Wise people of the past as well as present age inveigh against imprudent eating and advanced physicians chime in with the pro saic statement that many people “did their graces with their teeth.” Wherefore, it follows as a mat ter of reason that all temptations to overload the stomach are in sidious invitations to death. The banquet Friday night was a success from a gastronomic point of view, as might have been expected from the reputation of the Blue Goose restaurant, under the management. of Mr. Bolton, famed as a caterer. But what was the powerful magnet that drew those wise men from their peaceful and happy firesides ? Surely an appeal to something higher than to the grat ification of a voracious appetite. Surely they all had plenty at home this good Christmas season, food, dainty and wholesome, pre pared by loving hands. Happily, at this banquet lawyers, judges, county officers soon to be inaugurated, and others soon to retire, and this general gathering was well designed for it was non-exclusive, broad in its scope, and based on an assump tion that the attendants were all hungry and entitled to a square meal. There was one fine man present whom some predict will be our congressman at an early date, who surely did not travel 12 .miles at night to get a square meal when this narrator knows that people con, spent Friday in Atlanta with friends. Mrs. G. G.. Greer, of Luella, was shopping in Griffin Saturday. Misses Bertha Hightower and Lucy Bush, of Barnesville, were visitors to Griffin Saturday, Mrs. H. L.

What if it did seem a solemn occasion? What if it was unb/j for its dolefulness? Times have changed and customs with them. Some may sfty we are in the midst of a Pharisaic era which de bars anything that brings to mind the drinking of a toast, although the present day beverage is cold water or Bryan’s grape juice. Any way, the occasion was one of sol emn silence which broke but once, and that was at the outset when grace was said. At the end, by a tacit instinc tive concert of action the guests rose one by one and departed, with expressions on their faces. Dry grins and chagrins from those who spent sleepless hours fram ing speeches for the occasion. Immediately thereafter the Blue Goose dining roont whs indeed “a banquet hall deserted, the gar lands dead, the guests had fled, and all but me departed,” and I brought up the tail end of the solemn procession. e -~ I Market Reports | (Over Pursley, Slaton & Co.’s Private Wire.)
