matters of old business were disposed
of.
Mrs. Willis B. Powell was program
chairman for the afternoon and in
vited Mr. B. M. Drake, the popular
and efficient county agent, to give
a talk on tree planting. This was
very, very interesting and Mr. Drake
illustrated his talk with stereopticon
views.
Mrs. H. M. Griffin, of Griffin, and

itors on this occasion.
In balloting for the prettiest flow

BIRTHDAY DINNER
On Sunday, Feb. 4th, Miss Bertha
Thornton, of Forsyth, was hostess at
a birthday dinner in honor of her
father, George W. Thornton, at their
home near that city.
It was planned as a complete sur
prise to both her father and her
mother, but letters coming in accept
ing the invitation to dine gave them
their first hint of her plans.
In this attractive country home
old fashioned flowers, narcissi, jon
quils, hyacinths, as well as potted
plants, made festive the occasion
and there was an atmosphere of joy
ousness. The birthday cake, an old
fashioned poundcake, iced and top
ped with cocoanut, adorned the cen
ter of the table, and as the guests
gathered around the festive board,
dainty and delicious foods were serv
ed. During the time the history of
the Thornton family was given by
one of the members, from the com
ing of the first emigrant to Ameri
ca in the 1640’s down to the present
time.
After dinner as the family sat in
the large living room, childish es
capades that brought back happy
memories, and personal stories rem
iniscent of other days, were told by
the various guests present.
A relic of unusual family interest
was displayed by Mr. Thornton. It
was a razor hone, a symmetrical bar
of petrified hickory wood, nearly
two hundred years old, and now in
his possession. It belonged formerly
to his father, George W. Thornton,
Sr., and came down to the latter
from his grandfather, Presley Thorn
ton, of Pittsylvania County, Virginia,
a soldier of the Revolution, born
1736.
Several family groups of pictures
were made during the afternoon.
Just before the guests departed the
hostess brought in a heavily laden
tray of good things to eat, and again
there were reminders of the old time
southern hospitality, when entertain
ing was a practiced art, and that it
still exists in the land of Dixie as
in the days of yore.
Besides the members of th? im
mediate family, Mr. and Mrs. G. W.
Thornton, the hostess, and Slaton
Thornton, the guests present were:
Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Andrews and Mr.
and Mrs. Paul B. Andrews, of At
lanta; Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Winn, of
Harlem, Ga.; Mr. and Mrs. C. W.
Buchanan, Mrs. John E. Lane, L.
W. Thornton, Miss Willie Thornton
and Miss Beatrice Thornton, of
Jackson; and George Lindsey Thorn
ton, of Thompson.
W. C. T. U. MEETING
Mrs. M. C. Johnson was a graci
ous hostess to the members of the
Woman’s Christian Temperance Un
ion Friday of last week in regular
session with fine attendance con
sidering sickness among the mem
bers. After the necessary business
the meeting was turned over to the
program chairman, Mrs. Johnson.
As February is Frances Willard
Memorial month a part of the pro
gram was devoted to her memory. A
very appropriate devotional was
given by Mrs. Leila Spencer, using
marked verses from Miss Willard’s
own Bible, which was followed by a
beautiful tribute to her iife of deep
consecration to God which was the
motive power and dynamic force of
this gifted intellectual educator as
she accepted her work in the tem
perance cause as a divine call.
The “Declaration of Principles,”
written by Miss Willard in the be
ginning of the organization in 1874
was read by Mrs. T. B. Roberts. The
late “Declaration of Principles,” such
as is adopted at every national con
vention, which is the platform for
activities, was read by members in
sections. “Busy women and the W.
C. T. U.” was a fine paper read by
Mrs. R. B. Harrison.
Under current events Mrs. John
son gave a graphic report of Chica
go’s experience with “personal liber
ty” at Christmas time. She quoted
from reports in Chicago papers which
showed that conditions in less than
a month after repeal were as bad as
in old saloon days.
True to old-time records the tavern
saloon keepers defied city’s closing
hours, sold all Saturday night and
Sunday before Christmas which
causes an awful condition of disor
der from drunks, fightings and kill
ings. Even wet leaders are decrying
the situation. One is quoted by the
press as saying: “Unless the politi
cians are arrested in their present
efforts, we will be helpless to stop
the saloon. Already there are 8,000
taverns in Chicago and the taverns
are saloons in every important char
acteristic. Less than a month after
repeal we have seen the bginning of
the brawling, maudlin outbreaks
characteristic of the old saloon days.”
And this is the beginning of the era
of “true temperance” promised by
the repealists.
During the social time the hostess
served a sweet course and hot tea,
assisted by Mrs. T. B. Roberts.
The Baptist pastor's wife, Mrs. R.
B. Harrison, was an appreciated new
member. Mrs. R. P. Etheridge had
previously joined. We are proud of
our pastors' wives. Also we gladly
received Mrs. John McDonald back
into our membership.
