Supper at Pleasant Grove

Yes. we know you will be sorry when you
hear Of 1t, but the many who were present
must tell the few who were not there, what
nice time we had ut the ice-cream supper
at Pleasant Grove last Wednesday evening.
Such rare congress Of youth, beauty. flow-
ers, "swcct" cake, .cold - lce-crcam and
real, warm, genial social enjoyment. is sell
com seen and never forgotten. 1t was just
splendid. simply s'rnri Ct rariores etam ra-
-rissimi." Such I'M mir of rural welcome and
sweet SIM LEFTY that was irresistibly charm
ing, pervaded the whole scene. The friend
~ heartfelt greetings. the merry. ringing
laughter, bright eyes and all that hid dull
care heeone, and created feeling In which
cropped out all the better impulses of our
nature. Beauty put on all its charmo and

How "purty they did look Bachelors
were on hand and in force, and thou. h i
have no particular liking for either kind, |
rather think the three widowers present
held well their hand and, it may be, got the
better of some Of the boys. ms all being
quite fnc-looking and young. too. they
forged well to the front in pleasing the la
dies and doing the handsome thing gene
rally. And, by the way. will mention it.
If you have never noticed the fact, there

average wi,lower, rarely. If ever. attained
by his no less clever, but mnch less expert
enced rival bachelor friend. that Is really
taking. giving him great vantage ground in
pushing his suit with the fair sex. All the
boys. however, acquitted themselves hand
somely in doing "the agreeable though
il did cost them " a dollar or two Mira
bile dictu there were only two candidates
present and they. out oil respect for the oc
casion, it is but justice to them to say, did
nothing in an eleciioncering way their bet
ter nature, doubtless, being more tcnderly
impressed by the fascinating surroundings.
To be brief, the cream supper was as great
a success financially AS socially. The cream
and ice -lemonade being cheap and in alum
dance, every one was satisfied with the
''cool treatment" JOY and happiness Was
unconfnei and all went merry us marri-

Miss Lula Hall EFT. visiting from Oktib-
beha, having received over 100 votes us the
prcttiest young lady, took the cake. which
netted about $lb. The entertainment was
for, the purpose of raising funds for lights
in the Pleasant Grove church. The net re-
ceipts were, ut Il u t, forty dollars. This
speaks well for the neiphborhood. but times
never get too hard for these good people to
get mp good thing. esperiallv in the inter-
est OF the church or school. Throwing
all sectarianism aside. they p' t'eir shout
dcrs together to the wheel and u bci t c
world. SO, If yoi woaid have n good Ne,
by all means go to the Pleasant Grove and
Suulc Chapel ncighhorhood.
