HOUSE WARMING AT EVERGREEN LAWN.
On New Years day the home of Mr.. Ben
ton S. Flater was a happy one, on account of
the whole family being united once more in
surrounding the family table as they used to do
| when the children were all small and at home.
| Having invited many of his neighbors and
! friends, the forenoon was spent IN congratu-
lation and well wishes of the season, as well
as social conversation, when all were invited
! to the dining room where the table was laden
under the weight of good things, and before
the dinner had well settled the guests were
invited to make themselves still more miser-
able by partaking of ice cream, cake and
other delicaces. When time had arrived for
/ all to depart for their homes the hand was
given reluctantly in goodbye with the best of
wishes for the family, and all departed feeling
that one more happy day had been spent.
