PLEASANT EVENT
AT MOUNTVILLE.
Birthday Dinner Given to
Mrs. Bunlap.
BY HER CHILDREN.
Attended by a Large Party
of Guests.
The Home or Mr. ami Mrs. Unfug Duu
Iap the Scene of n Brilliant
Social Function.
Mr. and Mrs. Rum? T. Dunlap are
noted all over this county for their
sumptuous hospitality, and all who ure
so fortunate as to receive an invitation
to their comfortable homo uro suro of a
warm welcome and "pleasant, time."
Bat never before have their hospitable
hearts conceived so perfect an enter
tainment as that of tho 21st ult., given
in honor of the 08rd birthday of their
mother, who is at all tlmos the rao<t
honored member of their family. They
delight to give her pleasure and thoro
for i sent out invitations to many of her
friends for this date.
Mr. Dunlap is ono of the very few
youag men of today who retiin and
live on the lands originally granted by
the King of England t ) his aocoitors
long before tho Rovolu'.i'in, defending
to him through a long line of Dunlap;.
Hei9alsoone of another "fiw" who
make firming pay and can give so
much pleasure in his home.
On this day of diys the 21st, tho homo
was in its gala auire. The ha11,decorat
ed wi'h various native evergreens, pre
sented a choerful we c line, the dates
1841 and 19)4 indicating bho number of
years that this youthful 1 joking matron
claimed for her own Ono oould haiddly
realize that she had a right to the
olaim. Parlors were grac-ofully draped
with ivy, darkened and lighted by un
que candelabra and reflected by a grand
old mirror, both c'o-cended from
Mrs. Danlap's grandmother. The ef
feot was most pleasing and furnishod
just tbe oorroot light for o'd friends to
meet and talk of "Auld Lang Lyne"
and might account to to ne ni'nds for
the kind remark cf a guest: "that ho
had never seen so many pretty old la
dies together"
Mrs. Dunlap met us with her usual
smile of wolcome conducting us into
the cloak room whore we forthwith for
got u?he silver threads among tho
gold" of our heads, lo3t our dignity
and b^gan to exclaim ia delight at so
many faces familiar in the past, but
now scarcely recognizable after tho
lapse of so many years. We fell upon
each other's necks and ' did not weep,
but smiled quite audibly and chatted,
not after the approved style, but ac
cording (o the dictates of our hoirts
all aglow with pleasure.
After an hour dinner?that most Im
portant function?was announced and
all proceeded to the diniug-room where
an ante-bellum dining took place, ts
they did whan "we were young." The
usual decorations wore here, making
the room a picture, with chini, glass
and'sllver ware In tho glow of the (>.'{
candles mou'did by tho deft hands of
Mrs. Dunlap hers?lf, and supported on
a beautifully decorated stanl, which
answo-od the same purpose on hoc
wedding table noarly forty years ago.
It goes without saying that "the table
fairly groaned under its load of good
things."
Time has dealt gently with Mrs.
Dunlap. One could easily suppo3* her
an older sister in this p'oasant homo.
She is full of life and energy with good
prospects of realizing at least a part of
the many good wishes of the day, such
as "many returns," thatsho "may liva
another sixty-three yoarg," that sho
may "have another birthday in July,"
etc.
Many birthday offerings woro brought
to this feast of good things, both use
ful and ornamental, but all of equal
value to the appreciative recipient, be
cause each conveys to tho heart an
idea of the esteem in which ehe is held
by her friends.
Several were unavoidably absent and
therefore are losors. Those present
were:
Mr and Mrs John C. Davis, Mrs Era
ma T Griffin, Mrs John T Robertson,
Mrs G W Shell, Mrs B F Pylep, Mr and
Mrs. M M Teague, Mr and Mrs Oree
well Garlington, Mrs Orrah 0 Peako,
Mrs Wna A Shand, Mrs Joe Phinnoy,
Mra T S Lhagston, Mr B J Langston,
Mrs Elolse Shell, Miss Elizaboth Shel',
Mrs H A Teague, Miss Alma Shell. Mr
Allen Shell, Miss Fay Hudgons, Miss
Willie Phlison, Dr A Fuller, Mr and
Mrs W Hale Shand, Mr and Mrs J
N Wright, Mr and Mrs A J Smith, Mr
and Mrs Tom Bailey, Mr and Mrs Add
Boyd, Miss Mary Doran Bolt, Mr J J
Pluss, Mies BessieToaguo, Miss Aman
da Motes, Miss Caroline Wood.
Glancing at the list one sees that
there were several pretty and grac3ful
young ladies among tho.se present and
they gave some fine music which addod
much to tbe pleasures of the day. J
think one lady voiced tho feeling of all
when she said 'tis worth fifty dollars to
be here to-day. Lsng Hvo Mr. and
Mrs. Dunlap and long live tho dear
mother to bless this home with her
prose noe.
