The tisn-tank project, mentioned some
time ago ia a special from this place to
THE GAZETTE, is developing into some
thing definite. Twenty-Five of our most
prominent citizens have gone into
IL, and have received an offer
from DR.. A. S. Simmons OF
an elegant place for the tank, and Mr..
Steve G. Maddox, instigator OF the iusti-
tulion, vii go out tomorrow with an
engineer to have the grounds surveyed
and an estimate given, so as to know the
amount of assessment to be made on
members.
IN the last week several society events
have been noted in this city, and last
night one of the most enjoyable events
was witnessed by quite number
of our society people, 1t was a
sociable given by Mr.. and Mrs. Steve G.
Maddox, in honor to Mr.. John II. Lewis
and his charming bride. The even
ing was spent in most delight
full manner. All were made to
feel perfectly at home. Mr.. Maddox,
in that good, warm-hearted, whole
souled manner, becoming to all those true
old Georgians, left nothing undone in the
way of entertaining the party. Mrs.
Maddox, in her dignitied and pleasant
style, made every one present feel as If they
were in exactly the right place and per
fectly at home. At about 10 O'Clock the
assembly was treated to some elegant in
strumental music by Mrs. Lewis the
bride. She rendered two or three pieces
on the piano in a manner which showed
talent and culture, after which she played
an accompaniment to the violin, per-
formed on by Mr. +. C.. Gallagher This
music was simply immense. Miss Fannie
Blair rendered several very fine pieces on
the piano in very commendable manner. !
AT III O'Clock refreshments were served. |
This completed the enjoyment of all, and |
no doubt several wishes were made that ii |
wouldn't be long until another like feast
would be given. THE GAZETTE CORE !
spondent is not prepared to say how many
young gentlemen present wished that |
they might be the subjects TO which the |
next socia5le would be given. Cards and |
other games were INDUCED in by the
party though the more sentimental part
spent most of the evening in promenad |
ing the lawn by moonlight.

returning thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Mad |
