Pay As We OG

so far as possible, | believe that
every generation should pay its own
debts. We should not pile up debts
for the future to take care of. The
only thing we should be guarded
against is the wickedness of the
bankers and Wall street spectators,
who occasionally get up a panic. The
Almighty is going to require of us
to continue to strive and do our best,
and we shall yet see the picture of
honest men doing honest business.
We had ten years of unprecedented
prosperity until the late financial de-
preston, and We can have it again
But We must all exercise honesty and
fairness to all men.
We have great questions that we
must meet as we go along, and these
questions-the negro question, for
instance-we must meet and solve.
There is a negro question that We in
in the North cannot control. This
question must be controlled by our
friends in the South, and it is our
duty to. encourage them in it's solu-
ton
The colonial question is another,
and we must do our best to care for
and educate the people we have
inherited

FAIR VISITORS WERE HONORED
Mrs. HightOwer Entertains for Misses
Thornton

One of the most enjoyable enter
tainments of the midsummer season
was the large party given on Friday
evening by Mr.. and Mrs. J. E. High
tower, at their home on Hampton
street, in honor of Mrs Hightower's
sisters, Misses Cordelia and Annie
Love Thornton, two fair maids of
Athens, who are her charming guests
The Hightower home, always at
tractiye, was particularly so on this
occasion, being decorated most arts
tically with ferns, palms and roses.
In the dining room was the punch
table, most tastefully arranged, with
ferns as decorations. Punch was
served by Misses Jennie Harrison and
Mary Fort, two of the most attrac
tive of the younger set.
The trio of charming sisters re-
ceived their guests in the front par
lor, being assisted by Mrs. Alice
Morgan. Mrs. Hightower wore a
handsome and becoming gown of
green satin, trimmed in gold braiC
and lace.
Miss Thornton's dress was pale
blue null, made princess and Ella
borately trimmed with dainty lace.
Petite Miss Annie Love Thornton
wore a pink Rajah silk, which was
most becoming TO her brunette
beauty.
Progressive conversation" was
the game played and with merry
laughter and bright conversation, the
hours passed all too swiftly. At a
late hour ices and cake were served
by Misses Lynda and Lula Mathis and
Misses Mary Fort and Jennie Har
rison.
