ator, at Cranberry sweetened our tooth
and gladdened our heart and rejoiced
our stomach with three large speckled

The pic mic last week in Turkey
Town, is said to have been one of the
most pleasant affairs OF the season.
There were perhaps five hundred peo-
pie on the ground. Uncle Abe Hart
and Uncle VIM. Blossom Mottern,
were the flag bearers. 1t is said the
dinner was the climax Of good dim
ners, our regret is that we didn't get
to help eat it. Turkey Town is one
of the best neighborhoods in Carter
county or any other county and its
citizens cannot be excelled for hospi-
tality. Long live Turkey Town and
its flag bearers.
