There were hemstitched, embroidered, and some with crocheting on them. All were beautiful. Lovely refreshments were served, the color scheme being white and yellow.

Elbert, son of Mr. and Mrs. J.E. BUCHANAN, Gratton, received injury to his eye, on last Saturday afternoon, which may result in the loss of sight. He, with a party of young people, were playing croquet on the lawn of Mr. P.G. BAUGH, when by some means he received a blow in the eye from his mallet. He was taken to Bluefield on Monday to the sanitarium. The physicians said there is a possibility of saving the eye if no complications set up. The accident is the more regrettable from the face that he had only one eye, having lost the other some years ago.
