their missionary in China.
Misses Lena Hill and Augusta
Ezell were assisted in receiving
by Misses Fannie Kate Bateman

On entering the reception hall
one first saw the treasurer, Miss
Nellie Peavy, with smiling face
standing behind a table whereon
was seen the “contribution box.”
In clear view on the wall behind
her in silver letters was “Freely
Give.”

stealer and stolen were invited
iuto the dining room. The sight
was enough to remind one of
Mount Olymphus and the gods
and the goddesses of old, for there

throughout the house, were jon

pome of our most gallant young
men.

One of the most enjoyable social
events connected with the history
of Claud was enjoyed at Lake
View Academy Saturday,, March
l8t,when and where about 40 pat
rons and pupils with their teachers
assembled for the purpose of par- j
ticipating in a fish fry. At about,
12:80 the good ladies announced 1
dinner ready, and we know no one
ever ate better fried fish, which
was abundant. After dinner all,
old and young,enjoyed themselves
at games of various kinds, the
most interesting being a game of
base ball, the champion players
being Messrs. Jas. Smith, R. W.
Hartley and R. R. Smith. The
weather was the only thing to mar
the pleasure of the occasion and
that only by preventing the at
tendance of more patrons and pu
pils. We anticipate having an
other in the near future, at which
we hope to see all.
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Tabor are
visiting relatives ueatBolingbroke
Miss Annie Newell of LaVilla is
visiting hor brother, Mr. J. W.
Newell.
Mr. R. W. Hartley and son,
Seabie, spent Sunday near Heard.
Mr. Kemp Dorsett is the cham
pion partridge shot of this sec
tion, and if school continues un
til the 15th of March we think
there will be but few left in the
woods near and around the school
house.
Mr. R. R. Howard has the most
unique specimen of chicken we
ever saw, it being a kind of quad
ruped having four well developed
legs.
The great body of timber near
Lake View was sold a few days
ago by Mr. Culpepper to Messrs.
Pearson and Avera, two of the
most successful saw mill men in
Georgia.
Mr. R. R. Smith owns aud op
erates the most modern and typi
cal hotel in the state. Take a.
vitw of it just west of his resi
dence and inquire of him for rates.
It embraces all modern conven
iences.
