Corner Creek Happenings.

We will endeavor this morning-the
beginning Of the twentieth century-to
give yon all few notes from our pen,
as to how our people spent the merry
Christmas holidays. It would be useless
for us to cay that we all enjoyed our
selves hugely attending parties, turkey
dinners. etc. And now as we start In the
new century, we earnestly trust that
every body has started right with new
resolutions to do better and live better
than they have In the nineteenth century
that has just passed out, and Is only to be
remembered as the things OF the past.
It is pleasant to reflect back for q few
years and think of the many jolly holi-
days Of the old century thai we have had
the pleasure OF enjoying.
One of the most enjoyable occasions Of
the holidays Just past, was bound sup-
per given at tho hospitablo home of Mr..
AID Mre. A. B. Shirley on,the night of
Dec. 10th. Early after the slu had passed
behind the western horizon, the young
people from far and near began to arrive,
and by o'clo ck large and merry crowd
were present to participate in the many
amusements Of the evening. All plays
OF every description that would amuse
the young folks were nlsyeI nnt.l about
10 O'Clock, when 10 and behold the dining
room door was swung wide open and
each boy with fair rgirl-twenty-eight in
number-entered the room to find the
table groaning with 30 many good and
delicious fruits, candies, meats, salads
and many ether good things too numer-
ous to mention. Aftor enjoying our
selves to the fullest extent, we again en-.
tered the parlor, where couple Of hours
more were pleasantly spent. and juat be-
fore the hour Of departure all gathered
around the organ, with, Clayton Rags
dale at the key board, t& give ue some
aweet music, and rs others Joined in the
stns!ss for few mcssents, which was
indeed nice. and therRe all, after bid
ding each other adieu, departed for our
respective homes to dream of the happy
moments so pleasantly spent,n that home.
Many thanks are due, and are hereby
rendered to Mies Lois Kay and Clayton
Ragsdale for gettlpg It up and making
the crowd enjoy themselves 80 much,
for every one certainly had delightful
