Dodd, Mr. and Mrs. Watkins left for Newnan, where they were tendered an elegant 6 o’clock dinner by the groom’s sister, Mrs. Wm. Byram. The pretty home of Mrs. Byram was beautifully decorated with palms, ferns and vio lets. and the refreshments were deli cious and substantial. A spirit of cheer and hospitality filled the home, and everyone entered into the joyous ness of the occasion. Mr. and Mrs. Watkins were accompanied to Newnan by Miss Tanner of Fairburn, Miss Dora Smith of Atlanta, Miss Tessie Smith of Palmetto, Mr. Robert Puckett of Moreland, Mr. Chas. Jackson of Pal metto, and Mr. Shannon, of Fairburn. On Wednesday the young couple left for Montgomery, Ala., where they were given a reception by friends in that city.

Miss Maud Hindsman, of Douglas- ! ville, is a pupil of the Mary Ray Me morial School for the spring term. She is a niece of Mrs. T. N. McWhorter, with whom she is boarding. Our school has an enrollment of sixty pupils.. About fifteen new pupils have been enrolled since Jan. 4. Miss Grace Martin has reopened her music class here. The pupils of Mary Ray Memorial School have organized a society, which has been named the “Mary Rav Debat ing and Literary Society.” The work of the society is a valuable supplement j to the school course, and it would be a mistake for any student not to become ] a member. The training to be had in 1 this society is of the greatest value. 1 and it is not believed that any other form of intellectual exercise can whol ly take its place. The officers of the society will be elected next Friday af-j ternoon. Raymond, Ga., Jan. 21st. Card of Thanks.
