WHIST CLUBS FIRST MEETING

The exodus of society folk to an hundred and one different summer re- sorts and watering places to escape the heated season of an inland South ern town brought lull in club life which has held sway for several months, but the return home of many erstwhile absent ones has ushered in what now promises to be quite run of social entertainments.
 The first meeting for the fall season of the Fortnightly Whist club was held Wednesday with Mrs. Gus Mar tin and there were three tables of players present, who found an added interest in the game by reason of a long vacation from it's pleasures.
 The refreshments of cream. cake, olives and coffee were delicious and enjoyed by all.
 Those present were Mesdames Gus tave Jones, Narcie Minor, B. B. Bond, J. P. Berman, o. D. Watson, 0. R. Hite, L. Minor, w. A. Billingsley, Misses Ray and Lucy Brandenburg, Lula Empie and Mary Laird.
