The refreshments were choice and abundant; the music sweet, soulful aud varied; the social interconrse conge nial, delightful, happy. Thus beguiled, the hours slipped by almost uncon sciously, and it was near midnight be fore the company finally dispersed, thoroughly charmed with the evening’s as if a serious conflagration would re sult. By prompt action the flames were soon extinguished, however, and with but little damage. The weather for two or three days past has been just too lovely for any thing. Everybody came to town Tuesday.

Mr. T. J. Wilkinson and family, of Palmetto, have taken up their resi dence in Newnan, occupying the brick cottage opposite Broom’s warehouse. Edwin Sharpe, Jr., and his sister, Miss Annie, were in the city yester day, and left on the evening train for West Point, whither they go to visit relatives. Go to J. T.

It was gotten up in a style that could not have been excelled, either for tastefulness or ele gance, while the character of the menu was such as could not fail to suit the varying tastes of all.

We had the pleasure of meeting up on our streets this week Mr. C. H.

Broadwater was destroyed by fire, together with most of its contents. The house was occupied by Mack Hum phries,. colored, bilt at the time of the fire the family was absent from home on hand promptly on a visit. It was clearly the work of an incendiary, as there had been no fire in the house for two or three days, and an investigation resulted in finding two feather-beds belonging to Hum phries in possession of one Ben Terrell, colored. Several bed-quilts were also found secreted in the woods near his house, which were identified as the! property of Humphries.
