"Sponsored by the pastor oil

Rev. P. S. Wilson, a banquet
was given by the Young Men's
Bible class of the Methodisi
church last Tuesday night be
tween the hours of 8 and 10:3<M
o'clock. The feast which wail
prepared under experienced I
hands of the ladies Missionary
Society of that church was all
that could be desired in the wap'
of iood, and the manner in
which the young fellows went
after it, safely denoted the fact
that many of them still patron'
ized the old fashioned board-
ing houses, commonly called
pruneries, and that good footl
was something they were not
used to. We feel a delicacy ij>
calling names, so all will havij

day afternoon when members
of lie Sunday School class sur-
■ ' isetl her with a party, on her
71th birthday, at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. W. J. La-

Mrs. Watters had eaten

H. H. Berryman and about

sented by Mrs. Crim. After a
nice social hour had been spent
the guests were served to lovely

for him in advance he gave full
force to his "blowing power'
an'" told "why a Ford cai
kicked." Realizing that there
were a few left who, while not
as brilliant as he was, might
want to talk, he stopped ab-
ruptly to allow others to dis-j
(.'av their ignorance, which)
file very adeptly did.
It would be impossible tc
give in this limited newspaper
the full account of these worij-
derful efforts, but we will stat/
'p a brief way that Clareni
M >unce told how to stop f
prevention, Alec Black had t
uselcst sttbject-of telling h
to eat, Variety Store Ryan to
the farmers how to raise mo;
cotton, Russell Blanton told t
advantages of married lif'
Robert McClure told how to
change a coon to a goat, Wal-
ter Powers gave valuable infor-
mation on how to stay thin, Roy;
Black in a lengthy and helpful
way told how to skin a squir-
rell, and the place to start the
job, Alec Black sang a solo
about this time, which brought
forth many groans and much
rpplesauce, which caused one
cf the main high dignataries.

iefended Frank Norris beat
bad that even Jim Ferguson
would be ashamed to defend
Ma's pardoning power in his
presence. The longer he talk-
ed the louder he got and the
louder he got the more he
dodged the truth, and after
physical persuasion had been
used to the extreme, he seated
himself long enough for Toast-
master Lawson to tell the Lim-
berger cheese story and intro-
duce Miss Big Bertha Britton,
who being a trained nur^e
spoke on etaoinnsrd. It was a
very intricate subject, but was
in master hands and Miss Brit-
tain made a deep impression
upon her listeners in dealing
with such heavy subject, des-
pite the frailness of her status,
In order to get the banquet 0n

WEINER ROAST
FOR SALE
Mrs. Paul Whitehead enter-
tained members of her Sunday
School Class and several guests
last Saturday afternoon with a
"Weiner Roast." Naturally
one would think of a Weiner
Roast being held in a beauti-
ful pasture with a glowing bon
fire, but this one was given in-
doors because of the showers
of rain which fell most all the
afternoon. The young folks
began to arrive shortly after 3
o'clock each with a bundle of
Weiners and a box of Marsh-j
mallows. They were somewhat!
disappointed because they:
could not journey to the woods. |
But after all had arrived they
began to play "Hot Towel." i
Winkum," and such games as!
are delightful to children, soon 1
all were so happy until the dis-
appointment of the afternoon
was forgotten. At 5 o'clock all
were called to the dining room}
and on a long table were lots
of "Hot Weiners and toasted
Marshmallows together with
delicious hot buns baked by the
charming hostess. Home made
pickles and other good eats
which make a picnic lunch,
