BRILLIANT SOCIETY EVENT.
A Magnificent Reception and German by Mlsg
iwuuuuru uio io ncr f riends
One of the most prominent societv
events of the season or for that mat.
tcr of past seasons was the reception
and german last night at the Driskill
given by Mrs. G. C. Gorham and hpr
accomplished daughter Miss Iona
complimentary to their many friends.
The magnificent parlors presented an
animated scene ot beauty which will
linger as a pleasant dream in the
memory of all who participated in the
elaborate affair.
The halls parlors and dining rooms
were brilliantly illuminated with in-
numerable sparkling lights that daz-
zled and twinkled as if in joyous sym-
pathy with the gay surroundings.
The music furnished by Herzog's or-
chestra was a revelation of sweet
symphonies that seemed to float out
upon the fragrant air impelling as if
with some magic wand the graceful
movements of the dance. The rays of
light sent out by the sparkling jewels
the blending of soft rich colors the
peerless combination of tulle and
flowers the shimmer of silks and the
splendor of brocades made a picture
whose lights and Bhadows were won-
drously blended and most pleasing.
The charming hostesses moved
among their guests dispensing their
cordial hospitality to one and all with
a most gracious hand. They were
most agreeably assisted by Mesdames
Wm. Tobin James Shepard T. A.
Hall and Misses Nellie McCollum
Bernie Smith and Helen Grant.
Mrs. Wm. Tobin looked queenly in
a toilette of ashes of roses silk full
court train panels of rich folds of
shimmering breadth that seemed to
catch and hold every color of the rain-
bow. The decollete bodice was fin-
ished with falls of priceless point lace;
rubies.
Mrs. James Shepard wore a charm-
'mg gown of blue crepe de chine
trimmed with Valencia lace; diamonds.
Mrs. Gorham received in east parlor
and wore an Empire gown of cream
colored Henrietta cloth made demi-
srain corsage V-shaped front and back
thort sleeves met by long cream col-
ored kid gloves; bouquet of Jaquemi-
not roses ; pearls and diamonds.
Miss Gorham wore a Persian dress
of pale green India silk embroidered
in silver draped overskirt of white lace
and caught with water lilies. She
carried a long eastern fan of pale
green feathers and wore the fashiona-
ble tiny silver dagger in her belt and
most appropriate jewels for the dress ;
aquamarines and pearls.
Mrs. T. A. Hall wore white silk full

THE SUPPER.
In the ladies' ordinary mine
host Captain Lord the . courteous
manager and caterer at the Driskill
had prepared a superb collation. The
tables most elaborately decorated
with fragrant flowers fairly groaned
under dishes prepared with all the
care and skill known to the cuisine
art and all were tastefully arranged.
That the repast was greatly enjoyed
there was abundance of evidence.
a fin dinner dancine was resumed
and continued until the "golden

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT C. K.
As our forefathers when nature's
children of the forest in pursuit of
game around the council fire in sim-
plicity did give praise and thanks to the
great spirit in their yearly mystic
"green corn dance" for the return of
His great gift to them the "Indian
corn" now today as a Christian na-
tion of people it is but meet that the
Cherokee people should give thanks
to the Christian God for His continued
protection of our tribe in the enjoy-
ment of their government anoVhomes
and that through the many trials we
have been compelled to pass He has
continued to bless our people.
It is but proper that we as a na-
tion should pause and give earnest
thanks to God that we have been per-
mitted to live in the enjoyment of this
life and the peace and prosperity that
surrounds us : Now therefore
I J. B. Mayes principal chief of the
Cherokee nation do. issue this my
proclamation to the Cherokee people
asking that you set apart
THURSDAY THE 28TH DAY OF NOVEMBER
as a day of Thanksgiving that you
THURSDAY NOVEMBER 2V

assemble . at your usual places of
worship and give thanks to God and
beseech Him to bless us once more
and shield us from - the dangers that
surround us and earnestly ask Him to
let us live' as other nations and states
arouirj us in the full enjoyment of
the gifts that He has given us.

They WIU Calmly Agitate Theosophy
Spiritualism Christian Science and
Other Mysurloui Things.
Some days ago several gentlemen
.of this city organized themselves into
an association to be known as the
ESOTERIC SOCIETY
with Mr. j. G. Taylor president and
Frank Elliott secretary.
A Statesman reporter yesterday
met one of the prominent members of
the society and having some curiosity
to know if the pythagorean system of
philosophy supposed to have died sev-
eral centuries ago was to be revived
at this late day asked him the objects
of the society. He said:
"We organized the Esoteric society
a few weeks ago and we havejmet
with much success and have created
considerable interest among liberal
minded and progressive people."
"Can you give me an outline of your
principles?"
"Oh yes."
"We believe that at the back of and
beyond the physical body and the
knowledge and ' power which we use
through the five physical senses to
reach the external or physical world
lies the true and real life which is the
source of all . the manifestations and
phenomna which we call life.
"We believe that it is the legitimate
province of men and women to seek
the attainment of knowledge in any
direction that' may lead them to a
better appreciation and application of
truth that we may by the cultivation
and unfoldment of our natural powers
be enabled to come to an understand
ing of what we are and in accordance
with our beliefs aspirations and de
sires for the progression unfoldment
and uplifting of humanity we seek
the strength and support which or-
ganization and combination of forces
and unity of purpose gives.
"Therefore the obiect and aim
of our society is to promote the
agitation and discussion of Esoteric
Philosophy Theosophy Spiritualism
Christianity Christian Science Hy-
gene Healing and other subjects rela
tive to scientific progress and elf-
improvement and to encourage and
aid men and women in the attainment
of those conceptions whereby they
may know themselves.
"It is not the intention of this
society to place any restriction or im-
pose any obligation on any member
regarding their religious or scientific
beliof. We do not gauge or measure
the qualities or worth of any person
by the standard of any creed sect or
school. Our hichest aim is to com
bine in faithful and united effort to
ward the opening of our senses to the
pure light of love and knowledge."
The above will give you an outline
of the teachings and beliefs of the
society and if you want to know more
about it call on President Taylor.

.WncoDay: At the recent colored
conference speeches were nitulo ad-
vising the rifgroes of the south to
hide out whou the United States cen-
sus takers come around the object
being to lensen tlio representation of
the south in congress and theeloctoral
college by reducing tho statistical
population. This is nonsense. Tho
United States officials are not likely
to be thwarted in doing .their plain
duty by any such child's play nnd
the negroes will bo wise tj thi"k
twice before they act at once iu any
fluch rebellious manner under tlip
rash advice of their leaders.
Epoch.
The transition from lonir lingering and
puinful Mekliem to robtiHl health nmrkn mi
epoch in the life of the individual. Hiuli a
romarkable event is treasured in the mem-
ory and the agency whereby the pood
health has been attained 1h gratefully -blessed.
Jinnee it Is that bo much is heard
in praise of Electrlo Bitters. Ho many 1'eel
thoy owe their restoration to health to tlm
use of the Ureat Alterative and Tonic. I f
you are troubled with any disease of kid-
neys liver or stomach of long or short
standing you will surely find relief by iiso
of Klectrio Bitters. Hold at 50 cents and 1ft
per bottle at J. J. Tobin'g drug storo.
