The BaHimorean says: On Tuesday night
last Mr. A. w. Hawks was presented with a
handsome set of solid silver spoons, by Gus
ter Post, G. A. r., No. 8. Mr.. Hawks is
one of Baltimore's most effective readers,
and is withal a genial pleasant gentleman.
The spoons were given in recognition of the
gentleman's services, so frequently rendered
gratuitously. The presentation address was
made by Comrade Isaac McCurley, who was
responded to in a neat little speech by Mr..
Hawks. The members of the Ladies Aid
Society attached to the Post were present
in numbers during the evening, and greatly
enjoyed the many selections with which
Mr.. Hawks entertained them. Refresh
ments, choice and acceptable were served in
profusion and an evening of pleasure with
out alloy was greatly enjoyed.
