MISS CHARLOTTE TURNER
CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY.

Miss Charlotte Turner entertained
Friday afternoon at her home on
Bell street with one of the prettiest
birthday parties of the season. The
occasion was the celebration of her
thirteenth natal day, and assembled
a congenial bevy of young people
to felicitate her. The living rooms
were prettily decorated with early
spring flowers, ferns placed about
adding vernal charm to the effect
The dining room table had for it's
centerpiece a charming arrangement
of yellow jonquils. placed in crys-
tai basket, and from this golden
streamers were carried to the four tall
lighted tapers at the corners. Bon
bon dishes held yellow candy in fan
ciful shapes scattered about the TIA
bic, and individual small yellow cakes
were served with cream. The birth
day cake was illuminated with thir-
teen lighted tapers, and proved a
charming attraction for the guests.

THE WOMAN'S SIDE OF
THE BIG CIVIC DINNER.

If indeed it is true that coming
events cast their shadows before,
those in charge of the big civic din
ner given in the large dining room
of the Windsor hotel Friday night
should accurately foretell the I'M
bounded success of the re-organiza-
ton CT the Chamber of Commerce,
to which women will be admitted
Not only admitted, but urged to af-
hliate with it for the betterment of
the civic conditions in Americas. New
er before in the history of Americas
have so many earnest women given
their representation to one single
cause. The various clubs of Am
circus are well attended by the indi-
viuual membership of their own or
carnations, and splendid work is be-
ing accomplished by the union of
strength and purpose, but last night
all the clubs had their representa-
tVes, not merely one from a club,
but several who came, and saw, and
conquered. Doubtless the very men
who launched this enterprise for the
specific purpose of a great get-to-
getner meeting We're surprised at the
cordial sympathy expressed in silent
congregation at the dinner of the
ladies' of Americas. Their undivided
attention was given to the magnlf-
cent speeches made, and wealth of
information was gained therefrom
which will be used to great advantage
IN carrying on the work of the clubs.
The dinner was superb, and the oc-
caston was altogether one of the
most delightful in the social history
of AmerIcus. Among the pleasing
features of the evenings education
and pleasure was the community
singing conducted by Miss Ella Polk,
director of music in Americas pub
lie school, and the manner with which
she directed the chorus was note
worthy. The orchestra consisted of
several instruments, with Mrs. Joe
johnson presiding at the piano, j. E.
Johnson, the clarinet; Prof. Druck-'
enmlller, the violin; A. c. Ames, cor
net, and J. K. Barlow, flute They
played both popular and classical Sc
lecdons, and this feature added much
to the enjoyment of the evening.
Among the women present were
Mrs. Win Dudley, Mrs. Clarence
Niles, Miss Emmae Borum. Miss Ella
Polk, Mrs. Frank Lanier, Mrs. John

over forty years, says:
Medical science has never before

suits like Tanlac. have been pre-

able results. Personally | had suf-
fered for years from stomach trou-
bic and rheumatism and had devot-
ed my best thought trying to find re-
lief but to no avail. After eating,
gas would form in my stomach and
affect my heart, causing poor circu-
lation, cold hands and feet, dizziness,
peculiar feelings, terrible headaches
and cramps. The rheumatism panied
me so l could hardly stand to move
my legs or arms.
Il had a patient who. had also suf-

as mine, and although | did all could
for him he got no better. One day,
after he had been away for about six
months, he came to my Office and
never in N.Y. life have | seen a man
look better or seem to feel better
than he did. He told me Tanlac was
what had brought about the wonder
full change. I began trying the medi-
cine at once with the result that few
bottles relieved me entirely of stom-
ach trouble, rheumatism and all my
other ailments. Although l am an
extra hearty eater nothing ever dis

prescribed Tanlac in cases of rheu-

Tanlac to the public for the benefit Of

dency. and could have been elected
to serve another term, his heart
yearned for the quiet agricultural
life at Mount Vernon. In his fare
well speech to the American people,
he exhorted them to the harmony and
union in all things. How apt this ad-
dress is in this day of strife and tur-
mol, wranghng with the peace treaty,
strikes, internal disturbances and
outside dissolutions.
Washington went back to his home
in 1897, and there on the beautiful
banks of the Potomac, spent the re-
naming days of his life in dignity
and quiet Inequalities. 1t was uni
versally regretted that his public ca
recr was ended.
In December, 1893, Washington
caught cold from imprudent exposure,
and died on the 14th day of the
month after a short illness-not what
we should call very old man. On
the 10th of December he was buried
quietly and without parade in the
family vault at Mount Vernon, and
the whole nation mourned for him as
the Israelites mourned for Samuel of
old, whom he closely resembled in
character and services.
So today as his birthday is cele-
brated in the minds of the American
people, three hundred years after his
birth, he is as alive in beauty of ma
ture, gentleness of spirit, magnani-
NIFTY, as in the days when he was the
first ruler of this great nation of
American people.

THALEAN ENTERTAINMENT
GREAT SUCCESS.

The entertainment at Thalean Con-
solidated school Friday evening was
attended with the most remarkable
success. More than three hundred
guests were present, and the even
ing was one of great pleasure and
bentit. Miss Sarah Walters, princi-
pal of the institution, gave a reading,
her subject being varied sufficiently
to amuse and entertain the large
audience. Piano selections by Miss
Hilda Johnson and Miss Maggie Phin-
ely were an added feature to the
pleasure of the evening. H. 0..Jones
told many amusing stories and anec-
dotes, and won added laurels by his
ability as an auctioneer. The boxes
were brought to his table, filled with
all sorts of good things to eat, these
being sold to the highest bidder In
this manner more than 500 was
realized from the sale Of the contrib
uted boxes, and this money will be
used Immediately in adding to the
equipment so badly needed for the
class rooms. The faculty is very de-
sirous of getting maps, globes and
other appliances for the different
grades, and later as the money is re-
ceived the library facilities are to
be enlarged. Reference books such
as are placed in Carnegie library here,
are sorelv needed, as the students
cannot come into Americas for their
ready references. This is a most
worthy endeavor, and friends are con-
tributing as freely as lies in their
power to the betterment of this school.
At the conclusion Of the evenings en-
tertainment, the guests were refresh
ed with ar oyster supper deliciously
prepared by the people of Thalean
vicinity.
Miss Mary Ann Jacobs is in Ma
con this week, where she will be the
guest of friends until Monday.
