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 tired iu ai] elegant oqstum 0 of cream white crepe de chine, on traine with tiiminiugs .d'ustrjch feathers, pearl or naments Iu her hair and a biuquet of white chrysanthemums. She receiv ed in the chtrntitigly naive manner 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 Fairy iroifnn. tflUmded to tfio numer ous calls made upon them, nml dis p oised favors in n wny quite unheard o! by that genus.

A delightful progressive euchre party was given at the Stuart on thanksgiving evening by two charm ing lady guests of the house, Mis. Setter and Miss Badley, of Alton, Ills. Twelve couples participated iu the game. The ladies taking part were, Misses Gnrfield, McBarron, Whieher, Horrocks, Badley, Misses Lillie and Ella Stuart, and Mesdames Clifton, Miller, Halle, Dubcll, Stuart and Belter. The gentlemen present, were Messrs Dickinson, Love, Mur phy, Peacock, Ifealy, J. J. Henly, Curtright, Solomon, Jelks, Stuart, Livingston, Schrnth, Tompkins and F. and II. Halle, The game was called at 10:30 o’clock, when the distribution of prizes look place. There being a tie between Mrs. Clifton and Mrs. Mil ler, for the first lady's prijto, it was played off, the former winning. The prize was a rare antique vase, filled with the choicest roses. Messrs, Stuart, {.ovp aud Peacock tied for the gentlemen's prize. Mr. Love filially won, the prize being a beautiful ink stand, A young lady visitor was awarded the Indies booby prize, while the con test was'close and sharp between Dr. Tompkins and one or two other gen tlemen, for the gentleman’s booby prize. However, tjiy ptoctor got it. A mysterious lop king package was handed biin when he carefully re moved the wrappings, and amid merry peals of laughter, a monkey jumpedpout, Choice and elaborate refreshments were served durng the evening. The arcade was tastefully and elaborately decorated for the occasion, with vinos and bright evergreens, Thu effect was very pueay. The affair was a most enjoyable one throughout, and we are sure that every lady and gen tleman present >re thankful to Mrs, Seiler and Miss Badley /or sc. delight ful an evenini' 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. CLOTHIN G -AT At the Opera House. That was a delighted audieucc at the opera house on Thursday night. The orowd went to have n good time, and they had it. From the opening to the elosiug, interest never flagged. The various performances were liberally, upptaueled throughout. Mr. Bell 1ms n good combination, aud then his prices are within reach of all. The screen pictures were very much enjoyed by ry\l. The gentleman \"hfl pvqonqtpd the negro was quite 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. Great interest centered * n the distribution yf the prizes. Several were embarrassed by drawing n suck of flour or a ham. The two prin cipal prizes went up fiuo the gallery. Rev. J(. \Y- Carter, colored, held the lucky liumberwhich drew the principal prize, a huudsomc dinner set. The other was a beautiful tea service. nre There will bo two more performances to day, one this nfte*noop anti the Jist tq-flighi. The entertainment is Wo should be thankful that there were no accidents among the many hunting parties that wont out after the birds Thun day. Sumo good bags were made, and the day could not hnvp been more favorable if it had been nmdo especially to plenso the hunters. The know public well we are not chronic “Cost Sell ers,” and when we do say at COST we mean BUSINESS. The Finey Woods and Mitchell, Of course every one will notice the cuts of these two hotels. They the pride of Thomasville. The I’iuey Woods will open 011 next Thursday, the 4th, and the Mitchell jyil! open on «- e |j worth the price of admission, the 10th of January. Nothing that we could say would add anything to the reputation of these two houses. They are kuown fiir iyid widp. Ho guests have ever left Thomasville without carryimr away pleasing recol lections of Mrs. Bower’s kindness. Ilyv namp is a sytiotiyniii f H r everything that is good, comfortable and home like in betel life. Hor guests are one large family, every one receiving all those little attentions and courtesies which are so soothing to a stranger away from home. The outlook (PT hath houses for the present season is most flatteriug. Everyone is glad to see Jim Harda way in town. He is just the same Jim Hardaway of the days agone, full of life, and scattering mirth and sunshine wherever he goes. By the way he J has a new stock qf 5topes, Architect Gunn left yesterday morninj with the complete plants for the new Times building at Americus. His work is of such a high order that his service? (tpe ja demand in various parts of the state. Many handsome buildings are monuments to his skill, mid the Times building promises to he one ot the handsomest. Policeman Coyle a ppeared in a spanking new suit yesterday. He says that General Gordon sent it to him, Well, “Pen” was a mighty strong Gor don man. And now John Dekle will want something, A gentleman who will put up a large hennery near the city early next year requests the hunters in advance to make war on the hawks during their hunts. Owing to the dis turbed condition of the clothing trade this season, we have concluded to sacrifice cur handsome stock of brand new clothing in order to meet competition of any kind, trusting to re gain at some, future time the losses we will naturally sustain by this sacrifice sale of clothing. The public are cor- about] Milledgeviile must have r i:„l|., a^ brought up a flood of loeoHoctiou?: Y lllVltefl tO Call and compare our “PANIC” PRICES with any other in town before buying. We have no fear of the result. Mrs Martha Mabry, 70 years old, dropped dead yesterday morning. She was an old citizen of this countv and living witli relatives in Boston, and apparently enjoying good health up to the time death struck her while standing in the dining room. A number of drummers spent Thanksgiving at the hotels here. They were too far away from their own homes, hut did what was next best, come to Thomasville. Mr. C. B. Townsend was iu the city yesterday. He failed to come in on time to spend Thanksgiving, and so passed the day at Lake City, Florida. The legislature met in Milledgeviile on Thursday for the first lime in nin ny years. To the old timer*, who were present, the old familiar s -.cues The body went to Milledgeviile to participate in the laying of the corner stone of the Girl’s High School, char, tered and endorsed by the Mate. - President Mitchell, of the Senate, was among the distinguished speakers at the laying ofthe corner stone o/lhe College for girls at Milledgeviile, Thursdai, Bishop Beckwith's fuueral was largely attended in Atlanta.
