Laymon Hunter officiating.
Very timely expressions were
given by Miss Tynes, Mr.. Man
Ger Tucker, ST., the Reverands
Barber and Green of Boston,
and Elder Sneed also of Bos-
ton.
Interment took place in a
very yovely spot of the Elder
very lovely spot of the Edgell
Grove Cemetery. The de-
ceased will be greatly missed
by the members of his inn
mdiate family, his relatives,
and the host of friends and
acquaintance made during
the nearly fifty years he re-
sided in birmingham.
Mrs Viola Jackson is still
a patient at the Framing
ham Union Hospital but it

distant future she will be able

ter several days in the Har-

Mrs. Glendora Butner re-
Gently made a hurried trip to

at this time.

Dropped in on the Charles
Becketts the other day. The
bride was having delightful
time trying out her new wear
ever waterless pans. The din
ner looked delicious too.
The Club Assembly of BoS-
ton did it again. The Dia-
mond Ball was a beautiful
affair. The Queen ws most
regal in her snow white gown
and glittering Gri-color train
many yards long, compliment
ed by her court. And speak
ing of gowns, just picture an
ultra-ultra fashion show with
escorts attired in white ties,
tails and top hats. There was
much ooh-.ng and aah-ing
over the simply gorgeous crea-
ions. One couple did attract
the attention OF the writer be-
cause Of the deviation from
the usual. The young lady
wore gold brocaded evening
trousers, halter-style top, and
what happened to be pale blue
tulle skirt. Her wrap was of
layers of pale blue tulling-
banded at the neck with the
gold brocade. She was escor-
ted by a young man wearing
white tie, pale blue tails in
stead Of the traditional black,
black trousers and silk top
hat, and carrying a cane. Diff
ferent, to say the least. The
nearly 100-voice chorus did a
magnificent jon. Especially are
they due lots Of credit when
1t is realized that only a few
weeks before the chorus had
not even been formed. Mrs.
Lucy Mitchell and the director
are certainly justified in being
proud of the finished produc-
ton. Always at affairs OF this
kind, you see people from far
and near. 1t was a pleasant
