MRS. DORSEY ENTERTAINS.
Mrs. Robt. Dorsey entertained
a few friends Saturday afternoon
in honor of Mrs. Isaac Nicholson
of Baltimore and Miss Page An
drews of Virginia, two charming
Southern women who have been
visiting Mrs. R. T. Robertson.
The affair was wholly informal
and many pleasant courtesies ex
changed during the afternoon. A
dainty lunch was served by the
hostess’ assistants and helped
greatly to make the already
pleasant afternoon pass all tot
rapidly.
LINEN SHOWER SATURDAY.
Mrs. Geo. M. Sink entertained
with a linen shower Saturday
afternoon in honor of Miss Claire
Johnson, who is to be married
next Tuesday to Mr. 0. D. Hawr
of Little Rock. It was a pretty
compliment cleverly bestowed
upon this fair young bride-to-be,
who has always been one of
Newport’s most popular young
ladies.
The pretty home on Elm street
was made more beautiful by’ the
ainty decorations of flowers and
3d ribbons that were every
3 in evidence,
handsome reception toi
lets worn by the hostess and her
receiving pai i>y composed of
Misses Pearl Martin, Josephine
Phillips and Bessie T. J. Watson,
added brilliance and beauty to
the happy event. A musical
program of several* selections
was rendered during the after
noon.
A large umbrella had been
hung in the room in which the
many gifts were placed, and
these were showered upon the
recipient when all had arrived.
The gifts were many and beauti
ful, among the number being
two dozen handkerchiefs, twenty
two towels, four dozen table
napkins of finest quality, besides
beautiful pieces of hand-em
broidered and Mexican drawn
work.
An elegant course luncheon
was served by the hostess and
her assistants which closed one
of the most elegant social func
tions of the spring season.
WORKING UP
BALL TEAM.
The need of a local ball team
to make the summer at all inter
esting to Newport fans has long
been recognized and there is now
a movement on foot to organize
a stock company for the support
of a home team.
R. T. Simmons has headed the
list with a liberal subscription
; and a large number of business
men have signified tneir willing
ness to assist the movement in a
financial way.
A good ball team would not
only prove a diversion, but would
arouse and foster public spirit
and pride. Such an awakening
would prove of incalculable bene
j fit to the business interests and
; future of our city and any enter
prise or sport which would work
toward this end, is deserving of
the hearty encouragement of our
! people.
A meeting of those who will
assis. in the organization of such
a stock company is called for
Tuesday evening at 7:30 o’clock
at the city hall and our citizens
are urged to manifest their ap
proval and support by attend
ance.

There is a big difference be
tween the cost of making a first
class sewing machine, embodying
the best materials and workman
ship, and one which is made in the
cheapest manner. The buyer of
the cheap machine soon pays the
difference of price in the constant
cost for repairs, to say nothing of
its annoying inefficiency.
