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. One Who Was There. An Appreciated Letter. Chickamanga, Ga., Oct .15,1900. Eo. Messenger, LaFayette, Ga.

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.
