Ellaville, Ga, January 12.-On
Tuesday evening last the Knights o.
Pythias opened the doors of their
comfortable lodge rooms and invited
the public to witness the installation
of the officers elected to serve the
coming year. Rev. r. E. Bailey act
ed as master of ceremonies, and
most splendidly did he do his part.
After those who had been elected
were duly installed, speeches were
called for, and wit and oratory held
full swing for some length of time. A
quartette composed of Messrs. Lew
Walters, Hudson Buist, c. T. Rainy
and Earl Collins rendered several Sc
lections.
Light refreshments were served
that were much enjoyed. Altogether
the affair was one productive of much
pleasure and will long linger in the
memory Of those SO fortunate as to
attend
In compliment to Mrs. A. R. Lewis,
of BroXton Mrs. E. L. Bridges in Mon
day last entertained at a spend-the-
day party. This affair was one of
the most pleasant entertainments OF
the New Year and was characterize
ed by much informality. At one
O'Clock, delicious hot luncheon was
served. Those present were Mrs. H
]. Williams, Mrs. E. E. Collins, Mrs.
A. R. Lewis.

the circuit was held here Tuesday,
Rev, C. A. Jackson presiding in his

and our people should be, indeed,
proud of the success they have at
tanned.
