Last Sunday morning Mfss Mary
Lillie Houser died at the home of
her mother, 756 Cherry street, Ma
con, Ga.
The burial was at Macon Monday
afternoon.
She was 18 years of age, born in
Houston county, eldest daughter of
the late Mr. W. H. Houser, who
moved with his family from Hous
ton county to Macon about two
years prior to his death.
Her uncle, Mr. S P. Houser, of
Perry, attended the funeral, but her
grandfather, Judge John H. Houser,
was too sick to leave his bed.
Miss Lillie was a most lovable
Christian girl, and was a favorite
wherever known. She had many
friends at Perry and in other sec
tions of Houston county.
The bereaved mother, brothers,
sister and other relatives have the
sincere sympathy of their many
friends.
A pure spirit has been called to
the Eternal Home.

House Party at Eva.
Elko Etchings.
From the Macon Telegraph of
last Sunday we reproduce the fol
lowing account of a house party in
Houston:
“During the past week Mr. and
Mrs. A. J. Houser have been enter
taining a number of guests at a
house party at their beautiful coun
try home near Eva, Ga.
“The beautiful country home with
all its modern conveniences, its deep
porches and well-kept grounds, is
one of the finest country homes in
Georgia, an ideal place for enter
taining.
“At the redr of the house lies a
large pond, while on one side is a
grove of pine trees. The place is
completely surrounded by syca
mores.
“Mr. Houser is one of the most
substantial men in southwest Geor
gia, and his wife is a brilliant and
thoroughly charming woman.
“The guests were: Miss Kittie
Mae Williams of Fort Valley, Misses
Clifford and Julia Willis of Walden,
Misses Lula and Mamie Houser of
Perry, Miss Pearl Clark of Walden,
Miss Mattie Clark of Macon, Misses
Allie and Lizzie Houser, Mr. John
Allen, Mr. Joe Newsome, Mr. Ed
ward Clark, Mr. and Mrs. A. J.
Houser, Sr., and A. J. Houser, Jr.
By Uncle Ned.
Last Wednesday the following
were elected trustees of our
school: Dr. J. 0. Mann, chair
man, J. D. Marshall, secretary
and treasurer, J. F. Houser, W.
E. Means W. E. Till, W. H. Buff
and W. L. Means. Immediately
after their election they elected
Rev. J. E. Powell principal of the
school.. Nearly seven years ago
while Prof. Powell was principal
of the famous school at Arabi, he
was called to the pastorate of the
Baptist church here. ' Since then
he has been one of us in love and
interest. The whole town and
community are congratulating
themselves in securing his servi
ces. His experience in the Hous
ton High school at Arabi, and in
Monroe college at Forsyth, proves
him a most acceptable teacher.
We congratulate ourselves espe
cially as we could not have secur
ed his valuable services except for
the fact that his church relations
are down in this section. He
speaks of buying a farm near
town and becoming a life citizen
among us. The trustees are at
work along all lines to make an
excellent school and all indica
tions are favorable to the enter
Claud Items.
