One of the grandest features of
the season was the birthday recep
tion given to Miss Lille Mayson by
hei pare It's, Mr.. and Mrs. R. T.
Maysc.. last Wednesday night. I
shall not attempt to give the details
in full as it would take one side of
your paper to hold it but will sim.
ply touch On high places and Ileave
the readers to draw from their i'm.
agination, for no one could picture
it on paper and give it justice. This
young lady wears the sunshine of
contentment ever upon her face, a
good word and a smile for every
one and her parents. are very much
devoted to her. Her popularity was
evidenced that night by the gift of
many presents presented by rela-
tives and friends. Supper was an
nounced at II o'clock. There was a
perfect feast TO meet our eyes,
everything from substantial diet to
the most delicate dainties. The ia
BILE was most beautifully decorated
with flowers.
Mr.. Mayson has recently built an
up.to-date residence located on a
beautiful rise where he has splen-
did view in every direction and ii is
well furnished for the accommoda-
ton of his family and friends and
on that occasion every department
was opened for the accommodation
of the guests. The young folks
indulged in playa while the older
ones sat by and were good wishers
to it all. Two musical instruments,
an organ and graphophone, added
to the happiness of the occ lsion.
Merry children and beautiful flow
ers made US feel like this was an oc-
casion we should all feel proud Of,
and we should stamp it upon our
memories and draw from it in the
future. Mr.. Mayson has also made
other improvements on his place
that would he credit to any man.
When he is not on his farm at work
you can hear the busy hum of the
saw mill as it traces it's way TIN ough
the timber first his own, and then
cutting lumber for others.
l will say this occasion was rep
resentd from Birmingham, Ala, by
Mr.. Jim Gilchrist who has been
there for years serving as maohin-
list in railroad shops and is now pre-
pared to do any kind of work and
we wish for Jim a prosperous fu-
ture.
Next we speak of as among the
visitors to this section and to the
reception is Mr.. and Mrs. S. w.
Reams. A near glimpse of Mr..
Reams will show you that heis man
of marked ability. He will remind
you very much of attorney general
Lyon, weighs 200 pounds and
has very pleasant face, is real at
tractive. Indeed his appearance is a
true evidence of prosperity. He runs
the mountain city machine shop
and foundry combined does very
extensive business and is a brother
of Mr.. Mark Reams. He came down
in an automobile one of the latest
models of 1913, which weighs $500
and cost him 5000, and it is lit VI
by electricity, so you can see thelt
are few men who ride over our ooun-
try in such machine as that. HI
lives in Greenville, S. c.
Mr.. and M w. l. Freeman Of
Princeton, Laurens county were
present. Mr.. Freeman is one of the
leading farmers in Laurens county
He made very favorable impres
sion on all he met. In conclusion
we wish to express our thanks tc
Mr.. and Mrs. Mayson for the hos
pitality extended all on this enjoy
able occasion. All who know hin
and his good wife know that it il
their daily practice to brighte:
others lives by cheerful words ane
smiles.
