Though the game was new the guests easily learned for at each table they were told the whys and wherefores of the crame. From the gay time the guests had over the panic table, one is led to think that it will take the place of the popular rook game. The tal ly cards served both for keeping score and for souvenirs. At the close of the games, Miss Hollingsworth was presented with a handsome cut glass powder stand, with silver top by the hostess.

The punch bowl was decorated in bunches of delicious ripe grapes. The porch was lit by rows of rain bow colored Japanese lanterns. Soon cards and pencils were dis tributed, and great enthusiasm was aroused when the girls were told that since it was leap year that they' were to make the dates. Many of the boys bad all of their dates filled, and some young men were popular enough to have two young ladies to escort them about. This game proved very interesting and enter taining.

We were called to attend the fun eral of another of our dear old la dies last Saturday. Miss Fannie Lanier passed away Friday morning at seven o'clock. Very peacefully she fell asleep after a short illness. Was conscious to the last. Talked of her garden the day before her death, and said since she had not been able to look after it the grass had taken possession of it. She has been feeble for some time, though not confined constantly to her room. Always took an active interest in all that was going on around. All who knew her, loved her. She was a gentle, lovely Christian lady, and has gone to meet the loved ones, who have waited so long for her coming. She leaves two sisters, Mrs. Mat Shaw and Miss Melvie Lanier to mourn her loss, and many nieces and nephews. She will be greatly missed by them. We are sorry to hear of Miss Mary Townes being 'sick wi'.h ma laria and chills. She is able to be up again. Mrs. Milton Darker has been complaining, but is better. Mrs. J. M. W. Glover lias been quite sick, but is improving some, and we hope will soon be herself again. Mrs. Minnie Lanham gave a so cial last Friday night to her sisters, who are visiting her, and they furnished most beautiful music for the enjoyment of the guests. Of course there were delicious refresh ments as well as music. We all know the Lyon family are specially gifted musicians, and would love so much to hear them all together once again. We hope Miss Daisy has been heard from since the floods, and she is all right. Hardys. WILL MY CHILD TAKE DR. KING'S NEW DISCOVERY? This best answer is Dr. King's New Discovery ie itself.
