BRIDAL PARTY ENTERTAINED.
The many charming social
events and complimentary enter
tainments for the contracting
parties in the Watson-Erwin
nuptials have given local society
a vim that keeps the social calen
dar crowded with items.
One of the prettiest of these
events was the luncheon given
Tuesday evening by Dr. and Mrs.
M. M. Erwin, assisted by their
popular and gracious daughter,
Miss Dove Erwin, when about
forty intimate friends and rela
tives of the bride and groom-to
be, including the wedding party,
enjoyed the hospitality of the
Erwin home.
This handsome residence, into
which they have lately moved,
was resplendent in the beauty of
carnation decorations, placed to
pretty effect in every nook and
from every point of vantage, the
color scheme being white and
green. Smilax and the white
carnations were lavish contribu
tors.
The maximum of effective
beauty was reached in the dining
room, where from the corners of
the table draped in rich satin I
damask ran cords of tull covered i
in smilax to the chandelier above, j
In the center of the table was a
beautiful vase of carnations, sur-'
rounded hv eiVht rrmdlest inks I
with green candles.
An elaborate six-coi>;rse lunch
eon was well served at small ta
bles in the dining room by Misses
Lizzie Irby, Tr.na Wolf, Hazel

The final course of coffee with
cheese straws and rings tied to
gether in neat little green and
white ribbons was served in the
hallw’ay by Mrs. M. J. Lucas,
who presided over this table,
tastily decorated in the white
and green of mistletoe.

/ some club rooms in honor of two

The dances given by the mem

ways delightful affairs, and are,
looked forward to by society go

functions during the week.

white, holly and white chrysan
themums being used for the

INDEPENDENT’S
BABY CONTEST.
Here is the proposition and the
rules governing the contest:
There is a handsome $25.00
solid gold locket with diamond
setting and solid gold chain, on
display at the Palace Jewelry
store, to be given away Decem
ber 24th, 1904, to the baby boy
or girl under two years of age,
who wins the highest number of
votes as the prettiest and sweet
est baby. Now the baby that is
not pretty is surely sweet, and
if the wee tot be a little cross at
times, beauty must offset this
badness. Fond parents at leasti
are expected to think their ba- j
bies are both sweet and beauti- j
ful, and so they do. But to set- J
tie once for all the claims of the
under two, and put at rest this
rivalry of mothers and fathers,
the Independent has inaugurated j
a contest that is to be determined
by that cherished right, popular j
ballot, and in accordance with;
the following rules:
BABY PRIZE CONTEST RULES.
—Mn Lnhv flint has reach
ed the age of two years Nov. 1,
1904, is eligible to this contest,

: sold, and will only be issued for

i Third—All votes must be sent

jed to canvass the ballots the

ONLY INDIAN
PAPER TO QUIT.
There Are But Five Men Who
Know How to Set the
Cherokee Type.
“The Cherokee Advocate, the
only paper in the world printed
in the Indian language, will
cease publication with its issue
of March 4, 1905, at which time
the tribal government of the
Cherokee Indians will come to
an end,” says a news dispatch
from Guthrie, Oklahoma.
It is published atTalequah and
circulates among the Indians of
the Cherokee Nation. It is
printed half in English and half
in Cherokee. There are living
only five men who are able to set
the Cherokee type for the news
paper. They are T. W. Fore
man, Gail Star, George Wofford,
Joe Sequiche and D. E. Small
wood.
The Advocate’s editor and man
ager never had to worry about
business. The paper is a na
tional institution, the Creek
house of kings passing an appro
priation every year for its sup
port. It is distributed free to
the full blood Cherokees, who
cannot read English. One thou
sand copies are sent to them
weekly. In addition to this there
are hundreds of copies sent out
over the United States as cu
riosities. The paper was est&th
lished in 1844.
