MR.. BLACKMAN COMPLIMENTS
THE BRIDE AND GROOM.

Mr.. Alex Blackman gave a most
delightful Picture-Party Tuesday
night in honor of Mr.. and Mrs. Mara
BILE Harper.
The fortunate members of the par
ty, besides the host and honorees,
were Mr.. and Mrs. E. F. Newell, Mr..
and Mrs. Kirk T. Hazlip, Miss Birdie
Coleman, Miss Berta Newell and Rev.
M. ]. McLain.
The Picture, in which the attract
i've Eleine Percy played the leading
role, was lovely story, ending, as
most love stories do, in that glorious
climax of bliss-an omen of Mr.. and
Mrs. Harper's future life, We predict.
Immediately after the picture, Mr..
Blackman's guests had another de-
lightful surprise awaiting them at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Newell. All
were invited into the dining nall,
which was beautifully. decorated for
the occasion, where a delicious sup
per was served. In the center Of the
dining table, was a great bowl Of
sweet peas and fern, artistically ar
ranged as one of Natures lovliest
center pieces. Hidden under this bank
Of sweet peas and fern, were va
rious gifts, each accompanied by an
original verse dedicated to the bride
and groom by Mr.. Blackman and his
ether guests.
Fate stuck her finger in the pie,
as she is ever doing, and turned the
tables of a would be trick on the
bride and groom, upon those who
had planned it. Placed just over the
entrance door of the dining hall, was
a box Of rice, thoughtedly fixed so
that as the bride and groom entered
first and opened the door, it would
fall and thus shower them with rice,
but to the amazing disappointment
Of the other guests, the box Of rice
sat serenely still and rode on to
safety without even so much as spill
ing grain. However, all knowing
Fate to be full of tricks and pranks,
We sincerely hope this will be the
only prank she ever plays on the hap
py pair.
Mr.. Blackman has always proved
himself an able host but upon this
occasion he surpassed any time ever
before and We are sure he felt amply
repaid by the sweet and sincere
smiles of appreciation received from
the blushing bride.
The whole evening passed off so
pleasantly and quickly that the de-
lighted guests did not realize the late
ness Of the hour until the old cock
anpounced midnight. Whereupon the
guests grudgingly departed but not
before thanking Mr.. Blackman for
most delightful and enjoyable
evening.
Mr.. Blackman is a living example
of: if you would entertain success
fully, put your whole heart, soul and
thought in the effort and the sum is
always: success.

LINEN SHOWER TO MR. AND
MRS. HARPER.

Mr.. and Mrs. Reeve Lewis and Mr..
and Mrs. Kirk T. hazlip gave a mis-.
cellaneous shower at the home of
the latter, Wednesday night, in hon.
or Of Mr.. and Mrs. Marable Harper.
The whole house stood wide open,
bespeaking the usual hospitality of
its good people. Each room and hall
had been so tastefully and artist
cally decorated for the occasion, that
when the bride and groom, and their
many friends, walked into the long
dining hall, they well imagined them
selves in one of Natures lovliest
flower gardens. Flowers, palms, ferns
and moss adorned this room-well
we might say in every crack and crew
ice, for Reeve Jr's loving hands had
seen to the decoration of the "crack
and crevice" which he had filled to
Overlooking with moss. The brides
cake, most beautiful one, made by
the brides great-aunt, Miss Sallie Pol
lard, who had also made the one for
the brides mother upon a like happy
occasion, was placed in the corner
of the dining hall, upon table deco
rated with soft ferns and flowers.
As each guest approached to try mis-
or her luck in the cutting, a happy
miniature bride and groom gave them
a smile of good cheer.
Mrs.. Reeve Lewis cut the ring,
Reeve Jr., the dime, which we sim
cerely hope bespeaks of the little
fellows future fortune, and Miss
Dorothy Skinner the thimble. How
ever as Miss Dorothy is such a pref
ty, sweet girl, we feel sure, instead
of the old version of this adage, it
really means that very soon she will
be using this same thimble in darn
ing some fortunate fellows socks.
Just after the cutting Of the we'd
ding cake and while the "two" brides
were still smiling at each other, Reeve
Lewis, Jr., came down the dining
hall, pulling a wagon, gaily deco
rated, and filled to overlooking with
gifts for the happy couple from low
ing relatives and friends. To evidence
the numerousness of these gifts, as
the little fellow handed to the bride
and groom the last one he exclaimed,
land this is the last one and am
just glad of it, cause l am tiredw
Music was heard for some time in
the distance and finally McGehee
Jazz Band entered the yard, playing
the very appropriate piece "Till We
Meet Again." Dancing was enjoyed
FOR quite while, but when the host
ess served her lovely refreshments,
all feet were stilled and other facul-
lies were soon doing double time to
he tune Of "The Cake Walk" Each
BOY and girl took piece of wedding
lake to dream on and if dreams
come true-well If dreams come
