Mrs. Joseph Browns Christmas ea-
chre, given on Thursday night to the
Ladies' Euchre club, was one Of the
| most beautiful affairs Of the holiday
season, Fifty guests were invited in
lcluding the husbands and friends of
the members. The lovely ball room
was decorated in gay holiday attire
with holly, mistletoe, bells and festoons
of evergreen, and lighted with beauti-
full Japanese lanterns. After the game
o delicious salad course was served by
the Misses Seize, Miss John Boston,
jr., Mrs. George Keller. Miss Mildred
Thompson and Miss Dykers. The frsf
prize, Madonna, was VISA by Mrs. Jor-
dan Black, and the visitors prize, set
OF Congress playing cards, by Mrs. D.
G. Cole. The gentlemen's prize, sill
yer handled whist broom, was won by
Mr.. v. L. Starr, and the consolation, a

A stranger came in on the electric
car few nights since and after riding
around the belt alighted at the court
house with grip in hand, desiring to go
to the depot; but instead of doing SO,
took an opposite direction, and walked
nearly all over the eastern side of town.
Tired and in a confused state, he finally
knocked at the door of house down on
Roswell street. Being asked what was
wanted, the gentleman seemed very
much worried, and said that he was
completely bewildered and lost. and
wished to know where the depot was
situated. He was told to go up to the
court house, where the car first stop
ped, and continue straight across
through the park, that being the near
est route to the place. Against these
instructions the stranger vigorously
protested. stating they had already
been given him, that he had just came
through and from the park, and to pur-
sue them was like chasing phantom.
He was reminded, however, that he
must be mistaken about having come
through the park, and to continue his
search on the eastern side of town
would not result in his finding the de-
pot, but probably lead him to where
phantoms, ghosts and hobgoblins are
supposed to dwell-the cemetery. At
this juncture, man going up town re-
lieved the strangers anxiety by pilot.
