Philathea Reception.
The Philathea class of which Mrs.
Stapleton is the efficient teacher gave
a lovely reception at Hotel Hatties
burg last evening^ complimentary to
the Baracca class of the First Baptist
church. The chaperones were Mes
dames R. B. Stapleton; I. P. Trotter
and A. Polk. The young girls of the
receiving line were Misses Hattie
Hill, Ruth Daughdrill and Annie Cora
Gilliam,
refreshments
Those serving the delicious
were Misses Nannie
Waller and Fanny Thompson. The
entertainment committee was compos
sed of Misses Bessie Rawls and oth
ers, who were radiant with pleasure,
in thus so beautifully entertaining the
large number of guests who were bid
den to partake of so elegant an af
fair. The pleasures of the evening
were very much added to by the rendi
tion of two songs, very well rendered
by Misses Thompson and Daughdrill.
The music by the Philathea-Baracca
orchestra was unusually sweet and
"Home, Sweet Home," by Mr. Dantzier
charmed all who heard the soft, sweet,
strains. Those who managed this af
fair, feel especially grateful for the
beautiful courtesies extended-the-pop
ular manager and also to Miss Irma
Reaumont and Mr. Murphy for special
favors. There was music galore, and
all else that goes to the making of a
perfect evening, so that when the time
for the good nights came they were
reluctantly said. The party being a
congenial one, and the members of
it being individually brilliant and
the charming occasion proved one of
the most delightful of the season and
one of the brightest in the series of
happy affairs given by this class and
their popular leaders.
Willie and Walter Bass, of Enter
prise, are the guests of their sister,
Mrs. C. W. Hassell.

Mrs. Burr Entertained Aid Society.
At the spacious home of Mrs. SteiTh
qn Burr, which has been the scene of
so many pleasant gatherings and suc
a
cessful entertainments, occurred on
yesterday afternoon another lovely af
fair t^hen she, assisted by Mrs. Ed.
Weaver, entertained the Ladies' Aid
Society of the First Presbyterian
church. The entertainment was a
most conspiclous success, and proved
a fitting end of the year's work that
has been accomplished by this splen
did society. There were thirty-five
members present, and five guests, and
one new member was added to the
roll. A dainty luncheon was served by
the hostesses, assisted by Mesdames
Major Cornell, Webb, Misses Lois
Currie and Allen. The home was ap
propriately decorated for the occasion
with emblems of the Yule- Tide, and
the autumn flowers.
The afternoon
was one of more than usual pleasure.
Sparkling wit, merry conversation and
flashing reparte filled the time
pleasantly, until a late hour had roll

warn the guests that the day was end

One feature

when the bright young boys of the
Baracca class came marching in. Their
bearing was so manly, and suggestive
of the fact that they were indeed
workers of the Lord, the noblest and
purest call that any young boy

Christmas Tree.
The Newman Chapel Sunday school
that is''under the able direction of the
Salvation Army gave a Christmas tree
last Evening at the chapel. This
Sabbath school has a membership of
fifty or forty who attend no other
Sunday school. One hundred and fif
teen presents were given, together
with' a sack of fruit and nuts to each
one, besides there were fourteen.sacks
of confections given to mothers with
little babies.
This truly benevolent order, with
loving thoughts of the Master, who
said "In as much as ye do it unto the
least of these, my brethren, ye do it
unto me." And this was demonstrated
in the way which the Christmas Child
Himself pointed out, these good people
looking after and caring for His lit
tle ones.
