Fair Play, Jan. 6.-Special: Hur
rah for Fair Play during the holi
days! One would think that a dis
charge of dynamite had taken place
near our little town, considering the
boom on which it has been for the
past ten days. We have had" wed
dings, Christmas treeB, at homes,
hunting pari ic;;, dinner parties, tacky
parties, and all other kinds of par
ties. ' This unusual and overwhe'n -
lng gayety and jollity makes UH all
open our eyes in astonishment, and
ask ourselves why we ever submitted
to the former dull xtmosphere which
reigned over our thrifty little town
and community. Let us try hereaf
ter, dear friends, to always have one
like this has been, and not fall back
into our old way of celebrating
Christmas.
One of the most enjoyable occa
sions of the past week was a dinner
party given by M.r and Mrs. W. L.
DobbB, in honor of Mr. and Mrs. John
R. Ford, of Lavonla. Mrs. Ford ls
pleasantly remembered here as Miss
Nannie Barton. Mr. and Mrs. Dobbs
have been residents of our little city
only a year, but every day we aro
more strongly convinced than ever
that we have treasures in them. I
am sure that those persons who were
fortunate enough to be present on
this happy occasion are willing to
endorse this statement. I ?ic charm
ing host a:.d his wife have a big
hume and tdg hearts, into both of
Mm Ich they wel.vjmed heartily their
lilends. Actor spenling a few hours
In pleasant chats and village gossip,
the' guestB were invited Into the
beautiful and spacious dining room,
where they found tho tab!? loaded
down with good things. Jt was pre
sided over by the host and hostess
l? a moBt charming manner. The
dinner consisted of a number of elab
orate courses, all of which were
served In a most fetching style. The
time after the sumptuous meal pass
ed all too quickly, and there was not
one but regretted when the time
came to say "Au Revoir."
^^.TulluB Marett and his sisters,
BJfeses Anna and Pearl, visited some
of the latter's college friends In An
derson last week.
Mrs. Dr. J. R. Holler was the de
lightful hostess to a number of Fair
Play's aged ladles on last Wednes
day. So, we see, that Christraas and
New Year did not bring pleasure to
the young alone. Mrs. Heller do
serves a great deal of pralso for re
membering these old people in this
delightful manner. I am afraid that
n\ost of us in this age are so much
engrossed with our own Joy and plea
sures that we are prone to forget
them too often. Let ps try to profit
by this admirable woman's example,
and see that they, too, have suitable
diversions during the few remaining
years that they have with us.
Miss Janie Wyley has been spend
ing a few days with Mr. and Mrs. M.
D. Slrlbllng.
On last Saturday, during Christ
mas, Ebenezer Strlbllng, who ls the
sole occupant of the "cottage by the
mill," was stormed about iO o'clock
by a multitudo of his nieces and ne
phews, who brought with them mer
ry Christi eas greetings. At first
sight of this happy throng of people
Mr. StrlbHng's countenance was seen
to fall, but after examining more
closely tho baggage and belongings
of each individual the crest-iallen
look disappeared, for their traveling
bags were found to bo scarce and
small, while their dinner baskets
wL:o found to be plentiful abd full.
mf," Strlbllng has been In much
higher spirits since this visit, and
that former forlorn and forsaken
expression, which haunted so many
of us. has entirely disappeared. Como
again, jolly people, with your merry
Christmas cheer.
Clinton Harria, of tho South Caro
lina Military Academy, Charleston,
returned last Thursday to resume his
work at that place.
Misses Pearl Marett and Louise
Sheldon, of Greenville Female Col
lege, and College for Women rerpec
tively. have returned to their schools
to take up their work. It ls with
great sorrow that we see our jolly
young students depart again, for
they leave behind them a great emp
tiness in our pantries as well as In
our hearts.
Mr. and Mrs. M. D. Strlbling en
tertained a number of young people
at a watoh party in theit-dellghtful
home on Hickory Hill Tuesday even
ing, the Hist, 'me drawing rooms
and' dining room were elaborately
and artistically decorated with holly,
cedar and cut flowers. After many
Interesting and amusing games and
contests, the charming hostess pre
sented a big, brightly colored ball
to the young men, and bade them
knock down the hearts which were
pinned upon the wall. It was very
amusing to see these young gallants
display their wonderful feats of base
ball in this manner. Upon each
heart was written the name of some
young lady, whom the young gentle
man was happily allowed to conduct'
to the dining room, where delicious
and dainty refreshments were served.
A short while after the young people
had returned from the dining room,
they were startled by the excessive
ringing ot bells, blowing of whistles,
and beating of anvils. The old year
had passed away and the New Year
had begun. This sad fact was ap
palling to them, but a still more ap
palling one was the fact that lt was
time to go home. Mr. and Mrs. <
Strlbling certainly proved themselves
an admirable host and hostess, and
lt ls the hearty wish of all who were,
present on this delightful occasion,
that it will not be long before they
will be allowed the happy privilege
of attending such another party
there.
Frank Sheldon, of Westminster,
was at home with his parents during
the Christmas holidays.

his church, to join in prayerful co
operation with him, and to try to
make this the best year the Jones
Chapel ha? ever known.
It was with great pleasure that we

"Ye old time tacky^ party ; thou
nover coaseth to bring laughter and
pleasure to the hearts of the young."
The one given at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. L. A. Marett on Tuesdny
evening, the 31st, was not an excep

merry-making occasion, Mles Desale
Mayes was tho fortunate recipient

fetching costume, suitable to tho oc

Fever Sores.
Fever sores and old chronic sores
should not be healed entirely, but
should be kept in healthy condition.
This can bo done by applying Cham
berlain's Salvo. This salve has no
superior for this purpose. It ls also
most excellent for chapped hands,
sore nipples, burns and diseases of
the skin. For salo by J. W. Bell?
