The Social Realm

We regret that the union Thanks
giving program given at the Metho-
dist church came in too late for last
weeks issue of the paper, but even
late we would like to say that the
Gibson Orchestra, composed of our
young boys, viz: Foster Geise, Roscoe
Huxford, Cortez Roberts, Dudley
Mize, Charlie Tassios and Give
Moore, was a surprise to most of US,
and was very much enjoyed. Not
many, we presume, know of this or
chestra.
The music and expression recital
at the school building was very en-
ioyable and successful affair. The
children taking part showed careful
and thorough training of their teach
ers. Thirty or forty visitors were
present.
The Harvest Festival enjoyed by
the missionary society of the Metho-
dist church last Thursday was one of
the most unique entertainments CIV
en-, and proved to be quite success
financially for the different commit
tees.
The w. C. T. US will meet at the
Methodist church next Friday at 3
p. m, and full attendance of the
membership is urged by the presl-
dent.
The trip to AndersOnville, which
Mrs. D. C. Pickett gave for Mrs. Nc
Nulty's visitor on Thursday, was
much enjoyed by the invited guests.
There seems to be quite dearth
of social news this week. Everybody
seems to be planning and getting
ready for Christmas.
Miss Susie May Dozier entertained
very pleasantly for her visitor with a
bridge party Saturday morning.
