BRILLIANT RECEPTION.
To Mr. and Mrs. J. Hansell Mer
rill, at McMinnville, Tenn.
Among the happy events connect
ed with the social life of McMinn
ville, the elegant reception at the
home of Mrs. M. O. Lewis, on Friday
night last, may be truly called the
most delightful. It was a gathering
of invited friends to welcome to ‘-Riv
or Cliff’ Mr, and Mrs. J. If. Merrill,
of Thomasvillc, Ga. The well known
popularity of Mrs Merrill, nee Tarwa-
tcr, who has been known hero and
loved from childhood, elicited a greet
iug ot congratulations and good wish
es that were uxprevive, of earnestness
and sincerity. The hours of receiv
ing were from 7 to 12. Never did
“River CliB” present a more nttrac
tive appearance, the brilliantly light
ed house ami grounds seeding to speak
ft welcome to appr-mcliing guests. At
the'entmuce n gu-gous arrangements
of cut flowers met the eye, while pot
ted plants ain| floral designs of oxqai
site taste scattered ubui|t tlye bouse,
presented u*i ever changing scene of
heaqty and color, The bride was at

so peculiar to herself, and friend vied
with friend in wishing for herself and
happy groom all joy and happiness.
At nine o’clock a summons to the cjin
ner room diislo e i tr view a scene
that words fail to truthfully portray.
Alhanrpiet “fit for the gods" was
temptingly displayed. The artistic
arrangement of ovory delicacy told
that the “presiding genius” had sptr
od no pains cither in abundance or
variety, iu this “fea-t. of good thipgj.V

time flew rapidly. Recitations by
Misses Maggie Reed and Leua Wo

teners. Few \| jre aware when the
appoluted time (or leaving name, so
pleasantly and swiftly had the mo

A Surprise.
Marshal Spair will have causes to re
member thanksgiving day, in 1890.
He had the misfortune a few days
since to lose a valuable horse. Mayor
Hopkins, to gether with a number of
other gentleman who appreciate the
Marshal’s devotion to the interest of
the town, made up a purse and bought
a splendid animal to replace the one
lost. The Mayor sent for the Marshal
to com; around on Broad street
Thursday miming. O; course lie
was soon on hand, fie found the
Mayor holding the halter attached to
a fine animal.
“In behalf of and in the name of
the citizens of Thomasvillc,” said the
Mavor, “I present you this animal.”
Marshal Spair was completely non
plussed, as he had not the slightest in
tmiation of the affair. His reply, how
ever, was characteristic ot the man.
“Whenever you wa-;t me, just call
for me,’ 1 he said; and lie meant it; for
whyrever and whenever John Spa’r is
needed, he is always ready to resp ir.d.
It is needless to say that Mr. Spa’r
appr,cattd very keenly the generosity
of his friends, and that he will long
cherish .he inc di nt as an evider.ee of
the esteem of the people whom he
lias served sq long and so faithfully.
All the hotels and boarding houses
had fine spreads on thanksgiving.
The Gull and Clarendon got up splen
did dinners, while Charley Stuart ex
celled oimself, His bill ot fare was
full, varied and elaborate. Many pri
vate dinings occurred, the tables be
ing supplied with the lies.', in the mar
ker.

aud then his prices are within reach
of all. The screen pictures were very
much enjoyed by ry\l. The gentleman

good. His brother Bfil, however
appeared to hy rather a hard ease.
Hut as ho was in jail it was all right.
TI10 musio was very good and the
songs also.

Woods will open 011 next Thursday,

we could say would add anything to
the reputation of these two houses.
They are kuown fiir iyid widp. Ho

kind, trusting to re
gain at some, future
time the losses we
will naturally sustain
by this sacrifice sale
