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. VOL VI NO 18 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. — ■ --» • s ■■ 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.
