Old Maid‘s Heart Party. CONTRIBUTED. Decidedly one of the most unique entertainments of the season was the Old Maid’s Heart Party, at the hospitable residence of Judge and Mrs. G. W. Gleaton, Friday night the 18tli inst. A dozen or more of Conyers, most cultured young ladies gave this elegant and elaborate re ceptiou complimentary to an equal number of young gentle men. The dainty invitations were each accompanied by a tiny heart, bearing the name of a young lady, and each recipient was left to wonder what the de¬ velopment would be. A philosopher has said, “Al. things come to him who waits ” The hour named in the iuvi tation found all promptly as sembled in eager anticipation of the pleasure awaiting them. Conversation interspersed with music caused the moments to fly as if by magic uutil ten o’clock; then Miss Minnie Tur¬ ner told them the object of the Old Maid’s Heart Party. It bad a two fold purpose, one was to soften the hearts of those seven rash youngsters, who had vowed they would enter into no matrimonial alliance this year. The other to return the compliment conferred by the young gentlemen at a banquet recently given at the hotel. She stated, that the old maids really had a heart ana though it might be dead, it could be resurrected, which the young men were delighted to hear, and greeted her remarks with rapturous applause. After which, she and Miss Nellie Gai ley passed around baskets con¬ taining half hearts, the right hand side of the heart being ? 7 one wlren completed trad an ap propriate motto .and the cou pie whose hearts matched were partners to supper, The tables were tastily beautifully decorated and groan¬ ing under the weight of luxur¬ ies furnished by the young la¬ dies. From the turkey and chicken salad to delicious de¬ sert and coifed, each course was dainty and temptingly pre¬ pared and served. t 4 We may. live without friends vve may live without books. But civilized man, cannot live without cooks.” After the’feast a feature of the evening was a contest in iroherv between the young gentlemen-. Tim young ladies had prepared a how and arrow Handsomely • -ornamented with red ribbons. A white clbtfi.decorated with iriiason hearts, Was attached to diApprlierrc^ih lhe hall. Each ie;vrt , except 'Otie; bearing the a une of a you*g lady on its re¬ verse side. The one without a name was lobbed the old maid's heart. Phis was captured hy C’ol. our young Scion of the Law. John S. Gleaton, y Each of the other gentlemen pierced a heart with the name oi a charmer attached, which we would gladly mention wet* it not for the fact that the Ordiuavy and ministers would probably prefer announcing at no late day. Had the couples accept ed the Ordinary’s generous of¬ fer that night they could have procured marriage license with¬ out money-arid without price. Since they delayed they must pay the usual fee. A happy incident not on the programe was the making up of a small purse for a sick lady by the gentlemen, suggested by a prominent merchant in the party and gladly assented to by all, The following ladies and gen¬ tlemen were present; Misses Richards, Turner, Reagan.

This i-- another argument, and a strong one, in favor of a law which will equalize taxes.
