Banquet in Honor Of Mrs r L Nc
Knights Birthday.

Before ushering in the Christ
mas festivities, Iuka matrons and
maidens paused TO celebrate the
birthday of one of her most dis
tinguished citizens, Aunt Elsie"
IS everyone lovingly call Mrs
R L Mcknight. Tuesday, Dec.
l4th, was the notable day. The
guests, So or 40 in number,
assembled at the home of Mr. c D
Adams, then marched in a body
to the Mcknight home. Aunt
Elsie stood in the reception hall
with open arms and smiling face,
to receive her guests. We were
ushered at once into the Banquet
Hall, beautifully decorated with
holly and u D c colors. Silver
candalabras on table and mantel,
banked with holly and poinsettas,
cast soft rich glow over the
beautifully appointed tables.
When all were seated, Mrs DR.
Richardson, the oldest guest,
asked the blessing. The five
course menu was all that culinary
art could produce. Mrs S F How
ard, as toast-mistress, presided
with elegance and ease.
The Secretary first called the
names of the Presbyterian Aid
Society and U DC members, each
responding with some happy good
wish for our hostess. Mrs Paden
gave toast to the grand old Pres
byterian church and ladies Bible
class, whose splendid teacher,
Mrs Donald Edwards, has done so
much to make. this class a success.
Mrs DR. Carmack's toast was a
beautiful tribute to the Daughters
of the Confederacy. Miss May
Belle Williams, in we'll chosen
words and original verse, made
Our Guests" feel thrice welcome
Mrs B L Martin beautifully ex-
pressed the sentiment of all pres
ent when she paid tribute to our
Hostess, who responded in most
loving terms, to her Daughters,
CO. workers and friends. The flow
of wit and feast of soul continued,
until the evening shadows length
ened.
The large number of beautiful
and useful gifts attested the love
and appreciation of Aunt Elsie.

The Missionary Society Of the Meth
odist Church.

Mrs c w Mcknight, Mrs Gar
rard and Mrs Hall entertained the
Missionary Society, with a num-
Der of invited guests at the home
lof the former Tuesday afternoon,
Dec. goth.
After the devotional service,
lead by Mrs Mcintosh, our presi-
dent, Mrs Mcknight. took the
chair, transacting the business of
the various departments of work.
Then came the annual election
of officers, which resulted as fol-
lows, Mrs c w Mcknight, Pres
ident; Miss Annie Jourdan list
vice Pres; Mrs Laura Copeland,
End vice-Pres.; Mrs E N Reed,
Treasurer; Mrs B L Martin, Re-
cording Secretary; Mrs Maggie
Harris. Cor. Secretary; Mrs w T
Ross, Supt. of Social Service; Mrs
G w Neal, Supt. of Supplies.
Mrs Garrard as Chairman of the
Entertainment Committee, then
took charge, calling on Mrs Mar
tin for a poem. She gave Twas
the Night Before Christmas. :"
We caught the spirit at once and
were fully prepared for the Christ
mas pudding given by Mrs Harris.
The component parts of this pud-
ding were beautiful thoughts,
words and deeds. Mrs Copeland
read in most impressive man
ner Wanted.
We were then ushered into the
parlor where gorgebusly deco
rated Christmas tree met our
gaze. Forty children could not
have been more ardent in admira-
ton or more eager in enjoyment
than this band of women. We
were given slips of paper, num-
bered, and we had to hunt for the
corresponding number to find our
gift. The well-filled Christmas
stockings had cards attached with
original verses composed by our
hostesses, asking prayer for ev-
cry phase of our Home and For
eign work. Our president, al
ways manifesting thoughtfulness
of others, especially those less for
tunate ones, suggested the beau-
tiful idea that we save these good
things and make some little one
happy Christmas morning. Be-
fore we could be made to feel our
loss, Miss Elsie Mcknight entered
with a well-filled waiter and our
physical natures were thoroughly
satisfied.
Much of this unique and ele-
giant entertainment was due to the
suggestion and help of Mrs George
Wight, of Atlanta. We came
away from this lovely entertain
ment with greater desires for use
tulness, larger visions of service
and best wishes for a Merry
Christmas to all who entertained
us SO royalty. A Member.
