to say that not only everybody in
lola, but every body who comes to
lola during that time, ought to see
this exhibit without fail, for it will be
the neatest prettiest and most inter
esting thing shown here for a long
time. The display, of course, will
consist of work done by the young
ladies in the way of photographs,
portraits and paintings; and those
who have not already examined this
work will be Surprised to see how
well it is doneIWe have been around
a good deal, and we do not know of a
photograph gallery in the State, in a
town of this size which does such ex-
cellent and artistic work. 1t will be
a real treat to be permitted to visit
the large and handsome rooms and to
see the display of fine art work which
will be sbewn there, and those who
delight in "pretty things" should not
fail to avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity.

The arrangements for the Holiday
Festivities are progressing finely, and
the promise for a solid week of enjoy
ment was never better. The details
of the various programs cannot yet be
announced. but in general way it
may be said that on Monday Christ

by little girls, on Tuesday evening a
pantomime under the directionof Mrs.
Shaffer, on Wednesday evening a
minstrel show by the dramatic club,
on Thursday evening a musical and
literary program, on Friday evening
a grand ball, and on Saturday even
ing a military drill by young ladies.
Refreshments will be served each
evening and the programs will be
short enough so that social intercourse
may make up a large part of the
weeks attractions. Further details
next week.
When a surprise party is really a
surprise it is the best kind of party
there is. There is no possible doubt
that Mr.. and Mrs. J. F. Colborn were
completely surprised when about 80
of their friends swarmed in on them
Wednesday night and took possession
of the house. And that is the reason
that the party was one of the hap
piest that ever was. There was no
particular occasion for it, no birthday
or other anniversary; it was merely
an expression of regard and goodwill.
And so there was nothing formal
about it. Just a jolly, good "talky"
time. with lunch provided by the
visitors at the proper hour, and lit
tie "razZle-daZzler on the side and a
Virginia reel or two. The visitors
came early and stayed late, and the
only regret was that the evening did
not have more hours.

his new well Saturday night about 10
o'clock and awoke the echoes with the
