O-'FIOE OVER DOW LAW BANK, PORT VALLEY. : GEORGIA orzTMcAR/mTJR, DENTIST, PORT VALLEY, GEORGIA. Office over Slappey’s Drugstore. Written for publication last week. 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.

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.

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.
