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. The guests at supper were Governor- elect Jos. M. Brown and wife, Mrs. Jas. Hall of Brooklyn, N. Y., Capt.

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 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.

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.

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. Executors’ Sale.
