which was very greatly- enjoyed by vhose who had assembled.

The reception given Tuesday eve
ning by Miss Georgia Gaston, in honor
of her guest, Miss Cutter of Bain-
bridge, was one of the most charming
social evente in Gainesville in quite
awhile. A large number of guests
were present, and most charmingly did
the splendid hostess entertain them.
From the moment of arrival until the
hour of departure there was one con
tinuous round of jollity, and the affair
was one long to be remembered as one
of the happiest events of Gainesville
society. The palatial home was hand
somely decorated and presented a scene
of exquisite loveliness. Delightful re
freshments were served, and every
thing passed off in the happiest
manner.

THANKSGIVING TURKEY.
DINNER.
1:00 to 3:00 O’clock.
The question is often asked, why the
turkey is so universally considered the
piece de resistance at thanksgiving
feasts? The best answer to this we
have ever noticed, is that at the first
settlement of this (country, the Pilgrim
fathers, early set apart a day every
year, as a day of special sanctity,which
was celebrated with strict religious
observances, family reunions and mu
tual expressions of good wishes and
kindly greetings throughout every
neighborhood, in acknowledgement of
the many obligations they were under
to Almighty God for His protection of
them, against the many dangers with
which they were continually threat
ened. Wild game was principally de
pended on for food in those days,
which, of-course was very abundant.
The wild turkey—strictly a native
American bird—was regarded as the
most toothsome of all the game that
contributed so much to their food
supply and to family reunion feasts.
Consequently, it was selected to crown
the festive hoard, especially on thanks-
and, from this, no
