Fhe Daughters’ Oyster Supper.
The Daughters of the Confeder
acy are pleased with the success
of the oyster supper served at the
court house Tuesday night. There
were only a fewiof our old citizens
out, as the weather was so severe
they were loath to leave their
warm fires and face the icy winds
outside. But quite a ciowd oi'
young people came, for they do
not mind the weather if the wind
cfpes blow.
The affair being a product of
the Daughters of the Confederacy,
it was expected that the piepara-
tian and the service would be in
perfect style, and that expecta
tion WhB fully verified.
About the court room tables
were tastefully arranged, and the
delicious bivalves were .served to
order by waitresses whose every
motion was in perfect harmony
with unassuming grace, and
whose pleasing servioe was sur
passed only by their more attrac
tive faces.
Beyond the gastronomic feature
of the occasion, there was
social pleasure in plenty, and
though the financial outcome was
not equal to the expectations of
its promoters, the supper was a
success.
The Daughters of the Codfeder-
aoy appreciate the patronage giv
en them, as every little made
helps to swell the Confederate
monument fund.
County Court Trials.
In county court last Monday a
ir o rVnili V ldBdemT wfi be ” h '*° ” mn who8 “ ho ™ j 9 “ e £ r
- ~ 5 ' Cyoloneta, on the G. S. & F.
Railroad, plead guilty to shooting
on a train, and he was fined $100
or 12 months on chain gang. The
fine was paid promptly. A trial
by jury had been demanded by
the defendent. Jurors were sum
moned, but when the case was
oalled, defendant plead guilty un
der agreement that another case
carrying concealed weapons would
be nol prosed. The jurors didn’t
serve, as there was no other crim
inal case for trial that day.
Tuesday morning Dr. J. B. B.
Brown, colored, was oonyicted in
county court for carrying con
cealed weapons, and sentenced to
pay a fine of $40, or to serve 12
months in the ohain gang. On
charge of larceny from the house
he was acquitted. There are two
other warrants against him, one
of these a felony, and another
practicing medicine without li-
oense.
Valentine Party at Hayneville.
Last Friday evening
of Mr. and Mrs. W.
aid we enjoyed a St.
party, which was one
pleasant occasions of this season.
The Valentines were, many and
beautiful, and we never saw a par
ty more pleasantly conducted.
Everybody behaved themselves
nicely, and worked hard for each
other’s pleasure. Those present
were: Misses Aunie aud Sadie
Kbight, Annie and Cleo Philips,
Messrs. Walter Mims, Fletcher
Watson, Larrie aud Willie Wat
son, “Captain Coot” Faulkner,
Wiley Powell, Mr. Jones, Jeff Da
vis and John Knight of Elko, Mr.
W. T. Powell of Grovania, Miss
Delia Etheridge of near Hawkins-
ville, Miss Lillian Harrison, Mat-
tie and Rosa Edmundson, Lillie
B. Skipper, Estelle and Ava Ha
ley, Messrs. Dozier H. Daniel, G.
C. HarriBon, 0. B. Edmundson,
J. G. Skipper, Mike Dauiel, Her
bert Mercer, Daniel Bass and Mr.
Akins of Hayneville.
After the crowd gathered ard a
few games of Twistification, steal
ing partners, Schnapp and croki-
nole, silence was then called. The
Valentine box opened, and Miss
Belle Skipper then took her stand
near by and read aloud the valen
tines and the verses thereon. The
parlor was most beautifully and
tastefully decorated with holly
and cedar, and on the box that
contained the Valentines was
the word, “St. Valentines” in
beautiful letters made of bloom
ing oedar.
We were all enjoying *it to the
utmost extent until the clock
brought forth the strike of twelve,
being the hour for us to make our
departure. Then the “good-byes”
were extended to all. But before
we close, let us extend our thanks
and appreciation to our kind host
and hostess, for we have never
met any that worked harder for
our pleasure. May they grant us
this pleasure again.

—While there are a few peach
trees in Perry and elsewhere in
the county on which the blooms
have opeued enough to be killed,
the great bulk of the buds have
swollen comparatively little. It
is the general opinion that the
freeze this week has killed only
those buds just upon the eve of
openiug, and that these are com
paratively few. Therefore it is
confidently hoped that now the
prospect is good for a fair peach
S , and that it is unlikely that
e will be a destructive freeze
later this season.
•—— - *V.O —
—Probably a majority of Hous
ton farmers are behind with tlreir
soil preparation, especially for
corn planting. The recent heavy
rains have retarded the plowing
that was already backward,though
the heavy wind Monday night and
Tuesday will hasten the drying
process considerably, and with a
few days now of open weather
much .will be done toward getting
ready to plaut corn. With the
weather right for two weeks ooru
planting will not be much delay
