The New Year receptions Monday
night were by far the most elegant and on
a more extensive scale than ever before in
Jackson This occasion is always looked
forward to as the one grand social event of
the year, and ON Monday the pleasures and
delights of all former years were far surpass-
ed To particularize and do anything
approaching justice to the magnihcence
of the receptions, the handsome toilets
and their lovely wearers, would require
more space than We can spare and reader
and more fluent pen than we can WELD, so,
further than to remark that all the ladies
were looking their best aud brightest, and
entertained their numerous guests as only
our ladies can entertain, we will not at
tempt description. Some of the recep-
tions lasted till past midnight, all appearing
to wish to prolong the delightful occasion as
long as possible.
