The Columbus weekly dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 1902-1905, 1904-07-21

A consequence Of the all-per-
vading quiet has been a week
barren of events, and the social
world has been at lowest ebb
with the spirit of pleasure far off
if one may judge by the present
outlook. Interest ia the Normal
and its work increases, and apart
from our teachers, many other
Colum bians are taking advantage
of the opportunity offered to en-
joy the nature study and other
branches-of a course directed by
SO superior a faculty. A class
is engaged in studying the geo
logical formations near by, and
every few afternoons gay parties
may be seen on their way to the
hills. where quantities of wild
flowers of the early summer are
an added attraction.
For those upon travel bent st.
Louis continues the objective
point, riyaling the charms OF
mountain and seashore. Among
recent leave takers were Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Friersop, Mrs.
William III. Brooks, Miss Anna
Banks. Mrs. Pentecost. Miss Re
becca Pentecost and Mr.. e. T.
Moore. Mr.. Charles F. Sherrod
Jr.. and Mr.. J. A. Nelson, Jr..
will also visit the Fair after a
fortnight's camp upon one of the
Western lakes.
Mrs. Mamie Taylor Franklin

delightful luncheon Friday in

ty with Grape myrtle as the IA
vored flower. The guests were

Mrs. Eicholtz and Miss Ruth
Kennebrew, who have been quite
Ill with fever for several weeks,
are now at the home Of DIR. Nc
Kinley for treatment. Both have
improved since the change, an
improvement which it is hoped
foretells an early convalescence.
Miss Annie Payton, also a suf-
ferer from fever, has a host of
friendsswho welcome the news of
her improvement.

Yazoo City the coming session.
Mrs. T. B. Franklin was called
to Birmingham last week by the
critical illness of her sister, Mrs.
John S. White, from whom later
reports of more encouraging
nature serve to relieve, in a |
measure, the anxiety of count
less friends. Mrs. Georgia |
Young is also at her bedside.
