Reception.

Everest. the handsome colonial
home of Mr.. and Mrs. r. B. Oliver,
has been the scene of number of de-
lightful entertainments during the
past year. Many have heen the kind
concentrations of our young people
for the pleasure they have enjoyed in
that hospitable home, but the recep-
ton given to Miss Hooper by Mrs.
Oliver last night was perhaps the most
notable and elegant. Miss Hooper is
from Virginia, and cousin of Mrs.
Oliver. She is most charming young
lady, cultured in manners and ad-
dress, blessed with a conversational
ability that has always distinguished
the ladies of that historic.land. She
is already a favorite with our young
people and We trust she may be induc-
ed to spend many months in Missouri.
In addition to our home beauty and
gallantry we noticed several ladies
from Jackson, Paragould, st. Louis
and Chicago, and Messrs N. Ander-
son of Commerce and Lee Hunter of
