V t ry Much Enjoyed.
Mr. ami Mrs. Frank Crutchfield
entertained at their beautiful
home with a Tackey party last
Wednesday night in honor of Mr.
D- C. Giles, who left last Thurs
day for Middlesborough, Ky., to
the regret of his many friends in
and around Flintetone. The par
lor, drawing-room and dining
room were thrown t into one large
room , which was a perfect pict
ure, banked in roses and golden
rod. ,
The evening was spent in games
and music until a late hour, when
delightful refreshments were
served, after which the merrv
crowd left with great praise for
Mr. and Mrs. Crutchfield. We
think special mention should be
made of the charming hostess.
Some of tho costumes the young
ladies wore were very antique.
Miss Zelpha Morse looked very
becoming in a quaint old silk
dress which was her grandmoth
er’s when she was a gill.
Mrs. Crutchfield looked very
fetching m her costume, which
was old in styie.
Another dress worn by a young
lady attired in white whose name
we learned later was “Greene,”
looked very swell.
Lit le Harry Ellison was dressed
as Uncle Sam.
Several young people were out
from the city.

A Please a Surprise,
After the close of Rev. VV. T.
Ilea’s sermon Sunday, he Was
very much surprised by Mr. T. A.
Jackson < tiering the following:
Whereas Brother Rea has been
among us for several years and
in appreciation of his upright
walk and unsefuluess in onr com
munity we as a people and not as
a church will present him a salt
of clothes as a birthday present.
A subscription was at once tak
en up and fifteen dollars was
raised.
Nothing could have given more
pleasure to the old vttaran than
such consideration.

The New Road Law.
The present rond law has been
in operation for quite a time, and
while the tffects of it could be
seen in more and bt per bridges,
if now shows its beneficial effects
on the roadbed.
In traveling through the county
better ditches and better rounded
np roadbeds can be seen.
As this season has been very
dry and the ground in such a con
dition as to make road work ul
most impossible, it might be well
for overseers and hands to bea.
iu miud that after plowing and
scraping this late in the year,
such parts of roads where it is
needed should be graveled at the
same time. If this is not done
the dirt put in the road will not
settle this late in the year, and
such parts will be almost impass
able in wet winter weather.
The Messenger is by rights
aud ought to be the medium
through which ideas of public in
terest may be exchanged. How
ever, as nobody says anything on
the subject your correspondent
thought best to do it.
The law, when rightly handled,
will not only command a majority
of voters in its favor, but in time
will enlist those that are and have
been opposed to it also.
It might be that if the commis
sioners of each precinot made a
chairman out of their number,
and these chairmen meet once a
vear this would enable them to
work by one system, as system is
mostly wauting. They could also
be made bonded offioers aud re
ceive aud distribute the tax.
Observer.
