An Enjoyable Entertainment.

On last Thursday afternoon Mrs.
Geo. w. Boyd entertained the Coun-
try Club at "Cradland," her beautiful
home in the Dunbar neighborhood,
and although the weather was damp
and dreary and a chilly March wind
made life out of doors exceedingly
uncomfortable, the house within, with
it's beautiful floral decorations and
brightly burning fires, was gay and
cheerful.
The guests upon arrival We're ush-
cred into the reception room, where
amid the strains of music from a
large graphophone they were regaled
with refreshing fruit punch, which
was served by Mrs. w. P. CraddOck.
After having fingered a few moments
in this apartment the club members
entered the parlor, the folding doors
between the two apartments having
been pushed back and their easement
draped with wild smilax. Here the
guests enjoyed themselves in social
confab for short time, and then lis
tened with much pleasure to several
vocal selections which were charm
ingly rendered by Messrs. Craddock
Boyd and Joe Haley.
During the course of the afternoon
refreshments were served in the dim
ing room. The snowy white table
cloth was dotted here and there with
squares Of real point lace, and in the
center of the table was a miniature
crystal lake surrounding a bank of
violets four terraces high and resting

on a base formed of solid silver and
cut glass. An elegant two course
menu was served, the first course
consisting of chicken salad in lettuce
leaves, beaten biscuit, snowflake
crackers, sa1ted almonds, celery and
coffee, and the second course of ice
cream, served in natural orange cups,
chocolate bon-bons, cream mints and
various kinds of cakes.
The entertainment in it's every
phase was a most delightful one, and
the guests all united in words of un-
stinted and highly deserved praise for
Mrs. Boyd, the accomplished and gra-
cious hostess.

Mr.. T. K. Swoope, who has long
since established himself as one of
the most successful planters in the
prairie west of this city, believes in
turning everything to count on the
farm. Mr.. Swoope raises turkeys ex-
tensiyely, and after selling off his
flock for breeding purposes to peo-
pie who prize and appreciate fine
birds, he brought to this city the
past week sixteen turkeys which he
sold in the local market for $47.40,
the sixteen netting 395 pounds at
twelve cents. The prairie west of
this city is especially adapted to tur-
key raising, and it is surprising that
more farmers do not engage in it
extensively.
