JULY %, 1891.
FAsnIoNABLE Misses
Vaussie Beale, Maggie Neale, and
Alice NeaIe, gave fashionable party
on last Tuesday evening, at the
residence of Col. C. B. waggener, at
the foot of Main street. The party
was given in honor of Miss Mamie
Peoples, of Lewisburg, who has been
a guest of the family of E. E. Neale,
of Ben LomOnd. About twenty
couple were invited and most all
accepted, and were present to take
part in the rare pleasure of dancing
upon Summer evening, so cool
and pleasant that one was totally
oblivious of its being the usual hot
and sultry month of July. a gayer
assembly of society than can be
found in our town does not exist
and pleasanter time than was had
at this party was never reported.
The ladies were exquisitcly costum-
ed, and looked charming, while the
face of each gentleman was radiant
with brightness and splendor.
Refreshments were served at II
o'clock and all took a brief rest for
a few minutes, but soon the sweet
strains of the orchestra rcverbera-
ting through the halls set each
tiny foot in motion and each soul
was again lost in the intricacies of
the May dances. The music was
furnished by our city band and was
creditable in the extreme.
To BE ORGANIzED.-A new home
Building and Loan Association, is
soon to be organized in this
place. The shares of stock will be
one hundred dollars each, in weekly
dues of % cents share. There
will, however, be one new feature,
which experience has led to believe
will be an improvement, and that is
the permanent" plan, or provision
for issueing "new series ofstock from
time to time as the demand there
for may Justify.
Building Associations besides
proving fair investments, are good
savings institutions, and in addition
quite beneficial in enabling many
persons to acquire their own homes
who could not otherwise do so.
And the more extensive the mem
bership, the more general the bene-
fits.
This, like the present one, is n
home enterprise which will keep
the money in our own community,
and we urge our people to take stock.
The directors will be elected by the
stockholders themselves, who thus
have it in their own power to select
entirely safe and prudent hands in
to which to commit its management
