RECEPTION GIVEN DR.. RENNIE
AND FAMILY,

A beautiful event of the past week
was the reception given by the Earnest
Workers to their new pastor, DR.. Jos.
Rennie and his estimahle family, at the
First Presbyterian Church on last Fri
day evening.
Throughout the pretty church was the
golden glow of jonquils, with the green
cry of ferns and palms, in the softened
rays of the shaded lights, gave to the
scene which greeted the guests upon
entering picture of Spring which was
in brilliant contrast with the uninviting
weather without. An invitation had
been extended to all the pastors and
their congregations in the city and quite
large crowd was expected, but on ac-
count of the inclement weather very
few were able to be present and meet
the new pastor and his lovely family.
Delicious fruit punch was served by
four charming young ladies'. The dining
room was especially attractive. The
table was prettily decorated, having as
center piece, resting on a rich hand
made lace cover over yellow, a large
crystal vase filed with yellow jonquils
and ferns on a mirrored vase, wreathed
in feathery ferns, making a most effec-
tive center decoration, while waxen
candles with yellow shades added a
cheerful glow to the pretty picture.
Yellow and white mints filled the bon
bon dishes The color scheme was car
ried out in the dainty ices and cakes
served by bevy of pretty girls. A
delightful musical program was render
ed during the evening which was very
much enjoyed by all.

COTTON STATES DATES ADOPTED

President Arthur Lewis of the Cotton
States League, after hearing from the
towns and clubs around the 1912 circuit
approving and adopting the schedule
for the season, has announced the play
ing schedule as prepared by Mike Finn,
the expert statistician and schedule
builder.
AS the schedule stands the mileage
list is slightly over $4,000 miles, as
compared with q, ,402 last year, or not
nearly so far ahead as was at first
feared with New Orleans added to the
circuit.
Of the six places on the map, the
Greenwood mileage is the longest, with
a total of 5, 121 miles; Vicksburg, with
4,677 miles; Meridian, with 4,548 miles;
New Orleans, with 4, $50 miles; Hatties-
burg, with 1929 miles, and jackson,
the hub of the circuit, drawing the
short end, or 3,808 miles. AS stated by
Mr.. Lewis, these distances are approx
innate, rather than actual, though he is
of the opinion, along with other direc-
tors, that.they are fairly accurate,
Vicksburg gets the bulk of the Sun
day games, twenty of these dates be-
ing assigned the Hill City fans, while
New Orleans, the only other Sunday
play town, is slated for the other half
dozen Sabbath day dates,
The schedule provides for opening
games with Greenwood at jackson,
Hattiesburg at Meridian and New Or
leans at Vicksburg, on April II, and
July 4, double headers at Jackson with
Vicksburg, Meridian with Hattiesburg,
and Greenwood with New Orleans.
