THE RESE ARCH CLUB ENTERTAINS
The Research Club, the young
est of the women's clubs of the
town, gave a reception on last
Friday evening to the husbands
of the members, and a few invit
ed guests at the home of Mrs. J.
A. Long.
The entertainment consisted of
music, reading and recitations,
and it would be unjust to each
were we to try to tell of the mar
velous manner in which each one
acquitted themselves, for as one
followed the other we thought
the last was the best. But we
will say that really and truly
each did themselves proud.
The President, Mrs E. C.
Dunlap, welcomed the visitors in
a short well chosen address of
welcome, which was followed by
music, and readings and recita
tions, closing by, what we believe
we will be pardoned for saying
was the best of all, an original
poem by Mrs. J. A. Long. It
seemed that; the muse was espec
ially kind to her in preparing
this poem for in beautifully sweet
sentiment, though with an inkling
of sarcasm occasionally, she told
of the charms, of "our husbands''
and then paying her respects to
the lawyers, the bankers, yes,
and The Courier, she ended
amidst the outburst of applause
coining from every one present.
After the intellectual man had
been treated to such a feast as
we rarely enjoy we were asked
into the dining room and filled
the inner man with dainties no
less refreshing.
Note you, that this was indeed
and in truth an entertainment by
the ladies for the benefit of the
men, and no man had a word to
say during the entire program
save what he said on the side.
The encores were many,
though there was no response .
In fact one of the husbands was
mean enough to say that we must
give each and every one a round
ing sounding encore, for he had
had his instructions before leav
ing home. But of course, we
know he was simply trying to
even up because he had not had
a chance to get off his little toast
which he had prepared.
The eyenin was thoroughly
enjoyed by the husbands and at
an informal meeting held by said
husbands they decided to return !

evening. Yes, just as soon as the

that club house on that beautiful
site on the corner of Main and
Depot Streets, they are going to
entertain the Research Club.

to hear of the death of little Miss
Nannie Lunsford daughter of Mr.

occurred on Jast Thursday night,
which was the result of an awful
bum. Nannie and her little brother
Thomas were in the house,' while
the other members of the family
were out in the stripping room and
her clothes ignited by aome cause,
and before they could get to her
rescue and extinguish the blaze
har clothes had all burned off ex
cept what was around her should
ers. Nannie was about five years
old and was a sprightly little girl.
She was buried at her grandfather
Lunsford's near Surl-on last Sat
urday. Rev. E. Y. Usry filled his regu
lar appointment at Antioch on last
Saturday and Sunday and preached
two good aermons.
