On Tuesday night of last week
Aug. 4, a large number of invited
guests assembled at the hospit
able home of Mr. and Mrs. Will
Newsome, and were entertained
by the host and hostess on the
lawn from 0 to 12, the guest of
honor being Miss Hatchett of
Comanche. The reception *hs
an informal affair but was attend-
ed by about sixty of our best and
ipost influential citizens. It was
also the first entertainment giv-
en by this young couple, and
their success was most complete,
as all who attended pronounced
it one or the most enjoyable oc-
casions of the season.—Hico

Members of the Methodist
Church and friends of Presiding
EldeTChapman and family were
entertained at the district par-
sonage last night with a dime

When the guests ‘had assembled
a musical program was render-
ed, after which the presiding el-
der and his estimable wife were
prevailed upon under some pre-
text or other to kneel in the cen-
ter of the room. When they did
so a box 4»f dimes were over-
' over their heads and
silver sliowered about the sur-
prised couple. When gathered
together again the coins amount-
ed to a neat little sum of money,
which went as a present to the
