a Brilliant Recrption

The following culled from the Fay
etteville Ark Duly may prove o
interest to many people in Farmyile
who Will remember that DR.. Jno. T.
Buchanan was intimately associated
with the organization Of our State
Female Normal school. He would
doubtless been made president of the
institution at one time had not his
being State Superintendent Of Public
Instruction prevented his accepting
the honor. Having served as profess
s)r at Emory d Henry and Randolph
Macon, he was called to his present
position, VIZ; president of the Arkan-
sis Industrial University which insti-
tulion now numbers nearly 900 stu
dents, the largest enrolment in its
history:
"Ihe hospilable home Of DR.. J. l..
Buchanan and Mrs. Buchanan was
thrown open to their friends on Thurs
day afternoon in one Of the handsomest
receptions Of the season, and the large
number of guests present testified to
their appreciation Of the occasion.
"Mrs. Buchanan, assisted by her
daughters, Mrs Yeates, of Washing
ton, ID. c., and Miss Buchanan, received
their friends in the spacious parlors,
which were beautifully aud artistically
decorated with masses of palms, ferns
and chrysauthemums, aud strains of
delightful music floated through the
rooms.
"lhe dining room was a vertable
bower Of beauty with its cleaning
silver and glass and its dainty and
be lutiful decorations. The lights from
above glitlered on a huge block of
crystal ice, heaped with frozen dainties,
and flowers and ferns and trailing
vines added TO the beauty of the scene.
"By most happy combination Of
events, Col. William Jennings Bryan
and Mrs. Bryan arrived on the three
o'clock train to spend the day and
night with DR.. and Mrs. Buchanan, so
hat the guests had the pleasure Of
Meeting that charming and distin-
,uished couple, and all agreed that if
Inything could add to the enjoyment |
If tie occasion it was the presence Of
col. and Mrs Bryan.
