Never elaborate and always character
 fzed by dignity and grace peculiarly lt' own, the Southern club reception lasl night had in addition to these charms an efferescent gayety which made 1t ths most successful affair conducted withif its walls for many years.
 A distinction marks the annual enter tainment at the club, which because of the many years of its social prominence and the many times in which 1t has con ducted conspicuous functions to trium- phant completion, has assumed an admit ted place of social eminence. The annual Thanksgiving cotillon and reception at the club is recognized, indeed as the firing of the shot which starts the social sea son. When it Is over the season. may be said to have been formally introduced. Now that the twenty-t1rd annual event has become thing of the past, and it Is viewed in retrospect it will be pronounced by any who were among the guests as eminently satisfactory and a credit to Bir- mingham in every regard.
 Represent Club as Host
 A group of the well known members of the club represented the organization as hosts. They were stationed during the early hours of assembly in the lower hall, where the cordiality of their welcome made delightful introduction to the en- suing enjoyment, and included William Ryan. T. II. Aldrich. sr, B. M. Allen, A. Benners, J. R. Carter, E. B. Crawford, A. DeValcourt, F. M. Drennen, E. J. Dunn, o. P. Gaut, Thomas N. Hall Harry Jones, w. B. Leedy, George T. Me- Gaughey, J. w.

Wilkinson, Lee Clary, c. B. Froment.
 The floral decorations which were planned and arranged by the decorator who has for several seasons beautitied the building for the ball were, nevertheless, distinctive and most artistic. In the veranda which was inclosed in canvas to the carriage entrance, stood several groups of bay trees and palms. The en- trance hall was especially elaborate in its treatment with wild smilax; the plants were garlanded between the pilasters, and suspended from each beam were draperies of the vines so that the effect suggested vine curtained recess. The shelf on which rests the visitors directory was banked with palms. In the writing room and the reading room the mantel and fire place were bedeeked with palms and ferns, and on the tables stood great vases of chrysanthemums and roses,
 The stairway leading to the ballroom, dressing rooms and reception room of the club was draped with greenery, so that 1t made leafy background as one lovely woman after another ascended swathed in her fflmy robes and envelop- ing cloak satin slippers daintily displayed and sparkling with brilliants. Above were green lined hall and library with it's draperies of asparagus and its clusters of

Mr.. JOHN HAWKINS,
Jasper, Tenn.
Dear Sir:
We wish to write you and express our
appreciation of the benefit derived
from the medicine we bought from you.
Our daughter, May, girl of IS years of
age, had suffered greatly with female
trouble. For months she had no use of
her mind at all. She was perfectly
helpless, someone had to be cons family
with her. We had several doctors to
wait on her, but none of them seemed
TO do her any good.
We bought from you bottle of Wat
kins Female Remedy, and used it,
Then we bought the second bottle
May was much improved by this time.
And now we are on the fourth bottle
and she is all right. Her mind is good
and her physical condition is splendid,
In fact, the medicine has com pletely
cured her from all appearances.
We want to highly recommend Wat
kins Female Remedy, and advise all
women suffering with this trouble to
try it. With best wishes,
Very truly,
BEN HARRIS.

Clean up the bowels and keep
