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 t&M £.vt£iM(4A fa ■ ---— — ? ---- 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?
