We note with regret that this is

We wish to express our appreci

ripe wisdom of hislong.life of use
fulness ; his foresight and wise
management is. manifest in the
lives of hia preachers and their

knows that. We pray him God
speed. We pledge him our best
support in working out his plans

County Reunion Uncertain.
. As.our readers know,at a receiit
meeting of Confederate veterans
at the court house in Perry, it was
resolved to hold a reunion of
Houston county veterans on the
25th of July.
A committee oh arrangements,
and a county committee consist
ing of one veteran in each district
were appointed. These commit
tees were requested to meet at
Perry last Saturday, report prog
ress and adopt specific plans for
tho reunion. The opinion pre
vailed that a successful reunion
was impossible unless the vete
rans throughout the county want
it, and there is no way to find
out their desires, except by an ex
pression through the committee.
Very few attended the meeting
latt Saturday, and it is not certain
that there will be a county reun
ion.
Read what the secretary is in
structed to say:
The district committee for the
proposed county Veterans’ reun
ion failed to attend the called
meeting lafct Saturday, Reports
were made by only three mem
bers, J. R. Miller, J. S. Bryan,
and W. E. Norris.
Mr. J. D. Martin, chairman of
the committee on general arrange
ments, will write each district
committeeman and ask them to
report at Perry next Saturday,
July 5th.
Unless favorable reports are
made from these committeemen
on that day, it will be impracti
cable to try to have a reunion on
the 25th of July.
The veterans must decide.

Innocence Entertained and Enter
taining.
No social function ever more
completely combined beauty and
pleasure than did the Law r n party
at the home.of Capt. and Mrs. C.
E. Gilbert last Friday afternoon,
given by Miss Corinne Baldwin
complimentary to Misses Kathe
rine and Louise Holtzclaw.
The guests of honor and their
companions are the very young
est of the Perry belles and beaux,
and none of those older can vie
with them in 'the best and pretti
est elements of social distinction.
None-of them are more than six
years of age.
With their “pretty faces bright
with innocence and joy, with be
coming apparel and happy laugh
ter, in the games they so much en-
; oyed, they made a picuire more
beautiful and delightful than
could bq made by any other com
bination of nature or art.
After the games had been en
joyed as happy, children only can,
dainty refreshments were served
by the happy hostess.
From 5:80 to 7 p. m. every mo
ment was filled with pleasure that
was as great to those who witness
ed as to the litcle guosts who par
ticipated.
Following are the names of the
guests who ornamented the occa
sion,
