NeWs of Thorsby.

Thorsby, January 25.-(Special.) )-Few social affairs are more inclusive of a. whole neighborhod than the informal re- ception rendered to Dr. l.. V. Stabler and Mrs. Stabler at dormitory hall last evening. Only very recently had it be- come known that the doctor, with his wife and five boys, would at once leave Thorsby, where for the past seven years they have held a position so close to the lives and hearts of nearly every fam- fly in the community that they had come to be regarded as a fixture.
 Miss Helen C. Jenkins, associate prin- cipal of Thorsby institute, who for sey- eral months has been in New England winning friends and raising funds for the school, will return early in February and take up her work in classes. She will be gladly welcomed by the faculty and students and by the people of Thors- by not directly connected with the school.

MRS. cRAYs LUNCHEON.

A hospitality yesterday for popular bride was the luncheon given by Mrs. Henry B. Gray for Mrs Hill Ferguson. at her home on South Twentieth street. Mrs. Gray's name is a synonym for de- lightful entertaining and her hospitalities are always anticipated with the keenest pleasure. The luncheon yesterday, some one said. was the most exquisite in point of detail that she has ever given. The bits of fragile china used fin the service of the various courses were reminders of Mrs. Gray's European trip during the past lsummer, for most of the appoint ments of the table. indeed, were brought back with her. The iuncaeon cloth,
 one of the handsomest ever seen in Bir- niingham. was of Venetian nlet elaborate
 ly embroidered. It was laid over satin in the jonqul tint, and an abundance of these lovely flowers were arranged in a huge wicker basket, placed in the table center. Large bows of tulle In the yell low tints decorated the handles of the basket and heightened the fairy-liks beauty of the blossoms. The place cards were hand-painted in jonquils and ices were served in jonqul spun candy cups.
 Mrs. Gray received her guests wearing handsome gown fashioned of Irish lace in which she is lovely. The guest of honor was a picture in an afternoon cos- tune of some dark tint with which she wore black furs and . huge -plumed hat. Mrs. Harding was another pretty guest at the luncheon. wearing rose gown with tilted white beaver chapeau of beaver with white ostrich plumes and Mrs. Florence Bucks toilet was heavy safan In . vivid blue shade and garnl- tured with black and gold smbroideries

Busy Paying Poll Tax.

Russellville, January 25.-(SpeciaD- Franklin county is to take part in the coming elections this year if the pay ment of poll taxes counts for anything Up to 10 o'clock Monday morning Tax Collector R. o. Eibley reported sls poll taxes paid. So far 103 men have thought it advisable to pay up their back poll taxes. Last week a man went Into MT. Sibley's office and told him he would like to make himself square with the state on the poll tax proposition. Looking up his old books MT. Sibley found that the gen. tleman owed $13.50 back poll taxes. With & long smile he handed over the amount and vanshide from the offive to give his place to some other man who had failed to pay the meager amount and thereby sacrificed his citizenship so far as his say-so in politics was concerned.

Interest in the annual charity ball, which is the important post-lenten social
 function in Birmingham, has already
 been manifested by hundreds. A very in teresting matron who spent November.
 December and a part of January in Chi
 cago told a party of ladies gathered a
 few days ago about a luncheon table
 something of the great charity ball given
 recently in that oity. It was at the Auditorium which, for the occasion, was
 a scene almost Oriental in It's splendor.
 Banners hung from the high ceilings;
 the gorgeous contrast of white and gold
 fringe upon soft folds of bunting--and
 white 1attices encircled the ball room.
 The rows of boxes, improvised for the oc-
 casion and superbly decorated, gave to
 the brilliant scene the effect of some
 ancient Roman arena surrounded by
 boxes crowded with the nobility come
 to watch the gladiators' contests. One
 could any moment expect thumbs to go
 down. Surely no ball room picture could
 be prettier than she painted this one.
 The ball is an annual one and she
 said that this year the sale of boxes
 exceeded any ever before made and more
 could have been disposed of had there
 been room to place them. The price paid for the boxes, too. was record breaking,
 and the display of gorgeous jewels and
 gowns she said was enchanting. This ball was the means of raising $26,0O0 to distribute among several Chicago char
 ities.
 News comes. too, of preparations in New York city for the twentieth annual German charity ball, which will take place tomorrow night at the Waldorf
 Astoria and will be an event of bril- liance.
 Last night, January 25, was the occa- sion of New Years annual charity ball which. by the way, was founded in 1851 before the civil war and is said to be the oldest fun ction of its kind in the world. It took place as in many pre- vious seasons, at the Waldorf-Astoria A plan lately effected in the metropolis Is the formation of-a Charity Ball so. ciety" The purpose of this organiza- ton is to awaken interest in the ball and to make the opening march a more thrill. ing introduction.

Mrs. Henry Weston Hyde of New York. Mrs. Hyde has already become a social favorite in Birmingham.
