r., A. DAY,

The long looked for 18th day OF October
has come and gone. The boys who assem-
bled at Dallas have returned TO their re-
spectivc spheres Of work in the different
parts OF the State but though the rally is
! a thing OF the past the recollections OF III
pleasant days spent through the kindness
and hospitality OF the members OF Post L,
Will long live amongst all the participants.

| 1t VIII n3t need 10 advertise the fact IL
VIII simply have 10 whisper the da.e and
| all will be on hand The programme ar
\ ranged for the occasion was q most suit
able one and carried through without
hitch. 1t is impossible here to mention all
| 10 whom thanks are due. as every one Of
those 302 members of Post Il deserve them,
but we can not emit the name OF the man
who was one OF the chief promoters TO sue
cess, MIR. Faul Erb, whose kindness and
nara work were apparent upon all occa-
sions.
Not less enjoyable indeed than their stay
at Dallas was the aftermath at Fort Worth,
for a small PARTY who spent there the sun
day following as the guests of Rev. Homer
I. Wilson and family. Its personnel was
Mr.. and Mrs. Jerry Porter. Mrs. Louis I.
La Beaume of ST. Louis, Messrs. j. E.
Newton. Harry Bensant, Ernst Lasker
and Dan NJ. Lasker. The raty
attended services at Mr.. Wilson's
church and were pleasantly surprised to
find 1t decorated In their honor with
Welcome T. p. A." After listening to
one of those delightful sermons, as only
Homer 4. Wilson can deliver, all repa red
to the latter's home. where dinner was
waiting for them. The afternoon passed
only too quickly, as Is always the case
when you have good time. for there never
have been found more delightful entertain-
ers than the Wilson's. Supper was enjoyel
at the hospItable home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Howard Peak, and the guests regretted not
to be able to stay longer, as Il was time
for the evening services with Mr.. Jerry
Porter In the pulpit. After few happy
remarks by Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Howard
Peak intended to reconcile the two words
Drummer" ard Pulpit" (Which is not
such an easy matter as X looks. Mr. Por-
ter addressed the congregation, and soon
captivated them completely. He spoke
about religion as II he was in the habit 0,
handling this subject every day OF his life.
and while injecting a great dsnl OF his
original humor. he impressed his hearers
with his earnestness. Incidentally he
touched the great versatility OF the drum
mer who commences his exercises with |
prayer ara end Ism with a Prize fight"
This has been Mr.. and Mrs. Porter's first |
visit to Texas, and 1t is 10 be trusted that |
their own impressions are as pleasant as |
those which they left amongst their newly |
won friends. TO honor tho Kentucky |
guests, Miss Mamie the daughter of Ho- !
mer T. Wilson. sang at the end OF :ha SER
vices the beautiful "My Old Kentucky |
Home" and proved that she is singer OF
great ability.
All the party wish once more 10 return
thanks for all kindness received to Messrs
Wilson and Peak and their families and
will always remember a day most pleas
