Club Meetings of April.

The members of the Goth Century
Book Club were the honorees of an
enjoyable affair on Friday evening,
April 7th, at the home of Mrs. Rich
burg. With the absence of two, the
members were all present.
Tennyson's SIN Memoriam'' was
again broughtup on program for the
evenings literary catchings, but it
proved to be but lost air, as the
reading committee did not respond.
An idea of vacation, or a retreat
from literary work, had crept in,
consequently fines were made adj
Unstable.
The business hour c osed, being
converted into a social realm of hap
py-hearted guests, and contagious
laughter intermingled with inspir-
ing music. Misses Lottie rPankey
and Pearl Richburg presided at the
piano, and the music was impress
sively sweet to music lovers.
A treat of refreshments came at
the usual hour.
The guests left loud in praise to
Mrs. Richburg, who was the hostess.
The Chafing-dish Club met at 8
O'Clock Saturday afternoon, at the
home of Mrs. Walls, with all of the
members present, and additional
guests. Several hours were enthu-
siastically spent in progressive
finch"
The charm of our Club is at the
era of blossom, however; we can no
longer adorn the name of "a garden
of flowers for the bachelor buttons
by acres are hedging I'M, and Mr..
Walter Carter was the first to make
appearance.
The 6 o'clock luncheon was a rare
treat, and to be of long remem-
brance. The delighted guests ten
dered much praise to Mrs. Walls,
who was the hostess of the occa-
sion. CLUE EDITRESS.

Musical and Literary Entertainment

Tomorrow (Friday) night, at the
Scooba Academy, the ladies of the
Baptist Church will hold an enter
tainment at which will be rendered
a musical and literary program by
home talent. Refreshments will be
offered for sale, and a general good
time is anticipated.
AS is well known these good ladies
are engaged in raising a fund to be
applied towards the erection and
furnishing of a church building at
this place, and their laudable en-
deayor should be encouraged to the
utmost. Come out, add help them
along; every little will be appre-
ciated.

What Magnificent Nervel

Somebody has said peace hath
her victories no less renowned than
war;" or words 70 that effect, and
the quotation occurred to us the
other day when considering the Won
derful nerve displayed by our young
friend Mr.. Walter Carter in storm
ing and forcing, single-handed and
alone, the citadel Of the Chahng-
dish Club, last Saturday evening.
1t is to be hoped, now that Mr..
Carter has ''broken the ice," that
some of the rest of the bachelor
buttons" may be allowed to drift
into the garden.

Nearly every case of consumption is
caused from neglected cold. Trying to
wear out a cough has not only been a
costly experiment, but a cad mistake to
many. A reliable remedy for coughs

should be used when the cough first
makes its appearance. 1t will ward off
ali danger from serious lung trouble.
