affinities. We found ourseH sandwiched
between Mayor Chuck and knight Billy

A barrel of lemonade. an iceburg OF

Orange grove, the Banana yield from
seven sections, nuts from choicest groves
and varied chimes, candies of endless
varieties, and everything else which

was spread upon the festive board. all
mingled with a hearty good will.
When the word was given to ''lay to, -
Mayor Gluck froze to some pickles and
stayed by his job with his customary
sticktativeness. During lunch Blossoms

of harmony. After all were filed to the
uttermost the knightly form of our es-
teemed townsman j. II. Churchill was
seen near the centre of the room. We ex-
pected that he would be a good toast
master and in this were not disappointed.
As he announced the toast, tour guests
he coupled with the name of D. w.
Moffitt. 1t was not necessary to intro
duce Dave. We all know him, and to
know such a one is to respect, honor
and esteem. This is q chestnut of q
toast, but Moffit handled it in a manner
PECULIARLY characteristic of the man. His
talk smacked of originality. He caused

L. E. McGarry seldom speaks in pub

When POSTMASTER Churchill spoke of
a young man who was aching to talk,
we all knew it was our brilliant Madison.
He was given very pleasant toast

His earnest manner, his vocabulary of
language, his remarkable gift as an
orator commends him as speaker upon
every occasion. He spoke of the ladies |
as our sisters. our wives, and mothers.
1t seems to be the plan to Sometime
catch Rev. Glendening mapping, but he
has always been found equal to the oc-
casion. 1.-The relation of the Christian

handled by the Presbyterian clergyman
in a mastery manner. When he came
TO the gist of his subject he was perfect
ly at home. The christian nature of !
man is what leads him to benevOlence.
These benevolent. brotherly orders lead
to more noble, cOnsecrated manhood
