Mrs. Delilah Pearson, the wife of James Pearson, deceased, who gave Coffee County fifty acres of lar.d on which now stands the county court house, and J.he City of Douglas was 81 years of age last Tuesday, the 25, and her son, D. J. Pearson, who re sides four miles south of Pearson, gave in her honor, and in thanks to God for giving his mother long life and health a birthday dinner. Invitations to the children ar.d rel atives and friends were sent out, and when the day came the crowd also came with it, and in that crowd of people were 150 of her relatives. So, we may say it was a birthday dinner, celebration and family reunion. Mr. Daniel Gaskin, of this plaofe, her brother, was among those who went out to the reunion, and he reports a most enjoyable occasion. A long table, set int he yard under the trees, groaning under the weight of all the eatables that go to make an old fash ioned dinner complete, was the main subject of discussion among 250 or 300 men, women and childrens, who did the subject full justice, but fell back from the attack unable t» dear the deck. In the afternoon, when the hour 6f departure arrived, there were many wishes for other returns of the birthday of this grand old lady, who can well be classed with the lady pioneers of the county. May God ir. His mercy and love be with her all along the few more years c-f her jour ney with a safe ending of life’s voy age. The writer regrets that the of ficial duties of his office prevented his attendance. FARMERS You Can Pay Your Subscriptions Without Money.
