The Baraca Class of the Central Bap tist church enjoyed a fine supper on Thursday night of last week in the of fices of Col. J. Littleton Jones. It was purely an informal affair, however, b okin only bv a short address from Dr. J. S. Hardaway, and by brief 'slks from different members of the cla-s It was decided to make the sup per an annual event in future. flist church, the pupils of the Sunday,, school were entertained with twenty stereopticon views illustrating various scenes in the life of Christ, lrom His birth to His resurrection,. There were twenty-eight views, und each was an impressive lesson to t.he little folks. The entertainment was planned by Mr. I). T. Mnnget, superintendent of the school, nnd was both interesting nnd instructive. Miss (Villa Holt Wakefield, of New York, spent n couple of days last week with her brother, Mr. Jesse R. Holt.

In fact, no casualties were reported from any section of the county, and there was hut little rowdyism— attribu table in part, perhaps, to the execra ble weather, which was so cold and sloppy on Christmas Day as to effect ually dampen the enthusiasm of would- be celebrants. There were numerous dinings and family gatherings during the week, however, and these func tions furnished much enjoyment to the favored guests and homecoming k ms- people. Taken alogelt.er, though, it has been a dull Christmas. The marriage of Miss Frances King and Mr. Holmes Cheney occurred Wed nesday evening at the home of the bride’s uncle, Col. It. A. Denny, in Rome. The ceremony was performed by Rev. G. A. Nunnnlly. and only the relatives and close friends witnessed the marriage. Miss Sara King, a sis ter of the bride, was maid of honor, and the onlv attendai t. Succeeding the informal reception which followed the wedding, the young couple left upon an extended brutal tour before going to their home in Birmingham. The groom is a nephew of Mre. Jack Rowell, of this city, and is well-known in Newnun. A very enjoyable affair was the spend-the-day party at which little Miss Mildred Hodge entertained a few of her friends in honor of Misses Cecil and Evelyn Williams, of the Baptist Orphans’ Home, at Hnpeville, on Christmas Day. After a round of mer ry games a Christmas dinner of Heveral courses was served. The decorations were of the usual Christmas colors, (green and red.)

She has had many flattering offers from theatrical managers, hut after deliber ation has decided to devote her gemuo to concert work. Miss Davies is well- known in Newnan, her family having resided here for several years before moving to Atlanta. She is a very at tractive and talented voung woman.
