The cold spell of last week left
: number of bursted water pipes in
its wake. Considerable damage was
done household effects in some of
the homes in the city.
Quantities of oranges and grape
fruit are being sold in this city. This
fruit has ceased to be .the luxury it
was before the days of the automo
bile.
The stores are crowded with*
Christmas shoppers, who are trying
to end their buying.
Parking space was at a premium
in the business section of the city
Saturday.
The interior of the store building
recently purchased by Miss Lucille
Adams is being remodeled, and made
ready for the occupancy of the
Adams Electric company.
The older citizens are relating
that the recent cold spell was the
longest and most severe they had
ever witnessed during the month of
December.
It was announced at the Metho
dist church Sunday that the recent

find cracious response to their in

Gifts ranging from the most nrac-
ti'-al to those which are artistic and
rare are to be found in Milledge-
ville stores. Lingerie, bags of vari
ous tvnes. toiletries, toys of every
description, these and manv other
articles are on display, and so at
tractive are the prices that one has
nc difficulty in selecting something
reallv nice without too much strain
on the purse.
There is no reason for the peo
ple of Milledgeville and this terri
tory to go shopping elsewhere. The
merchants of the city, anticipating
a splendid trade, have stocked such
a variety of articles appropriate for
gifts that no matter how fastidious
the taste, wants may be easily
gratified.
By reading advertisements in this
issue of The Union-Recorder a so
lution to the gift problem may be
had. and a visit Lo the leading
stores will be convincing proof that
all goods are “sold as advertised.”

Those of our people, who have
been absent from the city the past
several months, are returning home
to spend the Christmas holidays.
Those who had country eggs have
been bringing quantities of them to
market, and selling them for 35 and
40 cents per dozen.
The residence of Mr. C. O. Her-
rendine. located on the Avenue be
tween this city and the State Hos
pital. caught fire on the roof Sat
urday afternoon about 2:30 o’clock.
The fire alarm was sounded, and
the firemen quickly responded. The
blaze was extinguished with water
from the booster tank, which is
carried on the engine. Very little
damage was done the house.
Happy indeed v.as the Christmas
party staged by the Milledgeville
Garden Club recently, in old befo
de war” Mansion, now the home
Dr. and Mrs. Guv H. Wells of the
Georgia State College for Women.
A huge Christman wreath hung on
thr hi" :'-nt dc-——was made of
c^d-r. bearthtvne berries, red-wax
ed china berries, pine and pine
ry nor. oak leaves and sporting a big
r ”d rntin bow. was made by Mrs.
J. L. Beeson.
The ."nests—which included about
forty Macon people, officers of the
Garden clubs of that city—were
greeted at the door by Mrs. George
Echols and Mrs. Hoy Taylor, while
Miss Clara Morris Mrs. E. A. Tigner
and Miss Nora Cone—all hostesses
for this occasion—took charge of
them, conducting them through the
big rooms to see the many Christ
mas decorations. Returning to the
entrance hall, the visitors were
shown into the Library where thr
receiving line stood, headed by Mrs.
E. R. Hines, president of the Club.
Mrs. Guy Wells, "Lady of the Man
sion,” Miss Ethel Adams, dean of
Women of G. S. C. W.. Mrs. R. W.
Hatcher. Mrs. E. T Cornelius.—the
last four also being official hostesses
—while the line was completed by
the presence of the other three
officers. Mrs. F. E. Bone. Mrs. E.
H. Scott and Mrs. M. H. Bland.
After all guests had greeted each
other and made the tour of Christ
mas derorations. they were seated in
the South Parlor where a short pro
cram was given. During the hour of
arrival the Georgia Cherokees. an
orchestra made up of twelve G. S. C.
W. girls, attirrd in their attractive
orchestra uniform o? black and white
—nlayed ponular music. The program
consisted of two short numbers—
the first a talk made by Mrs. J. L.
Beeson on the significance of Christ
mas greens and telling how and
why they had been selected. The
second was an article written by
Julia Petcrkin. on "Christmas on
♦he Old Plantation"—this being read
by Mrs. D. W. Branncn. After this
Mrs. Bland— the vice-presidenL
asked that the presidents of each of
the Macon Garden Clubs rise and
iiitrod"C? the members of that club
present so that all might be greet
ed by the Milledgeville Club mem
bers.
The guests were then invited into
the octaganal room behind the ro
tunda. where the Georgia Cherokees
were already waiting to play and
’cad them in the Christmas carols.
Several of these carols were sung by
the guests ana then refreshments
were served in the Rotunda by the
hostesses assisted by four young
ladies in old-lime costume—theise
girls being daughters of some gar
den chib member, and were. Lois
Ha* b<"-. Virginia Cooper, Elizabeth
' ford and Louisa Echols.
A beautiful Christmas table entire
ty white with silver candelabra,
braring white tapers, and a lovely
err vase filled with white roses
,1 narcissus (the last grown by
Mrs. Wells in the Old Masion Gar
den) had been laid. Tea and coffee
poured by Mrs. Hatcher and
Adams, and a plate bearing
turkey mousse, cranberry jelly,
olives, beaten biscuit and fruit cake
served to each guest and white
mints were passed. The exquisite
cloth on the table was of fillet and
it work.
The conclusion of the entertain
ment came when the four girls
Titered bearing waiters filled with
individual candles ready to light
v ith Christmas Cheer. These little
candle-holders were made of white
drops, a life-saver for the
handle, and into the top stuck a
red or green candle. One girl
carried a large lighted candle and
rom this all lighted the small ones,
nd standing around in a huge clr-
le—all joined in singing "Silent
Night—" led by the orchestra.
"Husbands" of some of the hos
tesses dropped in for "tea” and
found that Mr. R. Habenicht Cas-
son, president of the Bibb County
Flower Club had been brave enough
to be present (accompanied by bis!
charming mother) so here and there I
y ai might find two or three men j
gathered together discussing horti- j
culture over their tea-cups.
Had such a thing been possible the i
heads of the members of the Mil-
lodgoville Garden Club might have
been turned by the very flattering
remarks made by the Macon visi
ters on the number and attractive
ness of the Christmas decorations
exhibited. From the huge wreath
on the front door to an enormoud
white urn (on a talk white pedestal)
filled with mistletoe and ivy—all
nartially silvered, the idea had been
to try to see how many beautiful
things might be gathered together
for the decoration of our homes ,on
•his sacred occasion. Holly was bar
red, as all gnrden clubs are stress
ing its preservation. There were a
oair of black vases holding thorn
branches, on each thorn a red cran
berry there was a table arrange
ment of a snow scene, the center
a mirror-lake on which stood tiny
white rein-deer. Snow (cotton
sprinkled with mica) was banked
about the lake which was enclosed
by a tiny fence (made of straws—
from the soda fount—stuck in marsh
mallows) and wee snow-laden trees
were on the outside. Another table
drew attention—which included the
white deer, new and white candles.
Special favorable comment was
made about the two arrangements
in the entrance hall. On a table
there was a mirror on which stood
two large silver cranes, and about
this was arranged a fan shape clus
ter of green with red berries. On a
pier table there was an arrangement
of cedar, red berries and pine cones,
behind which seven red graduated
candles bumeu.
It is impossible to describe nl!— j
lack 'of space forbids.
