A true extract from the min
utes of Houston Superior Court
at October term, 1902.
M. A. Edwards, C. S. C.
Mrs. E^dgar Braselton most
beautifully entertained the Thurs
day Afternoon club on Thursday
Oct. 2nd.S Everything.was lovely,
a spirit of exquisite neatness per
vading everything. ' Misses Lula
Jtiouser and Clara Dasher, arrayed
in full evening dress,assisted Mrs.
Braselton in receiving.
The entertainment differed from
most of them in the fun being a
spelling bee.” We were all given
opportunity to distinguish our
selves in that line. Mrs. Moore,
and Mrs. Milton Cooper chose
sides, while Miss Houser acted as
school mistress. Mrs. Cooper’s
side won. No prizes-were given,
as it was only for amusement. Ail
were then invited into the dining
room, where things were indeed
lovely, roses, ferns [and soft
crimson lights making us feel that
fairy land was not far away.
A superb salad course, together
with fruit nectar and hot coffee
for a finish,gave all a fitting feast
for so beautiful a sitting. Sever
al visitors were present, among
them we were glad to welcome
Mrs. A. 0. Riley now of Fort Val
ley, and Miss Mary Simmons.'
As the evening shadows fell we
bade our kind hostess adieu, to
have our next meeting with Mrs.
C. E. Gilbert next Tuesday after
noon. 0. E.

Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Parker, and
the marriage was at their home

and has been engased successfully
in the practice of medicine since.

the beloved pastor of the Baptist
church. He was a man of strong
determination, sturdy honesty
and exalted Christian character.
His life has been a blessing to the
community and his death causes
general and genuine sorrow.
“His remains were interred in
Oak Lawn cemetary at 4 o’clock

bding held at the Baptist ohuroh,
