One of the most delightful receptions was given last Wednesday evening, Sept. 3rd, by Mr. and Mrs. Pulaski Gray Morris in celebration of their 25th wedding anniversary. The place chosen by Mr. and Mrs. Morris was the Lanier Library, which, with its decorations and furniture arrangement, had all the charm of the home, and at the same time was spacious enough to accommodate easily the large number of guests who came during the evening to greet the happy couple and offer congratulations. Receiving with Mr. and Mrs. Morris were their only daughter, Mrs. Buckner of Asheville, and their only son, Mr. Morgan Morris with his lovely young bride. Mrs. Kittrell, Mrs. Kennedy, Mrs. Millikin and Mrs. Morgan received at the door, Misses Lucile Smith and Margaret Doubleday presided over the punch bowl. They were assisted by Miss Leonora Jeffries of Gaffney, a member of the Tryon school faculty.
The Doubleday orchestra played at intervals throughout the evening enchanting music appropriate to the happy occasion, and Miss Eunice Stockard and Mrs. Preston sang dear old love songs in their usual charming manner. At a late hour delicious refreshments were served by a bevy of high school girls. The gifts attested the popularity of the pair.
Besides a large number of Tryon friends, there were present also an equal number of friends and former neighbors in Landrum where Mr. and Mrs. Morris resided before they came to make Tryon their home a few years ago.
