The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1908-07-08

one of the handsomest and most
charming entertainments ever given in
Hattiesburg. Considering the inclem-
ent weather, quite crowd gathered
at this hospitable home, and very
nice sum was realized for the noun
tain school. There were seven beau
tifully decorated tables placed on the
pretty lawn, and delicious cake, cream
and watermelons were bountifully |
served.
The young peoples orchestra, sta |
toned on the lawn, played numerous
lovely selections, adding most pleas
ant feature to the evenings entertain
ment.
Altogether the affair was a great sue
cess in every particular, and all feel
grateful to the host and hostess for
their generosity and beautiful cour-
tesy so cheerfully given.
The ladies very much appreciate the
liberal patronage and kindness gen.
orally of the public. -
