during the ceremony the soft low
strains of Mendelssohn’s wedding

Mrs. T. R. Jones, on the piano and W.
M. Jones, on the violin, were audible
from the sittingroom.
The parlor was decorated in white
a »d green and a profusion of ferns
and white roses formed a bower
where the bride and groom stood.
The staircase was a beautiful bankiof

Club Interests.
The Leschians are soon to resume
their very interesting and profitable
series of weekly meetings after their
summer suspension. Even this body
of young women Os such deeply in
tellectual {Vower and - tastes were not
proof against the frivolous influences
of the bright summer days, and as
the result, they have given them
selves with equal vigor to the gaye
ties of the summer season.
They are now preparing a series of
interesting studies, however, which
they will shortly begin.
Just such an organization is one
of the most pressing needs of the
younger ladies of this city, and an
other winter should not be allowed to
pass without its inauguration.
Why cannot some person, with in
terests thus inclined, interest the
young ladies in this movement which ■
would be of untold benefit to them, j
It is unworthy the intelligent
young ladies in this city that they
have never had an organization of
this kind for they would all certainly
grasp the opportunity of acquiring
such a vast store of information as
would thus be afforded.
It might be a literary club, as the
Lesche, or one week of each month
might be devoted to a different’.phase
of work. One evening could be de
voted to a literary study, while on
another the members could profita-

bly spend the evening in fancy work.
Another evening might be called a
social evening when the friends of
the club are entertained, and so on.
They would, no doubt, find it a
profitable as well as pleasant pastime
during the long winter weeks.

Circus Party and Dance.
Several of the young men of the
city gave a delightful circus party
Tuesday evening which was followed
by a dance at the Whitfield Club.
The circus band furnished the music
for the dance and the evening was
one of unusual enjoyment to those
I participating.

Miss Johnson as Hostess.
Miss Clare Johnson entertained
Misses Carrie Horne, Emily Graves,
Messrs. T. S. Shope and F. T. Rey
nolds at dinner at Hotel Dalton
Tuesday evening and the affair was
hugely enjoyed.

Autumn Plights.
The first spicy days of autumn are
rather unwelcome by femininity for,
though the air is buoyant and invig
orating and there is a universal
brightness of spirits, when her
thoughts turn to her wardrobe and
its utter inappropriateness, she real
izes that something must be done
and that quickly.
On the streets just now may be
seen costumes almost ridiculous.
There is one of dimity and lace, its
wearer seeming to confront the chill
ing breeze with a bold contradiction
of its presence, though secretly shiv
ering; in another a lace yoke is con
cealed by furs, its wearer preferring
comfort; while another costume is
perhaps a resurrected remnant of last
winter’s wardrobe.
But the openings will soon be on
and then —how- dear to their heart
are the scenes on the shop counters,
which will be sadly marred by the
disappearance of the numerous bun
dles she will surely tuck proudly
under her arms.
She will be actually lost for a time
in the almost endless yards of rib
bons, laces, silks, satins and other
ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN PIEDMONT SECTION.
fabrics until she finally emerges in
beauty utterly irresistible.
The matter of purchasing and fash
ioning and the subsequent wearing
of apparel is a pleasure which woman
would not relinquish for worlds.
Laying aside the satisfying of her
vanity, what topic affords such ab
sorbing interest and unlimited re
source for conversation at a female
gathering as does “drees”?
No doubt the reason man is so cyn
ical on this subject is that for a time
each season he becomes a forgotten
article whose only use is to settle
bills.
THE GREAT UNKISSED.
The statement attributed to David
B. Hill that he has never kissed a
woman raises a serious doubt wheth
er he is a thorough democrat.—Port
land Oregonian.
If it is true that David Bennett Hill
never took a drink, smoked a cigar
or kissed a woman, perhaps he should
be given the presidency as a consola
tion prize.—St. Paul Dispatch.
A New York paper says that Da
vid B. Hill reads all the books, all
the newspapers and all the maga
zines. No wonder he has never tak
en a drink, a chew, or kissed a wom
an.—Kansas City Journal.
David Bennett Hill refuses to deny
the story that he never kissed a girl
in all his life. And the star-eyed god
dess hereabouts continues to sulk
and look toward cherubic Tom John
son. —Louisville Commercial.
It is said that David Bennett Hill
has reached the age of 62 without
ever having taken a drink, smoked a
cigar or kissed a woman. That Chi
cago University professor will please
go to ttie foot of the class.—Los An
geles Herald.
The long silence of David B. Hill
since he made that astounding ad
mission that he never smoked, drank
or kissed a woman seems to indicate
that he has taken to the woods for
fear that some one will try to spoil
his record. —Oshkosh Northwestern.
It is now reported that David B.
Hill never tasted intoxicating liquor.
Next thing it will be said of him that
he never “hooked” watermelons or
drew caricatures of the schoolmaster.
The road to the presidency is indeed
a hard one.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

The people of Tunnel Hill are de
termined to have an up-to-date high
school. Pupils get board with good
families at $7 per month; this with
the low rate of tuition places a high
school education in reach of any am
bitious boy or girl. It is a good
school in which to prepare for col;
lege; special instruction for those
preparing to teach. A healthful
town with good moral and religious
influences. In fact, an ideal place
for such a school. Arrangements can
also be made for cooking clubs at a
cost little above home living. For
further information apply to Dr. W.
S. Jordan, Chairman of Board, or M.
A. Cooper, Principal.
