--One of the pleasantest evenings the young people of Ridgeland have enjoyed
for some time was passed last Saturday evening at the residence of Levett
FOX. At 8 o'clock the young people came into the house in a body, and made a
perfect surprise to Mr. and Mrs. Marion FOX, whose first year of married life
expired that evening. Of course there was some embarrassment felt on the part
of the young couple thus surprised and not being dressed for such an
occasion, but here is where they showed themselves equal to the occasion, by entering
into the joke and making everyone feel perfectly at home. The young people
brought refreshments and music with them, and these witt games and jokes made
the evening pass very rapidly, when it was announced that the Sabbath was
approaching, but before then all had departed, leaving the young couple in
quietude and knowing that they still hold a warm place in the hearts of their
friends.
