The members of the society were out in full force, bringing their missionary barrels with of ferings therein. The guests ,of which there were “big, little, old and young,” were asked to “bring as many pennies as you are years old.” The object of these offerings was to raise the Juvenile “Spe cial,” which goes toward the sala ry of Miss Mary Culler White, their missionary in China. Misses Lena Hill and Augusta Ezell were assisted in receiving by Misses Fannie Kate Bateman ami Casby Aultman. 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.” A short program was first ren dered as follows :-Howard Craw ford Pres, of the society presid ing.

The following Tuesday night a Two-Step’ was given at the home of Mr, F. T. Houser. There was nothing to mar the pleasure of the event, only our teacher being ab sent on account of illness, we are glad to say, howevev, she is again performing her duty as teacher.

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.
