Wills By Her Children (By A Friend) One of the sweetest and most gracious gestures of the fall season, was the luncheon given by Mrs. Hoke Gurley on Saturday, honoring her mother, Mrs. J. A. Wills, on her birthday. Mrs. Gurley was assisted in en tertaining by her sisters, Mrs. Nat Long and Mrs. W. J. Culberson. This affair was planned and came as a surprise to Mrs. Wills. Her out of-town children had gathered, as is often their custom, for a week at home, and Mr. Culberson, carry ing out his part of the plan, sug gested to Mrs. Wills that he would like to visit her farm and some oth ers around town, and would be pleased to have her go with him. Being an old country girl, and hav ing spent the early years of her married life on the farm, she im mediately accepted his invitation. Their absence from the house gave the daughters a chance to complete already advanced plans for the love ly meal to be served. By the time Mrs. Wills arrived from her trip to the country-side, a group of grandchildren, friends and neighbors had assembled in the living room, and greeted her with “Happy Birthday to You.” Vs ♦ Mrs. Wills, who has the ability to ,•2 * V easily adjust herself to her environ ment was at once responsive, and lent herself to the occasion, and greeted everyone with that deep and sincere welcome, which is sot naturally hers. ' ' .'n When greetings had been spoken, she was escorted to the long dining table, which was laid with an emr broidered linen cloth, and with her girlhood friend, Miss Dora Wilhite at her side, her sisters, and those nearest and dearest to her, her chil dren, around her with friends and neighbors seated at card tables, the entire party was served a delicious meal. After lunch, the family and guests gathered in the living room, where the honoree was presented a beauti ful birthday cake, and many other attractive gifts, together with con gratulations and good wishes for many more years of useful and fruitful living. Accepting the Christian 'way of life in early life, Mrs. Wills has (for many years been an outstanding in fluence for good in the religious and church life of Jefferson. For a number of yeari, many girls com ing to Jefferson to teach in the schools, found a home in her house, and a haven in her motherly care and protection. These girls are scat tered over a wide area of the state, but they never let an opportunity pass to come by to see her a few moments, in appreciation of the many kindnesses shown them in other years. And so it is, that through the years, Mrs. Wills has grown into what she is today, one of God’s noble women—deeply endeared to those who know her, keenly alert to the joys and of folk in this little city which she loves So dearly. She remains interested in topics of country-wide and national importance, and being interested, she is always interesting. Mrs. Wills has three living chil dren, 11 grandchildren, and 9 great grandchildren, who do “Rise up and call her blessed.” Covers at the luncheon were laid for Mrs. Wills, her sisters, Mrs. L.
