MRS. GEORGE’S PLACE.
It was certainly a happy crowd
that started out from Perry on the
7 th of August, and by the time they
arrived at Macon they had reached
the number of 31, all bound for the
Isle of Palms, to take a dip into the
briny deep. To introduce you to
our party I will say there were four
Houser families represented: Mr.
Andrew Houser, wife, two daught
ers, Misses AUie and Lizzie, and A.
J. Houser, Jr., of Eva; Mr. Fred M.
Houser, wife and two daughters,
Misses Bessie and Mamie Houser, of
Perry; Mr. Jim Honser and wife of
Grovania; Mr. Walter Houser and
wife of Macon; Mr, Andrew Smoak,
wife and three daughters, Misses
Pauline, lone and Agnes Smoak, of
Perry; Mr. Jerre Davis and wife of
Dennard; Mr. Tom Willingham of
Dunbar; Mrs. Laura Hose and Mrs.
Jerome Thompsons, Perry; Messrs.
W. D. and E. F. Tharp, near Perry;
Mr. John Allen, near Fort Valley;
Mr. Ed. Clark, Augusta; Misses
Maggie Day, Martha Killen, Lula
and Kate Hurst, Perry. ,
Leaving Macon at 10 that night,
by way of Georgia railroad, the par
ty had a jolly time; fun reigned su
preme, the rule being that everyone
who went to sleep should have their
faces washed; so music, singing,
cake walking, jokes and laughter
controlled instead of sleep. There
were elegant lunches provided by
the ladies that furnished supper and
breakfast.
On reaching Charleston about 8
o’clock Friday morning, the street
cars convoyed us rapidly to the
boat. Here we found a familiar
name in the Commodore Perry,
which gave us rest and refreshment
on her inviting deok, while her
graceful movements over the danc
ing waves, and the sweet musio that
regaled our ears, made us forget the
weariness of a night’s travel. How
pleasant it would have been to re
main on that deck all day ; but there
is no rest for weary travelers, and
ere we realized it, we were dumped
off again into a street car at Mount
Pleasant, which, strange as it may
appear, could travel land and sea
with equal rapidity, and before we
knew it seven miles had been made
and we got off, not at the Isle of
Palms, for we had found a plaoe far
more attractive in the Atlantic
Beach Hotel, which opened wide its
(not arms) cool porches, neat, clean
rooms and well-filled tables for our
entertainment. Right here let me
say that if any one wants a cool
place this hot weather, let him go
to the Atlantic Beaoh Hotel, Sulli
van’s Island, right away. Why, that
grand old ocean breeze gets into ev
ery crack and corner of that hotel
and flies and mosquitoes can’t stay
there, and Proprietor Green and
Clerk Myers will surely treat you
well. We could hardly get away to
go to the Isle ofJPalms, although we
could see the big Ferris wheel, and
heard there were lots of attractions
there. Qf course we had curiosity
enough to carry us over to see what
was there, but we did not tarry
long, as we thought our ocean quite
as good as their's and we were so
comfortable we preferred to remain
where we were. Why, it was so
close to the ocean that one of the
party said he could just roll out of
his bed into the water.
What shall I say now of the grand
old ocean, the finest piece of God’s
handiwork that this world produces?
It affected us in various ways; some
shouted and laughed, one sung
hymns, another repeated Psalms, a
-third quoted Byron and others
walked about gathering shells, while
some could not wait for the first
meal, but plunged into its briny
depths to frolic with its waves and
snowy white caps.
Would that Father Time could
have stayed his hand and lengthen
ed out the days that we spent there;
we were so happy together, and had
so much freedom to enjoy ourselves
with impromptu entertainments and
fun of every kind, and by the way,
the music furnished by the hotel is
grand every night.
The Sabbath was spent for the
most part quietly in conversation,
reading, singing, resting, for we re
membered that God was there and
His day must be observed.
Like all good things in this life, it
came to an end and we must start
home, and after the car and boat
liffiB landed ns safe in Charleston,
ii«PH a new treat awaited us, for
some one had come ahead and char-
CA3T0RIA For Infantsand Children;
tered a boat for us. So presently we
found ourselves on board the good
ship. Planter, in charge of Captain
Bennett, who gave us a delightful
ride, pointing out to us the various
sorts and other historic places
around the Charleston harbor. He
then put out to sea and carried us
three miles beyond the bar, and
stayed out until he saw that old
Ocean’s heaving boBom had render
ed his crowd quite dizzy and top-
heavy. This part was fully appre
ciated by all, but especially Mr.
Jerre Davis. Back again to the city,
and by car carried to the Argyle,
one of the grandest hotels in the
south. Here we were feasted roy
ally, and as the whole party was
seated at one long table, we felt like
we were having a regular Houser
reunion, with our best friends to
dine with us.
At 6 o’clock we started away on a
comfortable car bound for Atlanta.
Unfortunately we were dropped at
Camak and the Maoon car forgot to
come for us, so wo rested quietly
from twelve tntil live, and special
mention should be made o.f the five
happy hours spent at this most at
tractive waiting plaoe. While we
are making special mention we must
not forget the valise that would not
go, and the pocketbook, silver cup
and palmetto fan that insisted on
getting lost.
Something must be said about the
valuable services of the four young
men, who vied with each other in
showing attention oo the young la
dies, but as the girls were ten in
number, what they could not do
was amply supplied by Mr. Tom
Willingham, who, with the old-time
gallantry of the South Carolina ar
istocrat, was helping both young
and old all the time.
Would that we could tell all the
good things. Let those who would
know more inquire about the great
turtle that weighed 600 pounds, and
ask the gentlemen why they found
the ladies at Isle of Palms one
morning, and be sure'to ask Miss
Lula Hurst about the very queer an
imal found under the bed.
All things have an end, so must
this, but not before this very con
genial party organized themselves
into an outing club, with proper of
ficers, and decided they would trav
el together every summer.
0! I forgot I had left them at
Camak, which is a charming place
to visit at night, but we wouldn’t
care to live there. The train finally
did remember us and landed us in
Macon at 10 o’clock, after a nice
ride seventeen hours long.
We made rapid steps to Isaac’s
Cafe, where his choice viands sus
tained our drooping spirits, and we
soon scattered in search of “Home,
Sweet Home.” A Participant.
A Worthy Colored Man Dead.
A Golden Wedding In Elko.
So rarely does wedded . life ex
tend to the fiftieth mile post that
a golden wedding is of great in
terest. A most enjoyable occa
sion was that whioh brought to
gether a host of relatives, neigh
bors and friends to the hospitable
home of Mr. and Mrs. William
Means, Saturday, Aug. 15th.
These dear good people whose
faces are now turning towards
life’s sun setting, have lived lives
worthy of closest imitation. Pure
and guileless and deeply pious,
they have been a benediction in
the home and community.
A number of appropriate gifts
spoke eloquently of the high es
teem in whioh they were held.
And the dinner! we will not at
tempt to'^desoribe the many good
things to eat, but will simplp say
it was indeed abundant aiid appe
tizing.
When at last the guests bade
adieu to the silver-haired bride
and groom, it was with the wish
that many more happy and useful
years would be added to their
lives. A Guest.

worthy and reliable colored men
in Houston county died last
Thursday night at his home about
five miles west of Porry.
He was more than 60 years of
age, formerly k slave of Mr. Hen
ry Toomer of this county.
The farm op which he lived had j
been purchased and paid for by j
himself and family, and was part j
of the plantation that belonged
to his former master.
Walter was a sensible man, an
energetic and successful farmer,
true to his obligations, courteous
and friendly to all.
He was highly esteemed by a
large number of white men, who
were truly his friends.
With his own race he was ever
a counselor in behalf of morality,
temperance, integrity and indus
try.
A memorial written by a com
mittee of the church to which
he belonged will appear next week.
