A House Party.
The hot summer day was draw
ing to a close when the happy par-
ty started from Perry to attend a
house party given by Miss Mae
Thurmond at her home about
three miles east of Perry in hon
or of Misses Fannie Smith, Lula
Hurst and Maggie Day.
Far away in the west the low
snnjwas sinking from sight,bright
ening with is dying glory the na
ture of God. When we reached
her beautiful home all was tur
moil and uproar on that golden
hazed evening.
If you wish to observe this home
aright, go visit it on a September
evening. How difficult it would
be to express the joy and pleasure
that met us on every side. Our
host and hostess put. forth their
best efforts to make our visit
pleasant, thr more we study.their
subline character* The more we
analyzed their wonderful words,
’tis not strange we learned to love
them very dearly.
Miss Thurmond was a bonvi
vant of the gayest order, who low
ed to play the hostess, forget care
and enjoy herself with her friends.
When we reached' her home on
Monday afternoon it seemed like
dreamland and then there was the
cheerful anticipation of explor
ing scenes to-morrow,of which we
thought then and of which- we
dreamed that niglit.
An incident occured the first
evening which excited our wonder
and interest. We had left the
supper table, and-were assembled
in the parlor which was brightly
illuminated when a knock was
heard on the front door and soon
after the parlor door was opened
and Messrs. Edwin Martin and
Russell Edwards sood within it,
and by the additiouof these young
men the evening was pleasantly
spent.
For sufficient reasons we will
not tell what happened the next
day as we strolled through the
woods, refreshing ourselves in the
balmy air and as we sang, our
hearts were light and free from
care. On that evening the young
men accompanied by Messrs. Mil
ler Day and Howard Miller again
joined us in the parlor. The even
ing was spent in conversation and
