LOCAL NEWS,
Mrs. Simmons Entertains.
On July thirty-first, the Thurs
day Afternoon Ulub found a gra
cious and cordial hostess in Mrs.
J. W. Simnions, who, assisted by
her daughter, Miss Georgelle,
made the occasion most pleasant.
The guests were-entertained on
the veranda, which, with cut flow
ers,numerous rugs and pot plants,
was indeed inviting.
There was a full attendance of
club members and two charming
visitors, Mrs. Charlie Cater of
Macon and Mrs. Margaret Crouch
of Dawson.
In the little guessing contest,
Mrs. Charlier Cater made the
lucky guess, and when the souve
nirs were distributed, she was
awarded a larger “Derby” than
the other guests. These Derbys
serve as match receivers and an
the illustrated answer to the guess
ing game.
Mrs. Simmons is an accomp
lished musician and artist and on
this occasion we were served
dainty refreshments from some of
her hand painted ohina.
On August fourteenth at half
past four, Mrs. W. E. Swanson
will entertain.

attended
Sunday,
Dennard Dots.
By The Judge.
Dennard received its first bale
of new cotton last Saturday. This
is about three weeks earlier than
the first bale last season. It was
raised by General McKenzie, col.,
who cultivates a two-horse farm
near Dennard. Cotton is shed
ding badly, and can hardly make
the big yield it promised ten days
since. It is opening rapidly, and
in a week picking will be general.
If ginuers combine and agree
and bind themselves to gin for a
fixed and uniform price, won’
that be a trust on a small scale?
Almost everything smacks of
trust nowadays. The doctors com
bine and charge a fixed fee; that
is a trust. The preacher says I am
commissioned to preach Christ
and Him crucified, but if you
don’t pay me my price I won’
preach; that is a trust to those
who would hear preaching. If
you get into trouble the lawyer
steps in, and if he can’t gobble up
the whole thing he will let you
hang and be damned; and that’s
a trust. The farmers combine to
force the markets to pay ten cents
for their cotton; and that’s
“bust.”
