WeWeLIfOn Society Notes.

For some days this week Oul
young people were actively engaged
I'm making arrangements for big
Bud Scott dance to he given on Wed
nesday evening at Newellton, and
issued invitations to numbers of
friends in this parish and elsewhere
and the attendance was about the
largest that we have ever seen at
similar affair in this town, and
would have been much greater but
for the unavoidable misconnection
of trains at Ferriday, due to the
failure of the transfer to land at
Vidalia on account of the heavy fog.
In this connection your correspond
ent wishes to state that every means
was exhausted by our people toward
getting the band and the guests up
from Natchez but despite every effort
it was found impossible to obtain
either special train or automobile
service from Ferriday. However, de-
termined that the affair should not
be failure and our people and their
guests disappointed, the committee
on arrangements secured Louis
Smiths Band from st. Joseph,
which proved a most acceptable sub
stitution for Bud Scott and dis
coursed excellent music all night
long," and dancing continued I'M
til the wee sma' hours"
The refreshments for the occasion
had been ordered FROM Natchez and |
like the band had failed to arrive,
but our good ladies as usual proved |
equal to the occasion, and served on
such short notice an elegant and |
most appetizing luncheon, which
was enjoyed by every one.
The attendance was so large that
is quite impossible to mention all |
who were present, and it is sufficient
to say that a larger and more repre-
sentative gathering of our people
has seldom if ever collected at old
Murdoch Hall, famed for its many
notable assemblages in the social !
history of our town and which have
so much to the pleasure
OF our people. Brilliantly illuminat-
ed and artistically decorated in hon.
or of the occasion, the hall present
ed most inviting appearance, but
despite its unusual proportions stand
ing room was at premium, many
being compelled to seek chairs on
the broad veranda.
The occasion was such a pro-
nonced success, despite the failure
Of the Natchez train to arrive, that
are already being made
toward the recurrence of a
similar affair about 10th December
when Bud Scott's Band most GER
tainly will be present for the occa-
sion, and to which a most cordial
invitation is extended by the people
If Newellton to their friends every
where to attend.
