Especial thanks to the Silver
Comet Band for their valuable as
sistance, in every instance refusing
to partake of the cream gratuitous-
ly, but paying more than was asked
for it,
We have not words of praise suit
ficient for Mr.. Gross, who not only
made the cream and presented two
handsome cakes, but insisted upon
serving the cream during the even
ing. We hope grateful public will
not forget such liberality and kind
ness. We thank The Pulaski CIT-
IzEN, Mr.. Willie Craig, Mr.. Pearcy
and Mr.. Downer for their kindness
and efficient aid.
We are under great obligations
to the ladies who presided and the
young ladies who assisted at the
different tables. Without so much
beauty and worth we could not pos
sibly have been so fortunate.
