EBENEZER AND BALLARD.

We are glad to report that Judge
Lea has decided not to break our
school district No. 70, and since he
has made his decision we hope the
people will come together and have a
good school.
We had very good rain down here
Sunday evening.
Wiley Roberts is teaching a sub
scription school at Ballard and John
ME Moore is teaching one at Ebenez-
er. We hope the boys will have good
luck and teach a good school.

said he is taking a few music lessons.
Several from around here are at
tending the meeting at Mars Hill this
week.
Mute Carter preached at Ebenezer
Sunday.
Misses Ella and Ida Johnson spent
Sunday with Misses Flora and Leila
Stivers.
Crops are looking well since the
rains.
G. W. Jones and family and Uncle
Edmon Snow spent the day last Sun
day at Mars Hill, where Rev. j. Cla-
renee Dawson is conducting a two
weeks meeting.
In regard to our school, We would
like to make suggestion. Why not
keep both buildings at the same place
and the new one in the center of the
district, so when we can't have long
term of public school we can have a
short term subscription school at each
place such as we now have? Let the
people come together and we will have
the best of schools. Together we
stand; divided we fall"

SOCIAL NEWS OF THE DAY.

SOCIAL NE"O VT TIE OH1'
The most beautiful naval ball this
season was that given at the Hotel
Colonial last evening, when a spec
tacle which will be long remembered
greeted the bevies of beautifully
gowned women and their escorts up
on their descent wrom their machines
which swept up the tropical drive
through Towering trees and shrub
berry, festooned and garlanded by
thousands of red, white and blue cleo
trio lights.
The porte-cochere and entrance to
the hotel was draped by huge ma
tional emblems, caught up at the
sides, forming a patriotic drapery and
immediate suggestion of the auspi-
cious nature of the formal function.
The reception hall was wildly scar
let in it's embankment of brilliant red
Ixora blossoms, heaped in jars and
banked solidly against the stairway.
These glowed crimson against back
ground of palms, tiny pennants and
dropping tender vines which outlined
the balustrade, the guests ascending
to their respective dressing rooms on
the upper floor through a border Of
flowers, flags and greenery.
The ladies dressing room was fra
grant with long stemmed American
Beauty roses, which issued in tail
splendor from crystal epergnes and
huge rose bowls, long tendrils of Aus
tralian fern dropping over in graceful
profusion.
Japanese maids in their pictur-
esque national costumes Of dull gray
silk kimonos and silk brown satin
"obis" attended the ladies in the re-
moval of their wraps and adjustment
of their flowers. The gentlemen's
dressing room was artistically ar
ranged with myriads of red IXoras
and palms.
On descending to the reception
room the guests were presented to
the receiving line by Lieutenant Leo
Sahm of the United States Lighthouse
Bureau.
In the receiving party were Mrs,
Walter Cleveland Cowles, Mrs. Wen.

This room was gorgeous in a dis
play of golden lilies heaped in bronze
jardinieres and an embankment of
these blooms interspersed by hun
dreds upon hundreds of yellow mar
guerites formed a floral background
for the ladies standing in the receiv-

About the room were numerous
palms and delicate traceries of vines,
caught up over doors and arches,
Issuing at length into the open air

seen.
For the pavilion was fringed by
hundreds of tiny red Japanese Ian

mating with small, futtering pen
nants. At one end, over in the fern
cry was draped a single huge silk
American flag, cougt up by gold
cord to one side, and revealing among
the masses of maidenhair and IXOras
innumerable tiny red, white and blue
electric bulbs.
The buffet and sideboard were
banked solidly with scarlet IXoras
and bright double red hibiscus blooms
which were yelled and fringed to the
floor by fragile vines. The blue and
white pottery in which the blossoms
were heaped completing the national
colOrs.
On the makai end of the lanai a
bandstand had been erected, the
woodwork of the platform rails being
concealed by trailing vines, draped
emblems and bunting, intersperseC
with red white and sblue electric
