<3 A GEORGIA THANKSGIVING DAY t
l £>
C " ■ - FLORIDA
—BY MRS. E. A. GRAY.--
In whatever direction 0110 may
travel these days, he will liud rep
resentatives fioin the Empire Slate
of the South and it they cannot be
called cleanuisli when they chance
to liud each other out of their na
tive state, they are none the less
drawn together by this common
tie and soon forget they were ever
strangers. Aud no small number
of Georgians are to be found in
Florida and have adopted it as
their home. Not always for the
sake of the milder climate but for
the natural productions and fer
tility of the soil, aud the superior
advantages open for other business
pursuits.
Micauopy is next to the oldest
town in the state, situated near
the middle, aud was once a line
orange growing place, from which
large quantities of the Golden fruit
were shipped every year, but
since that memorable freeze, the
orauge culture in this section is
no longer the chief business. But
there are many small orchards
while in the vast Helds on every
side, vegetables of every sort
growing nearly the whole year
round.
Among the residents of this
“garden-spot” in the Laud of
Flowers, is Mr. J. E. Thrasher, a
native Georgian who came to Flor
ida some years ago and accideu
tally met a Georgia girl who
agreed ta make a home for him
down here.
She was a Miss Means, fr.vm Ox
f- rd, Ga., a daughter of Dr. Leon
Means, who was for many years a
physician in that classic viliage.
In their typical Southern home
there was gathered a happy com
pany of Georgians on Thanksgiv¬
ing Day, Nov. 80. 1905.
Besides Mr. and Mrs. Thrasher,
there was her mother, Mrs. Means
aud her brother Joe, better known
to his Oxford friends as “Dock ; > )
Mrs. K. L. Thomas, of Atlanta;
Mrs. Peek, of Oxford and her
daughter, Mrs. Williams, with her
husband a graduate of Emory Col
lege, now residing in Cedar Keys,
Fla.; Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Gray
and Mr. Albert Gray King, of
Greensboro, Ga.
Two lovely daughters, Mabel
and Ruby, with four sons, bright
en lhe home of Mr - aud Mrs.
Thrasher and all things conspired
f° ni ak« this truly a Thanksgiving
occasiou.
Although it was the last day of
November, the sunshine was sira
P^y glorious aud the soft breezes
fanned the curtains at the open
windows while everybody was per
fectly comfortable in summer
clothes, Wo could but breathe a
sigh as we thought of our Georgia
friends, at that time, shivering
with cold and getting ready for
frozen pipes’ etc.
But if we had Florida weather
j we had a “Georgia dinner,” in
; quantity, quality aud variety and
i ^ ono ma y s l !ea k for all, the Geor
gia crowd maintained their repu
tatiou for eatiug and seemed to
^nd 110 difference in the flavor of
turkey and cranberry sauce, roast
pig, chicken salad, home-made
light bread, pickles aud jellies,
down in Florida and up in Geor¬
gia, ard that fruit cake and silver
cake and ribbon cake and fruit
punch were all good beyond de¬
scription.
As the company lingered long
at the feast, many delightful remi¬
niscences of the years gune by
were told and we felt the presence

of departed Spirits as we 'saw the
portrait of the illustrious grand¬
father of our hostess looking down
upon us from its place over the
mantel—Dr. Alexander Means,the
eloquent divine-the Toet and
Philosopher the Chemist and
Astronomer and a forerunner of
Edison in his wonderful prophe¬
cies concerning the triumphs ol
electricity. Who that ever saw
those Hashing eyes and character¬
istic gestures as he preached or
lectured on his favorite themes |
can ever forget the inspired genius
of this grand old man?
