One of the most elegant as well
as delightful social events of the
season, was the “Millinery” Par-
ty given at the home of Hon. M.
F. Etheridge on Wednesday even
ing, complimentary to our teach
er, MissAlyce Barfield.
At 9:30 o’clock the guests be
gan to arrive and an hour later
the spacious hall and parlor which
had been beautifully decorated
for the occasion were filled with
happy and expectant faces, for
those who have once shared the
hospitality of this lovely home,
knew what a pleasant evening was
in store for them.
After indulging in various
games, short tete-a-tetes, etc.,
our hostess announced that the
next feature of the evening’s
amusements would be a “Hat”
trimming contest in which only
members of the “Sterner sex”
would be allowed to participate.
A hat containing a collection of
numbers was passed, each draw
ing therefrom!) a number cotres-
ponding to a number on some la
dy’s hat.
After all numbers had been
drawn, hats and trimmings were
brought forth, and at a signal
from our hostess, all began work.
Our many awkward movements
and various tastes, brought forth
much comment and laughter- on
the part of our “fair sisters,” but
when we had finished, they all de
clared they had never seen a pret
tier display of “Easter” bonnets;
while we all agreed as we placed
them upon their owners, we had
never seen fairer faces.
At 11:80 dainty refreshments
were served, after which we all re
tired to the parlor to hear the de
cision of the judges.
Mr. John McKinley succeeded
in displaying the most “excellent
taste” and was awarded first prize,
while Mr. Newt Akin carried off
the “booby.”
At twelve, the guests reluctant
ly departed, all declaring that
they had spent a most delightful
evening. Guest.

After four weeks’ notioe, pursuant to

of which a true and correct copy is en
joined, will be presented to the Hon. W.

court;
To the Hon. W. H. Felton, Jr,, Judge
of the Superior Court of Houstoa Couh-
ty, Ga:
The petition of D. 0. Turrentine shows
1st. That he is guardian of Julia M.and
J. O. Turrentine, heretofore duly ap
pointed as such guardian in said county.
2nd. That he desires to sell for reinvest
ment, at private sale, the' following prop
erty, the same being a part of the estate
of his wards, to-wit: Lot of laud No. 91,
containing 202*4 acres, more or less, in
the 13th district of said county, said
land bounded on the north by.land of Z.
B. Means, east by land of J. H. Wimber
ly, west by land of Wm. Means, south
by public road from Elko to Hawkins-
ville, Ga. 3rd. Said land pays but little
income, owing to the fact that it is very
poor and broken, the buildings are al
most entirely useless on account cf de
cay, that it would cost more to make
necessary repairs than said premises
would rent for, and that the rents of
said land were only 850 annually for the
past 6 or six years; that he can get SP"''
■cash for said laud. March. 5tb, 1902.

BY BOSE.
The heavy rains have delayed
planting some, though the beau
tiful spring days of the past weeks
gave the farmers some encourage
ment and considerable land is in
readiness.
Miss Lizzie Heard,who has been
sick, we are glad to note is much
better.
Mrs. J. D. Head and two chil
dren of Macon were the guests of
Mrs. J. T. Lisenby from Thursday
till Saturday.
Little Virgil Heard, who has
been quite ill with pneumonia for
several weeks, is now fully recov
ered .
The pupils of Howard school,
who are making progress very
flattering to teacher and pupils,
were to have entertained their
friends with recitations, readings
and songs for a short time Friday
afternoon, but on account of the
inclement weather the visitors
were very few, but we hope to see
them next Friday afternoon.
Messrs. Joe Heard and Wade
Howard,who went partridge hunt
ing last Saturday, report these
birds more plentiful than ever, as
that ended the hunting season.
Miss Annie Newell of LaVilla
visited Misses Mary and Julia
Howard this week.
Believing that the public would
like to hear again from the Ben
Hill school, we respectfully ask
the Editor to grant us a short
space in his valuable columns.
We learn from the Commission
er that this school has the largest
enrollment in the county with the
exception of Perry and Fort Val
ley. Seventy pupils have entered
and, though we are somewhat
crowded, everything is congenial
and things are working smooth
ly-
The children are very. much in
terested in preparing the program
for the Washington and the Jef
ferson societies. They have ar
ranged a debate for Friday after
noon, March 21. The subject for
the occasion is—Resolved th
Washington was a greater man
than Jefferson.—Each society is
to uphold the man in whose hon
or it was named.
We have already made the
statement that we would not be
defeated in obtaining a library
and we are glad to know that the
public is learning us out in our
statement. Several encouraging
letters have been received. Mr.
Edwards of Perry and Mr, Terrell
of Atlanta have sent in checks and
several others' have promised
books, for which we are grateful.
Hoping to foBter a greater love
for country, we have placed upon
our school-building a large flag of
the United States.
You may notice that we have
told only the good in connection
with the school, but we have
agreed to keep locked within our
box of secrets all the bad, and we
don’t propose that you shall
know anything about them.
Editor for the school.
