perity for each and all.
Mesdames Huckins and bright
eyes" Miss Cora, have instituted
series of entertainments for the
winter months, which will surely
proove delectable to them. Last
Wednesday the prelude was given
in their parlors at the Huckins
House, when at three, gathered a
number of married ladies with their
fancy work to spend the time in
groups of no ill import, giving help
full hints to the kindred spirits
gathered as to this or that. These
"small and earlies" has the crafty
ing result of bringing in closer ties
of friendship many who heretofore
have been content with the ac-
quaintance brought about by the
demands of socrity. Those who
enjoyed the afternoon we're Mes.
danes Harry Taylor, Nettie Klein,
Mallory, James Lightfoot and Ella

The wedding of DR.. Collom and
Miss Gene Reed was solemnized at
the home of the brides parents, DR..
and Mrs. R. A. Reed, Wednesday
at high noon in the presence of
relatives and a few intimate friends,
Rev. ]. K. Thompson officiating.
Immediately after the ceremony
the welded couple left for New Or
leans and other places of interest
on the southern coast. The New
Year will bring them back, when
they will be "at home" at the resi-
dence of DR.. and Mrs. Reed. These
young people have become endear-
ed to their numberless friends by
their loving, estimable personality.
Miss Reed is one of the most ac-
complished ever reared IN our
midst, possessing rare intellectual
attainments blended with a chris
tain character that creates her a
perfect woman. DR.. Colon has
established himself as a physician
of great merit, gentle and courte-
Gus to all, he has drawn around
him the regard of the people who
unite in wishing for these dear
friends the greatest success that
can come to them.
The Christmas German was an
event so fraught with the best of
earths creations that to know where
to begin to particularize is a most
difficult task. The hall had been
festooned with wild smilax, holly
and mistletoe. The chandeliers
had garlands most gracefully trim
ed about them while each upheld
clusters of carnations tied with ele-
giant ribbon, whose streamers wav-
ed gently to an fro by the breeze
created by the graceful movements
of devotees of the may dance.
These decorations with lace and
silk draperies for doorways, mantles
and windows made a reception hall
worthy of the elegantly dressed la
dies and gentlemen that had gather
ed to participate in the pleasures
of the Terpsichoran art. At nine
o'clock the strains of Prof. McCann's
matchless orchestra foated, out
and the German lead by Mr.. G. G.
Taylor and Miss Cora Hnckins, was
