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.

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.” Mr. J. M. Heard is putting in a telephone line from his home to Bonaire, a distance of about seven miles. Miss Ruth Toole of Macon is visiting her grondmother, Mrs. A E. Howard. Mr. R.
