A Vamed Potato.
Crawfordville Democrat: While in
Oglethorpe last week we were shown
a potato that was certainly peculiar.
It grew in the ground like other po
tatoes and on a vine like others, but
the peculiarity about it was this: It
had inscribed upon one side of it the
letter “B” as peafect as if it had been
made by Land, but this grew this way
and the hand of nature did the work
And to make the potato a more won
dtrful thing, the lettei thereon was
the initial of the gentleman who rais
ed the potato.

A Ro\al Time
In response to inclination and in
vitation we attended the dance given
at tlie residence of G. B. Magruder’s
on Friday evening of last week.
The weather was bitter cold. Still it
did not deter the young people jwho
knew what was in store for them.
The anticipation overbalanced the
discomforts connected with a long
drive. At an early hour the spacious
parlors were filled to their utmost
capacity with the belles and beauxs
of Columbia and adjoining cc unties
and soon in clarion tones “partners
for a quadrille” announced that the
time for the maze dance to begin wtft
at hand and it was kept up until the
“wee sma’ hours.” The most inter
esting part of the programme was
rendered about 10:30 when the din
ing room brilliantly lighted was
thrown open and all invited to par
take of the bountiful spread.

Bananas
Augusta Chronicle: The Chronicle
is in receipt of a present of a bunch
of Augusta-grown bananas. The ba
nanas were grown in the yard in the
rear of Mr. Ottman Gauter’s saloon.
Just before the extreme cold weather
sets in the banana trees are stripped
of their leaves, cut down and packed
away warmly until the coming fall.
The liai.anas that grew to perfection
on these beautiful trees that adorn
the beer garden can be seen at Mr.
Ottman Ganter's opposite the Augus
ta Hotel.
tame t« the Supper-
Editors Sentinel :
About a year ago some of the la
dies of this section resolved to or
ganize a missionary society. To say
resolved simply means they did it
No doubt it was predicted by some
that the society would be of short
life, but not so. The ladies meant to
make it a success, and facts will Dear
up the statement that it is just what
they intended it should lie. They
sent more money to the last Associa
tion than lias been sent at any single
time for several years from Bethel
Church. Not only have they been
busy with head work, but finger
work also, they made up and sold
such articles as would bring in the
spare dimes around. Now, they pro
pose to cap the climax by having a
sale and an elegant supper on the
night of the 23rd of December, at the
residence ot Mr. Win. McDaniel.—
Everybody is cordially invited to
come and get a good supper for only
25 cents, buy a shirt, handkerchief,
quilt, or something to take home.—
Our word for it, the supper will be
par excellent, tor the ladies that have
it in hand know no such word as fail.
We would be extremely glad to see
the Sentinel corps present, including
the country cousins. Come, get a
good supper and wake up from your
Rip Van Winkle slumber and give us
more dots in the future.
