was scene of gaiety on last Friday
afternoon, when youth and age met
to indulge in that more than popu-
! lar game, finch. Tables were ar,
ranged for twelve. The room was
darkened and lights twinkled from
candles on mantel and tables. Five
games were played. Miss Leila
Coffin won the prize, tiny hat
brush. The score cards were tiny
red striped stockings on which were
the words, "can you count the holes
in my stockings?" The same novel
idea was carried out in the salad
course, chocolate and sweets were
also served. Those present were:
Mrs. r. W. Tate, Misses Leila Cot
lin, Matte Cochrane, Susie Black,

He has been offered the position of

long time Mr.. McCarley was asso-
ciated with the present GeneralMan-
ager of the Tennessee Central, G. A.
Clark, who was formerly with the
Illinois Central. Mr.. Clark was
much impressed with the splendid
service rendered the Illinois Central
by Mr. McCarley, and it is for this
reason that he offered him the posi-
ton of Claim Agent with the Ten
nessee Central. Mr.. McCarley
while here stated that he had the
offer under advisement, but had not
reached any conclusion as to the
course he would pursue" Mr.. Nc
Carley was born and reared in Boil
var. He started at the bottom, not
many years ago, and is rapidly
climbing to the top of the ladder.
His numerous friends here are graf
flied at his success.
