Family Reunion.

Mr. Jacob RHODES is not to be denied the pleasures of a social gathering, occasionally, because he is keeping a bachelor's hall. Last week he did cooking and otherwise prepared for receiving all of his children who lived in his vicinity last Sunday. Those present were W. C. and C. T. RHODES, W. W. WILEY, John SMITH and families and Miss Rosa, Mr. RHODES' invalid daughter, who had not been home for several months. A good time was had by all, and they were made to realize that there is no place like home. Not the least of the enjoyments of the day were the watermelons furnished by Charley.
