Gay Time at Centsrville.

The young people in and around Cen
terVille gathered last Friday night at
the hOspitable home of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Roberts near that place and
for several hours the spacious halls and
cool rooms of the old house presented
a scene that would have reminded one
Of the GLORIOUS times before the war"
No second invitation or special urging
is ever needed to attract the young
people to this most generous and festive
home, and Friday night they came
from all directions bent upon having a
good time and near the wee small
hours they departed, fully satisfied
with the evenings entertainment. II
one had looked In at the happy crowd
in the old Roberts homestead Friday
night and watched the expressions on
the honest faces of the merry crowd
to the strains Of the sweet music they
would have been forcibly reminded Of
the good old days in the past when the
courtly knights and sweet maidens of
the Old South made the social side of
life at this season Of the year one
round Of pleasure and enjoyment amid
the beautiful and picturesque hills of
old Leon. Mr.. and Mrs. Roberts
proved most delightful and entertain
ing hosts and will always hold a warm
place in the hearts of the young peo-
pie of that section. Among those
present were Mr.. and Mrs. Roberts,
Mrs. Conner, Misses Murray, Avery,
Willie Johnson, Myrtle Granting,
Clyde Baum, Elite earn, Alene and
Helen johnson, Ethel and Edna Tits
worth, Gladys Roberts and Bessie Bur-
dine, and Messrs Herbert Smith, Tom
