These meetings, called parties, seem
to be making hit in Sun and Lake vi
entities this winter II suppose you call
them "hits''. The most recent one
was given at Mr.. and Mrs. Doc Roark's
home, about 50 attended. The time
was spent playing finch, crocinole ETC.
and was topped out" by such things
as are most desirable to ladies and

home jubllant and happy, but sleepy as

similar bolts before. Just at this time
the Sun City mail captain squeakeS out
"all aboard" and we hurried out into
the street only to meet a more inter.

boys, white and colored, were scrapping
like wild cats, and we would have got
