Mrs. J. W. Spears Entertains
Wednesday evening from 8:30 to
12 o’clock Mrs. J. W. Spears en-
tertained a number of friends.
This social event was up to the
high standard previously set by
Mrs. Spears as a hostess.
The pretty home was lavishly
decorated with flowers and ferns.
The color scheme of pink and
white was carried out throughout
the house. The guests were met
at the door by the hostess, con-
ducted to the dining room where
she served a brimming icy cup of
pink and white punch.
After the flutter and flurry of
arrival tables were arranged for
progressive 42. The partners for
which were found in an unique
manner. On the buffet, banked
with ferns and flowers reposed a
number of innocent looking spools
of thread the thread of each reach-
ing across the wall, tangled and
intertangled and seemingly hope-
lessly lost in the meshes of a huge
spider web on the wall. Each
guest was given a spool to untan-
gle and wind, after a laborious
half hour—and amid gales of
laughter and fun the boys at last
found at the end of the string the
name of the girl selected as his
partner. The girls found at the
end of their string a witty verse,
relating to their partner. The
scores cards carried out the color
scheme—on the white card blos-
somed a pink, American beauty
rose.
Miss Sophia Sporer won high
score and the ladies prize, a beau-
tiful white fan. Mr. Jim Risley
won the gentleman's prize, a solid
gold stick pin. .
Music was rendered throughout
the evening. Several piano selec-
tions by Misses Maimie Huckabay
and Lura Douglass were enjoyed.
Miss Weir, who is a guest of
Mrs. J. Hardin Mallaid, gave a
number of vocal selectons that
gengntea *ir ws^r 'The Tact
song given by her was “Good
Night,”
Refreshments of fruited banana
split and marshmallow cakes, both
in the color scheme were served
by the hostess.
Those who enjoyed the occasion
were Misses Sophia Sporer, Weir,
Lura Douglass, Ava Cope, Lou
Bigham, Grundy Davis, Louise
McClure, Ray Meadows, Tommie

Bell and Messrs. Putnam, Key,

husband with affectionate love,
she helped him to fight life’s bat-
tles by always being ready to per-
form her kind and sincere work.
She did her duty as a mother in
trying to raise her children with
the tenderest care. She endeavor-
ed to give her children a religious
training as she was a devoted
member of the Methodist church
ever since her girlhood.
I was personally acquainted with
the deceased and found her always
looking on the bright side of all
positions. The clouds of evil
would gather above her, the high-
est waves of disappointment would
dash against her, the thunders of
trouble would roll over her, the
gale of temptations would surge
and blow upon her, the nights of
grief and agony would darken
around her, but above all these she
had a gleaming star of hope- that
led her forward in performing
God’s deeds in this mortal world.
This brave and tender woman
was the sympathizing friend of all
heroic souls. She climbed the
mountain heighths and left all evil
superstitions far below, while on
her forehead fell the golden dawn-
ing of a grander day. Through
the last few days of her life she
saw her fate sealed, which thrust
her from the tide of this world
into the visible presence of death.
Through days of physical weak-
ness, through weeks of agony, with
clear sight and with courage she
looked into her open grave. What
blight and ruin met her anguished
eye, whose lips may tell—what a
brilliant heart was broken, what a
bitter rending of household ties!
Behind her a host of anxious
friends, the husband of her youth
whose happiness lay in hers, a
group of h»art broke children
anxiously watching her fate—and
yet her soul was not shaken.
Like our mighty Savior she
fought her own battles alone and
out wistfully upon the ocean’s
changing wonders, on its fair
sails, on its restless waves rolling
shoreword to break and die be-
neath the noonday sun; on the
red clouds of evening. Arching
low to the horizon; on the serene
and shining pathway of the star.
Let us think that Ijer dying eyes
read a mystic meaning which only
the rapt and parting soul may
know.
Let us believe that in the silence
of the reading world she heard
great waves breaking on a further
shore and felt already upon her
wasted brow the breath of an
eternal morning.

Tom M. Marks. E. E. Youngi
Robt. W. Murphy. Committee.
Mrs. W. P. Caldwell.
A crowd of weeping friends has
been called together again at
Groveland to witness one of those
sorrowful scenes that we all have
to pass through, it was the death
of one of our devoted members.
On May 23, 1912, at 8 P. M.
Mrs. Fannie E. Caldwell passed
from this sin cursed earth to an
endless and immortal world. She
was the wife of Mr. W. P. Cald-
well, she formerly was Miss Fan-
nie E. Reed, and was born at Buf-
falo, Leon county, Aug. 28. 1858,
where she spent her childhood
days and was reared to woman-
hood.
She was married there to Mr.
Caldwell on Dec. 29, 1881, whom
she lived happily with for about
30 years.
On Nov. 15, 1900, they moved to
Jack county here at Groveland
where she resided until the death
angsl called her away.
She was the mother of ^ two
daughters and five sons, all living.
They are: Bertha, Lilly, John,
Tom, Mart, Will and Lee. As a
daughter she was always willing
to perform her duties as a child
in the home, she was carefully
reared in. After her marriage she
was always found supporting her
God. With unfaltering front she
faced death. With unfailing ten
derness she took leave of life.
Above the demoniac bliss of her
suffering she heard the mighty
voice of God.
With simple resignation she
bowed to the divine decree. She
died while womanhood’s evening
sun was gradually sinking in the
western horizon. She had passed
on life’s highway that stone that
marks the highest point, and being
weary for a moment, lay down by
the wayside, and using her burdens
for a pillow, fell into that dream-
less sleep that kisses down her eye-
lids still. While yet in love with
life and rapturned with the world
she passed into silence and pa-
thetic dust.
Yet after all may bo best, just
in the happiest sunniest hour of
lif’s ending voyage while angry
winds are kissing every sail, and
in an instant hear billows roar
above a sunken ship. For, whether
in mid sea or among the breakers
of a farther shore, a wreck at last
must mark the end of each and all,
And every life, no matter if^ts
every hour is blest with love and
every moment is jeweled with a
joy, will at its close become a
tragedy as sad, deep and dark as
can be woven from the waff and
woof of mystery and death.
Life is a narrow vale between
the cold and barren peaks of two
eternities. We strive in vain to
look beyond its heights. We cry
aloud and the only answer is the
echo of our wailing cry. From
the voiceless of the unreplying
dead comes not a word but in the
night of death, hope sees a star
and listening love can hear the
rustle of a wing.
Let us think of the deceased
with a wan fevered face, tendeily
lifted to the .cooling breeze of an
approaching eternity. She looked
