Christmas Dining

Thursday, Dec. 26, was an occasion of unusual interest at the home of Mrs. S.P. 
Nicholson, near Pineville.

A number of invited guests among whom were Rev. W.W. Riner and wife and Mrs. 
Neelie Lowe, of Buena Vista, and Rev. J.M. Murray of Ellaville, assembled 
around her hospitable board and partook of an elegant and delicious dinner, 
which was bountifully dispensed by the kind hostess.

In the afternoon a musical and elocutionary recital was held in the parlor by 
the pupils of Mrs. D.R. Walker, which reflected credit alike upon both teacher 
and pupils.

The music and recitations were of an exceptionally high order, and the occasion 
will long be remembered with pleasure by those who were so fortunate as to be 
present.
