uardserabble Ta61 Pulling.

On last Friday evening, there was gath
cred at Hardscrabble, the country home
of S. L. Cornell, people from Hodgeman
and Ford counties. to the number of SO,
who came in wagons, carriages, carts,
horseback, on bicycles, on foot. for the
purpose of pulling taffy. All were wei
coined by Miss Minnie Cornell. the host
ess. Indeed, it seemed As though all of
Ford and Hodgeman county was present.
Even the good minister Rev. RulledEe,
conId not resist a Hardscrabbie taEy
pulling: and he came. Miss Cornell was
soon busy with the classes aud other
ingredients; and in the meantime there
was singing and some good old fashioned
games, such as spin the plate, drep tie
handkerchief, 1.-THE miller boy.'' ard Il
great many mere. Just before the taffy
Was ready. Mr. Ru:,edge was invited By
bis host to preach hort sermon. which
he I'll ,,!ly consented 70 90. For his text he
took Faith. Hope and Charity; and his
sermon was listened to with great inter-
est. After The sermon all adjourned out
s;,le and had picture taken by flashlight.
Then the word was passed that tafy was
ready. The real fun began. Everybody
bad taffy; some more than Others; but
all had some, and even a few were SO
etruck with the taffy that they had quite
a time parting with it.
At about a. m. the crowd began to
depart, and in short time all were gone;
anil then the greatest taffy pulling
In Ford county had gone into history.
Each guest voted Miss Connell an ex-
cellent and first class hostess, and many
were the promises to ''come next time
You have taffy pulling that Miss Con.
nell received. And our reporter wants |
