as it is still accepted among separate
waists but no longer as composing q

Mr.. Becker's Anniversary.

Last Monday was the fiftieth
anniversary of Mr.. F. f. Becker,
one of the oldest and most re-
spected gentlemen of our city, and
his Immediate family and their
connections treated him to quite a
surprise in the shape of Baby
Party Without Mr.. Becker's
knowledge the large dining room
at his home had been fittlngly
decorated and the usual large cake
with a candle for each year occu-
pied the center of the great table.
At eight O'Clock the folding doors
between the dining room and par
lor were thrown open, and lmme-
diately crowd of dainty boys and
girls dressed to ages from infants
in arms to knowing boys and girls
of Is, marched into the sitting
room, where Mr.. Becker was
reading, singing, 'Grandpa's
Birthday Has Come Again. and
surrounding him, presented him
with base balls. bats, marbles.
tops, kites and stick candy.
So surprised was Mr.. Becker
and SO convuIsed with laughter at
the sight of the men and women
of his family gone back to the
dress of their childhood days that
he could hardly express bis APP
probation of the beautiful gifts
thus showered upon him. Luckily
Mrs. Becker came to his rescue
and invited him and bis young
company back to the dining room,
where they stood around the large
table to regular birthday dinner,
supplemented OF course by some
few things to eat and drink, not
usually offered atcultured parties.
Many toasts were proposed and
drank to this fine old gentle
man by the happy children and
it was only when the clock was
kpointing the midnight hour that
Mrs. Becker told the guests that
it was getting late and their mamas
would be worrying about them
and that they must get ready to 60
home.
Among those enjoying the even
ing were: Mesdames johnson,

SPRING CATARRn.
Price Drug Co. Sell lIyomei Under
Guarantee Or Cure.

The changeabIe weather oi
spring is directly responsible fol
the prevalence Of catarrhal trouble.
in Brookhaven at the present
time.
As result the Price Drug Co
have bad larger sale for Hyomel
the past week than ever before il
the years that they have handled
this reliable treatment for the cure
4 of catarrh.
Unlike the ordinary remedies
that have been used in catarrhal
troubles, there is no stomach dos.
ing with Hyomei. 1t is breathed
through neat pocket inhaler that
comes with every outfit, and its
balsamic, antiseptic healing pene-
trates to the most remote cells OF
the nose, throat and lungs, killing
all catarrhal germs, healing the ir-
ritated mucous membrane, and
effecting a complete and perma-
nent cure.
If there is a single catarrhal
germ in the system, Hyomei will
search it out and absolutely de-
stroy it, completely eradicating the
trouble. The remedy has made
so many cures among their custo-
mers that they offer to pay for it
themselves if it does not benefit
even the worst case of catarrh.
The complete outfit costs only
81, consisting of an inhaler, med
icine dropper, and bottle Of Hyo-
mel, while extra bottles of Hyo-
mel can be obtained for 80 cents.
There will not be even this small
expense if Hyomei does not
cure, as the Price Drug Co. will
return your money.

Al MhltWorlh COLLEGE.

Two charming literary functions
we're those at Whitworth last Fri,
tday evening and Saturday after
moon. The Harvey johnson anc

Icelebrated on the first day men,
Itioned and the annual class day
was held on Saturday.
The Harvey Johnsons had Sc,
lected Mrs. a r. Watkins, Of Jack,
Ison, wife of ex-P President Wat.
lkins, as speaker, while the Philos
were honored Id having Dir. Al IA
Kern, of Millsaps College, as their
orator. The Art Of Reading
and the Poetry Of Poe' we're
the themes chosen respectively,
and praise Of both speakers per.
vaded the entire audience when
the last number OF the attractive
program had been given. Misses
Lois Cooper, Ella Crisler, Annie
Marks and Corinne Venable fur
nished music, vocal and instru-
mental, for the evening, and Mis-
lses Eva Cooke and Ethel Ellis
gave excellent readings.
On Saturday afternoon another
interesting program was presented
by the seniors, whose History
was given by Miss Evelyn Cook;
Poem by Miss Mary Cook: Pro.
phecy by Miss Matte Purser:
Gifts by Miss McRaLey; Will by
Miss Bradley, while the Presi-
dents Address by Miss Lois
Cooper, was a very choice bit of
English. Music was furnished by
Misses Cooper, Partee, Newsom,
Meyers; readings by Misses Kim
brough and Osborn.
The audience was then invited
to adjourn to the campus, where
the Glass Tree," this time an ivy
vine, was planted; each fair girl
graduate throwing a shovel of dirt
upon the evergreen that in future
years will bear testimony of the
eyentful day. Here, surrounded
by the fower-like school girls and
under the shade of the widespread
ing trees, Mr.. j. Warren McNair
made the address of the evening
and won encomiums of praise
from his pleased hearers, among
many of whom Warren has spent
his life. The class song was sung,
after which DR.. Hawkins escorted
the class Of fifteen sweet girl
graduates to Prices where the eli
max of joys was reached when
they were served with the ice
cream that has made this resort
famous.
Whitworth College never had a
more excellent and attractive class
of graduates than those of s'06.o
For the first time in her history
the class was presented with a ban
ner and from two teachers who
knew and admired them Misses
Lin and Gardener-and it was ap-
propriately borne ut the head Of
the long procession on Class Day,
as they lightly trod upon the rose
strewn path up the broad aisle
made fragrant and beautiful by
the loyal Freshmen who preceded
them. We doubt not this class
will make an impression for good
and usefulness upon the world it
is about to enter.
