Easter Sunday at Memorial Baptist
church was very pleasing to it's mem
bers and friends who were present in
large Numbers during the day.
Flowers and birds were generously
used in the decorations. Special
music was furnished by the choir.
Rev. 3. H. Mcdonald, the pastor.

The Black and White costume ball
at Union Hall under the auspices of
the 4 AS was a successful and highly
enjoyable affair. A number of splen-
did costumes of black and white COM
Dlned were worn, and the effect was
quite pleasing. OF course the princi-
pal feature was the dancing of the
German, which was led by Mrs. V. D.
Turner and Mr.. Ernest Alexander and
Miss Albreta Bell and Mr.. Paul Wig
glnton, and it was novel innovation.
Ihere were two pretty figures, one
the tandem drive of the ladies of the
So-Lit club by Mrs. Turner, with
black and white ribbon reins: the
other the Introduction of six gentle
men representing Easter eggs. The
favors table for the gentlemen was
presided over by Mesdames G.. Harper

surprise papers, and was presided
over by Mesdames Young, Hily and
Lyles. The punch table was in
charge of Mesdames Archer, Mills,

delightful in every way, and Mr.. B. C.
Archer, who was the general mana
The charity entertainment for the
benefit of the Crispus Attacks Home
at Union Hall attracted quite a large
crowd, but not near so large as it
should have been, considering the
object for which it was given and the
arduous labors of the general mana
ger, Mrs. J. E. Cloak, who left nothing
undone in her efforts to secure sue
cess. The ladies were very hand
somely gowned and looked lust too
sweet for anything." The special fea-
ture was the drill by sixteen ladies
and gentlemen under the command of
Capt. G. H. Miller. The ladies wore
costumes of white, and the gentlemen
wore full dress suits and high silk
hats. Those in the drill were: Mes
danes Florence Cloak, Matte Hicks,
Hattie Hall, Mildred Johnson Bessie
Miller, Jennie Kelly, Carrie Lindsay
and Birdie High. The gentlemen
were: Messrs. John Kelly, S. E. Hall,
A. V. Hall, B. C. Archer, J. H. Coins,
J. b. Murphy, H. High, G. Harris.
The drill was very fine The program
further consisted of short address by
Mr.. O. c. Hall, singing by the Hall trio,
solo by Mrs. Harriet Oliver, address
by Attorney w. T. Francis, and last
but not least, a few selections were
rendered by quartet of Fisk Jubilee
Singers: Messrs. J. W. Work, tenor
and director; J. A. Meyers, tenor; J.
E. Harris, baritone; L. L. Foster,
bass. The entire affair was highly
enjoyable in every way, and Mrs.
Cloak and her assistants are entitled
to much credit for their indefatigibla
and successful labors.
