session of the w. B. Easterling
farm 4 miles southeast of town,
which Mr.. Simmons has leased

the very best and Mr.. Martin de-
serves much credit for his in
terest in such matters.
Thanksgiving Day was appro-

with fruits, cereals and flowers,

raised in this climate were neat
ly arranged and gave each who
gazed on them an opportunity to
see and realize how much oul
people have to be truly thankful
