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.

GEORGIA. —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 ed. v —— - O © r —* -• • —•The wind last Monday night was the heaviest known at Perry in several years, and the quickest change from va“ni to cold. At 2 o’clock Monday afternoon the thermometer registered about 70 degrees, before 7 o’clock it was below 60, and Tuesday morniug 28 was registered. The freeze was general, though the temperature has been six degrees lower this : this Methodist' district” 1 winter. No material damage by was in Perrv a few hours last! tho wind has be « n reported.
