one of the best and most popular citizens of Thomaston, Upson County. Mr. White 
was on a short visit to his niece, Mrs. J. B. Brown.

~The new residence of Mr. D. J. Sanders is fast assuming shape, and as a model 
of architecture is one of the handsomest yet erected in McDonough. It is two 
stories, and Mr. Samuel B. Baker has charge of the construction.

~The people of Jackson are so thoroughly appreciative of Mrs. J. C. 
Blasingame’s rare talents that quite a large party, headed by that prince of

cleverest of citizens, and his friends regret to give him up, but wish him much 
prosperity in his new home.

~Mrs. J. C. Blasingame of Jackson will assist Miss Annie Reese in her 
entertainment the 21st of December. Miss Blasingame will entertain the audience 
with several vocal selections and recitations. She is a vocalist of superior 
talent and a natural elocutionist, who has had the best advantage, and the 
audience’s expectations will be fully realized as to “something good” when she 
appears before the McDonough public.

~The old year 1896 will close with quite a number of social features. The Band 
entertainment assisted by Miss Annie Mooney’s Orchestra will be an attractive

James of this city, and others, the 21st of the month, is also another 
important event, and looked forward with much pleasure, while turkey dinners, 
parties and the masquerade will wind up the sounds of pleasure. Now ain’t 
McDonough in the swim?
