ing in the Bryan family through
out the years.
The broad veranda commands a
view of tho sunsets where, 011
this occasion a young moon
gleamed in silvery radiance. From
the valley below, was wafted the
fragance of the sweet scented bay.
An initial duty is to visit the
sacred resting place of departed
loved ones, read the inscriptions
which tell a shining record, then
reverently place a flower to the I
memory of the saints on the other
shore.
Under the direction of Mr. |
Heard a program replete with
music, songs, readings and in
terpretative dances was presented

Thompson of Perry; Miss Lynda
Lee Bryan of Talbotton, Lettra

Mrs. L. M. Paul Sr.. of Perry
was the inspiration of many merry
innovations, employing the col
lection of "Coz." Fred Houser's
songs, making everybody feel
"twasthe happiest moment of their
i * ^ f
lives .

golden appreciation to all the
neighbors and friends who made
the occasion possible and to Mr.
and Mrs. Will Arnold he paid
especial tribute as occupaints of
the home and assistants in all the
details.

the afternoons enjoying t h e

'neatli the century old trees. The
presence of the servants who had
rocked uiany of the Bryan chil
dren in their cradles, added a
touch of the dear, delightful ?lays
of Southern hospitality and a
tender grace of a time fast fading
into a silhouette of memory.
