Advance Club Banquet.

The annual banquet of the Ad-
vance Club was held at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. M. Pogue on

in the adjoining parlors of Mr.. Jos.
s. POgue were invited to the ban
quet hall, where was spread fes-
tai board of wondrous beauty. The
table ran the entire length of the
double parlors and was brilliantly
lighted with candelabra. Sus
pended from the folding doorway
in the center was an immense bow
of pink satin ribbon, while extend
ing from this were broad strpamcrs
of ribbon reaching to either end of
the table, where they were gather
ed in large rosettes.

told of the forthcoming feast which
was served as follows by four col
ored mattresses:

The Committee, Mr.. Evans Ewing
During the past four years the
banquet of the Advance Club and
its predecessor, the Chautauqua
Circle, has been an event of much |
interest, not only to the partici-
pants but also to the many friends
of the literary society of Rising
Sun. Each succeeding banquet
has out-shone those of the past
until it would seem the limit had
been reached by last Friday even
iug's event, which left nothing to
be desired, each feature having
been brought out to fulness never
before attained on similar occa-
sion. The success of the banquet
may be attributed to the well di-
rected efforts of the committee in
charge, coupled with the hearty
of all the members.
The ladies in charge were:
Mrs. w. R. Burlington
Miss Mary Brumfeld
Miss Gertrude S. Dare
Miss H. Jennie Reynolds
Miss M. Addie Smith
In addition to the committee those
present were : Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. M.
