Mr. Gardeners Dinner,

On last Friday Mr.. R. Gardner gave
at his home several miles in the coun.
try most bountliul dinner, which was
enjoyed by number of his ne,ghbors
and his friends from town.
Mr.. Gardner's work as a farmer is q
model of neatness always, and those
who went out to partake OF his dinner
were not surprised to find his entire
premises perfectly clean and in beauti-
full condition. Already the bitches on
his farm have been cleaned and i:
looked as if there was no place to
strike another lick.
Under the beautiful shades in the
clean sandy yard Mr.. Gardeners guests
gath cred and chatted awhile. Soon a
long table was laden with the finest OF
watermelons, such as only Mr., Gardner
can raise, and all part ook to satistac-
ton. At one O'Clock all were invited
to another table laden with a most
bountiful dinner OF choice barbecue
and perfect Brunswick stew and other
good things. 1t was a dinner for a
king, and when all had partaken to
full satisfaction many OF the guests
pronounced it the best dinner of Bruins
Wick stew they had ever tasted and no
wonder at that, for Mrs. Gardner at
tended to the cooking OF 1t in person.
After looking at some OF Mr.. Gard
ner's fine crop, the delighted guests
went away voting Mr.. and Mrs Gard
ner at the head of the list as entertain
ers at big farm dinners.
