raSSsSB Perry, Thursday, September 18. local news, 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 Resolutions Of Daughters Of Con federacy.

And the hay ride which we took Wednesday morning t hrough the beautiful highly cul tivated, fertile and productive fields.

Right here let us say the ground pea boiling and cane chewing W9re not least in adding to our pleas ure. With our hearts over-flowing with gratitude we bid our kind hosts and hostess a fond farewell.
