courses comprising the menu repre
senting the fine art in cookery for which
this popular hostelrie is famous. The
table, which extended the full length
of the dining-room, was prettily deco
rated, the sheen of silver and sparkle
of cut-glass adding smartly to the pret
ty effect, lent by the brilliant carnations
and soft-petab d roses grouped in vases
here and there. There was no speech-
making. It was simply a representative
gathering of Newnan people, assembled
to do honor in a social way to a couple
of distinguished visitors. The supper
lasted until 10, and was followed by an
infomal reception in the hotel parlors.

According to the New York World
the Democratic party is neither dead
nor half-dead. It polled ti,398, 182 votes
last fall, an increase of 1.815,211 over
11*04, as against a Republican increase
of 14,190. It elected Governors in Ohio.
Indiana, Minnesota, Nebraska. Colora
do, Montana and North Dakota. It has
gained a United States Senator in In
diana and also in Oregon. "Statistics,
however, tell only a small part of the
story of the rehabilitation of the Dem-:
ocratic party,” says The World. “The !
old factional feuds are dead. The coun- !
try is united again. It is in better con- j
dition than it has Inen since 1.892, and
has every prospect of being in still bet-1
ter condition two years trom no v than
it is to-day.”
The revenue of the State for 1908 \
showed an increase of more than half a
million dollars over 1907, according to
the report of State Treasurer Park. The
exact figures showing the increase in
the revenue over 1907 are : For 1908,
$5,888,273.16; for 1907, *4.818,704.83 ;
increase, *574, SOS.33.

the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. F. Cul
pepper.
The Lone Oak Social Club was most
pleasantly entertained Friday evening
by Miss Margaret Herring at a valen
tine party at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
G. G. Culpepper. The decorations
throughout were tastefully adapted to
the occasion, hearts being conspicuous
ly in evidence, in the course of the
evening dainty refreshments were
served in the dining-room. The favors
were hearts. Following the supper an
archery contest formed a novel feature
of the entertainment, a heart serving
as a target for the arrows from Cupid’s
bow, kindly lent by him for the occa
sion. The successful contestant among
the young ladies was Miss Marie Sew
ell, who received as a prize'a pretty
hand-painted blotter. Mr. Edward
Nall won the gentleman’s prize, a pipe-
rack, with pen and ink decoration. The
postoffice offered a convenient medium
for the exchange of amatory tokens,
and afforded its share of amusement.
The Misses Bonder will next entertain
the club.
Last Sunday’s services at Prospect,
conducted by the pastor, Rev. A. H. S.
Bugg, were attended by a goodly num
ber. Evening services were again in

Will Mark Confederate Graves.
Washington. D. C—Marble monu-1
menu-about thirty feet in height and
suitably inscribed are to be erected by
tlie United States Government to mark
the resting-plaees'of the soldiers of the ;
Confederate army in the cemetery at i
North Alton, 111., and in the Greenlawn I
cemetery at Indianaublis, Ind. The 1
bodies of 1,353 Confederate soldiers
were buried in the Alton cemetery and
1.620 in the Indianapolis cemetery dur
ing the Civil War. In these cases it
was found impossible to identify the
bodies of individuals and give each
grave a separate headstone, as provided
b> law. The Secretary of War has ap
proved an allotment of Sti.000 for each
of the two monuments—one for each
cemetery- -to take the place of individ
ual headstones.

ver in the mine.

Local Option Wins in South Carolina.
Columbia, S. C\, Feb. 15.—After a
sensational filibuster lasting several
days prohibition has been killed in this
State. The Senate has a majority of
four for local option, and the House is
equally as close.
The local option forces in the House
are well organized to demand calls on
hundreds of amendments. The General
Assembly will adjourn Saturday, which
means that the prohibition movement
will fail.
Deputy Sheriff and Son Shot.
Carrollton, Ga., Feb. 16.—While at
tempting to arrest a negro for a minor
offense. Deputy Sheriff E. T. Jones, of
Carroll county, and his son, Charlie
Jones, were both shot and wounded yes
terday 6 miles south of Carrollton.
Charlie! Jones may be seriously wound
ed, but his father was not badly hurt.
The negro was found at a house and
opened fire through a window. He
made his escape.
None but the well-bred man knows
how to confess a fault, or acknowledge
himself in error.
Old boys have their playthings as
well as young ones; the difference is
only in the price.
Drive thy business, or it will drive
you.
