from this class. William Sharpton
was the first to enroll in this class.
He is good scholar and enjoys the
Sunday school.
Gardens are almost cleaned up,
30 the housewives are having some
trouble as to what they will give
the hungry men, when they come
in for dinner. Oh, thanks for the
COW peas and sweet potatoes. They
are plentiful and we are enjoving
them.

their family leave tomorrow for
Atlanta to be present at the mar
riage of their son Eugene to Miss
Rhodes. Mrs. Eugenia Middleton

honor at the marriage will 60 with
the party. There are others who
will 60 from Augusta. Friend II.

him-a son getting married, build
ing house and a railroad strike.
He hopes for quiet rest when it is
all over.
Mr.. J. P. Nixon carried little
John to the hospital last week for
an operation. He is getting on nice

Mrs. H. E. Bunch, the most
charming hostess in Clark's Hill,
entertained at a little house party
Mrs. Nina Carter of Southwest
Georgia, Miss Helen Pratt of Due
West and few other friends. We
were invited to be with these charm
ing women. No one ever asks if
you had a good time when enter
tained in this home. They ask
could you take it all IN and how
did you manage to get away? On
account of the railroad scare Mrs.
Carter and Miss Pratt had to re-
turn home earlier than they ex-
pected. Mrs. Carter is grand
mother but is frequently taken for
her daughters Oldest sister. Her
hands and face are as soft and ten
der as a baby's and her feet and
ankles are the envy of all the girls.
Some one asked her if she ever did
anything, and she replied: Why
yes 1 get up before day and get
breakfast for my boys, help to clean
up the house and do most of my
ironing" When she dresses in the
afternoon she is prettier than any
girl she has. Mrs. Carter and Mrs.
Pratt are half-sisters of Mrs. j. 0.
