A Pleasant Home

Last Sunday in company with clever John H. Milner we spent the afternoon
at the pleasant home of  Mr. Josiah Allen.

Mr. Allen has just moved out from Griffin, where he enjoyed a very
lucrative position, with his brother-in-law, Mr. E.J. Flemister, and is
now giving his personal attention to his large plantation.

Mr. Allen's home is presided over by his estimable wife, a queenly
little lady who understands the art of making [a] home happy.
Magnificent paintings, that would reflect credit upon the best efforts
of a professional artist adorn the parlor walls and attest the taste of
Mrs. Allen with the brush. Their home is blessed by two happy
bright-eyed children and then there is grandma and grandpa, - the latter
being the 16 year old youngster known everywhere as Judge Bob Allen.

Upon the whole it is a pleasant, happy home, and we trust it may remain
so for many happy years.
