A Reception.
On Monday afternoon Mrs.
Charles C. Morrow entertained as a
pretty compliment to her sister, Mrs.
Dunn, of Tallahassee, the charming
wife of the Hon. Royal C. Dunn,
who is a favorite here, where she is
so well known. The two sisters
made a pretty picture as they stood
receiving their many guests who
called to pay their Tespects contin
uously during the two hours. Mrs.
Morrow wore a becoming gown of
white cloth trimmed in white satin
and fringe. Mrs. Dunn's gown -of
white Marquisite was attractively
trimmed. For the first hour the
coffee was poured by Mrs. Charles
E. Davis, arid the next hour it was
served by Mrs. Alex Smith. Choc
olate was poured first by Mrs. Ida
Whitlock and later by Mrs. B. B.
McCall. From a beautifully deco
rated table in the Library, small
cakes and confections were served
by Mrs. Claude Morrow, who wore a
gown of white and black, striped
with silk. She was assisted by Mrs.
Vans Pandell, whose dress of lav-
endar crepe de chine was vastly be
coming. A bevy of pretty young
ladies added beauty to the scene as
they passed to and fro among the
guests serving the refreshments.

been received from Mr. W. B. Pow

son received a letter from a friend
in Douglas, Ga.. the other day in
which he said that the booklet
caused him to want to come to

There is no doubt but that the
booklets will prove of inestimable
value to the county, and will be
many times worth their cost
The Enterprise-Recorder also has
in its office a cut of the "All Roads

but that Mr. Mc. will continue to
enjoy the same liberal patronage
that was accorded the old fiim.
