Mrs. Gunter. whose descendants, all
| told, number ~, seventy-fOur living
and siXty-OIe of whom, togetkei
with several friends, were present to
enjoy the good things provided for
/ the occasion. [ would mention
among the friends present Captsin
/ ThOs. Hutchinson. w. II. Hutchin-
son and Miss Annie Gingles of Pen
sacOla and E. l.. Virgins and wife
of Pine Barren.
A long table was spread with good
things to eat and we are witnesses To
the Justice done the dinner. How
ever. before being fully admitted TO
the tempting dishes of viand~. We
were favored with a short. but ap-
propriate address by the Rev. y.
B4gyett. " hich ran a. follows:
The occasion FOR which We have Assem-
bled Is one that cannot do les than bring
10Y and RIaCn-Ss TO every heart. Especially
J. this true OF those most intimately con-
re-ted With this HsSemhiag' and dOIbt.->~
speak III" 'eEtIm-nf- OF those Outside Of
th- family circle when >ay. together ~
rejoice.
Why do We reioir.: Pecause mother sill
lives 20 blr~~ her children. grand aId great
grand children. Yes. btcaIsr mother Vet
lives 20 b'e>, her p0,trTity with her COul-
sci. her admOnI-Ion and her PRAYERS. But
when We look ~ mother interest IN the Oc-
CasiOn W. readily conclude that she ton has
reasons FOR rejoicing. Eecause sh- has been
permitted 10 i've and rear her family 20
manhood and WCmanhGOd and to an hon
OraHl. citizenship. for to-day they are law
abiding. Gu:- :-irSTIBE citizen, " no adOTn So
cIety - a greater or less d-grer. All OF her
own sons are church IN. Db-r-, two Of whom
are sunday school Lp-TlnteUdtut~ whose

the Masters use. Grs. when mother thinks
OF these blessings, she may rejoice with u
that 10 TeJO!cr.
But there l. yet another that We recog-
ME a. worthy o; place on this line Of re-
lOIcIng. H. l. none other than the father
ard step-father who has proven himself
Il father worthy Of the esteem and respect
Of the famIly-his sttp-chiIdren being
tIOn. For twenty years ! have been intI-
mAtelv acquainted WIKI the family and
during these have never heard one Of his
step-sous speak OF HIM only in the
highest terms. Hence, | concluded
that a man who assumes control Of a fami- i
~ OF i've orphans IN their childhood and /
merits their respect and good VIII into f.
and wOmanhOOd. and still retains '
u. surely that man has ample room and .
