
Tim phantom oratory and amateur
minstrelsy ot Mr. R. E. Simril was au
unexpected departure frsm the dignifi
ed exercises that both preceded and
followed kis advent, but he sustained
the different parts so well the house
was kept in an uproar as long as he
remained on the stage.
The concert was repeated on Monday
night, and from the two entertainments
we understand quite a neat sum was
realized. They richly earned every
cent that was made, though, and had
the weather been pleasanter would
have done better.

Miss Annetta Zelua, as Mrs. Cather

Perhaps one of the happiest events
of the holidays was the marriage, on
Monday morning, the 26th inst., at the
residence of the bride’s mother in this
city, of Miss Gussie Hollis to Rev. II
T. Etheridge, of Pearson, Ga. The
ceremony uniting these young lives was
performed in the presence of a few
friends, in a most felicitous and im
pressive manner, by the Rev. Dr. Cal
loway, of Oxford, Ga.
Few young people start out in life
under more auspicious circumstances.
The bride ha# a large number of devo
ted friends in Newnan, and is one of
the fairest and most popular of our
many lovely and cultivated young
women, while the groom is a talented
and promising young member of the
South Georgia Conference. The Her
ald and Advertiser congratulates
Mr. Etheridge in thus securing so fittin
a
one of usefulness—consecrated as it if
to the service of the Master.
The happy couple leave to-day for
their new home in Pearson, accompan
ied by the best wishes of devoted rela
tives and admiring friends. The fol
lowing were among the bridal gifts;

for the prizes. After much puzzling a
conclusion was finilly reached, and
Col. L. P, Barnes was requested to an
nounce the decision of the judges.
Mounting a chair in the hall, midway
between the phrlor^ he called Miss
Willie Orr and Orin Clarke before him,
and with a few appropriate remarks pre
sented each with a prize as the tackiest
boy and girl in the room. While there
were several others deserving of “hon
orable mention,” the committee being
really at a loss to determine who were
best entitled to the prizes, yet the cos
tumes of those mentioned were so con
spicuously' grotesque that they were
finally voted prizes as the “tackiest”
belle and beau of the occasion.
About 9 o’clock Mrs. Annie Melson,
who had assisted her little sister in pre
paring for the entertainment, marched
the young couples into the dining
room, where a sumptuous repast was
spread. It is needless to remark that
this constituted one of the most enjoy
able features of the programme, wlieTe,
having given further evidence of their
“tackey” manners, the young people
separated for the night and wended
t heir way homeward—and to bed.
The “B. N.” Club Reception.
The “E. N.” Club is a mystic social
organization composed exclusively of
young ladies, aad oa Tuesday evening
lust aa elegant reception was tendered
by the Club at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. John S. Hollinshead, on Green
ville street. Fully a hundred invitations
were issued, and it has been already re
corded as one of the numerous brilliant
and successful holiday events that have
enlivened our society siace the opening
of the season.
The committee of reception was
composed of. Misses Fannie Divine,
Pauline Faver, Ruby Ray, Kate An
drews, Florence Wofford, Sallie Sim
ril, Pollie Huen, Daisy Dews, Lula
Stokes, Minnie Peddy, Margaret Her
ring, Nannie Sue Hill and Mamie Sis-
trunk, assisted by Mrs. Hollinshead,
who performed this pleasant office so
weil and so satisfactorily that the
guests were made to feel thoroughly at
home at the start, and entered into the
enjoyment of the evening’s festivities
with A zest that was pleasing to see.
Extensive arrangements had been
made for’the entertainment of the
young people, and no detail was omit
ted that could enhance their pleasure
or the general enjoyableness of the oc
casion. The supper was superb, and
served in a style that betokened the
qiost elaborate preparation.
The young ladies of the “E. N.”
Club have good reason, to be proud of
the success of their maiden effort in the
social line, and still further cause fpr
gratulation that it has been eclipsed
by no similar entertainment this sea
son.
Among those f-rom a distance who
graced the occasion with their presence
were Miss Cade Sparks of Rome, Miss
Mary Goodwyn of the Sixth district,
and Messrs. Amicus and Talmage Pen
dleton, Will Heard, AY ill Havis, Will
Kirby and Heard Dent, of Atlanta.
COMING AMUSBMENT3.
Adelaide Randall.
The charming Southern prima donna,
Adelaide Randall, will give one of her
splendid productions of comic opera at
the Opera House to-night, assisted by
her excellent company of lyric artists.
The charming opera entitled “Madame
Boniface,” adapted from the French
by Col. Milliken, will be presented.
The following complimentary notice is
reproduced from a late is.sue of the
Natchez (Miss.) Democrat:
Last night a tail' sized audience
greeted Adelaide Randall and her
bright little company on ner first, ap-
companion for . life which can but be j g«nee here ti™
that could possibly have been attracted
to the opera bouse on such a night.
The opera of “Madame Boniface”
is one that lias never before been pre
sented here and it is one ot the best
ever heard. In the title role Miss Ran
dall is all thateou d possibly be wished
for. Her voice is superb ami her acting
most, natural throughout, and the hear
ty encores she receifed last evening
were evidence enough to convince her
of the hold she lias uppn the music
loving public of this cat j. Too much
cannot be said of her support. It is
simply magnificent and no doubt the
little prima donna is proud of it. Miss
lloyl is particularly goo i and her solo
in the first act was received with thun
dering applause.
