Mr. and Mrs. Wimberly Cullens
Entertain.
In honor of their most charm¬
ing guests, Misses Fleming and
Ledbetter, of Newton, Mr. and
Mrs. Wimberly W. Cullens en¬
tertained a large number of the
social circle of Camilla Friday
evening from 9:30 to 12 o’clock.
The parlor was beautifully dec
orated with bamboo vines, while
the hall presented a very enticing j
rustic appearance effected hr |
various garlands from the wood V
Panic was the prevailing featu com* [!
of the evening, the entire
pany being excitedly interested in
the exchange of stock. The
amusement of the crowd reach¬
ed its climax and the room was
convulsed with laughter, when
Hie fine-humored host took a
hand in the game and was en¬
deavoring to obtain a corner on
the “Panic” card itself. When.
* little later on in the evening,
some fond suitor took his lady -
friend from the delightfully
heated parlor and fat out upon
ftlie extremely cold east verandah,
«he same good natured gentle¬
man was heard to remark that
f»e had heard of the sweat box
feeing used for inducing confes¬
sion, but he had never thought
of the refrigerator being used for
tike same purpose.
Delightful refreshment* were
served at 10:30, soon after which
tlie minor portion of the guests
left the numerous spooning
oouples to their own self-contain¬
ed enjoyment. Mr. and Mrs.
Guliens as host and hostess have
gained a favorite place in the
hearts of the young people who
were so fortunate as to enjoy
their hospitality.
COMMUNICATED.
"9iie. of the happiest entertain¬
ments of the season, was that,
given at the residence of Mr. and
Mr®. F. Spence Perry, last Fri¬
day might, in honor of hisparents,
celebrating the thirtieth anni¬
versary of their wedding, which
occurred Jan. 29th 1874. in this
county.
The wedther seamed to be do¬
ing it* best, to mar the evenings
anticipations, but the old folks
were there, and within doors all
was pleasant and happy.
On every hearth glowed gen¬
erous fires, while the song and
music floated through the house
from room to room, and remin¬
iscences of by gone days, passed
from friend to friond; the hearty
hand shake, the laugh, and ab¬
sence of all formality, reminded
one-of a gathering of children,
instead of gray haired men and
women, who had reached the
summit of life’s mountain, and
was going down on the other
side, nearing the valley of the
shadows.
We sometimes feel the thread of life is slender.
And soon with all the abor will be wrought;
Then grooms our hearts, to other hearts, more
tender
“The time,’the time is short.”
Such scenes as these, are worth
the effort, turning our eves as
does, to the brighter side of life.
The program for the evening
seemed to be self evolving. The
moment a guest crossed the
thresh hold, they were taken po
session of, nor did these atten¬
tions cease, until the last “good
nignt” was repeated. Miss Law
son Spence* Miss Susie Spence,
Miss Kate Cochran, Mi's3 Cleve¬
land Baggs and Mrs. T. B. Perry
assisted Mts. Perry in reoeiveng
the guests. /
Rev. J. L. Underwood, who
performed the ceremony thirty
years ago, was appointed “Toast
master” Miss Ethel Perry pre¬
sided at the piano, while Mrs.
Clara Twitty ‘sang the old songs,’
of thirty years ago. Nannie Sue
Perry and Annie J. Cochran,
served the guests in the library
hall with “punch” during the
evening.
At 8 o’clock the dining room
doors were thrown open. The
beautiful dining room, the tables
covered with snowy linen, jardi
neres of flowers, atid various
decorations, were delightful to
the eye.
The bride and groom led the
way to the head of the table,
opposite was the parents of
Mrs. F. S- Perry, Mr. and
Mrs. G. C. Cochran. After the
places were assigned the Rev.
C. T. Clark invoked the divine
blessing.
The “Toast master announced
that the toasts for the occasion,
would be drank with water, and
after a few complimentary re¬
marks, proposed the toast, the
“bride and groom” and the friend
and schoolmate, of the “brides”
early childhood days, Judge J.
H. Scaife was called on for a re¬
sponse, and in a few well chosen
sentences, expressed the senti¬
ments of the guests, and won a
generous applause,
A toast, “Our friends” was re¬
quired of Judge W. N. Spence,
but suffering from neuralgia, was
excused. *
“Our host” was responded to
by Rev. C. T. Clark who warmly
congratulated “our host” on
every scon, and acquitted him¬
self gracefully, and received his
quota of appreciation, for the
same.
After the toasts, were delivered,
the supper was the absorbing
element, and was thoroughly ap¬

tastefully arranged on a pair of
white gilded cards, tied with
white and scarlet ribbons, one

Syne and the other the following
menu.

The young ladies, who assisted
Mrs. Perry in reeiving the
guests, assisted her also in dis¬
pensing hospitality in the dining pro*
room and did their ishare in
moting the success of this feature
of the evening’s entertainment.
After supper, “Our Host” qui¬
etly slipped the gentlemen off to
the “den.” from whence the
odor of “Havannah’s” revealed
the plot, while the ladies gath¬
ered in groups reveling in fem¬
inine chit chat,” and enjoyed
themselves as only females can.
Our new editor, Mr. W. A, Allen a
veritable “Sunny Jim” graced
the occasion with his presence,
also his wife, who has already
found her way to the hearts of
the people of Camilla.
Mr. G. C. Ccchran, of Flint the
“all around business man” also
made his presence felt, with his
jolly good matured face that
seemed to reflect the happiness
of his many friends.
As the hour of ten approached
Judge Underwood marshalled the
guests into the parlor for the
closing scene. Mr. J. C. Turner
and wife, Judge W. N. Spence
and wife, Judge J. H. Scaife and
wife were called into service to
attend the bride and groom for a
matrimonial ratification. The
bride and groom acquited them¬
selves creditably—as Judge Un¬
derwood plied the interrogations
that brought the “smiles ar
flush” to- the cheeks of the
venerable youngters, while tl
solemnly promised to love a
cherish each other thirty ye
longer.
All joined in singing “A
Dang Syne”^t the conclusio
wjiieh Judge Underwood let
prayer for a continuance of
blessings over all. The
